SONGS OF THE TRENCHES
(By Winifred Black.)

They're singing in the trenches,
the English, the French and the
Americans They've been singing in
the German trenches Don't you re-
member the story of the Christmas
eve when they sang ooh, Holy
Night" and lit little candles for the
Christmas trees in the German
trench?
And now they're singing in the
trenches of the allies. What is it
that they sing? New soldiers songs
written with so much interest and
care?
Not at all. They've evidently new
er even heard note of them. Old
war songs-"The Gallants of Eng
land" "The Marseillaise," "Marl-
brough," Yankee Doodle" or even
"a Hot Time in The Old TOWN."
No, they chose different song.
'This is the end of a perfect day"
after a day of roar and fever and
death and murder! The end of per-
feet day!
what a lovely thing it is, this
much about. Selfish, foolish, vain,
mad@yes, so it is most of the time.
But let it come to the last-and it
rises like a splendid phoenix from
the ashes of it's own destruction.
In the Crimean war the English
soldiers sang, not "The British
Grenadier" or "Britains Never Shall
Be Slaves but as hearts that love
and memory holds true, 'Annie Lau-
rie" And the Crimean valleys
rang night after night to the melody
of the old, old song written in honor
Of one whose voice was low and
sweet"
In the war of the American rebel
lion they sang, "The Years Roll
Slowly BY, Lorena," on one side of
the Potomac, and Listen to the
Mocking Bird on the other.
A fighting man fights, but he re-
members, and oh, sometimes l cannot
help but feel that this hideous war
which is tearing the world to pieces
like mad dog is giving us chance,
after all, to see through the veil we
all attempt to wear. 1t has torn
down and thrown away the foolish
mask we carry, most of us, and made
us show ourselves as we really are,
human and loving and very, very
sad.

Dear boys in the trenches, keep
On with your singing, and sing as you

that will be to you like those you're
making now in this time of your suf-

Bangor Accepts 6.Cent Fares

The Bangor Commercial in it's issue
of Dec. % published the following:
Patrons Of the Bangor Railway &
Electric Co. are advised that the new
year will bring them joy in the way
of an increase in rates of the street
cars of that company, which will ac-
cept the decision rendered by the
Public Utilities commission granting
an increase of one cent on all five
cent fares. excepting on one zone in
Orono. where the fare is reduced to
three cents.
The company has not yet filed its
new schedule which act automatically
brings into force the commissions
ruling, but may do so at any moment
which means that the six cent fare
may even become effective before the
first Of the new year.
Manager Graham Of the B. r. & E,
does not appreciate the commissions
ruling in it's entirety, as he says that
the collection Of a three cent fare on
six cent register is an unavoidable
proposition, but he is willing to try
and discover some solution Of the
problem, although he confesses that
there is no system known to him
which is adequate for the needs Of the
present situation.
