1.-THE GENERAL SPEAKS"

No blare of trumpets, no band to elate,
The presence of this warrior bold,
No medals, no tassels, gold fringe, but
sedate,
He enters. as did the knights of old.
What marvellous power does he exert
Ger all with whom he chances to meet,
What makes every heart thrill, all eyes
alert,
He speaks from wondrous depth of heart,
Simple yet august truths to the men,
Whom he hath gathered in this great mart
Who could write failure under his name
Who could their principles not uphold
Who would not suffer the sweet great pain
OF wounds won on the cloth of gold?
He instills the blood of forefathers boys
Who fought when we were strugglers
He lifts the veil that would make us toys
In the hands of despots who desire to kill
All freedom, liberty, and bring doom
To democracy, love and honored men.
Is there wonder then they crowd the room
Bankers, laborers, the rest Of them?
He speaks no innunendoes, just plain facts
OF what you and 1 must contemplate
The barbaric horrors of the enemy 9 acts
And warns us in time ere 1t be too late.
Could anyone from this warning shrink,
Could you from your duty turn while
On>the other side the enemies stink
From their holes to perpetrate acts so
vile?
His speech is thru, the crowd dispersed,
Yet something fingers in their minds,
The farm hand, others better versed
Are going where freedom now reclines
On weakened pedestal, only needing aid.
From US to raise her high, aloft.
Which one of us is now afraid
To shout, I'VE come" in tones not soft!
Oh, noble general. oh, warrior bold! we go
From you, some will not return
But can we forget your truths told so
We could not fail to fight and learn
That our cause is right and must prevail,
We must lose no time, there's not one
who could
But with bare fist the Hun" assail!
And bring back victory! General Wood!
INSCRIBED to Major General Wood
By MYRON MALONE,

GENERAL IS So
Wednesday Was Birthday OF
General Wood.
French War Medal, Conferred
in 1908, Arrives.

Wednesday was the fifty-eighth
birthday of Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
commanding officer of the Tenth di-
vision and Camp Funston. The gen.
eral would not permit the interruption
of the drills or training schedules, so
the day passed without ceremony 9TH
er than the friendly greetings from
his officers and the receipt of tele-
grams and messages of congratulation
and good wishes from friends in vari-
Gus parts of the country.
By a happy coincidence the grand
cross of the Legion of Honor, the
highest honor which can be conferred
by the French government. which was
actually conferred on General Wood in
1908 in recognition of lbs distinguished
military service in Scuba and the
Philippines and as governor of Cuba
in the trying days of the reconstruc-
ton of that war-torn nation, has just
arrived. 1t was customary at that
time not to permit our officers to re-
ceive decorations from foreign gov
ernments, therefore, the decoration
has been retained in the official de-
pository in the war department in
Washington until the recent law was
passed by congress.

JEWISH WELFARE BOARD

a number of the boys attended the
outdoor social gathering and a real,
jovial and hilarious time was had by
all those present. Several large boxes
Of sweetmeats forwarded by the Y. W.
H. A. of Kansas City and fruit and
cigars were also distributed to the
men in uniform.
Mr.. Gelfand, field representative,
graphically detailed his experiences
and outlined his plans for the rendi-
ton of more extensive service to the
soldiers in general, after possession is
taken of the new J. W. B. building
within the next few weeks.
Mr.. Gelfand was in Topeka last
Monday and On Tuesday evening adj
dressed the executive committee of the
Y. NJ. H. A. and Y. W. H. A. at the
Y. NJ. H A. building in Kansas City.
While there he also purchased equip
ment and necessary interior furnish
ings for the new structure.
The building will contain a large
meeting room and library on one side
of which will be located an old fash
Toned fireplace where a log fire will
be kindled during the fall and wintry
nights. thus suggesting a homelike
atmosphere, and will contribute to
make those who gather about more
comfortable and happy. A novel fea-
ture in the building is the kitchenette
where refreshments and warm drinks
will be prepared and offered to all
during the winter season. There will
also be small dormitory for the Sc
commodation of visitors; garage
large enough to contain two automo-
biles has been erected in the rear of
the building.
Drop leaf writing tables with NOV
able benches are to be constructed in
the meeting room and bore holes for
ink wells will be placed in the table
tops and an ink well holder under
each hole. The entire exterior of the
building will be painted sky blue
The dedication plans are not as yet
completed and will be announced later
and it is expected that some eminent
and distinguished people will take part
in the dedicatory exercises.
Private Louis Pessman, the well
known artist, who has embellished the
government camp exchange in the
Arcade at Camp Funston with signs
that have been admired by ALL will
paint the sign on the front elevation of
the building.
The structure is located on the Zone
directly east of the officers Y. NJ. C. A.
