SHELL MONASTERY

An interesting development in con-
nection with the hostile Smelling Of
the territory around Mont des Cats
in the KENNEL region. where the ia
NOUS. Trappist Monastery is located;
is the fact that the Germans have
been bombarding this Flemish eleva-
ton heavily and the monks home
has been badly destroyed.
The German emperor recently
wrote a letter to his commander in
that area asking that Mount. des Cats
be spared because the aged prior Of
the monastery was the only living

depth of feeling. Celeste Aida" the
famous. opening air from .Verdis

A little group OF Norwegian folk
songs with music composed by Chr.
Slnd1ng (who, by the way, seems to
be known In America chiefly because
OF his "Fruehlingsrauschen") was pre-
faced by a few remarks by the singer
who said that. in his opinion. people
were inclined to overlook the fact that
Sinding had revived the Morse folk
songs much more effectively than
Grieg; In this group, IT Heard the

were most popular. The final group
included Alness' Last Journey and
Grieg.s Behold the Great White

voice soaring into the far, far skies.
A burst of applause, repeated time

Mr.. Hammer gave as encores two ex-
ceedingly humorous folksongs.
Nine. Borgny Hammer won the af-
lection of everyone by her reading of
Bjoernson's dramatic poem, "Bergl-

three of which we were company COM
manders training recruits until June
20, when we were transferred to the
machinist branch and given a first
class machinist's mate rate and were
transferred to an eastern recruiting
ship in New York.
We leave here for France on a

Every community is divided into workers and shirkers. hop. CTS and mopers. The workers toll on cheerfully daily contrib. utjng to the prosperity of the place and full of hope and plans for it's future. The shirkers hang back. contribute nothing to it's welfare, criticise those who do and talk despondingly of things in general. Strange as it may seem, it is easier to be a worker than a shirker. and cer. tainly it is a good deal better all around. Then, also, there is the satisfaction of knowing that ones life amounts to something. Therefore. don't shirR, work; don't nope, hope.

HARRIS HEARD BY
MONTGOMERY men

MT. VERNON, Ga, August Fresh
from a successful and highly crafty
ing tour of counties of middle wes-
| tern Georgia, William j. Harris re-
newed his campaign in South Georgia
today, speaking to the voters of Mont
gomery county, where he had been
given assurances in advance of a most
cordial and enthusiastic reception.
Mr.. Harris has already covered the
larger potion of the southern section
Of the state where his friends assert
he will not lose five counties south
OF Macon. Harris supporters here as
sured him that Montgomery county
is already counted strongly in his col
umn.
Speaking to a splendid and enthusi-
aetic audience of Montgomery county
voters, Mr.. Harris strongly attacked
the record of Senator T. W. Hard
wick, along the line of his votes in
the senate against the ship purchase
Bill, against the nitrate bill and other
treasures which he declared were cab
culated to prove of the greatest ben
eft to the farmers of Georgia and
the south.
Speaking of his own record, Mr.. Har-
lis stated how, as head of the United
States census bureau he had caused
the separation of linters from cotton
il the cotton reports, thereby bring
irg out more nearly the true crop
conditions and Strengthening the cot
ton market. Prior to that time lin
te,s had been included as cotton and
indicated larger crop.
