And there were soldiers passing,
proud to be
Soldiers, and not unwilling we should
see
A girl went rushing by, with some
thing warm
In her smiling, and with books be-
meath her arm;
A group of small boys loitered past,
and then
In eager, confidential chat two men;
Then some one disappointed and
alone
Whose business hadn't gone the way
1t should.
The secrets shoulders tell! when if
we could
We would silence them as firmly as
we do
Our mouths and eyes. How wary
mine have grown!
Then came two shoppers, in their
high, tense jargon
Each boasting to the other of a bar
gain;
Then others, women, men, a child or
or two;
A poet with his hat off, striding out
Against the world, his every step a
shout;
And people in the distance, who, l
knew
Were people, but who seemed like
blurs of blue.
1 looked out, out to where the
lights and rain
Were putting silver on the street,
and black,
To see at last If you were coming
back
Who never can come back to me
again.
But as I stood alone and watched for
you
With bitterness and pain-before l
knew,
The bitterness and grieving all were
gone.
The Spring wind touched me, I
looked down upon
The little tragedies of shoulder, and
Slow feet, tired head, and languid,
listless hand;
The little comedies of birdlike. fleet
ing
Quick .glances, and of glad eyes
boldly meeting.
You gave your life that these young
things might safe
Their thirst for spring, might laugh,
and weep and mate.
That life might still go on like this,
you died.
To save their youth, your youth was
crucified
You live in them, and shall forever
after
Be one with love and youth and joy
laughter

Tech Kuskies and
Alumni Garry c1 This
Evening in Basketball

Doc" Miller, mastermind of basket
ball, will hurl mis- cohort, made UP
from Elmer John Beck, Lingle, Wills
bach. Frank, Smith, Kohlman and
Bill, at the Alumni chaps in Chestnut
Street Auditorium tonight, the latter
to be chosen from these: Fred Hus-
ton, Harry Miller, Ted Lloyd, George
little, Jerry Frock, Charley Pollock
Carl Beck may not be a member of
the Tech team, but his brother,
johnny forward on last years S
scrub team, is coming TO the front in
the basketball world at Tech. 1t is
going to bo a hot fight throughout the
season between Elmer and Johnny"
for the job as running mate to
Buddy Lingle, who has already
cinched the other forward position.
Coach Miller is very much pleased
with Beck's work and says that the
boy looks very much like a varsity
man. Beck has worked for three
years with the object of landing a
berth on the varsity five and, as he is
Senior this year. it would be fine
thing for him if his hopes are realiZ-
ed. If he continues TO put up the
game that he is doing now. it is like
ly that he will shove somebody out
of a varsity position.
The notorious jazz band, of Tech,
will cheer the fray. and a great crowd
is expected to ogle the first of these
series of games.
Directly before the game tonight
the Tech quintet will elect a captain
for the ensuing season. There are
several players eligible so the choice
may not be a unanimous one. A little
inside tip signifies that the Tech toss
ers are going to confer the honor up
on "Buddie" Lingle, who has played
forward job on the squad for the
past three years.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THE NEW YEAR


To the Editor of the Telegraph.
A happy New Year to all. Now, to
attain it lies in the power OF our Con-
gress here to do it. They should al
low us and our Allies, say. for twelve
months. all articles OF food, clothing
ana everything that may be deemed
necessaries of life to pass the customs
duty free in order to recuperate our
selves and our Allies by this inter-
change. 1t will result in the general
betterment of us all, particularly here
where at present the necessaries Of
life have reached prices of an alarming
altitude never approached in the an
mails of cur existence.
1t will tackle in the right direction
our producers and profiteers and show
them what can be done. am per-
ftctly confident 1t will mean the
downfall OF these shocking and alb
surd prices. This competition now

Will compel them to produce these
necessities, both in quality and prices.
to meet it. We do not want to be
pacitied by the statement of our high
priced labor. 1t is what you have
made it. What is the use of it, when
the prices of the necessities of life
have been raised beyond all under
standing. 1t is time that our Govern
mcnt takes this matter up at once
anG protect its people and remedy this
terrible injustice. for it is very seri-
Gus matter, and this profiteering with
the necessaries Of life must be
stopped. Yes. this bubble must burst
or be burst.
I sincerely trust that Uncle Sam
will take into consideration actual
facts regarding the British fleet 1T
the peace settlement. 1t has always
proved itself to be the right kind of
policeman of tho seas and in more
than this war has rendered most use
full services to this country and cur
British brothers will always do the
same when and where required.

was then discovered that the noted
French fighter had outgrown the
middleweight class and, therefore, the
championship was not at stake in this
fight with Smith.
The bout went on Just the same.

in former articles. So. we all packed
up and took the long trip during
which we had so many interesting
experiences.
Meanwhile Klaus returned TO this
country and was considered the mid
dleweight champion. although he
really did not have any actual clam
to the title. Smith was on his way
to Australia and Klaus carried the
crown. Klaus lost to Chip and Chip
lost to Mccoy and Mccoy was beaten
by O'Dowd. so Mike is now the Cham

service hope that he and Smith will
be able to get together.
Smith tells me he will willingly nut

with ODowd and the winner may then
be the real champion and there will
be no flaw to the title"

Blue Ridge League
For 1919 Is Planned

Hagerstown, Dec. 27.-A move
ment is already on foot to form
Blue Ridge Baseball League for
1919. Some time ago President
]. Vincent Jamison, Jr., an
nounced that he believed it would
be impossible to organize a league
for 1919, such as was formed in
former seasons. Fans believe,
however, that a small league can
successfully be organized to open
May 80 next by which time, it is
believed, the majority of the men
serving under the national colors
will &c home and anxious to see
baseball.
If times continue prosperous it
is believed a small league could
be operated. Frank Smith, base
ball leader in Frederick, has as
sured the fans here that Fred
erick wants baseball in 1919.
Eddie Hooper conferred with
Smith relative to the prospect for
a league. Hooper, who was man
ager of Chambersburg's club last
year, thought the formation of a
league next year possible. He
suggested that Hagerstown, Fred
eEick, Chambersburg and either
Martinsburg or Waynesboro COM
prise the league.
Waynesboro is anxious to get
into a four-club league. Smith
thinks good players can easily be
obtained next year.

Miller Higgins is tracking Ty
Cobb to his lair in Georgia to per-
suade him to change his mind and
stay in the game this year. While
declaring his desire to quit, the
Georgia Peach" it is said, would
be only too glad to play center for
the Yankees If he gets his price.
Cobb's price is said to be a three
year contract at $4,000 annually.
And 1t is said that Colonel Rupert,
part owner of the New York club,
would be only too pleased to offer the
famous outfielder this lucrative con-
tract If his release can be bought
from the Detroit club.
1t is hardly likely that Cobb will
return to the Tigers unless President
Nayin meets his terms.
