Of them regard II as game, big
tragic game il you please, but game
nevertheless, and when IL was over
game ended, and they do not want to
keep on playing after the last man is
out Nine out Of ten hope that it was
the last game of the last series. 1t is
to be sincerely hoped that the league
of nations will receive all its advo.
Gates claims, but the best league
know of would be an alliance with
Great Britain.
Great Britain would take care of
Japan, and that combination, with
others that would naturally flock to
it, could withstand any other combi.
nation.
France, OF course, is very dear to
most of our people, but / find little
sympathy with President Wilson'S S
statement that America would rush
to Frances aid if the latter is unjustly
attacked" Our boys here do not feel
that their chief work for the future is
to take the chestnuts of someone else
out of the fire. They want their good
homes and their peaceful pursuits and
not a continual mix-up in foreign af-
fairs, answering the call for help from
every little quarrelsome nation
When the war is all over and the
boys are home you will then realize
that under the stress and strain of
war conditions many forms of propa-
ganda were inaugurated.
1t is to be hoped that your paper
has not indulged in any of the mud
singing contributed by some of the
newspapers against the "Y." / am
not so much interested in the attacks
upon the men, as they can take care
of themselves in most cases, but it
might be unfair and unjust to make
wholesale condemnation of the wo-
men workers, simply because few
have been silly, frivolous and indis-
Greet. Take the best and the ordi.
nary of human nature as you know it
and then average it up, allowing for
delinquencies consequent upon war
stress and strain and you have a fair
estimate of the welfare organizations.
The good in each one of them out
weighs the bad.
There is something doing here ev-
cry day. Band concerts, boxing con-
tests, dozens of baseball games, all
contributed to amuse the fellows for
the few weeks they are to remain
here. A parade every day by the crack
regiments of the Third army, which is
getting ready to exhibit in London,
sends Ia thrill of admiration all over
you and they are surely good to look
upon.
The air service is breaking up here,
more or less, and the day before yes
terday l witnessed sixty machines
leave the aviation field for some part
of France. The life here is anything
but monotonous, but with it all can
be happy with nothing this side of
Mt. Vernon.
With very best wishes,

far and wide,
For men to uphold her great honor

With heart that was loyal, cour.

He went as soldier to dare and to

But another call came from a country

In the radiant beam of bright gold.

And tender voice speaking with in
finite love,
Called him into the ranks of the army
above.
In the dawns early light fair lily
of France
Awakes from its slumber with joy in
its glance,
To open its beautiful petals of white
And bathe in the morning dew, spark
ling and bright
And sweet is the tale it will fragrant
ly spread
In wave of perfume to the breeze
overhead
OF the vigil it tirelessly, lovingly
keeps
Der the spot where the soldier boy
silently sleeps.
And Oft when the shadows, at close
of the day,
Creep over the earth with mantle of
gray,
And twilight, in colors of golden and
blue,
Seems to blend with the even stars
silvery hue,
The zephyrs that pass on the wings
of the night,
Ger valley and steep, in musical
flight,
Sing in tones low and sweet, to the
fiow'r heaven blest,
Guard thee well, gentle lily, our SOL

Payment to the Piper By Wiiheim's Crew After the Dance of
 Death. Il

Tn his Soldiers Three" Kipling makes that wild Irishman. Mulvaney. say, For every time you dance you must pay the piper, and sometimes 1t is cruel hard"
 Germany wanted to dance to the tune of Autocracy. to the measure Of World Dominion. For a matter of half century Germany was preparing for the dance. She hoped to dance and let the rest of the world pay the bill. For the piper who pipes for the dance must always be paid.
 But today Germany is entering upon the day of payment. It is a different day to what she had planned. The. dance master. Wilhelm, had estimated that Europe could be made to dance the Dance of Death and pay for her own funeral steps. Wilhelm had planned 1t all as Germany's party. And now the World, the New World and the Old World, is standing by to see that Germany avs her own Death Dance bills
 Europe had been half expecting some such action on the part of the dance master of PotsJsm. Neverthe less it all came as a surprise away back wonder in August of 191+. Tht nations of Europe who were to bt made to dance at his Iarty were not dressed for the occasion. They were not up to date in their military dress They did not care for the music, pre- ferring the softer strains of peace But they were forced to dance any way. It was Germany's own party.
 And now it is over. The day O. pay ment comes and the Allies are thu paymasters. They furnished the Smu sic for the last waltzes of the Hun. out of Trance. They piped the strain. that sent the Hohenzollerns two-step ping into oblivion.
 And Germany doesn't like 1t. Tit Germans are whining considerably They are not talking much about tn. shining sword" or "our inflexible vii to conquer" or about making Lloyc George or President Wilson "bits granite" The dancing masters o Potsdam, Kaiser Wilhelm and ths Crown Prince and the various Vons the Mackensens, the Ludendorffs, ane the Hindenburgs are all out of job
