JUST FOLKS
BY Edgar A. Guest

LOST OPPORTUNITIES!
when l am rich,'" he used to say,
"a thousand joys I'll give away.
I'll walk among the poor 1 find
And unto one and all be kind.
I'll place a wreath of roses red
Upon the bier of all my dead. .
I'll help the struggling youth to
climb.
In doing good I'll spend my time.
To all in need I'll friendly be
The day that fortune smiles on me-"
He never guessed that being kind
Depends upon the heart and mind
And not upon the purse at all;
That poor mems gifts, however small.
Make light some weary travellers
And smooth for him his troubled
road.
He never knew or understood
The fellowship of doing good.
Because he had not much to spare,
He thought it vain to give his share.
Yet many passed him, day ~ day,
He might have helped along the way.
He fancied kindness something which
Belongs entirely to the rich.
And so he lived and toiled. for gold,
Unsympathetic, harsh and cold.
Intending all the time to share
The burdens that his brothers bear,
When he possessed great wealth and
he
Could well afford a friend to be.
His fortune came, but, oh, too late!
The poor about him could not wait.
They never guessed and knew
The things that he had meant to do.
Few knew how much he'd planned to
give
II God had only let him live.
And when at last his form was cold,
All that he'd left on earth was gold.
A kindly name is something which
A man must earn before he's rich.

Two years ago today the United
States entered the war against Ger
many. The war resolution adopted by
Congress was signed by the President
at 1:14 o'clock the afternoon of April
6, 1917. The President Immediately
issued a proclamation declaring that
a state of war existed between this
country and Germany.
In commemoration- of the entry of
the United States into the war. Secre
tary Baker of the War Department
last night issued the following state
ment:
Two years ago today America
entered the world war and joined
forces with the brave peoples who
had for nearly three years resisted
mobilized to it's remotest hamlet, and
the affection and support Of our peo-
pie surged around the great Army
which we summoned. trained and dis
patched to Europe as the representa-
tive of American strength and ideals.
The night of doubt turned into the
day of vindicatior, and now on the
second anniversary of our entry into
the war we lind the armed resistance
of our adversaries broken. and
great council assembled in Paris to
set the terms of peace and to make
possible the reconstruction of the
forces of the world, which have been
shattered by the devastation of war.
Just men and humane men every
where are looking with fervent hope
to these deliberations. and America,
conscious of rew-found strength. sees
both higher destiny for herself and
broader application of the princi-
es upon which her own growth has
proceeded among other peoples of the
world.
The cost of the war in life and
wealth has been great. Some of it's
losses are beyond repair. but the
future will be better for men and
women everywhere if the high spirit
which achieved this victory uses its
fruits for the protection of peace
and the encouragement of justice
among men as the basis of all inter-
national relations. Two years ago
our great task was to win the war:
today our great task is worthily to
apply it's lessons and use its results"
The war resolution was adopted
by the Senate on the night of April
4 by a vote of 50 to s. 1t then went

Sary at Their Quiet Home
on Wyoming Avenue.

Although he discovered the north
pole ten years ago today Rear Admiral
Robert E. Peary still dreams of the
discovery of the last secrets of the
inner polar regions. as he sits at his
home at 1881 Wyoming avenue and
quietly observes with his family the

their way to wrest irony the polar
regions the secrets which they still
withhold from man. Admiral Peary
and his brave party planted the Stars
ana Stripes on the north pole, but the
stay on that long-sought spot neces-
Sarily was brief.
Much yet remains to be found out
about the inner polar seas. and Ad-
miral Peary is firm in his belief that
the airplane. which during the great
war received such development, will
be the means of these final discoveries.
He hardly will again go to the pole,

party to the point from which they

dog and sled as the motive powers and
vehicle with which to wrest secrets
from those vast polar regions. AL
though he retains to this day his love
for the brave dogs, he has long be-
fieved that the future of discovery at
the pole Hes with the airplane, driven
by the mighty gasoline engines.
Dreams Of the silence of the polar
seas split by the roar of the airplane
engine have been with Admiral Peary
since shortly after his return from
the pole. Preliminary reconnaissance
of the still unknown areas of the
north and south polar regions will be
a matter OF a few weeks instead of
several years.
