 So the Lorimer violets were all to go to my little home town to be scattered over my grave!
 I crlImpled Mother Lorimer's dear letter in my clenched band-and so came back to consider it's contents. It shook my resolve not to reveal my identity. Between the strained lines of it. I read the depth of Mothers grief. It had been my impulse to wire her of my safety-I had been about to ask Tommy to do so, then Dr. Kramer had intervened. Since my talk with him, I had definitely decided that l must piay alone when the stake played for was Bob's love.
 Certainly I could never manage to meet him as one of the show girl type unless I was safely hidden from all the Lorimer family. Mother would hardly tolerate any such masquerade And so I couldn't even write her a word of comfort, in the name of Eloise hecause she would recognize my hand writing.

About the worst thing that could happen to Italy would be to succeed in it's design of occupying the territory the eastern of the Adriatc which it has no just claim, It yet be awarded it, or in the absence of award, it may occupy for time by force. In either it will be regarded as an intruder by the peoples whose claims have been pushed aside And they people additionally prone to Italy would have effected a solidarity of Jugo-Slavs and Greeks who, with the other peoples of the Balkans would be a continual menace Nor is Italy making strong bid for world sympathy and support. In case of future coalition against her. she would appeal in vain to her former allies Italy time in the world has enlisted the respect of her neighbors It seems foolish to take on a load of enmity.

Doing His Part

We present here poem that ought to awaken in- terest in the Victory oan It was written by a man at present without name; he has only a number. We judge from the penmanship that he is a person of culture But his letter contains the appeal To the Editor, Florence April 26. Arizona Republican: Having read that the boys coming home and that the Victory loan has been launched, and having the opportunity of meeting the boys and having whatever of buying any bonds, I absolutely without funds thought that would try to help in little way. So, enclosed is little poem. l do not know if it has any literary worth, but if it help in putting the loan you indeed welcome to ii.
 Yours truly.
 A CONVICT
 (No-) They're here! they're here "our boys from there The dangers of strife past,
 Victory's aures OCT them cast, Every breast with joy expands and sends fervent
 prayer To Him on high who guarded safe "our boys from
 there"
 The stormed heights, trench-riven plain Shell torn ridge the hellish rain, Of bullets shrieking they fall
 For death to spread itself all. The agony producing fumes
 tSee, the shape that man assumes) The torn limbs the sightess eye
 The gaping wounds, the sobbinS s.gh The hush of death the cry of pain The bloody cough, the hosts of stain Proclaim the deeds of valor done. Anl tell the tale that Victorys won By Americas for Americas son.

Citizens Must
Work to Save
Any Nation

The answer to the second Ques-
tion proposed in our second lesson
How is our government organized
to do those things, which as a
! government. we believe it ought to
, do?-is found In the frame work Of
our national constitution.
No citizen of this country can af-
ford to live uniformed as to tho
character and structure of that in
strument. When you enter a rail-
road train, you resign yourself to
the care and skill of the train crew.
knowing that however they pro-
pose to get you to your destination,
you can have nothing to say to mod
ify their methods. If you take pass
age on a steamboat to go to some
distant port, you recognize that yor
are in the hands of a group of men
in whose preparation, selection, and
performance you haze had and can
have no voice. To run the train
and to sail the ship is no part of
your duty.
however, the coarse to be followed.
the selection of the officers. the
measure of their performance of the
duties assigned them, all are the
business ofevery citizen passenger.
1t is not my purpose to enter in
to an analysis of our constitution.
I wish in each of these lessons to
develop one thought of fundament-
al importance in citizenship and to
arouse, IL possible, determination
on the part of those who live under
the flag to study to know what 1t
stands for.
| It was not the ontention of the
trainers of the national constitution
to create a purely democratic form
| of government, nor did the states in
its adoption believe that they were
forming a democracy. 1t was fully
understood that though it was to be
government OF. for, and by the
people, the citizens would function
in an indirect rather than in di-
rect manner; that there was being
formed a representative republic.
Without giving a great deal of
thought to the real distinction be-
tween the two forms of govern
ment, the people, recognizing their
lack of direct participation in the
affairs of state have fallen into a
state OF apathy with relation to the
very important part they should
play indirectly in the choice of those
upon whom is placed the duty OF
carrying into effect the will of the
people.
1t is recognized principle that a
man may often do greater wrong
by remaining silent than he might
do at another time by much speak
ing. This principle is applicable to
the citizen who refuses or neglect
to perform his duty in the choice OF
candidates or the election to office
He has done all that by his silence
and inaction he can do to under
mine our republican institution.

BLAME THE War DEPARTMENT

Experienced Mail Clerks May Be
Sent to Make Deliveries.

Washington.-From eight oten car
loads Of mail for American soldiers are
undelivered in France. Second Assist
ant Postmaster General Praeger told
the senate postoffice committee. and
thousands and probably millions" of
letters addressed to the men overseas
will arrive in New York soon to be
sent to the dead letter office where
an attempt will be made to return
them to the writer's.
Blame for the failure to deliver
this mail was placed on the war de-
partment by Mr.. Praeger. who again
explained that the army authorities
handle all soldiers mail in France,
the postoffce department delivering
outgoing mail at Hoboken and receiv-
ing returning mail at the French ports.
Mr.. Praeger said one way to i'm
prove conditions overseas would be to
send a force of experienced mail
clerks to France to deliver the mail
to the soldiers.
Mr. Praeger told the committee that
one reason for the confusion in the
delivery OF mail to soldiers was the
failure OF the war department to keep
up its index system. This same cause,
he declared, also was responsible for
the departments delay in sending out
allotments to soldiers and in reporting
casualties.

postponement OF consideration Of the
league OF nations proposal until after

South Dakota. Republican, and Myers,
OF Montana. Democrat.
Both insisted that problems Of the

Senator Sterling contended that ex-
listing relations between America,
Great Britain. France and italy made
league OF nations to enforce peace
unnecessary. Senator Myers advocat-
ed establishing restricted league
later, without impairing the sover-
eighty of dts members, and with the
central powers barred at least for this
generation.
Death for the former kaiser, life
Imprisonment Of Won Bernstorff and
others, Senator Myers said, should be

He also argued for reputation Of Ger
many's war debt and payment OF the
entire cost &C the war bv the Ger
mans; for confiscation Of the kaiser's
personal fortune and retention by the
victors of both the war and merchant
marine fleets OF Germany.
