Reports that the Bulgarian army
was secretly mobilizing have been
received in this country several
times during the past three months.
The purpose of the mobilization was
never explained. The reported move

the peace terms as anticipated in
Bulgaria. The Bulgarian treaty has

ACTION AND IDEALS.


Roses will bloom for him who cares to toll,
Men cannot gather blossoms from afar !;
Who longs for flowers must struggle with
the soil
We cannot sit contentedly and dream,
Our thoughts must be recorded i'll our
deeds;
Unlighted candles never cast a CLEAN.
Unguarded gardens quickly run to weeds
The buried talent was a talent lost,
The wish for beauty In itself is vain
Unless for beauty we will pay the cost
The ugliness and horror will remain,
Who longs to see the dew-kissed roses
Must brave the sun and fight the stub
Must bend his back and labor with the
And light with weeds and insects day
by day.
Lost is the truth for which men will not
Vain IS the dream for which men will not
dare.
'Tis not enough to know and love the
All that is good needs mans protecting
care
We must be strong and vigilant and brave,
Hardworking, patient and determined
We cannot by our dreams our freedom
The tyrant weeds are quick to grow
again.
In action must our purposes be told,
In deeds Of glory we must write our
views;
Must grid with might the visions that we
hold,
Or all our sons have fought for we shall
lose,
Roses will bloom for him who cares to toll
Who fights the weeds and insects day by
day,
And We, within whose care, is freedom
soil
Must keep the weeds of anarchy away,
