Pershing's Wise Choice.

his military popularity The Herald took the position that
General Pershing might prefer rank with other
worldfamous generals and not permit himself to be
plunged into the uncertainties of political SEAS with the
than unblemished military fame
We held then, and hold now, that man who has
given his life to the study of military tactics strate

might DIM rather than add to- the uster of his fame
seen by future historians and that General Pershng
might entertain similar views not take the chance

politicians
1t is refreshing find in his reply to the overtures
of pretending friends the patriotic words above quoted
which if he continues to adhere the end and his whole
career juses the belief that he will do So and cements
the conviction that there will be no deviation from this

TO ONE WEARING A GOLD STAR.

w HAT can say to you? 1 hide my joy
AS though it were a crime; would not be
So cruel as to flash the jewel light
OF this my rapture on the saddened sight
OF your poor, tear-dmmed eyes.
To me, Peace means
Blissful renewal of a love that lives,
Made dearer stronger, by the memories
Of absence, and by faith now justified;
But you
To you it means-a Golden Star;
Eternal silence of the we-loved voice:
A shadowy Presence lowering in the home
That once his and yours, to break your heart
With longing, and to salt your bread with tears.
What can say to you? There is no way
For Rapture to communicate with Grief;
Have-and you Have Not; and that is all!
How you bear the tumult and acclaim
When come the Great Gray Ships from overseas
Bringing his comrades to their waiting homes?
Has Heaven any solace for your soul?
And yet, wearer of the Golden Star
Mayhap you have peace I do not know;
For you the worst is over; grief and pain
Can never never touch you any more;
You have been made immune to misery;
For you the Future is no dimly yelled
Dark Sibyl, who may proffet you the Cup
OF Trembng-you have drained the chace now;
You know the calm that goes with certude
While am wary in my happiness,
And every hope is guarded by fear!

We not, then, SO alien as dreamed;
My passionate sympathy has made wise
And you and may meet on common ground -
You have your Past; my Future waits for me!

 Thousands of Dollars.

"The creation of non-rigid interna- tional machinery by which a council, by exerting influence toward concilia- ton, may work, will be the main strength of future peace makers" he said.
