FAILURE

What is failure? It's only a spur
To the man who receives it right,
And it makes the spirit within him
stir
TO go in once more and fight.
If you never have failed, it's an even
guess
You never have won a high success.
What is miss? It's a practice shot
Which a man must make to enter
The list of those who can hit the spot
Of the bulls eye in the center.
If you never have sent your bullet
wide,
You never have put a mark inside.
What is knock-down? A count of
ten
Which a man may take for a rest.
1t will give him a chance to come up
again
And do his particular best.
If you never have more than met
your match,
| guess you never have toed the
scratch.

White Slavers Busy in Britain,
American Consuls Have
Reason to Believe.

LONDON, April 14.-American
Consular officers in certain parts of
the United Kingdom, especially in
London, have had their suspicious
aroused in the last few days that
white slave agents are getting busy.
Efforts have been made by several
foreign-born women to go to New
York and other American ports.
The white slavers are belived to be
trying to take advantage of situa-
ton created by men of the American
service frequently leaving their fan
Gees abroad to rejoin them in Ameri-
ca to be married.
Every facility is being given these
prospective brides to cross the Allan
tic, but in some instances adven-
turesses have claimed that their fu-
ture husbands are awaiting their ar
rival. They cannot produce the
proofs demanded by the consuls and
ire unable to make the journey.
Another complicating problem in
his connection has been created by
he activities of marriage agencies
having representatives in America.
The golden opportunities and fruit
arms in California are being boosted
~ these agencies as among the re-
Yards of Anglo-American alliances.
One agency has been advertising in
he provinces that many Americans

ought the advice of American con-
uls before getting into the clutches
f the agents and have been discour-
ged from making any attempt to go

Secretary Glass explained, although
there will be other issues of govern
ment securities to finance belated
war expenses. These will not be
hoated by popular campaigns.
None of the past issues of Liberty

Loan notes, and there are no specific
provisions in the terms of the Victory
