O gallant warriors of the dcepl
For as the waves about you leap
Again the vision comes to me

Strained, fearless hours of agony

That stretch today beneath the sun

And dream of broken, floating wrecks.
White, upturncd faces, and the moan
OF eddying waters as they creep
Where once splendid ensign shone
A flag gone down beneath the deep!
| cannot sense your calm, Great ships
For one there was that bore my

Yet closed forever are my lips

For ever, on mad seas breast,
A doomed ship looms before nv ewes.

A CHICAGO IDYL.

(Ncvr York Iimcs.)

1t would be asy to cnumerate nine
or ninety-nine reasons why Mr.. JAS.
NJ. Mann shouldn't be the epubican
candidate for Speaker of the next
House Of Representatives. Least and
last among them would be his hor-
rcndous conduct or want of conduct
in accepting from Chicago packer
one steak or roats, valued ut $3.50,
and one twclve-ycar old horse which
cost $3.50 in its lusty youth. That
Mr.. Mann's midst was so reminiscent
OF the flavor of that steak of roast
ten years afterwards; that Mr. Mann's
heart beat warmly in 1917 for the
packer who gave him Il working
plug" which, with polite facetious-
ness, he described in 1907 as "a mag
nlficent ANIMAL; that his words. ac-
tons, or votes, general or particular;
in regard to the packing industry
were determined or affected by that
minlmltudc of unbought steer and
horse-only those who Judge gladly to
the baser end will believe that.
Az. Mann should have had more
sensitive delicacy, but Mr.. Mann. who

Tore his nose, and i'm his district. but
ha no ample view of great principles
and causes. Even if, his standards
are not of the highest, the suggestion
that he snapped his influence on Ger
tam Legislation in constellation of one
steak or one roast and "A horse of all
work, is too much for the most glut-
tonous partisan credulity to gulp
down. a good enough Morgan, howev-
cr.
What tn anccdote teaches us is
that Mr. Mann has ceased to be for
mldable as 81 candidate and is now

story is the lest straw on the Elc-
plants back.
Yet the eclogue, the pastoral, the
essay on gardening, or whatever MIR.
Mann's apologize should be called, has
loveliness not always associated
with country life in Cook County. He
looks back to himself as Il kindly Adj

us that the steak was IA roast. al very

M6 ow that the war is over many of I'M our soldiers are home, and we SS VI are so happy and glad that we are going to try and help those French people who have been in the thick of ,1e dreadful war.
 In 1915 the American women in France and the French women who worked side by side in the hospitals realized that there were no such things as supplement try feeding for the wounded and conva- lescing the military hospitals of France allowed only milk and eggs in addition to the regular trench farel. determined to take the matter in their own hands and thus the society now called "Le Bien Etre Du Blesse' was formed. Madame Poincaire was made the honorary presi- dent and Madam La Marguise D Andigne active president, and among the well known American women who are active ly interested are Gertrude Atherton and Mrs, George Maxwell, who spent a great portion of their time in France
 These splendid women have organized diet kitchens, bought automobiles and cases of nourisinS food have been sent to the hospitals throughout that county. about 1900 were beneficiaries. The result vas most startling and so satisfactory was the work that this society now bears the distinction of being the only France "Ouevre'' asked for by the French gov.- ernment.
 All the work was done by the women of.that country. who gave their services most graciously during the dreadful struggle for. right over might" and who are now sth carrying on till the army of occupation had laid down the last bayonet and gun and returned to their homes-peaceful homes and the old order of things-and till every man has been discharged from the hospitals.
 The last week of war was the most costly by far, it is said, not even except Ing the veritable slaughter of 1914, when the allies were so unprepared in every way, but who had a glorious faith and courage in the future of their cause.
 So today the French hospitals are crowded.
 Many of the states of this country for the past year or more have been most generous to this splendid cause and so lar Alabama has done very little, having no chairman and no committees. but re- gently Mrs. J. c. Maben, Jr., has been appointed to serve in this capacity. She will be aided by the following well known women: Mrs. George Gordon Crawford, Mrs. Leonard Beecher, Mrs. John M.
