WHEN SILLY GEESE" ARE
AWAY FROM HOME
BY Winifred Black

| saw her the other day on the boat
crossing the channel-the rather
pretty, rather pleasant American girl
in uniform.
We had just been trying to get a
glimpse of some American prisoners
Just out of the German camps.
We had been crowded all together
in the cold, damp waiting room and
the whisper began to go around.
Prisoners-American prisoners
our own boys, just back from Ger
many. Sick all of them, dirty and
ragged, hungry and cold.
Oh, if we could only get near them,
only speak to them, only send them
one little message!
But no, we must obey the rules
Tramp-suffle-sufhe! We stood
and held our breath and listened to
the footsteps of our boys right there
on the other side of the board and
couldn't do thing.
A gray-haired woman laid her
cheek against the wall. wonder if
some homesick, lonely boy just be-
yond the little layer felt the love and
tenderness even through the wall.
Lets sing" said some one, and so
we did
"Way Down Upon the Swanee
River" Feeble were our voices and
trembling at first, but as we went on
we gained confidence.
all the world is sad and dreary,
Everywhere l roam.
Oh, darkies, how my heart grows
weary,
Far from the old folks at home"
Although we sang it again and
again, and from the other side of the
dividing wall came faint and quiv-
ering cheer.
How Will She Help?
And the London policeman didn't
say US nay-and thought saw
something like a tear glistening on
his ruddy cheek.
The girl l noticed sang, too, very
loud and clear But there was no
tears in her eyes.
She was busy looking at a couple
of English officers who stood near
by, and her eyes were full of chal-
lenge and invitation.
On the boat / saw her talking with
the English officers, or talking to
them rather, for they led her on with
covert glances at each other over her
head.
A little later she was walking the
deck with a Belgian officer. And in
The morning when we landed, a
Frenchman in horizon blue was wait
ing for her at the gangplank.
l can just see her flirting her way
through Europe, ogling herself into
Serbia and out of Macedonia-see-
ing all around her, not the sorrow of
the heart-stricken women, not the
lonely grief of forlorn children, not
the honest-hearted inconsistencies of
our own honest hearted American
boys in khaki, but just admirers, thai
is all.
Open to Misjudgment.
And ont even real admirers at that
just supercilious, superior, criti-
cising, misunderstanding imitation of
admirers,
For European men don't under
stand the American girls innocent
filtration"
When a girl makes eyes in Eu-
rope she belongs to just one certain
class. You cannot convince the clev-
crest Frenchman or the brightest
Belgian in the world that American
girls are different.
Poor little flirting, ogling, shallow
hearted, shallow-minded goose! |
wish she had stayed at home where
she belongs, and where people would
have set her down for just exactly
what she is, and onthing worse.
We are all so proud of our girls,
we Americans over here, l do hope
not many of the goose kind will ap-
pear,

BILL HoHENZoLLERN
By Edgar A. Guest

BY Edgar A. Guest
If he had loved the green of trees,
The drowsy hum Of summer bees,
If friends had dared TO call him Bill,
He might have been monarch still.
If he had ever stopped to play
With children at the closed of ia",
Or ridden them upon his knee,
He might not now an outcast be.
II he had ever turned aside
And dropped his dignity and PRIDE
Forgetting that he was king,
To do little neighboring
With humble men who crossed lis WY;
If he had even spent one day
In comradship-he might not now
Have hatred written on his brow
Had he loved the skies and running brooks,
And tangled woods and fishing hooks,
And learned to call the birds by name,
And fed them crumbs as they grew tame;
oh had he ever left his throne
To talk with men, he might have known
Some secrets of the human herat
And better played the monarch's part.
II home had ever meant to him
More tina ma castle, cold and grim;
If heohad tended it with care,
Planted the roses blooming there;
Had learned to laugh and romp and sing,
Been more al man and less king,
He might not now in Holland wait
The dreadfnr verdict of his fate.
That man who, porships power alone
Shall suddenly be overthrow;
Who turns away from men and God
Shall fall at last beneath the rod.
He that would seek for world success
Must tread the ways of humbleness
And find in the gentle ways and pure
The royalty that can endure

Talking about feathered creatures

feather bed story heard recently. A
friend OF mine came to this city to
spend few weeks and not caring to

paiustaking search located what she
believed TO be an ideal room in pri-
Sate family in a pretty residential sec.
ton OF the city. This room was, &C.
cording to her story, everything that
was to be desired. A soft carpet was
spread on the floor, dainty curtains
Tapped in the breeZes from number
Of windows from which pretty hills
and green grass could be seen, dainty
furniture added to the attractlveness
OF the room while large comfy chairs
were also in evidence. The next day
