THE FIELDS OF THE MARINE


(From "Yanks, Book of A e. II
Verse')
The fields of the Marine are growing
green,
The river murmurS on and on:
No more the hail of mitrailleuse,
The cannon from the hills are gone.
The herder leads the sheep afield.
Where grasses grow DER broken blade
And toil-worn women till the soil
Der human mold, in sunny glade.
The splintered shell and bayonet
Are lost in crumbling village wall:
No sniper scans the rim of hills;
No sentry hears the night bird call.
From blood-wet soil and sunken
trench.
The flowers bloom in summer light;
And farther down the vale beyond.
The peasant smiles are sad, yet bright
The wounded Marine is growing green
The cash of Hun no longer smarts;
Democracy is born again,
But what about the troubled hearts!
Frank Carbaugh. Sgt, Inf.

pital, died August, 1879.

AT FARLEY, ~ NATIONS
Delegates Will Number Between
100 and I2o.

| Paris, Dec. 26.-The personnel o
the peace congress gradually is TAX
ing form, SO that the American dele
gates express the hope that the var,
GUS countries delegates will be an
nounced and the delegates arrive fol-
tn actual commencement of the ne
gotiations soon after the opening OF
the new year.
A number of the main details OF
the composition of the congress are
now fairly we'll settled as a result OF
recent conferences. These indicate
that the total membership of the
congress will be between one hun
dred and 100. Twenty-seven coun-
tries will be represented by delega-
tions, including those which declared
war and number which have come
into existence as result of the war.
The great powers, notably Great
Britain, France. the United States
and Italy, each have been allotted
five delegates, while the other dele
cations will vary from one to four
members, according to the size Of
the country and the interests in-
volved
Word has been received that the
Belgian and Portuguese delegations
soon will join the representatives OF
the United States, who thus far are
the only members of the peace con-
gress to arrive. The non-arrival OF
the others has been the subject OF
considerable surprise and adverse
comment, the Americans taking the
ground that they are here ready to
proceed TO business, but with the
personnel of the congress not yet an
nounced. 1t is understood that Pres
ident Wilson's visit to England is
likely to result in conveying quite
definitely the view that it is high
ly desirable that the congress should |
be put into motion with the least |
possible delay.
The foreign delegations comprise
those of virtually all of the European
countries which have taken part in
The war except Rumania and the four
enemy countries, whose delegates
nave not yet been announced. China
will be represented by one person,
probably the ambassador to France.
Siam and Cuba and a number of
South and Central American repub-
les have not been heard from.
On the whole the lists, though un-
official and subject to change, indi
ate that the delegations have been
'irtually formed and that they soon
will be in position to take up the
york of the congress.

AMERICAN SHIPS SOON
TO STEAM UP RHINE
Health of q. S. Soldiers in France
Is Excellent and Morale Is
at High Point.

PARIS. Thursday. February g.
Tmerican ships will soon steam up
the Rhine. using Rotterdam as a
base, according to information made
public here today.
1t is announced that the transport
of Americans to their homes is pro-
crossing as rapidly as possible and
that during February the number of
men to be taken to America would
be considerably augmented.
The health of the American SOL
diers in France is excellent and their
morale is of the highest. They show
willingness to re-enter the fray if
occasion demands. there being feel
ing, apparently. that the war ended
too soon for some of the more ad-
venturous ones, although all are con-
tent to accept the situation.
The number of cases of influenza
among the troops is negligible. The
excellent physical standards set by
the American Army guaranteed the
men against disagreeable effects from
the climate and the kardships of cam
paign.

DIPLOMAT JEWELS
MISSING FROM HOTEL
Gems Worth $10,300 and Other
Property Reported Taken From
Serbian Minister'S Room.

JeweIry valued at s10S00, Greek,
English and United States coins and
quantity of gold and silver, property
of SIavko Y. Grouitch, minister from
Serbia, is reported missing from the
minister's room in the Shoreham
Hotel.
The valuables We're taken from a
box in suit case in the diplomat S
room last night. according to re-
.,ort made TO the police today
Loss of the jewelty was discovered
this morning when the diplomat and
his wife were preparing to go to Phila
Gelphia and to move their belongings TO
1900 18th street. a house they recently
leased.
Examination of the effects in the
room disclosed the broken jewel box
in one of the family trunks. When or
how it happened to be placed in the
trunk is a question the police are try
ing to solve.
1t is believed by the police that the
robbery was committed by a person
familiar with the interior of the hotel,
and that the box was secreted in the
trunk to delay discovery of the rob
berry. Police of other cities have been
asked to assist in the investigation.
Minister Grouitch went to / niladel-
phia today to attend a banquet to-
night. His wife remained when. she
learned of the disappearance of her
valuabies.
