CHRIST IN FLANDERS.

We n eaG fo'gottc" You' or very
You did not seem to touch us very
vi course our, we thought about You now
Especially in any time of trouble
we kncw that You were coed in time
But we are very ordinary men.
And there were always otaer things
TO think Of
There's lots Of things Il man has
got To think of
His N work =; his his home, his pleasure and
And c $" we only thought Of You on
some Sdn%a,,. perhaps, not even on :.
Because there's always lots to fill
ones life.
And, all the whiic, in street on lane
or by way
In country lane, or city street, or
byway-
You walked among us, and We did
not see.
Your feet were bleeding us You
walked our pavement
How did we miss Your footprints
on our pavements .
Can there be- other folk as blind
rs we?
Now we remember; over here in
Flanders
ut isn't strange to think of You in
Flandcrs)-
This hideous warfare seems to make
things clear.
We never thought about You much
in England
But now that we are far away from
England
We have no doubts, we know that
You are here.
You helped us pass the jest along
the trenches
Who're, in cold blood, we waited in
the trenches
You touched it's ribaldry and made
it fine.
You stood beside us in our pain and
weakness
We're glad to think You understand

AS our friend, H. l.. Spratt. is n
member OF the Town Council, the
much needed work on Pine Street will
no Goubt be done, as he lives on that
street. Invariably, almost, Council
men have been able to get stroot q

on which they lived, and the resident
FAMILIES on Pine Street hope now
That this long neglected street will
DO put in shape. It is argued. and
justly so, that this street and side
walk are in disgraceful condition
ana mas been so for years. and. ~,
the same time, it is pointed out this
street is a popular thorouehfare for
d. iarge number of people living on
iaze~eil avenue, besides tho fifteen
or twenty families living on Pine
otrcet. The street and sidewalk is
an eyesore, and its condition now
anu Tor years past, has been really

as well as to the residents along tho
street. '''
considering the small amount of
money necessary to put the street in
good condition, it does seem only rca-

The resolutions that were passed

GERMAN SHIPS AS TARGETS.

IF: c.. Brown in New York Times.)
We have been reading many col
umns of discussion and reports as
to the disposition of the German
fleet. The latest is to the effect that
this fleet is ii be divided up and that
England and he United States were
to sink their shares. 1t was stated
that sinking was in accordance with
Secretary Daniels views, who be-
lieved that the German boats should
go down to the tune of triumphant
music.
Why not accept our share, bring
the boats over here. and use them
as targets? | am sure that the Ger
man boats would servo for as good
targets as any, and it would GER
tainly give much satisfaction to our
".gobs" to get n few shots at one of
the .piratical Hun boats, particularly
as the Huns did not dare come out
ana give our boys the chance thew
prayed for during the war.

THAT HAZING BEE AT p. 1

The account of the hazing of young
John Fox, of Roanoke, by his fellow
students at V. p. |. is received with
regret and disappointment The V.
p. /. Institute had an unsavory repu-
tation for years on account of Just
such devltry and savagery as is now
reported. For several years back no
such reports have come from Blacks
burg, and the State congratulated it,
self and the management upon, as we
thought, the complete reformation of
the Institution in eliminating for all
time the custom of hazing. But, now
comes the disappointing announce
ment that ono of the boys has been
beaten up by his fellow students, ne
cessltating his removal to a hospital
Such rufiianism is an injury to the
reputation of this school, or any otter
school, and unless it is discontinued
wiped out entirely, the institution
will suffer q lack of patronage. No
father vii care to risk the life of his
boy in V. P. I. or any other institu
ton permitting such uncivilized
atrocities.
a complete investigation is promis-
cd, but no mere Investigation" or
even punishment of the guilty par
Ties can compensate for tho injury
to the young boy, now in Roanoke
hospital, and the sorrow and anxiety
OF his parents. The custom must be
discontinued in toto.

 All of this discussion swirls around the main point that the American woman is again settling her own affairs ip their entirety, although she Is de- lightedly taking from France the in- spiration of detail-the colorings, the fabrics, and the charm that permeates the French exhibitions.
