THE RETURNING ARMIES

We believe our armies will return and be reabsorbed into civil life as they were in the years following 1865
 To believe anything else is to ex press doubt as to our capacity for government and either the efficiency or integrity of those controlling our oppressive forces.
 Of course, digging back into his tory one can find confirmatory evi dence that soldiers are fearsome be. ings. Wat Tyler, rogue dnd r5bber of Kent" leader of the peasant re. volt, had been a soldier in the French war" says the chronicler, and Jack Cade. father of the rebel lion bearing his name. after commit. ting murder, fled and served in the French wars"
 These incidents may serve to re- mind some judges and magistrates today that the army resented prison CTS at the bar being offered freedom if they would enlist.
 We are not blind to possibilities, but believe few lawless soldiers will be found. They will be too eager to get back to home, family and employ ment.-New York Telegram.

FLYER TOLD OF HIS WOUND

Lieut.. Arthur Ellison, former stu dent at the University of Kansas, told this story last night along with other "reminiscences of his four months service on the western front, where he was pilot of British Sop wich fighting plane.
 "The best joke of the squadron" !" he said, was the time one of our boys-a fighting pilot from Texas acted as a refere of battle between one of his fellows and a German. The two Americans started out early one morning and finally sighted a Hun when they were about five miles inside the German lines. The first American immediately engaged him in combat. and the Texan mounted to watch the scrap. We never be- lieved in following the German plan of fighting two against one.
The courier-index., 1919-02-14

About the time the fight got hot and the Texan was oblivious to everything else another Hun machine sneaked up under him and opened fire. One of the bullets came up through the seat and wounded the Texan, not severely enough, how ever. that he didn't manage to chase the German home before returning to our lines.
 We kidded the Texan a lot about his stripe and asked him if he was going to wear wound stripe. He did and a few months later an American girl in London asked where he was wounded. About 5000 feet in the air somewhere in France he said gravely. and that was all"

They Lie in France Where Lilies Bloom!

They lie in France
 Where lilies bloom;
 Those flowers pale
 That guard each tomb
 Are sainty souls
 That smiling stand
 Close by them in
 That martyred land. And muely there the long night shadows creep From quiet hills to for them who sleep, While OCT them through the dusk go silently The grieving clouds that slowly drift to sea, And lately round them mourned the Winter wind Whose voice, lamenting, sounds coldly kind, Yet in their faith those waiting hearts abide The time when turns forever that false tide. In France they lie
 Where lilies bloom.
 Those flowers fair
 For them made
 Not vainly placed
 The stand
 Within that brave
 And stricken land;
 Their honor lives
 Their love endures
 Their noble death
 The right assures For they shall have their hearts desire They who, unf1inching, braved the fire Across the fields their eyes at last shall see Through clouds and mist the hosts of victory. PERCIVAL ALLEN. in the New York Times.
