One day last summer l was sitting
on the bench under the apple tree
at the bottom of the Golden Girls gar
den in her big back yard. No; you
don't know her; in fact, she doesn't
live in this town. She Is, indeed,
golden girl" She has a great mass
of shining deep-golden hair, that girl
and eyes of velvety brown shot
through with gold in a mixture OF
dusk and sunlight And she has
heart of gold, too. The Soldier Boy
said that, and he called her his Golden
Girl
But to begin again, at the begin
ming. One drowsy summer day l was
sitting on the bench by the wise old
Ample Tree at the bottom of the Golden
Girls Garden.
"Wis?" said Nancy, who is a cap
tain in the School Garden Army, "A
wise Apple Tree?"
Yes. 1t seemed like real grand
mother of apple trees, for 1t knew 8
very great deal about birds that nest
ed in its branches, about the bringing
UP of apples, about the ways OF chill
dren, about days Of storm and days
of sunshine, about stars and bees
about winter, that time of waiting, ant
spring, that reward of waiting whicf
never fails to come. 1t took me into
its shade lovingly, l thought, stoopini
its great arms about me, and even lay
ing a cool leaf against my face, as
.nother takes a tired little child int
her arms and lays her cool, Sikh
hand on its forehead.

JUST ED"

The following tribute, written by a

governor Of this state, will strike
responsive chord in the heart OF
every man, woman and child Of his
acquaintance in Kentucky who know
him and love him as "Just Ed"
personality Is wonderful thing
Some people believe that 1t is de-
yeloped. But 1t is an inherent quality
that comes Of nature. Some people
believe, too, that 1t Is to be counted
in terms of gain; that personality Is
thing strictly to be capitalized. They
also are in error. Those who believe
they have developed personality and
are using this supposed personality
for self-gain, soon find themselves
branded as shammers and make'De'
lleve artists. The fact is this: There
Is no such thing as developed per
sonallty. Personality is an Unborn
quality, a thing Of beauty. 1t brings
forth the best possessions OF man
It reveals him as he Is.

call him by any other name. The
very moment he stepped before me-
thrust out his warm right hand and re
leased that happy smile OF his, l felt
myself in new presence. Under
stand me, this was not In time OF cam
paign, and battles Of the ballot were
| far from my thought and his. He I'M
pressed me as a man who loved every
living creature-one OF these men you

books. He seemed to me a man who
loved everything good and right and

otherwise.
II have watched this big-hearted
Kentuckian since then, and / have
learned to know that my first impress

TO admire Ed Morrow just for the sake

 According to the Gaulois he would receive a very important command in Eastern Europe, undoubtedly the Balkans, with a view to possible op- eratlons on the Hungarian frontier and southwestern Russia.
 General J. M. c. NIalleterre, the mil dta.ry critic, in an article in the Matin, apparently ref1ecting military opinion, suggests that as a means of checking the Bolsheviki and rendering definite the victory of the Allies, Allied ar mics should march through Germany and effect 0 junction with Poland. i General MaueterTe adds that the AL lies must finish the job by c. thunder stroke, and declares that the sword of Marshal Foch IS not yet sheathed.

INFLUENZA IN
 ENGLAND AGAIN

London, March 27- Correspond ence of The Associated Press)-The return epidemic of influenza finds England so short of doctors and nurses, that, according to reports from various parts of the country, there are not enough even to give casual attention to patients. The strain on the medical men who are trying to cope with the emergency is so severe that there is danger of many of them breaking down, especially in the north of England, where the cpl demic is raging with unusual violence.
 According to a statement in the House of Commons by Winston Churchill, secretary for war, only 1,5OO of the 11,OOO doctors in the army last November have been de- T1obiIized so far, and of 23,000 nurses only 5000 have 1een released.
 Doctors emphasize the need for nurses in fighting influenza. They point cut that in a large number of cases, nurses are more required than physicians, and if more nurses were available the doctors would have the time they now lack to devote to he serious cases.

DISCUSSION ON
 FAMOUS PLAY

''Three Faces East" the most mys tified of mysterious plays, was inter estingly discussed and explained b. Rev. w. W. Rose at the Park Ave nue Temple last night when he lec~ tured under the auspices of the Sis terhood organization of the Temple. The members were offered g. treat in the pretty illustrations of the fam ous play now running in New York city. The play which deals largely with the spy system conducted by Germany and the allied countries during the war formed the intensely interesting theme of the play.
 The American girl, heroine in the play who is Q member of the United States Intelligence Bureau, and with her excellent knowledge of the Ger man language obtains knowledge of important plans from the German government, and later even succeeds in getting the greatest spy working for the German government. The play has also the necessary romance to make 1t more appealing and it fur nished an evening of interesting di- version to the members of the club.
 Following the lecture, those present enjoyed themselves at a social in the vestry rooms. Mrs. M. Shulansky, chairman of the committee arrang- ed the program.

 The proposal would apply not only to enemy countries but to nations like Russia, Mexico and Costa Rica, cne last two of which were not invited to participate in the meeting of neu- trals with representatives of the bel Hgerent nations to discuss the League of Nations.
 President Wilson's study was again the center of intense interest yester- day as he. with the premiers of Great Britain, France and Italy, resumed the efforts to settle the questions standing in the way of peace. The meetings, beginning at II o'clock in the morning. were virtu~ ally continuous throughout the day, the League of Nations commission cancelling it's afternoon meeting so as to permit President Wilson to give his undivided attention to the con- ference with the premiers. The ques- ton of indemnity was again the main stumbling block. Premier CIemen- ceau had not brought all his figures with him yesterday and wanted more time. Today he was fully equipped. Premier Lloyd George had called Ed win Samuel Montagu, secretary for India and former financial secretary of the treasury, to Paris from Lon don, and Premier Clemenceau had consulted Louis Loucheur, the French minister of reconstruction, in addition to the regular experts.
 All these financial chiefs agreed in the main with the views formulated by the American delegates concern ing Gerrnany's resources and ability to pay, but it still remained for the pren1erS to take a final decision on the total indernntties. President Will son, incidentally, expressed himself as much grat1fied at the showing made by the American financial experts along side the leading financial au- thorities of France and England
 The Adriatic issue is the most stubborn question remaining, and with no indication of a compromise upon 1t. The Italian reports of dis crder at Spalato are net confirmed by American reports direct from that place. These latter reports show the Serbs working effectively and peacefully, while the Italian admiral is reported to be arrestiug a large number of Jugo-S1avs. When the Americans tntervened the Italian re- ply, the reports state, was that the United States was not party to the secret treaty of London and there fore had no sta tus in the controversy. Such conditions as these, 1t is point ed out, are seriously hampering the solution of the Adriadc question.
