nothing can stop them. The sooner
industry and labor recognize this
fact and cooperate to that emo the
sooner will. the readjustment be
completed.
Spring is coming and with the
signing of peace and final removal
Of war restrictions and regulations
OF industry business must inevitably
begin to pick up.

THREE GREAT WAR POEMS

Lieutenant Colonel John McCrea,
of the Canadian expeditionary forces
died at Boulogne, France, January
2S, 1918. His poem, "In Flanders
Fields" has been widely copied and
has been declared the greatest poem
OF the war. Inspired by a spirited
rendition of these verses at Colum-
bus, Ohio, c. G. Galbreath, the state
librarian, wrote an answer which has
also had wide circulation. This,
however, appeared before the cessa-
tion Of hostilities. On November 90.
little more than a week after tn :
signing Of the armistice, another al
swer was written by Attorney J. p.
Reed, Of Emmett, Idaho.
The three poems are printed be-
low and we are indeed glad to be
able to offer them to readers of the
Courier:

KEEP A STIFF UPPER LIP

American industries are going
through a more severe trial since
the signing Of the armistice than at
any time since the beginning of the
war.
1t takes a strong heart and a clear
vision into the future to face the
situation cheerfully
On the one hand commodity prices
dropped over night while cost OF
operation remained at the war fig
ure and demand fell to zero. Coupled
with this, heavy tax payments are
now coming due with fifth national
loan following in April. In the
meantime business has been stand
ing still pending settlement Of peace
terms.
A pessimist can paint a gloomy
picture but one can not afford to be
a pessimist now. Instead, forget for
a minute this critical period through

THE UNITED STATES REGULARS

THE UNITED STATES REGULARS
Somehow the regular army of the
United States has not received its
dues nor honor from the public that
rightly belongs to it. The drafted
army and the volunteers covered
themselves with glory and proved
better fighters than the vaunted
Prussian Guard-pampered egotists
who we're the pride of the kaiser.
Still fresh in the memory of Am
orleans is the day when, with French
morale badly shaken, German COM
manders sent the pick of those
guards for smashing drive through
the allied lines. On they came, full
OF confidence and bravery, were met
by division of our national army,
and by overwhelming numbers drove
our boys back five miles. Then came
the order from the French command
for our troops to rest where Iney
were that evening until the following
morning. But the American army
had ideas of its own. Back flashed
their reply that they had been "hu-
inflated" and that they intended to
charge at once. They did, and re-
covered not only the five miles lost,
but drove the Prussians back a total
distance Of six miles, almost ami
hilating the forces that opposed
them.
That was the American answer, an
answer and spirit that prevailed
among our troops until the signing
of the armistice.
But after "the tumult and the
shouting" has died, comes the news
from the war department that the
First American Regulars suffered
heavier losses than any other divi-
sion sent to France, and Of all the
American forces engaged in the great
world war the Second Regulars have
received the most distinguished
service" crosses. How they won
them, everyone can well imagine.
The UNITED States Regulars" are
not failure as an army. They dis
proved the assertion by some that
they are not as good fighters as the
volunteers by carrying away, accord
ing to their numbers engaged, the
lions share Of badges for gallantry
and bravery.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

BY j. P. Reed
In Flanders fields the guns are
hushed,
While earth and sky again are
flushed
With beams OF peace; in victor hands
The torch now burns, and freedom
stands
Amid the poppy blooms. The foe is
crushed
In Flanders fields.
You threw in faith the flaming brand
From dying grip to living hand
We caught 1t up and held 1t high
And swore the oath to do or de-
You know no crosses yainly stand
In Flanders fields.
The faith is kept-the oath re-
deemed;
The shell-torn earth. with chaos
scanned,
Did from the sleeping heroes gain
A priceless boon in hand and brain.
Sleep on beneath the poppy blooms
While nations bow before your
tombs
In Flanders fields.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS
BY c, B. Galbreath

BY c. B. Galbreath
IN Flanders fields the cannon boom
And fitful flashes light the gloom,
While up above, like eagles, fly
The fierce destroyers of the sky;
With stains the earth wherein you
lie
Is redder than the poppy bloom,
In Flanders fields.
Sleep on, ye brave. The shrieking
shell,
The quaking trench, the startled yell,
The fury Of the battle hell
Shall wage you not, for all is well.
Sleep peacefully, for all is we'll.
Your flaming torch ,aloft we bear,
With burning heart an oath we
swear
To keep the faith, to fight 1t
through,
To crush the foe or sleep with you
In Flanders fields.

substitutes for high-priced butter.
They pulled all the teeth out of the

ETHEL CLAYTON IN GRIPPING
PLAY At The DITMAS

Ethel Clayton hands a great sur
prise to screen lovers at the end or
her new Paramount Aircraft picture,
More Deadly Than the Male

last evening. Right up to the fnaf
fade-out, the pretty star has all the
appearances of an adventures who,
though possessing a husband. Is us
ing all her feminine charms to keep
a wealthy clubman from going on an
exciting trip to South Africa in order
that she may win him for herself. To
prove to her victim that thrilling ad-
ventures are not confined to exotic
lands, she turns her mountain camp
into a Zululand jungle, stages a dueI
between the man of her heart and
her supposed husband, and sets the
police on the formers trail with a
trumped up charge. But it's mighty
entertaining fun while 1t lasts, though
a trife grim until you learn that the
husband" is really the heroine's
brother and that the deception was
all that was needed to show the In
nocent victim that he loved his gay
deeeiver
Miss Clayton is supported by a good
cast headed by Edward Hoxen. Tho
picture was directed by Robert G Wig
nola and is a Paramount-Artcraft.
