More Truth
Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
WRANGEL

WRANGEL
You often Will hear OF a name
You couldn't forget II you tried
Which clinches forever the fame
OF the gentleman whom it's ap-
piled TO.
But you'll find that the strikingest
name Of the lot.
When examined from every angle.
Is the name OF a bellgerent Russian
has got
We are speaking of Gen. wrangel.
A sibilant something there is.
Which pleasantly falls on the
ears,
In the title Of Abdul ASST
A sultan who bosses Algiers.
Ping Bodies crude name Will re-
main in your mind
When vanished is Abdal Assiz's
But Gen. Wrangers you're certain
Is 70 far I'm" more enduring than his
is.
Though Gatti-GaZzaza can claim
with absolute justice, at that
That anyone hearing his name
VIII carry IL under MS nat
Long after the present day leaders
are dead
And solved is the Bolshevik tan
gle,
You still will be toting around in
your head
The moniker. Gen. wrangel.
We still recall Gen. Legg
Who figured while In the news,
We can't forget Field Marshal Haig
For his name is suggestive OF
booze.
But Wrangel's a name that means
nothing but fight
He may not be valiant or clever,
But wei watch for his deeds with
a thrill OF delight
And his name Wei rememb Der
forever!

HOW SHIPS GET LATE MAIL
AirpIanes Used to Overtake Liners and
Drop Bags While the Vessel Is
Travelling.

Experiments have proved It entirely
practicable to deliver belated transat-
lantic mail steamers at sea by air.
planes.
The ship may have taken its depar-
ture several hours previously, yet the
flying machine, with q speed of 100
miles or more an hour, can easily catch
up with it and put the mail aboard.
A plane of the flying boat type Is
used for this purpose, and the water.
proof mail bag is held in chute on
the side of the hull. The aviator flies
over the ship and the rigging en-
tangles a long line dropped from the
plane that has grapple tails on it's end.
This line is attached to the mail bag,
which, when the grapple tails catch.
is jerlled out of its chute, falling into
the sea.
1t is then an easy matter to haul
the mail bag aboard, while the steamer
continues its uninterrupted voyage.
