"REMINISCENCES OR A SOLDIER
1--WE don't know to whom credit goes
for the following. 1t has been publish
ed every where. But it bears repetit-
ion. Every ex-service man will agree
on that
II am sittin' here and thinkin'
of the things | left behind,
And l hate to put on paper
what is runnin' in my mind.
We've dug a million trenches
and cleared ten miles of ground,
A muddier place this side O. hell
l know it can't be found.
But there's still one consolation:
Gather closely while | tell,)
When we die we're bound for heaven
For we've done our hitch in hell!
We've built a hundred kitchens
For the cook to stew our beans.
we've stood million guard mounts
and cleaned the camp latrines,
We've washed billion mess kits
and peeled ten billion spuds,
We've strapped million blankets
and we've washed a million buds,
The number of parades we've done
no one can ever tell,
But wei not parade in heaven
for we've done parade in hell.
We've dug hundred pathways
to our damp and lousy hunks,
Our pompadours were matted
by the mud and ice in chunks.
We've hiked hundred million miles
and made million camps,
Froze while scrubbing o. D. pants.
and we had a million cramps.
But when our work is finished
you can bet our friends will tell:
When they died they went above.
for they've done their hitc in hell
When final taps is sounded
and we lay aside our cares
And do our last parading
right up the golden stairs,
And angels give US welcome
as the harps begin to play,
Canteen checks by millions
we will draw and spend each dav.
And then we'll hear st. Peter
shouting with a welcome veil:
Just take front seats, Oldtimers.
for you've done your hitch in hell"

REFERENDUM ON STRIKES.
Chambers Of Commerce Will Vote
on Propositions Affecting Workers.

Right of employees Of public service
corporations to strike is dealt with in
two propositions which have been sub
mitted by the Chamber OF Commerce Of
the United States to a referendum vote
of the organizations composing the
chamber.
The two recommendations, drafted by
the chambers public utilities commit
tee. were that strikes by employees of all
public service corporations performing
a service essential to the lives, health,
well being and comfort of the people
should be explicitly prohibited by law,
and that suitable tribunals should be
created by law to adjudicate differences
between such employees and their en-
ployers. decisions to be final and binding
on both parties.
The committee. commenting on the
anti-strike provisions originally in the
Cummins transportation bill. states that
these or similar provisions should be
made law. not only as to railroads, but
as to all public utilities"

SAYS GERMAN COALITION
SHOULD CONTINUE RULE
Socialist Hopes Independents Will
Abstain From Dilatory Tactics
in Reichstag.

BERLIN. June 9.-That the existing
coalition should reassume office for
the present" is the advice of the
prominent majority socialist Eduard
Bernstein. who stated to the Boersen
Courier representative that it would
then depend upon the left and right
factions whether the new reichstag
would be capable of positive legisla-
tive labor or not.
Any leaning of the coalition policy
toward the right. he considered. would
not only provoke sharpest luminosity
from the independents, but would
cause SeceSSioa in maSSed form from
the social democratic ranks. Then,
he stated. a united bourgeois govern
ment would be the only solution. out
this in turn would encounter the
greatest opposition from the centrists
and laborites.
Herr Bernstein hoped the indepen-
dents could be induced to abstain from
deliberate obstructionism. If they
could not. he said. another election
would be inevitable.

MEXICALI, Lower California, Dec.
13.--Police' Commissioner Rafael {.
Silver, of the northern district of
Lower California, will leave for Mex
leo City tomorrow morning, where he
will hold a consultation with General
Obregon pertaining to several I'M
portant matters in this district.
The commissioner when inter
viewed today by Press representa-
tive, stated that he would probably
be retained in the capital by his su-
periors in another and more import
ant position but intimated that he
would prefer to return to Lower Cal
ifornia and finish out his general
cleaning out Of undesirables.
Il am going to confer with Cen
eral Obregon and perhaps l will re-
turn within two weeks time or per-
haps ! will accept another post that
has been offered me for some time
past" said the commissioner today.
It was intimated in political circles
in MexicaG today that Commissioner
Silver had intended leaving for Mex
leo City last, month but delayed his
trip in order to celebrat the presiden-
tial inauguration in honor Of Obre-
cone in Mexicali in which he tool;
the leading part, two weeks ago. j..
Since ST., Silver was assigned to
is post in Mex;cali when Ex-Gover-
nor Cantu turned over the govern
'ment reins to lSalazar nearly four
months ago, he has made 20 import
ant raids in the opium joints, has
arrested over 100 individuals and has
o--'"ho' the state treasury with sew
eral thousands dollars collected in
fines and has cleaned out many no.
torluos dens that have wrecked the
lives Of many unfortunates.
The authorities on the American
side of the line who are doubtful Of
the commissioners return to Mexicali,
regret his departure at this time be-
,ause Sr. Silver has given his whole
cooperation in apprehending Grim
inals who have sought refuge on the
Mexican side as we'll as rid the COM
munity of the worst type of drug
users most of them, being Americans.
