Faulkner, who managed the contest for the endorsement of Sen ator Heekman. made a statement be- fore the meeting adjourned in which he charged that the plan to re- move the old officers and elect new ones was carefully planned and the program worked out without know ledge Of the friends of the old off cers of the Club. Mr. Faulkner de- clares that if it had been known even only few hours before the meeting what was planned the old officers would have been sustained by substantial majority. He says the action last night was not rep resentative of Republican sentiment

TWO YEARS AGO
By Grantland Rice

Through the crowded streets where
the arc lights burn,
Or perhaps apart from the tot ing
bend,
Once in while old dreams return
Of another life in another land;
Old dreams of bugles and marching
men
Where a sergeant growls, Fall in"
again.
The world drifts by as l watch once
more
The doughboy slog through an old
French town,
With its shattered walls that are red
with gore,
Throug its muddy streets as the rain
beats down;
Their grim young faces rifle and
pack
Hiking on to the next attack.
| see them now as the chow lines form
Pal and buddy and fighting mate,
Ready again for the next DAYS storm
From the Hun barrage where the
big guns wait;
Where the mufiied roar through the
RAINING night
Has sent them word for the next DAVIS
fight.
Through st. Mihiel and the Argonne
drifts,
Waiting word for the next advance,
AS the mist rolls up and the gray foe
lifts
l can see them now in the woods of
France,
knee-deep still in the muck and mire.
Working their way through the tangl-
ed wire.
Ghosts in khaki-they linger still
AS each drifts by with the old pla-
toon,
Holding dugout on some hill
Where only machine gun bullets Groom
In the last big drive through the nav
of hell
That took Sedan as the curtain fell.
There's long trail that is winding
back
Through the battered towns with their
mud and rain,
Where the world has forgotten both
man and pack
In the older struggle for gold and
gain;
The world has forgotten-but now and
then
We dream that the bugle has blown
again
Is it only a dream when we hear
once more
The caissons rumble across the hills?
When the howitzers bark with their
ancient roar
In the life that carried a thousand
thrills?
Only a dream for the fallen mate
Who sleeps where the wooden crosses
wait.
