THE SILENT
 TRAIL
By Ned White, Bisbee

set
 Over prairie, hill and vale They have passed and gone forever
 Down the lonely. silent trail. Oh. how we'll do I remember
 The rowing, fearless bands Seeking homes in vast waste places
 In the sun kissed western lands. can see the tired procession
 And the crafty Indian braves, Hear the warcry, see the struggle,
 See the lonely wayside graves. Oh, what thoughts of dauntleSs pa
 tients
 Do the scenes to me recall The fearless men, the noble women
 Seemingly about to fall. They are gone. the old frontiersmen,
 They have crossed the Big Divide; They have crossed the Silent River
 Gone to rest on the other side. Now we hear the tales repeated,
 Tales of valor, love and tears, More like fables or traditions
 From the shores of yesteryears. Tales of ruthless Western gunmen
 In the days that knew no law But the trusty old six shooter And who was quickest on the draw. MdlY SIOTleS, PdlhCtiN And some in comedy are told Of shattered hopes and wasted riches In the days of blood and gold. Broken hearts and lost ambitions,
 Loyal friendship, bitter hate, Tales of hardship, death and danger Of the past they now relate They are gone. the old frontiersmen, | With the cowboys of the West; They are sleeping on the mesas, 1 On the twilight shores of rest. | Come with me, my friend; we will wander back through the mists of years: we will finger by the flicker | ing camp fires; we will listen to the tales of the old frontiersmen: we will follow the rainbow as 1t fits OCT the 1 hill tops and, in passing, l will show you the graves by the wayside. where are sleeping the heroes of yesterday Only a grave by the wayside,
 Only a grass covered mound. There inscribed on the headstone This simple sentence I found Written by hands unskillful, The lines uneven and close: Gone to rest on the other side, My best friend, Adios." As I read on the time worn granite The words half plotted by years, IT think of the good oldtimers,
 The brave old pioneers. The sentence that seems so simple I By the unskilled hand written close To me it speaks in volumes
 My best friend, Adios. He was one of those kind of fel- | 1tn fo head of a homeless dog: he woult finger by the wayside to plant flow CT on an unmarked grave, yet he wa! only a gambler-this friend of mine but none blushed to call him friend !, for his, they said, was heart O gold.
 ,l He was fearless in life, He flirted with fate; , He dealt the cards fair And played the game straight; . He cared not for laurels, [ Nor cared he for fame
 Just dealt above board And played a clean game. When chances he took. s By Dame Fortune beguiled,
 He won without boosting, 3 He lost, and he smiled. 3 A man among men, | His debts were all paid. None left emptyhanded l Who asked him for aid I With a smile on his lips. g A kind word of cheer,
 He lived his own life
 Without boast, without fear.
 Somebody wrote
 On the stone meath his name:
 He was true to his friends.
 He played a clean game"

Believed Lost.

Los ANGELES, Sept. 27.-Two
men--a seaman and an electrician
are believed to be dead today as the
result Of an unexplained accident In
Los Angeles harbor when the R-6, a
new type Of submarine attached to
the Pacific fleet. sank as one, Of the
torpedo tubes suddenly opened and the
craft filled with water.
A check of the roster of the twenty
men aboard shows the two missing to
be j. Dreffen, seaman, and an cleo.
trician named Spaulsberg.
That the death list was not larger
was due. II was said. to the presence
OF mind Of one OF the crew In cutting
hawsers that bound the RS to two
other submarines. T" -
After the submarine sank, divers
worked for. hours in an effort to as
certain whether one OF the missing
men had been able to close an air
tight compartment in the RS and
shut off the water.
As soon as the accident became
known to officers on warships lying
in the harbor, they turned search
lights on the spot. and met aboard
the flagship California to decided upon
rescue plans. t.r....z
At the time of the accident members
OF the crew were getting torpedoes
ready for battle practice scheduled for
today. The men rushed for the exits.
Just as one of them. believed to have
been Spaulsberg, grasped the coming
tower ladder, there was what appear
cd to be gas explosion and the man
disappeared. ..#as .
The men who ieaped from the RS
were picked up In small boats.
The submarine is said to have sunk
IN less than two minutes from the
time the stern tube opened. The craft

KENNEBUNK, Me-, Sept. 27.--A
fourteen-year-old girl has startled
this region and the town is split
into two factions over the truth or
falsity Of the stories about the
child.
Everywhere the girl goes (she
is Florence Harriman), her father
and mother say, she is followed
by spirits, which manifest their
presence by ripping the clothes
from the girls back, by dumping
over furniture and tearing plaster
from the walls. =
That's the story. Clothes hang
ing behind closet door in the
room. the girl has slept in has been
found hanging in snreds without
the door having been opened. The
pillow slips and sheets of the bed
in which the girl sleeps have been
ripped into shreds, plaster has
fallen from the walls, the chairs
and tables have flopped when she
approaches. More than 1000 per-
sons have visited the Hartman
home since the stories Of the
spirits came out. q

government is opposed TO any discus,

nation was secured by the Interna-

II was explained in unofficial quar-

States.
British officials profess to believe
that a. majority of the members OF
President Harding's Cabinet favor con

question, but they say that they recog.
nize that popular opinion in'America
Is opposed to any movement toward
the reputation of the debts" ....
" The first formal advocacy Of in

IF there Is to be surrender OF
