MORE LIKE IT.

Secretary Hughes perhaps did not tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" when he said yesterday that "It was America, the exemplar of free institutions, aiding humanity in their preservation, that called for the supreme endeavor," in speaking of the war.
 But certainly MT. Hughes came pretty near the truth when he added, speaking of our fighting men: "Our men did not go forth to fight for this nation as one of imperialistic designs and cunning purpose, or to protect a land where avarice might find its re- ward. They offered their lives =. because we love the institu- tions of liberty and intended to maintain them because we hated tyranny and brutality and ruthlessness -
 There is no question but that the very practical, vital necessity for our entering the war was seen at Washing ton. Equally certain is it that there WSIo AlbH lae"IS AAiNiS' 'O0' ~ To SA NS that many men fought because they had to fight, whether or not they felt any of the lofty sentiments expressed by Secretary Hughes.
 But the great fact-the fact that al- ways will be remembered here in our own country and across the water among those who fought with us, is that the spirit which pervaded our army was the unselfsh spirit of which we may be proud--the spirit which brings every real man into the fight for decency anc

SAILING HOME

Down where the lilac laden South Brings kisses to milady's mouth,
 Across the moonlit foam, Where breezes fan the perfumed air, And breathe caresses on her hair,
 The ships are sailing home. The sailor-men who rove and ride Around the world, before the tide,
 Beneath the endless dome. Are weary of the fever'd chase And so, to find a resting place,
 The ships are sailing home. On shore the candle lights a-gleam Are dancing with a joyous beam
 To welcome those who roam; And one there is who waits for me, Who prays each night that she ma.
 see
 My ship come sailing home. Out on the deck, up by the prov l hear her gentle sigh. somehow,
 From off the lonely loam. And, guided by the evening star, Into the Port O Dreams, afar,
 My ship goes sailing home.
