We have before remarked the discrepancy be- tween our promises and performances with respect 70 the boys who lover there" Nothing years ago was too good for them. We were going to give them farms and bonuses We were going restore the health of those whose health had been shattered. Those who had suffered permanent in- jury were going to be sumptuously cared for. And 10 that end we appointed boards and commissions and put high salaried officials in charge We bought them nice shiny desks and easy swivel chairs. We drew soldier settlement bills and going to do things right a grateful republic should do
 These bills have not been passed. These boards and commissions yet engaged in interminable quarrel concerning their overlapping conflicting powers and nothing has really done except to keep the empty and jarrng machinery running.
 The thing done differently in Canada There was not in the beginning much bombast and flag waving there But there early. quiet action and quiet it we look upon the Canadian achieve a miracle

STREET MUSIC
By Alfred Arnold

 There is music on the street; And it starts to chime and beat In your brain: The old familiar tunes With their tender lingering runes Of sorrows and of boons, Sound again. Through the list the players roam; Annie Laurie; Home, Sweet Home; Auld Lang Syne; Suwanee River; Warrior Bold; Silver Threads Among the Gold; Sweetest Story Ever Told; Baby Mine. And you listen, and you smile; And you hide tear the while, As you stand; There's a sweetness in your thought By hope and memory wrought; And you shell out-as you ought For the band.
