Joliet, Mont, March l, 1927.

Dear Mr.. Driftwood:-
My dearest boy friend is going to
school at Missoula. He has got so
that he doesn't write oftener than two
or three times week. l hate poetry
SO ! wish you would write something
IN prose that can clip and send to
him as reminder that l am his dear
est friend,
Margaret Mckinley.
Maggie, your letter should have
been addressed to Doris Blake. It's
a tough task you set when you ask
us poets to write prose articles when
Spring is in the air, especially on
topics affecting the heart. I'll do my
BEST, and since it is prosy article |
shall entitle it with a very prosy title,
to-wit
She Awaits Your Return.
In quaint little old-fashioned town
far away, where you've friends who
are always true, and the old folks are
living the measure of years, there's a
girl who is waiting for you, and she
reads your old letters in silence and
tears, that old story-'twill ever be
new.
The time is so long since you start
ed away. many cons to her it seems,
but there's not a suspicion to fade or
decay of the hope in her eye that yet
beams, for the promise she gave is.
renewed very day, and she's with you
in all of her dreams.
She's as true to you yet as the
bright summer sun, that kisses the
dew drop at morn, and her heart fond
ly beats when they mention your name.
its ignoble aspersion she's scorn, and
she loves you, not caring for station
or fame, with no thought of the hope
that's forlorn.
All, talk Of the warriors valor who
bled on the fields where the campfires,
burn, praise the thousands Of heroes
and heroines dead, let them have al
the glory they earn, but save the best.
diadem still for the head of that girl
who awaits YOU return.

lean loans. 10 being rehabilitated.
Budgets are being balanced and cur
rencies stabilized. But, whereas the
United States is enjoying enormous
prosperity, practically oil OF Europe
still Is crushed by tremendous taxes.
with no relief in sight. 1t Is for this
reason that all European countries
concerned are convinced the present
war debt and PREPARATIONS arrange
ments cannot long continue. They
consider II merely a question OF time
before the United States. in its own
interest, will take the initiative in pro.
voking a general settlement in which
q large part of the war debts and rep
arations will simply be written Off.
The Gilbert report and the Levinson
plan are viewed as symptomatic.
Politically. while France and Great
Britain both deeply regret the Amer
lean refusal to join them in COM
mon effort to endeavor by some means
to restore order in China, 1t Is gen.
orally felt that the cooperation OF
the United States with the League
Of Nations, as now conducted, Is
adequate for more purposes.
There remains. however, one big
issue-disarmament. We say, "disarm
and peace will follow" The majority
Of Europeans, after a long study OF
this question. fear to follow this
method because of the multiplicity
Of open frontiers. Their researches
have led them to the conclusion that
the only way to disarmament is
through a series Of arbitration and
security pacts. Such pacts, Of which
Locarno may be taken as typical. are
continually under discussion. but some
interested nations are holding back
for fear Of the United States.
There Is a genuine fear that Euro
pean nations engaged in common
action against an aggressor as defined
by the league might run afoul Of
Americas conception of neutrality.
We might. they think, supply arms
to the aggressor for purely CONNER
cial reasons, and break down their
blockades in the name Of neutral
rights.
But the United States today Is 80
strong that there Is not even the pos
sibility of a European coalition which
would be willing to face trouble with
us. This Is the underlying motive
Of Foreign Minister Brands proposal
for a. treaty between France and the
United States outlawing war. 1t Is
the reason why EurOpes leading
peace advocates are trying to find
way Of persuading us to make
formal declaration that we will alb
stain from supplying any aggressor
designated under existing peace pacts
