OUT IN THE FIELDS
•
The little cares that fretted me,
I lost them yesterday
Among the fields above the sea,
Among the winds at play,
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees,
Among the singing of the birds,
The humming of the bees.
The fooling fears of what might be,
I cast them all away
Among the clover scented grass.
Among the new mown hay;
Among the hushing of the corn
Where the drowsy poppies nod,
Where ill thoughts die and good are bom,
Out in the fields with God.
. —Charles M. Berkheimer.

THE DEMAND FOR MORE
WARFARE
The demand in Great Britain and
France for a more energetic prose
cution of the war is dangerous. It il
lustrates, perhaps, the ignorance of
the critics who do not seem to under
stand the difficulties that the democ
racies face in the present struggle.
Competent critics have expressed
the belief that Germany is maintain
ing its superior aerial position and
there has not been enough lighting
to deplete the material reserves that
Hitler has prepared for the war.
Against this position is the belief
tiiat Hitler did not want a general
war over the Polish affair and that
his military experts warned him that
Germany could not stand a long war.
Just now it is impossible to know
wbat is the truth. Five or ten years
after the "war ends we will be able to
