By the mountain stands October, Like a weaver brown and old; For his warp he uses sunbeams Threads of palpitating gold; ' And the loom spread out befoie him Is the forest dim and gregn, While his shuttle plying swiftly Is the wind of autumn keen. For his woof he chooses colors Amethyst and purple lost In the blue of smoke and shadows, In the gray of early frost; Vivid carmine, saffron, ambe:; Faded tints the summer left; Mauve and lilac softly blended All these from October's weft. ' All day long I hear the music Of his shuttle and his loom; All day long I watch him weaving Till the stars begin to bloom. And the figures on his fabric. As each day they brighter grow, Seem the forms and flowe'r-like faces Of the Junes I used to know. Alice E. Allen, in Lippincott's.

There should be no north, no south, east orvwest and no sectional feeling should exist. At the front they don't ask what sectidn of the country a soldier comes from. The boys are all Just Americans and that is the way it should be over here. All of us just plain Americans. "If I had my way about ft," Dr. Tra vis concluded, "none " of the Germans taken . captive would, be sent-. back across the Rhine until 'every bit of the devastated country in France and Bel gium had been restored: I would keep those German, prisoners and make Jthem work, to replace as ; much as "possible the damage caused by -the - German irmv." i - The Sunrise of.

Kelly, who is proud to hail from the good old town of Wilmington, has been enjoying the very exciting life at the front in France, together with his battery, the Sth anti-aircraft, which, as is well re membered by many, left the fort one sunshiny Sunday early in the spring amid joyous shouts from the boys and thrilling music by the fort band. "Bill" writes to friends in the city thus: "We have had some very exciting exper iences that most of us will never for get. We have been through many vil lages and towns that have been oc cupied by the Germans, and while at. the front we were quartered in an old deserted house that had received a puncture or two by the Boche shells, none of which were delivered, though, while we occupied the rrbuse. Quite a few. did drop pretty close on a number of occasions and we had a good chance" to see how they acted. We are now lo cated a good ways back, away up in the hills of hilly France, and there is some of the prettiest scenery imagin able surrounding us. We are jetting good food and have a fine place to sleep, so what more could we wish for? From the looks of things over here now I don't think it will be so very long be fore we are back in good old "Etats Unis.' The Boche is surely on the run now, and I for one hope he will forget to stop." 1 Mechanic Harry Craft, 434th Depot Company, arrived yesterday to spend a day or two with his parents at Wrightsville Sound.
