BELGIUM.
(Examiner Special Feature Service, by David Star Jordan.)
Land of long days of happiness,
Of pale gray skies and windmills tall
Wide is the world, and thou are small,
But yet we love there none the less.
Land of sweet bells and faith serene,
Of solemn sunset calls to prayer
Brooding above the darkened air
(But sweet bells jangle at Malines).
By fair Liege, whose storied dead
Sleep in her great cathedral's nave,
The Meuse rolls on with glittering wave
(Lo! her green current turns to' red).
At Bruges the belfry tells his tale
Of days when ugliness was crime,
And bids us hark the ancient chime
' (I only hear a child's low wail).
Namur o'erlooks fair lands outspread
Where hamlets of Brabant are seen.
Standing knee-deep in meadows green
(Soft 'tis a new-made grave you tread).
At Ghent the great bell Roland tolls
Where through six centuries long the tower,
, Has summoned freemen to their hour
(It mourns a thousand passing souls).
And old Louvain, Louvain the wise,
Hugs to her breast the precious store " f
Foregathered of our ancient lore
(But hungry flames fill all her skies):
And Ostend, by the gray North sea, ; ,
Dreams of her ancient hardihood;
(A sea more grim, of steel and blood,
Surges behind her ceaselessly).
Howe'er the tide of battle roll,
There bides what none can burn or raze ,
The Flemiss spirit of old days,
The Ageless freedom of the joul. ' "
:"r
Land of long days of frightfulness, . ...
For faith and honor crucified,
Though thou are small, the earth is wide,
We still shall love the none the less.
The Unspeakable Bolsheviki In Russia, the Bolshevi
ki fanatics are not losing any opportunity to confiscate
wealth and cripple the industries of the nation. They have
found the banks to be rich picking and the mines are com
ing in for their rapacious attention.
This confiscated wealth, theoretically, is to be placed
to the credit of the government, if the present controlling
regime can be properly termed a government. But most
betting men might be willing to wager that the leaders now
dominating the situation are heavily lining their own pock
ets with gold, and when the clouds have cleared, and the
respectable element again gains control, will be found well
up in the. ranks of the plutocrats, with roubles "to throw to
the birds."
Under present conditions in Russia, culture, intelli
gence and capacity have been cast into the ash heap, and a
low-browed horde, seemingly with the mental -equipment oi
gorillas, is in the ascendency. The world cannot but feel
sorry for the educated and refined people among the Rus
sians who are obliged to bow to the mandates of the coarse-
fibre Bolsheviki.
At Camp Lewis boxing classes are conducted by Willis
Ritchie, former light-weight champion, assisted by 472 as
sistant instructors whom he has developed within the last
few months. Each of the assistants is conducting a class oi
from 50 to 75 men.
The government has placed special emphasis on the
need of intensive training of soldiers in boxing. The posi
tion of the boxer in the ring is virtually the same as the sol
dier on a bayonet charge. This fact has been brought out
by some official government motion pictures prepared for
the camps. The division will hold soon its boxing champion
ships tournament.
Wrestling is conducted under the direction of Corporal
Lloyd E. Ireland of Brainerd, Minn., who won the feather
weight championship under the name of Kid Irish. Wrest
ling has proved popular among the officers as well as the
men and there are several classes of officers. It is planned
to hold a tournament soon in which the professional wrest
lers will compete in one class and ithe novices in another.
CHILD'S PRAYER.
NTow I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord ray soul to keep.
God bless my brother gone to war,
A.cross the seas, in France so far.
3h, may he fight for liberty,
Save millions more than little me
Prom cruel fates or ruthless blast,
-nd bring him safely home at last.

THE FLAGMAN ON DUTY.
The flagman at the crossing
To protect the lives of all;
He does not discriminate,
Let them be great or small.
I have seen him lead the cripple,
The aged the blind the small;
To keep them from danger,
For fear that they might fall.
He's in all kinds of weather,
The dust, the rain, the sun;
He's there to protect the people,
To keep from harm each one.
And well he does his duty,
From morn, till late at night;
Protecting your little children,
From danger and from fright.
I love to see his dear old form,
As he waves his red and green;
A signal to all the people,
A warning you have seen.
The flagman at the crossing,
Is always at his post;
I hope the time may never come,
When we say adose.
I hope, when time, for passing,
In thru the Golden Gate;
He may pass us over safely,
Before it is too late.

UPSON COMING PUBLICITY
MAN IN THRIFT 11
(Arizona Republican.)
James G. Simpson was appointed
yesterday to the state chairmanship
on publicity of the Arizona war sav
ing stamps committee, succeeding
obert A. Kirk, who recently tendered
his resignation because business af
fairs took him to much from town i
could not keep well in touch with the
daily developments at the state head
quarters.
In selecting Simpson; for the office.
State Director Harry R Tritle felt
that it was better to place the work
n the hands of man actively engaged
in newspaper work and familiar, with
he newspapers of the state. t
For several years Simpson has beer
member of the news force of the
Arizona Republican and has made a
wide acquaintance thruout the state.
3e expects to issue an early appeal t
he publismhers and editors of th
newspapers of Arizona for more hear
ty .co-operation in the work of the war
savings committee, it is apparen'
that, with a few exceptions, the news
papers of Arizona have not been giv
ing a great deal of publicity to this
work and it is believed that one ot
the causes for this apparent indiffer
ence is the lack of copy or of informa
tion with which to produce copy.
Not only will Simpson urge upon
the newspapermen of Arizona the nec
essity of more publicity, but he wil1
call upon the chairmen of the various
county committees for assistance in
reaching editors personally. j
Copy will be furnished these chair
men with the request that they see
to it that it reaches the papers and
then follow this up in -seeing that it
is published.
State Director Tritle, Publicity
Chairman Simpson, County Chairman
J. C. Dobbins, Chairman on Speakers
Gene Cunningham, Judge W. S. Bar
num, Capt. Thomas F. Rynning and
others will constitute the party leav
ing here tomorrow morning for Yu
ma to assist in putting Yuma "over
the top" on Saturday, when the Colo
rado river town holds Its Thrlf.t 'Day
celebration.
A stop will be made at Liberty, at 11
o'clock and a meeting called for that
hour will be addressed by members of
the party.
Luncheon will be had at Buckeye
and a meeting: held there aO 1:30
o'clock. Ther.e will also be meetings
at Palo Verde and Arlington. The
nigftt will be spent at Agua Caliente
and the trip to Yuma resumed -the -fol-
owing morning. Saturday will be
spent in Yuma and a side trip will
probably be made to Ajo that ..night,
the members of the party planning to
reach Phoenix late Sunday after
noon.
Yuma has sent assurance that she
is going to do her bit on that day.
Governor Cantu's band is expected to
be in Yuma that day to furnish .music
and President Von KletnSmid of the
University of Arizona has been select
ed as the speaker of the day.
