IOMIWHBU Ilf FRANCE.
Somewhere In France! Ah, not to know
Where dust and earth are dearest;
To dream of crosses, mile on mile,.
And know not which Is nearest.
Somewhere In France—where skies
are gray.
Rad stains cry each to each;
And grass gun-shattered sod Is turned
Which these hands cannot reach.
Somewhere in France! Ah, skies are
dark.
Ufa's last work Is so lowly,
And ptck'and spade are dulled by use,
Tet sis feet there are holy.
Somewhere fn France!—when stars go
out.
And dead crowd one another.
Be lies so still—always so still—
But we are not together.
Somewhere In France!—a double cross
Should mark a narrow mound;
For all that life can give—or take*—
Lies--somewhere—in her ground.

Woman’s League For
Service in Every State.
Plan for Great Work
To stimulate further the government
plan of systematizing and co-ordinat
ing the work of women in war, the
National League for Woman’s Service
In each of the forty states In which
It is organized, will place Its organ
ization at the disposal of the womans'
committee of the National Council of
Defense, of which Dr. Anne Howard
Shaw Is chairman. The pledge of
complete co-operation to the commit
tee has been made through Miss Maude
Wetmore. national chairman of the
league, who was appointed a member
of the committee. • ,
According to Miss Wetmore, who at
tended the council’s meetings for or
ganization at Washington, the league
already has taken the preliminary
steps In the mobilization of the "Wom
an Power" of the country and thecom
' mlttee In accepting the co-operation
will be spared the necessity of a rep
etition of work. With the branches In
forty states the league has been able
to bring over 2,000,000 women within
the scope of the work and more than
200 co-operation womens' organizations
Including the D. A. R., the Council of
Jewish Women, the Colonial Dames,
the Collegiate Alumnus and the Nation -
al Civic Federation.
"Inasmuch as the league already has
been In the Held four months, actively
registering women everywhere for war
service, and even extending Its work
to Nova Scotia, we have much useful
material to offer the womans' commit
tees." said Miss Wetmore. "One of the
planks In the platform of the leaguw -
Is a demand for a Woiftan Power
Board, with government sanction, to
co-ordinate and co-relate the activities
of women. The womans' committee of
the Council of National Defense Is an
emergency committee and meets the
demand at this time. The league
stands for a government board for all
time, to deal with womans’ work’ and
womans’ welfare, paid or unpaid, and
we are hoping that the outcome and
success of the present committee may
lead to the formation of such a board.
League te Work fer Power Board.
"In* the meantime, the league will
continue to work for a Womans’ Pow
er Board to provide a clearing house
for womans' work. In England the
war has brought abotit governmental
recognition of the services of the Eng
lish women and we women in this
country have It In our power to do as
much. No co-operation among the
women now can be toa complete be
cause It Is only through co-operation
that the women will be able to bring
out their best efforts. The league un
derstands the necessity of such co
operation and each State chairman has
been, Instructed to do all In her power
to further the work of the Womans*
Committee."
The activities of the league are now
urbanized into eight general depart
ments, through which women have been
trained and are being trained for the
particular kind of war service which
they have chosen. The departments of
agriculture, home economics, social and
welfare, motor drivlna, general serv
ice. wireless, canteens and commissa
riat. Under the supervision of the De
partment of Labor, a bureau of reg
istration and Information concerning
womans’ work also has been establish
ed at Washington by the league.
“The program of trained, efficient '
service on which the league is work
ing has met with great response, as 1
our registry flies show," said Miss .
Wetmore. 1 “In our work we have, been i
stressing particularly the Importance :
of sanity and practicality at this time. :
We are encouraging the members to ;
plan their services along lines most 1
necessary in their separate localities. ,
In a country of our size, the demands ]
are- so varied.” ,
The league now is established in its i
new headquarters at No. 2S7 Madison '
Avenue. The New York City and the i
State branch is located next door at
No. 252.

Valdosta Kkrra Telle Pv
Here’* one that a traveling man
vouches to be a true and correct ac
count of an incident that occurred at
Valdosta, Qa., quite recent!v:
Mystified by the tales of prosperity
trickling through from the North, Sam,
an old Valdosta negro, decided he would
try his luck In Rgmisylvanla. He left,
but In a few days* returned to his
home. He was asked why he had
"beat It back to Valdosta so quick.”
His reply was something like thi:
"Wal, boss, hit wus dls way: 1 gits
up dere an’ goes to one uv dem big
plants, as dey says, and asks de.boss
fer er job. I sees a big wall ’roun’
de place like it wus a jail, ax' dat
kinder skeers me. But, anyhow, I
asks fer a job, and de man says he
can give It ter me. He says how much
hn will give an' hit looks mighty good.
So I says I'll work. Dem he pulls out.
a card and takes down my name, my
age, where I wus born and lots *r
other thing* ’bout me.
"At de very last he asks me a
Question like dls: ‘How. about yo’ re
mains?
“ ’Whut?’ I says.
” TTo remains,’ he says, *whar. do
you want yo remhins shipped If dere
should be an explosion an’ kill you?
*' 'Dey ain’t gwine ter be no remains,’
says I ter him. ‘I’m gwine ter take
dese remains as straight back ter Val
dosta as I kin, ‘an dat’s why I'm here,
an I'm goln' ter stay.”

The gubernatorial list In the gossip -
column was^further thinned Thursday
when Sidney J. Bowie of Birmingham,
often mentioned in reports from that
city as a probable candidate for Gov
ernor. stated with much positiveness
that he will not be a candidate—not
at this time.
He has Joined Judge Denson’s class
of ex-referred-to candidates.
Mr. Bowie was in Montgomery and
called at the office of the Attorney
General on a matter of legal business.
"I feel flattered by the notice and
pleased with the free advertising that
the political reporters have given me.
but you can state with all positive
ness that I will not be a candidate
this time,” said Mr. Bowie.
When questioned about the other six
reputed candidates from Birmingham,
Mr. Bowie said not «n audible word.
Fisherman’s Deleted Yarn. ,
Many doughty followers of Isaac
Walton have paid visits to the famous
lake at Speigners, but hardly before
two such as I. Feagin Rainer and 1
“Jim” Patterson, who made the trip
Thursday.
Just before leaving the city the palrj
visited the express office and obtained]
therefrom a quantity of bait—minnowsi
and other things.
On their return to the city they
were high in their praise of the sport
at Speigners.
“Sure! They were biting line,” said
Rainer. "Before we had been up there <
thirty minutes we had landed.
