A s thru the misty light beyond the deep
I see thy face, in care-releasing sleep,
Beneath the light that breaks o'er thee and me,
Lo ! at the d a w n T think of thee !
W h e n fleeting day has reached its c r o w n i n g height.
A n d all the w o r l d ' s convulsed with toil and strife,
I go apart and think of thee somewhere
In No M a n ' s Land, thine own small part to bear,
'Midst that fiercer m a e l s t r o m — w a r ' s stern decree.
Then, alone, I remember thee !
W h e n golden twilight steals across the land,
A n d o ' e r the harp of thought, its passing calm,
Tn cadence sweet, into my heart soft sreeps,
An{l o])eiis wide the cells wliere m e m ' r y sleeps,
Then, at tliis hour, my thoughts go 'cross the sea.
A h ! then, 'tis then 1 dream of thee !

Upon the hellish I'im of w a r ' s red line.

FOR FRANCE.
" S o m e w h e r e in F r a n c e " , in a small t o w n recently v a c a t e d b y the
retreating Germans, reside a boy of eighteen, J e a n A n d r e , and his
sister Marie. T h e y are orphans, their mother h a v i n g died w h e n they
were v e r y young, and their f a t h e r h a v i n g been killed on the battlefield
d u r i n g the present war.
T h e y live in a small cottage w i t h their
g r a n d f a t h e r , Pierre A n d r e . Now, as they sit in the dim t w i l i g h t conversing w i t h neighbors, w h o have come in to spend the e v e n i n g by
the fireside, all suddenly become silent as Jean speaks.
' ' I t w a s just such a night as this that the Huns came to get u s . ' '
" Y e s , " encouraged the aged Pierre, " g o on, boy, tell us all about
it a g a i n . "
" W e were just about to close up the house f o r the night w h e n
there came a loud k n o c k i n g at the door; and Marie, t h i n k i n g it w a s a
neighbor coming to call, hastened to open it. A s she did so, an officer,
a German ofificer, stepped into the room.
" ' Y o u and your brother will accompany us,' commanded the
German.
" A s I tried to edge my w a y towards the door, this beast pointed
his gun at me and said,
" ' N o t so fast, y o u n g fellow. W e need you. A n y attempt to
escape will avail you nothing. Just step into line there, both of you,
and come right along with us.'
' ' I could do nothing but o b e y ; and, f r o m the time we l e f t the house
until we reached the German headquarters, I was conscious of nothing
but M a r i e ' s hand clutching at mine. I w a s t h i n k i n g of plans to defeat
these scoundrels. F i n a l l y we reached the place and w e r e ushered
before a man in uniform, who, on my honor, Pierre, looked like the
very messenger of the devil.
His long 'mustachios', r e a c h i n g half
w a y to his ears, gave him the air of a demon of hell, w h i c h he was. I
confess, my friend, that he gave me a start which I shall never f o r g e t .
" ' Y o u have been brought here,' he said, 'upon a serious c h a r g e ;
and I tell you that the sooner you answer all questions asked of y o u to
the f u l l extent of your knowledge, the better it w i l l be f o r both you
and y o u r sister. W h e r e were vou on the niglit of October the twentvfirstr
'' ' A t home,' I answered.
" ' Y o u lie,' he said. ' W h y did you go to the home of ]\[. Robet
late that night r
" ' I w e n t nowhere that night,' I responded.
" ' W h a t did you receive while in his presence?' the officer continued.
" " ' I received nothing, as I did not leave my home that n i g h t , ' I
insisted. Y o u see, my friend, I had resolved to stick to m y story, no
matter w h a t happened.
" 'AVhere is the packet of papers y o u carried a w a y from M.
R o b e t ' s house?' he resumed.
" I d i d not answer this question.
" ' I t seems you do not intend to comply with my orders. Until
you see fit to answer, as T wish, yon will remain here, under guard. If
38

you do not answer these questions within two hours, both you and your
sister will be shot.' Turning to the guard, he said,' Search them both,
and don't overlook anything. Report to me in one-half hour.'
''The guard led us into another room and searched us. Believe
me, Pierre, my blood ran cold when I thought of the papers concealed
in my shoe. As you know, M. Robet had intrusted me with plans
which I was to carry the very next day to the commander of the front
line trenches. After he had searched Marie and found nothing, he
came towards me.
' ' 'If there is any shooting to be done,' I said, 'it is my wish that
you shoot my sister first, and then I will give you the plans.'
" 'Very well,' said the guard, ' I will leave you here while I go
and confer with the commandant; and, if he says it is all right, we will
carry out your idea.' With that he left the room.
" H e returned in about three-quarters of an hour, and led Marie
out. She was my only sister. I could hardly bear to see her g o ; but
I put aside my terror as best I could, and sat down to wait for that
fateful shot. All the while I could hear her sobbing, and I put my
fingers to my ears to shut out the sound. Every minute seemed like
an hour. Finally I heard one—twt)—three reports. My friends, I
was ready to face death by the worst tortures.
" I n a short time the guard who had taken my sister away came
back. I was afraid to look at him; I couldn't look at him. Gradually
I lifted my eyes to meet his gaze, and, as I did so, he said:
" 'Your wish has been carried out; your sister is dead.'
" T h e n something revolted within me, and I rose and faced him.
As I did, he said:
' ' ' The commandant desires to see you immediately. -Follow me.'
" B a c k into the den of that fearful monster we went. Fiercely he
turned to me.
" 'Now hand me the papers, you French dog,' he glared.
" 'Never will you get anything from me while I live. Over my
dead body you may prowl like ravens over their prey on the battlefields. I had my sister shot because I was afraid that, if I was shot
first, she would tell everything. I stared right into his eyes. My
fighting blood was up, and I felt as if I would fight the whole army of
the German Empire.'
" 'Herr Mochstadt, I order you, in the name of the Kaiser, to
shoot this man directly—here before me.'
" T h e guard drew his revolver. I closed my eyes. There was a
report—a crash. I opened my eyes, and there on the fioor lay the
commandant, the German devil, the one who had spoken my doom. I
was completely bewildered; and, as my eyes asked the question, the
guard, without a word from me, spoke, in the clearest and best French:
" ' I am JacquesXiimbain, of the French Intelligence office. Go,
boy.
Quick!
Get those plans to the trenches.
Your sister is not
dead, but is awaiting you just outside the town. Go, and God be with
you!'"

had said he would be well enough to get some game or go to the settlement nine miles away, and every day found him weaker. The thought
came to the boy now that his father might never go out again; but,
with the added "burden, he became braver. When the father had eaten
and fallen asleep, the boy was still gazing into the embers on the
hearth. Rising, he replenished the fire and then climbed resolutely
into the little loft. He reappeared quickly with a pair of snow shoes.
When he was ready to go out, he took down from a peg a rather
clumsy looking rifle and made his exit as quickly and quietly as possible, not disturbing the sleeping man.
As he sped across the snowy wastes, his heart pounded, and his
determination nearly weakened. If he should not get anything, how
could he ever meet the displeasure of le pere ? He had been forbidden
to go alone into the beast haunted solitudes of their little home, but
this had somehow seemed different.
It must have been Providence which led the lad toward the very
spot where the young moose, by this time quite worn out, was awaiting Fate. He was overcome with joy when he saw his quarry.
There was no wind.
The young fir trees, which the calf had
nearly reached, stood straight and tall and stiffly pointed from the
noiseless white levels of the snow. The calf did not know scents yet
and did not heed Nature's warning. The underbrush moved ever so
softly, and the young moose turned to behold, very near him, his
slayer.
Instinct bade him escape; but, up to his flanks in snow, the helpless creature fixed his large, luminous eyes on his small' captor in
piteous bewilderment. The instinct of the hunter was fully aroused
in the boy, and he did not see. Aiming with care at a spot low down
behind the fore shoulder, he lifted his eyes upward for the fraction of
a second; " M o n Dieu, aide-moi!" A vicious report rang out cutting
the serene silence. The shot had gone home; and, with a cough, the
moose staggered and fell forward on his knees, dead.
The boy sprang forward and eagerly examined his first prize.
There was no meat like moose-real for the father he thought happily,
and already he saw him well again.
That night the fire blazed hotly in the little cabin and a delicious
odor of frying steak filled the room while the father and boy occupied
themselves with alternate mouthfuls of the juicy meat and snatches
of animated conversation.

THE STOLEN MANUSCRIPT.
The room w a s typical of a boarding school w i t h its simple furniture scattered carelessly about. A t a small table laden w i t h books
and papers, sat Marjorie L a n s i n g with her eyes intently fixed on a
paper which she had just finished w r i t i n g .
" T h e r e ! I ' v e changed that a b i t , " she said, h e a v i n g a sigh of
relief.
Suddenly the door burst open ; and a girl, breathless and excited,
entered the room.
" M a r j o r y have you finished y o u r essay? T h e y are supposed to
l)e in at Miss G r a n d ' s office at six o 'clock, and it is half past five n o w . ' '
" Y e s , I have just finished mine, D o r o t h y ; and I can h a r d l y w a i t
to see who wins the p r i z e . "
Then together they ran off to enter their graduation essays, which
every senior of Miss G r a n d ' s boarding school w a s compelled to write.
A f e w days later, Miss Grand herself appeared before an assembly
of her pupils and made the f o l l o w i n g announcement:
" G i r l s , I have a v e r y serious matter to l a y before you to-day.
This morning while correcting the graduation essays handed in, I
found that one essay had been copied almost entirely from a story that
is in one of the magazines at my office. A s y o u k n o w , we have never
yet had a n y t h i n g like this happen b e f o r e ; and w e cannot allow it to
happen now.
If the w r i t e r of that essay w i l l report at my office
before seven this evening, the crime w i l l be f o r g i v e n upon explanation ; but if she fails to appear, her name shall be made public and she
shall f o r f e i t her d i p l o m a . "
Silence followed. E v e r y f a c e in the audience bore an anxious
look, and every one wondered w h o the unfortunate person was.
That evening soon a f t e r seven o ' c l o c k Miss Grand again called
an assembly and with a stern and expressionless face she stepped out

" G i r l s , I said before if that person failed to appear I woidd make
her name public, and she should f o r f e i t her diploma. iMarjorie Lansing, it is you whom I m e a n ; and y o u will please go to my office immediately."
The whole assembly sat anuized. E a c h girl w i t h mouth open and
astonished eyes turned to look at M a r j o r i e , who, pale and dumbfounded, rose slowly from her seat and blindly w a l k e d t o w a r d Miss
G r a n d ' s office. Think of i t ! M a r j o r i e Lansing, the idol and f a v o r i t e
of every girl in school, was accused of c o p y i n g her essay. It w a s
incredible!
A s she entered the office, dazed and stupefied with terror, she w a s
greeted by the glances of the f a c u l t y . IVIiss Grand w a s seated at her
desk, and she fixed her eyes on IMarjorie as if to penetrate her mind.
]\liss Fremont, the math, teacher, had been c r y i n g ; and the rest were
either fiushed and excited or cool and indifferent.
" M i s s Lansing, I f e a r protestations are in vain f o r y o u r guilt is
obvious.
i\Iiss Grand has the magazine w h i c h contains the article
that you have copied almost w o r d for w o r d . " It was Miss F r e m o n t ' s
kind voice which spoke this as she fixed her sympathetic eyes on Marjorie.

THE CKTiMSON A N D WTTTTE ~
" D o yon wish to say anything' concerning this matter, IMiss
L a n s i n g ? " interrupted the shrill voice of Miss Grand.
Marjorie glanced at the magazine and then turned a w a y with a
smile.
" Y e s , Miss Grand, T only wish to say that T am the author of both
the article in that magazine and of my essay. I delayed so long in
w r i t i n g my essay that I had no time to finish it. ]\Iy only means to
enter a composition was to hand in the one [ wrote f o r the m a g a z i n e . "
The faculty was stupefied. IMiss Fremont again began to cry,
and Miss Grand's face lost its harshness. F o r about half an hour
they (luestioned and re-questioned IMarjorie. Then Miss Grand once
more stepped out on the platform and recalled the bewildered girls,
iireathless with astonishment, they listened to the explanations of
Miss Grand.
Never did that assembly hall rin^ with more shouts and glee than
it did Avhen Marjorie Tjansing stepped f o r t h to receive her prize.

THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.
M i d y e a r examinations have eoine and gone. O u r marks brought
to some of us j o y , to others sorrow. Nevertheless, we all hope to do
better in our June examinations.
The change of teachers has come also. W e w e r e all sorry to see
the old ones go, but were anxious to meet our new teachers. W e hope
to like them as well as we did those of the first semester.
F . Ti., E i g h t h Grade.
A N INCIDENT.
One day, not long ago, a y o u n g man came to our house. He was
a y o u n g Armenian going to college here. ITe told us of the conditions
in A r m e n i a and Syria and asked if we would help the people in those
countries by subscribing to a magazine called " T h e C o n t i n e n t " . He
said that the T u r k s have captured A r m e n i a and S y r i a and want to get
rid of the people there, so that they can have the fertile lands to cultivate. To do this they are s t a r v i n g the people.
There is plenty of rich, fertile land f o r all of the people if the
T n r k s would only let them cultivate it. Thousands and thousands of
men, women and children are d y i n g there e v e r y d a y .
" I have not
heard from my people in three y e a r s , " he said. " W h e n I left, they
Avere well oft'. If they have escaped the T u r k s they are all r i g h t ;
otherAvise I do not k n o w w h e t h e r they are dead or a l i v e . "
The only w a y that money can be sent to them is by the Staiulard
Oil Ships. The ships t a k e it over and it is distributed secretly among
the peoi)le. If the T u r k s find that the people have money they take it
a w a y from them. The T u r k s will not let them leave the country, noiwill they allow them to cultivate the lands so as to have food. Let us
all hope that these countries will soon be delivered from the T u r k s f o r
ever.
The lu^xt S u n d a y a f t e r he called at our house, the story was told
at Sunday School to us about a k i n g who was v e r y dearly loved by his
subjects. To prove their love they all brought to him white g i f t s at
Christmas. The rich people brought ivory, beautiful cloth, and other
fine presents. The poor people brought rice or some other little token
of theii' love. H o w e v e r , all of the g i f t s were Avhite.
The superintendent of our S u n d a y School suggested that we give
a white Christmas to the A r m e n i a n s aiul Syrians. There was a little
li-ee on the platform on which, he said, we Avould hang our g i f t s tlie
next Sunday. In each class the pupils and teachers brought w h a t
nu)ney they conld; and each class put its money together in a Avhite
envelope. Then a girl or boy was selected fi'om each class to tie the
g i f t on tiie ti'ee. W e were all very proud to l)e able to help and liad
finite a collection on the next S u n d a y .

THE CURE OF A FRESHMAN.
Dixon Fassett, Cornell '15, had been warned repeatedly by the
upper classmen of B a k e r l i a l l to answer the telephone on his floor.
D i x o n was a freshman who had not y e t become accustomed to the
janitorial work which conceited sophmores expected f r o m the new
students.
One afternoon as D i x o n sat s t u d y i n g w i t h his t w o sophmore
room-mates the telephone r a n g loud and clear. D i x o n never flickered
a lash. The others waited a f e w minutes; then seeing that D i x o n did
not intend to move, they w e n t on with their lessons. When the bell
rang a second time, one of the sophmores answered the telephone.
Dixon thought to himself,
" W e l l , I guess I've t a u g h t them that I ' m no j a n i t o r f o r this
house."
That night a f t e r D i x o n had gone to bed he heard a loud t h u m p i n g •
at the door. Immediately he k n e w w h a t it meant and started to
throw on his clothes. l i e thought to himself,
" T h e y w o n ' t get me this time if I can help i t . "
F i n a l l y a head appeared in the t r a n s o m ; D i x o n shivered as he
recognized the bushy hair of Pete B r o w n , the biggest man in the
sophmore class. B u t Pete stuck in the transom, and the a t t a c k i n g
p a r t y decided t h a t they would have to break in the door.
They
w o r k e d hard f o r five minutes before the panels gave.
In the meantime Dixon, f e e l i n g v e r y clever and pleased w i t h
himself, slid down the w a t e r - p i p e — s t r a i g h t into the arms of sophmore
guards,

Three hours later he w a s a sadder and wiser boy. He had rolled
peanuts up the steepest hill in Ithaca, and taken an i n v o l u n t a r y bath
in the lake by the veterinary college. Worst of all, he had had to
paint his own face green. He had decided that freshmen should
a l w a y s answer the telephone.

CRITICISMS.
Triangle, Troy, N. Y.
Triangle is decidedly our best exchange received this month. It is
not only finished in its appearance but in its contents as well. "The
Counter Sacrifice" deserves high praise, not only the descriptions being
beautifully worked out, but the conversational parts containing universal
ease and naturalness. "The Pathos of the Unmarked Laundry" was
extremely clever and guaranteed a good laugh. The jokes were simply
"immense"—the satire on "My Rosary" receiving especial mention. The
large number of "ads" shows that some real and earnest work is being
accomplished alongfinanciallines as well as literary.
Garnet and Gray, Albany, N. Y.
We welcome our "next door neighbor" with especial interest. Your
magazine is improving with rapid strides, and we feel sure that ere long it
will reach the standard which a paper representing the size school yours
does should attain. What you have is all right and quite interesting, but
everything is so discouragingly brief. I suppose we should look for quality
and not quantity, but can't you give us a little of both? All your stories
bespeak the true spirit of '17. A poem or two would greatly increase the
literary value of the paper and give variety. Accept a goodly word of
congratulation on the splendid success of your Athletic Association.
The Lion, La Grange, Illinois.
Lion has done admirably with its last issue and merits commendation
for its completeness. The Literary Department is only fair "For Thee, O
Country!" is written with too much of the "spread-eagleism", and not
enough of logical reasoning. Your jokes and athletic department are very
good.
50
THE CRIMSON AND WHITE '
Forester, Dallas, Texas.
Yours is a very interesting paper thruout. The cuts are excellent,
and add greatly to the attractiveness of the issue. The exchanges are
cleverly written.
•
Dart, Ashtabula, Ohio.
The chief criticism we would make upon your paper is that you have
scattered the jokes promiscuously among the advertisements. This plan
detracts from the general "get-up" of the paper. Aside from this, we are
well pleased with your publication.
—•
Oneida, Preston, Idaho.
This paper could be made decidedly more attractive by publishing it
in magazine form. However, your material is good, and presented in an
attractive way. Exchange and Athletic departments are especially
completp
