More tlian seven nionihs wwv dcxMtcd to tlie task nf ..htainin-- the photographs and records. A lon^i-r time nii^ht have lieen pnt nimn tin/ work, under ditTercnt conditions. iUit hickin- jmhlic financial assistance, save the small and nncertain revenne expected fr. mi the sales of the hook, sales not to soldiers hut to the -eneral hook l)uy<.T in the county, expediency demanded that the nianuscriiH l)e sent to the printer before Christmas, 1919. The Hardin Tribune ran many advertisements during the seven months mentioned, and the editor made speeches, wrote letters and interviewed par- lies energetically during the same period. In spite of this proiKiganda, not all the material belonging by right in the book was obtained. However, men- lion at least has been made of every man whom it is known entered the ser- vice from Big Horn County. At first it was considered necessary to carry advertisements in this history, if a serious loss were not to be invited; but the publisher and editor finally decided to take whatever financi.al risk there mi.gh: be, rather than gi\e the work a commercial as])ect. A few pages have been left l)lank in the \-iilume to accommodate the soldier or other "candidate for .t^hiry" who ne.L;lected \.>> answer the call fur photo and record. The person ])asscd nvcv may consider this open section an invitation to paste up his picture and history among the others. There will proliably be some errors in the te.xt. since practically all in- formation had to be obtained indirectly (owing to the candidates" nKjdcsty, usually) ; but it is thought these will not be marked. A few boys are found in the book who. strictly speaking, do not ■'belong" to Big Horn County; but tiiey had relatives here, and did their bit, so the publisher claimed them in retui'ii for the transients enlisting from here, whom other county records have inchide, 1918, received Captain's commis- sion in the Medical Corps, at the age of 39, and was assigned to duty with the 76th Engineers, at Fort Riley, Kans.

We wuke when we desired, And slept at will; W'lien appetite was tired, Artistic whim inspired. We had our fill; We spoke the word we chdse. Or silent fell; Perhaps our schemes were tlio: Which pettiness disclose — Rut time will tell. If «e were centered then In self the most, Tlie camp will make us men Of less contracted ken. For here we're lost. If we were cowardly Of sacrifice, This discipline will be Knough to set us free l-'nim such a vice. If we were lovers theri — Of being loved. Our spirits now will dare Unhopingly to care: Good fate removed Temptation to impart That we might gain: This new love is a smart That purifies the heart. So bless the pain. If tlierc we craved tlie things Worth while, indeed. And laughed at will of kings, And chose free fancyings Before a creed, — Can sleeping in a tent That choice destroy. Or marching circumvent Our secret sweet ascent To moods of joy?

Adventure lies ahead. Come, comrade, on! The world we knew is dead: And should we find, instead. Some sunny dawn, Another, brighter yet. Somewhere, somewhere. Think you we shall regret.

The agreement which h.is bon reached between the Social- ist and Indepcn.l.iit S. .nalist Parties and the new re- gime seems to Ii.im -..(iin.l -upport from the press. In addition to llir WOllY I'.ureau, the Socialists are now represented l)y :'. ncwsp,ipt-rs, the Vorwaerts, the Lokal-.-Vnzeiger, formerly tlie Emperor's favorite newspaper and now rcchristencd the Red Flag, and the former semi-official organ, tlic North German Ga- zette, which has taken the now title of the Interna- tional.

Reveille A Story of Two Recruits. Reveille. A Story of Two Recruits. In simple meter read the simple tale Of William Gray and .Alexander Dale, Who "felt the draft"— the draft of Wilhelm's breath, And went away to challenge him and death. Had either been allowed to make a choice It must be owned he would have shunned the noise Of inighty guns and weary marching fee*. For. after all, one's life is very sweet, And love and ease more tasteful to a youth Than hard philosophy or quest of truth; More sweet, indeed, to modern-thinking men Than wreaths and halos, used since who knows when The passions of the masses to inflame, No less in cause of honor than of shame. So neither was a hero, then, to start, Down in the bottom of his civil heart, Despite the poem in the local "sheet" And all the hearty handshakes on the street, Upon the day of setting out to be .All atom in the nation's soldiery. In .\le.\ander's quota there were boys Much troubled with a longing to rejoice — One last rejoicing, they agreed, before Their Uncle Sammy locked the swinging door. In Billy's crowd the same desire was felt And quite a similar aroma smelt, But William watched the cactus and the sand Fly past, and did not wish to take a "hand." "We're into it." said .\lcx to the rest, "So damn it. fellows, let us do our best!" The others nodded so agreeably That Alc.x then retold his history: "Yes, sir, I blew it — house and car and all As soon as I was sure about the call; I figured I would have what fun I could — And, boys, I bet the life will do us good." The game progressed, and fanned by words of praise The speaker's pride assumed the fighting phase. He cursed all enemies, and swore that he Would send the Fritzes to Eternity. And let no one suppose he meant it not. Especially when his courage bubbled hot; Nay, even when he went to bed that night He clenched his fists and dreamed he had a fight. Not so with Billy Gray from Arkansas. Poor Billy marveled at the mighty law That so relentlessly tore homes apart, And no less ruthlessly the aching heart. He did not wander, in his upper berth, O'er pleasant meni'ry-paths, but saw the earth In flames of fire, extinguished by the tears Of all the women of the countless years. And then he heard his sweetheart say good-by. And wondered if a soldier ought to cry. They met on "Angel Island," so renowned, Where non-commissioned persons so abound. And so efficiently the "rookies" hound Who gaze and stand and stand and gaze around The wind of soldier's-fortune from the bay Came swirling up the dusty canvas way, That stony, hot and chilly avenue. And in a common tent the heroes blew. The sergeant with an oath had made it clear That one must be most sanitary here. And so the Arkansawyer meekly said. When Alex took a can of snuff to bed: "I guess we spilled some water on the floor." At which the other laughed and spat some more. "Cheer up there, kid, the army ain't so bad." But in the corner lay a silent lad. Pray, list, good reader of heroic deeds. And lover more of action than of creeds: If you would choose a thrill from out the rest. Select not that which courses through the breast Of hardened soldier on the firing line, But one that plays upon the shapeless spine Of some homesick recruit who wakes at mor.i To sound of bugle (called by him a "horn.") For then is Alexander, howe'er Great, Like timid William struggling with his fate, bach conqu'ring in his own peculiar way: One curses and the other tries to pray. The days went by, as e'en in uniform They must, with spells of calm and fits of storm. With hopes and fears and games and many lies. And weariness and "chow" and scorching skies. .\ nicinth had made a mighty change in Will, In fact the boys had pleased to call him Hill; A change, that is to say, that one could see: Down in his shoes he knew that he was he. In Ak-xaiu!cr, too, the training sliowed: lie needed now no longer other goad To gallantry, than leather-legged salute Acknowledging his own well-polished boot. He spoke about "the chevron" with a puff Of lung-familiar smoke that said enough To indicate the trend of his desire; Mad even called a corporal a liar. At drill the doughty Dale was rarely caught In dreams, and Billy Gray was rarely not, i'.ut Billy tried, and his instructors knew. And many a comrade's whispers pulled him through. 'Twas Alexander's custom not to rise Until the trumpet notes had hit the skies, And then to sway the tent-pole in his speed- But never once missed reveille, indeed; No more did Alex miss the passing stew, Or coffee — or whatever was the brew — The -'spinning wheel," the "grudge-ring," or a bet. Or briefest chance to liglit a cigarette. At first, in thoughtful moments, on his bunk. He had a sense as though of being drunk On some strange subtle liquor of the blood — But little of such things he understood. •■()],, h :" he would impatiently exclaim, '•rm in tlic (this is not verbatim) game!" .•\nd naturally he was not many times The victor thus of faint, soul-echoing chimes Of Something Better, till he learned to sleep Upon an oath, quite comfortably deep. Then followed self-made liking of the life. Of course; not of the meaning of the strife. But satisfaction in the physical, The redd'ning blood, the blare, the dust and all. The change external in the younger man Was that which goes with quickened step, and tan; A very close observer might have caught A smile at times when days were very hot And some one fainted, then put on a face. Recovering, that asked for holidays. An incident or two like this had shown The .Xrkansawyer that he stood alone Before his self-respect, and he resolved The puzzle of his soul could not be solved In coward tricks, however they might tempt: Before his conscience he was not "exempt." Indeed, so firmly did he grasp the fact That he allowed the milling to exact An unjust tribute from his narrow frame And suffered needless mis'ry for the same. But through his resolution, strengthening, He sometimes thought he caught a glimmering Of light, far on the foggy way before. And so in time he wished for home no more. Let no good patriot suppose that now The tale is twisted sharply to allow A sweep of hackneyed sword-adventure brave. Wherein the youth goes forth in war to save The mighty Dale. A keener fight is seen Ofttimes upon that more elusive screen, The mind, than in a panoramic view From aeroplane that cuts tlie Flemish blue. If William Gray had come to find content, In measure, in his boisterous cantonment. And leave home-visions to the midnight dream, Where bugle turns to cow-horn, and the scream Of eagle to the fluting call of dove — The "rain-crow," bird of boyhood and of love — It was with no illusion such as those Which gave old Dale a horizontal nose, But light that came from hope — that hope which pride Of manhood had inserted in his hide. About the time of his last "fever sliot" — A spirit-vaccine, with strange power fraught — When he perceived how men would whine and die! To save their precious lives — where all must If Billy gave up thinking of the chance That might impede his soldierly advance, Or cast him back upon the southern farm. It was not that the thought had lost its charm, But he discovered strength in fighting pain Of heart, and in the tasks that seemed so vain, Though what it was he never could have told, Despite the myst'ry almost would unfold Sometimes in silent moments of the night When he would wake and wnuder what was right. Perhaps the thing that held him most of all To grim adherence to his coimtry's call Was not the wish a patriot to be. But just a man who stood unflinchingly Before a task where other men must stand. His brothers, made like him, in heart and hand. No more enamored than himself of strife. But the longing to enjoy the peaceful life. The pe iceful life — how much it occupied His mind, since now his metal had been tried: The lazv bodv and the selfish soul, The rotting pastime and the petty goal ! He saw the change in men about him now Who'd never had to answer Why or How, Who never had been forced a foot beyond Their %vishes, and for whom had never dawned A day of weariness for others' salce, Of pang iinsoothed, of thirst with naught to slake. He did not think perhaps in plirase like this, But such the substance was: in one may miss The college, and the city's life of stress, And know the way of mortals none the less. A camp expression Ale.x favored much Was quite condemnatory of the "Dutch," But choice he gave to one that signified A man would get "hard-boiled" before he died. And in the ring where self-defense was taught The phrase went round like Billy's head when aught Occurred to ta.x the little fellow's strength. And stretch him out, perchance, his sorry- length. But Billy never seemed to comprehend That this hard-boiling process was the end Of one's apprenticeship in such a school, Or if it were then he was but a fool. As were all others who declared for peace Eventual. Let warfare never cease If manhood only thus could be attained .And earth's oppressed safeguarded or sus- tained. .'\nd liere was where the sadness came to him. Despite all efTorts to maintain his vim: The men like Alex r:ipidly progressed. For who could hate the most could fight the best, (So the instructors said) and who could curse The baby-killing Huns in speeches terse With words most bitter gained the general praise; Were counted on their squads' "morale" to raise. It seemed to Billy, as he thought of it, (The while mechanically he packed his kit). These men were taking with them to the Cause Their pet infirmities, their human flaws, Which never could fit in, though victory Of force might come from all the misery: Since what had so descended from above In flame of fire, must surely be of lovo And not of hate, despite the seeming liell. If righteousness were done all would be well Some day; but if to hate were added hate The lesson of the war had come too late To usher in a dispensation new, Which one at times beheld, the vapors through. ■'I cannot see it yet," the youngster said, With mutt'ring lips, unto himself, in bed; "I cannot see it in the comrades here: Perhaps 'twill come next year — perhaps next year."

For in a dream he'd seen the truth at last. And to its tragedy and sorrow vast Was fain forevermore to close his eyes. And so to reveille he didn't rise. They sent his body down to Arkansas, And there was war-insurance now for Pa, But Ma was standing to that Reveille Where mothers wait, in Time's Uncertainty. A year went by and Alex came again. A trifle battle-scarred, but in the main As good a talker as in days of yore. With add d phrases gathered from the war. His friends received him with a welcumc shi>ut. And even old-time enemies turned out. A while his tales and his renown sufficed To liold the town. Six months, and they en- ticed A little less perhaps than at the first, For fame, like bubbles, easily may burst, Especially fame like Alexander Dale's, A year, and other heroes were in town; Five years and Alex was but little known. The schoolgirls now were marrying, and boys Were men, who scarce recalled the mighty Noise. Ten years and Dale was just a conimnn niaii Among the millions.

When Reveille has sounded for us all.
