an advertisement stating that a “returned soldier" so niriny months in France, "desired a position as time- keeper, checker, shipper or any position of trust.” Mr, Charles Robinson, Secretary of the Returned Soldiers’ Coinniission tried to get into communication with this man but failed to do so. He intimated that lic had several applications for such men :ind could easily find a place for him. The Retugned Soldiers' Aid Com-

tions of /\nierica and Germany are strained to the lii'cal<iiig point, the uncertainties of the l\‘lexicaii si- tuation add to the anxieties. \i\f'hat will develop out of the I\lexican dif`t”i<.‘iilty is :is niucli a niatter of doubt and speculation as is the outcome of the submarine coiitroversy. Slirewd observers suspect that 'I`ciito- iiic influences are being exerted in ‘Mexico in :iii ef- fort to bring about a war which will force a curtail- nient of Anierican shipments to the Entenle. It will occasion few surprises if Villa and his gang take ad- vantage of the withdrawal of the American forces to commit new depredations. The presence of strong /\nierican forces on the border may prove sufticieiit to protect American interests, and if the bandits conliiic their attacks to Mexican soil thc issue iii:iy be left to Mexicans to settle. -

Contains the Most Popular Tune In

the World

The Scotch. Welsh and Irish-that

Is to say, the Celtic peoples of the British Isles-are born poets and mus- icians, and of the three, the Scotch excel both the others in the number of world-fannous melodies. Many ot the Scotch melodies are very ancieiit., and it. is impoi~islli\e` to upprnxlnnile the

exact. date ol' their creation.

The Scotch have always been ii

warlike race, and as ri cotisequeiiee iiiany o_t their airs' are iiililltary_ Their steadfast adherence' to the tragic 1-.nurse of the Stuarts for many years p_roduced numeroiis songs that have survived their origin through the cen- turies. Ne'xt to their songs of war in number were their tilts' ot’ love. and their dances-the'lr st.rathape'y.~. and their reels.’l`here are two kinda ot Scot- tish muoic-tbag _of the lowlands. and that of the hlghands. or Gaelic. The later is more primitive. even, than the former. Its melodies are simple, wild, and irreguilar, but of a marvelous beauty. A peculiar me‘lancholy per- vades the music, a coloring perhaps due to the nature of the people' tliem~ selves. formed by climate, ac iiei~y',

and a nombre history. el
