IN MEMORY Os Darling Wife, Who Died One Week Ago, Nov. 21, 1917. |' Why did you call my darling home? , Tell me. Jesus, tell me why; Taken from me, wrapped in death, | All aione, I’m left to sigh. { All my pleasures now have flown. I Deepest sorrow doth abide, ' Grief and tears commingled flow. I Falling by my lonely side. Her sweet face has bereft me; Her smiles are now gone, too; Her words of comfort I cannot hear, All is past, I can’t renew. When by myself, 1 sit and think, And wonder how it can be. That Jesus took her away on high, And left this heavy load for me. Pleasures and happiness now exchanged For sadness and sorrow entertained. But across the Jordan deep and wide. Methinks 1 see her by her Savior’s side. Basking it) the realms of bliss, from care, set free, There, anxiously watching and waiting for me. 8. D. HIGH.

Washington, Nov. 2s (Special to Daily Democrat) —The U. S. and her allies are united iu a stand against any separate peace now. And while no official statement on the subject had been made, it was believed here today the allies have impressed Russia with this thought, in the midst of her mad efforts for an armistice. There are renewed indications that ■ this government proposes not to ship any further supplies to Russia until there exists some more like orderly, national government than the Lenine-, Trotsky regime. The U. S. is dis-' posed to back any stable rule within Russia put the belief is growing that the bolsheviki are drifting toward a separate peace. To this end, it is believed that the 1 allies, perhaps from Paris, have sent ] word to General Dukhonins armies in | the form of a warning again t the Lenine-Trotsky-Teutou negotiations.
