bunks of the Nile. This Princess un
fortunately falls in love with a mere
shepherd lad but of course the dignity
of her rank will ot allow them to
marry. Thus it is that in plighting
their troth after the manner of lovers
in those days, they break in two a
rare scarab, symbol of enduring af
fection and each keeps half, although
they are destined never to see each
other again.
Centuries later, as Grace Leslie, the
princess meets the reincarnated spirit
of the shepherd and they discover
that each of them possesses a half

NEW MARCHING SONG FOR
OUR ARMY IN FRANCE
"Over the Sea to Germany" Was
Composed by Men on the
Way Over.
The American troops In France have
a new marching song "Over the Sea
to Germany."
The music was composed by Clar
. ence Gridley, a son of tho famous Cap
tain Grid ley of Manila Ray, and' the
words were written on the way over
by John Erb, commissary clerk on one
of the transports. The chorus goes:
Goodhy. dear old Tankee land. Hello,
France! '
We've sailed across the ocean to make the
i Germans dance.
. They have tricxt to rule the world with
military stuff,
But we come from a country that never
takes a bluff.
The music Is reminiscent of "Tlp
perary," "A Hot Time In the Old Town
Tonight" and the "Doxology," but It
will do.
It tins a great march rhythm and
makes a great hit with (he French as
the regiments swing past.

These are the only ones who made any
claim for exemption at the registra
