Mr. President:
The small progress we have made after 4 or 5 weeks close attendance & continual reasonings with each other - our different sentiments on almost every question, several of the last producing as many noes as ayes, is methinks a melancholy proof of the imperfection of the Human Understanding.
We indeed seem to feel our own want of political wisdom, since we have been running about in search of it. We have gone back to ancient history for models of Government, and examined the different forms of those Republics which, having been formed with the seeds of their own dissolution, now no longer exist. And we have viewed Modern States all round Europe, but find none of their Constitutions suitable to our circumstances.
In this situation of this Assembly, groping as it were in the dark to find political truth, and scarce able to distinguish it when presented to us, how has it happened, Sir, that we have not hitherto once thought of humbly applying to the Father of lights to illuminate our understanding?
In the beginning of the Contest with G. Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayer in this room for Divine protection. - Our prayers, Sir, were heard, & they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a Superintending Providence in our favor. To that kind Providence we owe this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful Friend? or do we imagine we no longer need His assistance?
I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth - that God Governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid?
We have been assured, Sir, in the Sacred Writings, that "except the Lord build the House, they labor in vain that build it." I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the Builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall become a reproach and bye word down to future ages. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter from this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing Governments by Human wisdom and leave it to chance, war and conquest. I therefore beg leave to move - that henceforth prayers imploring the assistance of Heaven, and its blessing on our deliberations, be held in this Assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the clergy of this city be requested to officiate in that service.

# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Place de la Concorde

PLACE DE LA CONCORDE
AUGUST 14, 1914
Since the bombardment of Strasburg, August 14, 1870, her statue in Paris, representing Alsace, has been draped in mourning by the French people.
NEAR where the royal victims fell In days gone by, caught in the swell Of a ruthless tide Of human passion, deep and wide: There where we two A Nation's later sorrow knew,— To-day, O friend! I stood Amid a self-ruled multitude That by nor sound nor word Betrayed how mightily its heart was stirred.
A memory Time never could efface— A memory of grief— Like a great Silence brooded o'er the place; And men breathed hard, as seeking for relief From an emotion strong That would not cry, though held in check too long. ​One felt that joy drew near,— A joy intense that seemed itself to fear,— Brightening in eyes that had been dull, As all with feeling gazed Upon the Strasburg figure, raised Above us,—mourning, beautiful!
Then one stood at the statue's base, and spoke— Men needed not to ask what word; Each in his breast the message heard, Writ for him by Despair, That evermore in moving phrase Breathes from the Invalides and Père-Lachaise,— Vainly it seemed, alas! But now, France, looking on the image there, Hope gave her back the lost Alsace.
A deeper hush fell on the crowd: A sound—the lightest—seemed too loud (Would, friend, you had been there!) As to that form the speaker rose, Took from her, fold on fold, The mournful crape, gray-worn and old, Her, proudly, to disclose, And with the touch of tender care ​That fond emotion speaks, Mid tears that none could quite command, Placed the Tricolour in her hand, And kissed her on both cheeks!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Nansen

NANSEN
TO drift with thee, not strive against thy tide, All-powerful Nature! to pursue thy law, Attentive,—with devout and childlike awe Hearkening unto thy voice, and none beside: To drift with thee! With thee for friend and guide In fragile bark, careless of cold or thaw, To brave the ice-pack and the dread sea-maw!— So are man's conquests won, so glorified.
The truest compass is the seeing soul. Oh, wond'ring Earth! did not thy spirit glow, Calling to mind the deathless Genoese, As Nansen, pilot of the frozen Pole, Like a young Viking rode the icy floe, Wresting their secret from the Arctic Seas?
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/No More, Dear Heart

NO MORE, DEAR HEART
NO more, dear heart—no more I moan The loss of happiness, your gift alone, For quiet thoughts I keep, And in the lengthening, grief-subduing years, Have lost the trick and sweet distress of tears. I smile again—again, ah me! I sleep, And half believe my heart grown cold, Till other happy lovers I behold.
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/On a Poet Too Early Dead

ON A POET TOO EARLY DEAD
WHEN to the undesired home Where you are queen, Persephone, The Dreamer had untimely come, Surely, I think for one brief hour A brightness must have touched your gloom, And that your yearning must have caught, From something that his presence brought, A breath of Enna bloom.
About your throne, so wintry lone, O sorrow-veiled Persephone! I think bright visions, once your own, Must pale have blossomed into flower: That there, your home-sick heart to greet, Narcissus, wraith-like, must have sprung While memory gave plaintive tongue To song Sicilian sweet.
If he, who plucked the asphodel, Brought you one breath, Persephone, Of the fair meads you loved so well And dream of, pensive, hour by hour,— ​Oh, tell him, who with shades must live, Vexed by forlorn regrettings vain, How mortals, mid earth's greater pain, May, loving, all forgive!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Nocturne

NOCTURNE
THE houseless wind has gone to rest In some rude cavern-bed of ocean, And Neptune smooths his foamy crest, At Dian's will, with meek devotion; The shepherd, gathering his sheep, Has brought them safely to the fold,— And in my arms my world I hold! Sleep!
Forespent with hunting on the hill, My truant, in the dusk returning, Finds the lone heart, he left at will, With the one worship burning. The moonlight pales—the shade grows deep— The nightingale doth silence break! Ah, love, until the lark shall wake, Sleep!
No homeless wanderer art thou! Here, pillowed safe, thy head is lying. ​The nightingale! Ah, listen now! What passion—death itself defying! Peace! Stars above us vigil keep, While breathes for thee each mystic flower A-bloom to-night in Dreamland bower: Sleep!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Pilgrimage

PILGRIMAGE
WANDERER from a fading strand Unto shadowy shores unknown, Thou whose sails are onward fanned By flattering breezes,—hast thou planned All thy course alone?
Canst thou tell, now clouds begin To gather in thy path of day, To what harbor thou shalt win, As the long night closes in On a wider way?
Pilgrim, no: I cannot tell. Strange my course, and stormy woes And darkness may obscure its close; Yet I feel that all is well, For my Pilot knows!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Persephone

PERSEPHONE
THE wild bird's first exultant strain Says,—"Winter is over—over!" And spring returns to the world again, With breath as of lilac and clover.
With a certain soft, appealing grace (Surely some sorrow hath kissed her!) She gives to our vision her girlish face, And we know how we've missed her—missed her!
For on a day she went away, Long ere the leaves were falling, And came no more for the whitethroat's lay, Or the pewee's plaintive calling.
In tender tints on her broidered shoon Blossomed the leaves of the myrtle, And silky buds of the darling June Were gathered up in her kirtle; ​And fair, fair, fair, in her sunlit hair Were violets intertwining, That seemed more fresh and unfading there Than with dewdrops on them shining!
She hid them all in her dim retreat; But, heart! a truce to sighing; She's here—incomparably sweet, Unchanging and undying!
We see her brow, and we rejoice, Her cheek, as it pales and flushes, We hear once more in her thrilling voice The note of the woodland thrushes;
And through her lashes, tear-empearled, A mystic light is breaking, And all the love of the whole wide world Seems in her eyes awaking!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Nothing That Can Die

NOTHING THAT CAN DIE
NOTHING that we deem can die Has any thought of death: The mortal thing, without a sigh— Without reproachful plaint or cry— Yields scarcely conscious breath; The coming sleep to it the same As that from which it all-unknowing came.
But spirit cannot so resign A hope that o'er the depths of sorrow Like to a star remains: a sign That strengthens, by its beam divine, To-day with promise of To-morrow! Nay; longing, vital, and foreseeing, Itself becomes a pledge of deathless being.
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Picquart

PICQUART
FOR love of justice and for love of truth"— Aye, 't was for these, for these he put aside Place and preferment, fortune and the pride Of fair renown; the friends he prized, in sooth, All the rewards of an illustrious youth, And set his strength against a swollen tide, And gave his spirit to be crucified— For love of justice and for love of truth.
Keeper of the abiding scroll of fame, Lo! we entrust to thee a hero's name! Life, like a restless river, hurrying by, Bears us so swiftly on, we may forget The name to which we owe so deep a debt; But guard it thou, nor suffer it to die!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Poor Icarus

POOR ICARUS
POOR Icarus!—to soar so high, Then fall! For you 't was vain to try By cunning craft, on faithless wings, To capture empyrean things, That still to men the Fates deny!
Yet, even knowing Death so nigh, Had you reluctant been to fly Beyond earth's sure, safe harborings,— Poor Icarus?
I think not so. All, all must die! But you the pathways of the sky Found first, and tasted heavenly springs, Unfettered as the lark that sings, And knew strange raptures,—though we sigh: "Poor Icarus!"

# Parcels v. Johnson

* related portals: Supreme Court of the United States.

United States Supreme Court
87 U.S. 653
Parcels v. Johnson
ERROR to the Supreme Court of Missouri.
Mrs. Johnson brought suit against one Parcels, in one of the Circuit Courts of Adair County, Missouri, to have an assignment of dower in a certain one hundred and twenty acres of land, of which she alleged that her husband had been seized in fee simple and in such way as that she was dowable of the land.
The facts appeared to be, that her husband, before his marriage with her, had been a soldier in the infantry service of the United States in the war of 1812, and as such was entitled under acts of Congress to one hundred and twenty acres of land; that a warrant for this quantity of land was issued to him; that the plaintiff was afterwards married to him; that they had one child; that the husband died, his wife and child surviving; that afterwards, under an act of Congress, the warrant was located on the land in which the dower was claimed; that a patent soon afterwards, and before this suit was brought, issued in the name of the husband, for it; and that the curator of the child, under certain judicial proceedings, sold the land to Parcels, the defendant. The defence was—
1st. That the husband in his lifetime had no such seizin or estate as authorized his wife to be endowed.
2d. That the curator had reserved one-third of the proceeds of the sale of the land for the wife's use and benefit, and as her supposed dower in the money.
The second defence, however, was not proved, the defendant relying chiefly on the first.
The Circuit Court of Adair County adjudged that the husband had not been seized of any such estate as Mrs. Johnson could be endowed of.
From this judgment Mrs. Johnson took the case to the Supreme Court of Missouri. That court was of a different view, and having delivered and filed a learned opinion, found in the record, ordered the judgment of the Adair County Court to be reversed; and that—
'The said cause be remanded to the aforesaid Adair Circuit Court for further proceedings to be had therein in conformity with the opinion of this court herein delivered and filed.'
From this judgment Parcels now brought the case here, where it was elaborately argued upon the merits.
Mr. B. G. Barrow (with whom was Mr. M. H. Carpenter), for the plaintiff in error; Mr. J. F. Benjamin, contra.
The CHIEF JUSTICE delivered the opinion of the court.

United States Supreme Court
110 U.S. 742
Parcher v. Cuddy
Without deciding whether an injunction may be granted under any circumstances by this court to stay proceedings in the state courts during the pendency of an appeal in a suit brought by the owners of a vessel to obtain the benefit of the limitation of liability, provided for by sections 4283, 4284, 4285, and 4286 of the Revised Statutes, we are all of the opinion that this motion should be denied. Both of the courts below have decided that the vessel owned by the appellants did not come within the purview of the statute, and consequently that the relief asked for should not be granted. If the suits in the state courts go on, and judgments are rendered against the appellants, there is a way in which decisions overruling defenses set up under the statute may be brought here for review, and the errors, if any, corrected. In view of these facts we are not inclined to use the extraordinary writ of injunction to stay proceedings in suits begun in the state courts before the appellants filed their libel in the district court, simply because of the expense that will be consequent upon trials pending the appeal. If we have the power it should not be used in a doubtful case, and after two judgments below denying the relief, unless the reasons are imperative.

United States Supreme Court
87 U.S. 653
Parcels v. Johnson
This writ of error is dismissed, upon the authority of Moore v. Robbins, St. Clair County v. Lovingston, Tracy v. Holcombe, Pepper v. Dunlap, Brown v. Union Bank.
A writ of error can only issue from this court to the highest court of a State for a review of the final judgment or decree of that court in a suit. In other words, it is only the last judgment or the last decree which the State courts can give in a suit, until that judgment or decree is set aside or reversed, that this court can, even in the prescribed cases, bring here for re-examination.
The judgment of the Supreme Court of Missouri, brought up in this case, is one of reversal only and remanding the suit to the inferior court for further proceedings in accordance with the opinion delivered and filed. The cause was sent back, therefore, for a new trial or a new hearing. Upon such trial or hearing the inferior court can proceed to render a new judgment, not inconsistent with the opinion, and that judgment may in its turn be taken to the Supreme Court for examination.
From the record it appears that one of the defences set up in the answer, to wit, that which was based upon the implied acceptance of one-third of the proceeds of the guardian's sale in lieu of dower in the land, was not proven. On a new trial that proof may be supplied and a judgment rendered thereon satisfactory to the now complaining party. In that manner the present supposed Federal question may be put out of the case. So, too, the present pleadings may be amended and a new case made, which will render unnecessary the consideration of any question that can give this court jurisdiction.
Thus it is apparent that the parties have not as yet exhausted the power of the State courts in the premises, and until that is done our power cannot be called into action. This court must be the last resort of litigants in State courts.
WRIT DISMISSED.

# Pamphlet (Carnegie Endowment for International Peace)/Volume 23/Prefatory note

PREFATORY NOTE
On December 12, 1916, the Imperial German Chancellor, von Bethmann-Hollweg, delivered an address in the Reichstag in which he stated the willingness of the German Empire, under certain conditions, to consider the question of peace with its enemies. In the same speech the Chancellor read to the Reichstag the text of a note which the Imperial Government had submitted, through certain neutral Governments, for consideration by the Entente Powers. An identical note was likewise submitted on the same date, through the same channels, by Germany's allies. The Entente Powers, by way of reply to these overtures, stated in similar official form the conditions upon which they would consider the question of peace with their enemies. Certain neutral Powers took advantage of these expressions of the respective belligerents to set forth their views as to the international situation.
It has been thought advisable at this time to collect the various official statements, and to issue them for convenience in a pamphlet, arranged in chronological order but without expression of individual opinion or commentary. The documents themselves have been taken from official sources whenever available.
