: ASALT LAKE POET
>c~ccc%>c>%ccc~>

The environment of a clerkship in the
Salt Lake City postoffice seem to be more
poetic than prosaic. Postmaster Bar
raft asserts that several of his subordin-
ates touch the tuneful Tyre with fetching
effect. and the very atmosphere Is loaded
with poesy. The Springfield Repuoiican
of recent date publishes one OF the pro-
auctions of n. Albert Sherman, clerk
in the money order department, who, IN
spired by memories of the heroic age OF
Hellas utters rhyming entreaty TO the
modern Greek to send the hordes OF
Islam scampering back to their mosques
and harems. 1t is as follows:
Enchanted land of balmy isle.
Nymph- bower and sunny lea:
Where olive groves and vineyards smile
Along the blue Aegean sea;
Behold upon the worlds wide chart
How small thy space, yet thou vert
cast,
o HelIas, for giant'5 part
A flashing star. meteor.
Amidst the ancient raylesS throng;
Thy glorious feats of peace and war
| Are ours in story ard in song.
| Great Pindar scared and Plato taught.
! Demosthenes' Phillippics hang
For all the ages PhidiaS wrought.
| Through tyrants' rule and dark intrigue
Thy mad career. to fall at last
The prey of foreign foe and league,
Thy fame a memory of tie past.
FOR what IDOu vert IN ancient Jay.
For all thou art and yet might be,
| ShouldS't Christendom be proud TO say.
Greece, dear motherland, be free.
Where lies thy hope? Proud Austrian,
| We know the Wanted claim of thine
| OF Hapsburg house and jeweled crown
Inherited by right divine
From the AuguStan; it IS Just.
| No Caesar OF the ancient day
With Nero's hate and Tarduin's lust.
Ger ruled with more despotic sway.
| Oh that one like the Corsican
Could thunder al Vienna s gate,
Then mightst thou on thy lettering throne
Feel for a suffering sister state.
Dost seek. o Greece. the Muscoyite,
! Kinsman in faith and foeman fierce
| OF islam? a perfidious knight.
| Who tits his lance in thrust and tieree
At liberty; with knout and scars
Alike for subject and for foe;
His realm grit round with prison bars
Across a thousand leagues of snow.
| Turn to thy vine-clad hills again;
And bid the surly Russian bear
Go seek and keep his frozen den.
How stands fair Albion, whilom guard
OF Christian cross and liberty,
! Where erst the warrior Wed with bard
To lift their banners to the sky?
o freedom loving German. where
Art thou in Hellas hour of need?
And France. the brave, the desbonair,
Leap forward thou to chivalrous deedi
Those lands are pinioned as of old
! By selfish interest and fear
Non-intervention stern and cold,
Greed of the western hemisphere.
| Upon thy valor and the right.
Rely. o Greece. when heaven sent
| Full oft the weak have Won the fight
Against the heavier armament.
/ Thou God of battle. by thy power
| Help him restore the ancient line.
And lift to crown each mosque and tower
The blazing cross of ConStantinel
1 Nor till thy strong arm overwhelm
The hordes of Islam, and fair Greece
Claim and rebuild the wasted realm,
Shall waring Europe be at peace.
N. Albert Sherman.

formally signed and executed at the State
Department during the present week,
carrying out the proposition before the
Bering Sea conference for n suspension of

Ing Is that the signing of this uocument
will occur the next few days. 1t will
represent the completed efforts of the
con1erencc.a and with the signing conclud-
ed the conference will adjoun.
The essential feature of the treaty, or
convention, is for the suspension Of
pelagic sealing for such period AS will
permit the seal herd to revive. The pe-
Rod OF this suspension is not dis closed.
One report is that it will be for one year,
subject to extension.
The attitude which Great Britain will
assume toward the proposition and the
treaty which is to take it's place are
awaited with much interest. Thus far
the British authorities have not been in
formed as to what the conference pro-
poses. doing. At the same time. the Brit
tsh expert, Professor Darcy Thompson,
has had several long talks with Mr.. Eos

believed an amcable understanding

Princeton, n. j., Nov. 2.-.No official
statements have been made by any of the
Princeton faculty concerning the Inn
question, nor will any be made until af-
ter the meeting of the Presbytery, No.
vember IL, in Princeton, to take action
upon DR.. Shields withdrawal from the
Presbyterian Church. But it was
learned yesterday what Prnceton's
groundof defense would be. 1t will de-
fend the existence OF the inn instead of
disclaiming any association with it. 1t
is not the sentiment of Princeton that
drinking is wicked, and the idea is to
have the drinking inn arespectable place.
The inn will be put forward as the
best solution of the temperance problem
as it exists in Princeton University.
The rules forbid the sophomores and
freshmen FROM entering the grill room :;
prevents this selling of anything stronger
than beer to any student, and that not
in quantities sufficient to causu drunk
enness.
The outcome OF the discussion in all
probability will be that the Preshytery of
New Brunswick will sustain DIR. Shields,
and the rules of the Princeton Inn WILDE
