London Press Disappointed.

AOu0On ffeSS disappointed.
Monday afternoon newspapers in Lon
don generally express great disappointment,
at the proposed amendments to the arbi-
tration treaty.
The Westminster Gazette hopes public
opinion In the United States will make
itself felt before the senate acts upon the
report Of its committee on foreign rela-
tons.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: The COM
mittee is doing its best to make way with
the treaty. 1t has not dared to brave pub
lie opinion in absolutely withholding ap-
prevail, but has left it valueless.
The Globe remarks: The amendment
excludes every question of real importance
and leaves the treaty meaningless. The
most digni6ed course for the senate to
pursue would be to declare the treaty has
become worse than useless and decline to
ratify it. Not many tears would be shed
over its fate, in spite of the premature
cock Growing

TIE WHIRLWIND ROAn.

The muses.. wrapped in mysteries of light,
Came III a rush of music on the night
And was lifted wildly OH quick wings,
And born away into the heart ot things.
The dead doors of my being broke apart;
A wind of rapture blew across the heart;
The inward song of worlds rang still and
clear;
ifeltthe mystery the muses. fear;
Yet they went switching on the ways un-
trod
And hurled me breathless at the feet of God
felt faint touches of the final truth
Moments of trembling love, moments of
youth,
A vision swept away the human wall;
Slowly Isaw the meaning Of it all
Meaning of life and time and death and
birth.
But cannot tell it To the men of earth.
| only point the way and they must go
The whirlwind road Of song if they would
know.
