o fallen heroes. manhood choicest fowerl

noble monument of nations power:
Be We revered until eternity!
Three winged months ago ere call TO arms.
Ere wars grim front. with direful alarms
OF soldiers rhythmic tramp and bugle call
Had spread Ger our dear land its ominous
Then, what foreboding voice could have
foretold
That in the nest OF time. in fate's dark
mold.
It was ordained upon Gods top'ess hill
That ye be offered up to DO His will,
A sacrifice for all humanity
TO rest revered until eternity?
Home ties were severed at the nations
call.
Ye from your dear ones parted for all
time
Yet none their certain futures could fore
In setting foot within a foreign cline:
The soldiers spirits were serene and grand,
Their hearts were bubbiug DER with ioy
and pain
Joy, serving God and their own native land,
And sorrow, should they ne'er see home
again
At last II comes! The conflict is now on!
The foe. confused, is driven off the field:
Another blow-the battle now is won!
Demoralized. the enemy must yield,
The war is Ger, right conquers over wrong,
Injustice and iniquity are dead:
Gods will is done; let us rejoice in song,
And with garland crown each victor's
head!
Yet let not eXultation he too Jud,
But rather mourn for those that are no
more:
For those that now lie wrapped within a
shroud
Who fought for right and justice in this
war

above,
And thank Him for His kindness and HIS
love
And pray for those who died to do His viii.

Were by the tenderest ties allied.
From some the cruel hand of fate
In early youth did separate,

clined by the British commissioners, an
adjournment was !. ken until the BONN
Diary should be adjusted By the two gov
ernments. The subject has been re,-iv.
ing the cassful attention which itsan
portance demands. with the result that a
nodus vivendi for provisional dem,rca-
tions in the region about the head of
Lynn canal has been agreed upon; and it
is hoped that the negotiations now in
progress between the two governments
will end in an agreement for the estab-
lishment and delimitation of a permanent
boundary.
Apart from these questions growing out
of our relationship with our nothern
neighbor, the most friendly disposition
and ready agreement have marked the
discussion of numerous matters arising in
the vast and intimate intercourse of the
United States with Great Britain
This government has Maintained an at
titude of neutrality in the unfortunate
contest between Great Brit lin and the
Boer states of Africa We have remained
faithful to the precept Of avoiding en-
tangling alliances as to affairs not of our
direct concern. Had cir. umstances sug-
gested that the parties to the quarrel
would have welcome any kindly express
sion If the hope of the American people
that war might be averted, good offices
would have been gladly rendered.
Violence Against Aliens.
For the fourth time in the present de-
cade question has arisen with the govern
ment of Italy in regard to the lynching of
italian subjects. The latest of these de-
plorable events occurred at Tallulah, La
whereby five unfortunates, of Italian
origin, were taken from Jail and hanged.
Because of defective federal jurisdiction
the president recommends legislation
giving federal courts power of prosecution
in similar cases.

recommend that in case the congress
should not take measures to bring about
this result by direct action of the govern
ment, the postmaster general be author

company to give ample bonds to insure

Friendliness Has Characterised Dealin q
With Other Nations.
A review Of our relations with foreign
states is presented with such recommen-
dations as are deemed appropriate. Many
of the references are to minor incidents
and events in states on this continent.
Our increasing intimate relations with
Germany are cited at considerable length,
the history of Nicaragua canal negotia-
lions during the past year is given, and
the appointment of new commission de-
tailed Good progress has been made by
this commission, but under the law a
comprehensive and complete Investigation
is called for, which will require much
labor and considerable time for its accom-
plishment. The work will be prosecuted
as expeditiously as possible, and a report
made at the earliest practicable date.
The great importance of this work can.
not be too often or too strongly pressed
upon the attention of the congress In
my message Of a year ago expressed my
views Of the necessity Of a canal which
would link the two great oceans, to which
I again invite your consideration. The
reasons then presented for early action
are even stronger now.
Alaskan Boundary and Othsr Matters
In my last annual message referred to
the pending negotiations with Great Brit
ain in respect to the dominion of Canada
BY means of an executive agreement q
Joint high commission had been created
for the purpose Of adjusting all unsettled
questions between the United States and
Canada, embracing twelve subjects
among which were the 0uastiOns Of the
fur seals, the fisheries of the coast and
contiguous inland waters, the Alaskan
boundary, the transit of merchandise in
bond, the alien labor laws, mining rights
reciprocity in trade, revision of the agree
ment respecting naval vessels in the Great
Lakes, a more complete marking of parts
of the boundary. provision for the con
veyanoe Of criminals and for wrecking
and salvage.
Much progress had been made by
the commission toward the ad
iustment of many of these cues
lions where it became apparent thai
an irreconcilable difference of views was
entertained respecting the delimitation Of
the Alaskan boundary In the failure o.
an agreement as to the meaning of arti
cles and of the treaty Of 1926 between
Russia and Great Britain, which defined
the boundary between Alaska and Can
ada, tire American commissioners pro
posed that the subject of the boundar,
be laid aside and that the remaining
questions of difference be proceeded
with, some of which were so IA
advanced as to assure the probability

declared policy of the United States.
In this connection 1 repeat my former
recommendations that portion of the
gold holdings shall be placed in trust
fund from which greenbacks shall be re-
deemed upon presentation, but when once
redeemed shall not thereafter be paid out
except for gold.
The Merchant Marine.
The value of an American merchant
marine to the extension of our CONNER
cial trade and the strengthening OF our
power upon the sea invites the immediate
action of congress. Our national deyel-
opment will be one sided and unsatis-
factory so long as the remarkable growth
of our inland industries remains unac'
companied by progress on the seas.

BANKING AND CURRENCY.
Gold Standard and ENLARGED Powers for
National Banks.

Gold Standard and ENLARGED Powers for
National Banks
Increased activity in industry, with its
welcome attendant-a larger employment
for labor at higher wages-gives to the
body of the people larger power to abb
sorb the circulating medium. 1t is fur
ther true that year by year, with larger
areas of land under cultivation, the in
creasing agricultural products, cotton,
corn and wheat call for larger volume
of money supply. This is especially
noticeable at the crop harvesting and
crop moving period.
&. In it's early history the national bank
ing act seemed to prove a reasonable
avenue through which needful additions
to the circulation could from time to time
be made. Changing conditions have APP
parently rendered it now imperative to
that end. The high margin in bond So
curities required, resulting from large
premiums which government bonds COM
mand in the market, or the tax on note
issues, or both operating together, appear
to be the influences which impair its pub
lie utility.
The attention of congress is respectfully
invited to this important matter with the
view of ascertaining whether or not such
reasonable notifications can be made in
the national banking act as will render
its service in the particulars here referred
TO more responsive to the peoples needs.

tions may require and should provide for
