The TranSvaal government has Off
cially acknowledged its obligations to Col.

end of January or February, and that
he would be able to return to the sea
coast at the beginning of March. OF

that | should serve a very noble but al
most desperate cause, as England was
so powerful. | see clearly today that the
colossus has feet of clay, and that the
Beers are of the stuff to shake it in q
threatening manner.

of the French army had started for the

TRUMPET AND FLAG.

The last bugle's dying echoes falter down
the narrow valley,
The doubtful battle tarried in so long;
As turning from their headlong charge the
scattered horsemen rally,
The Ginning rocks repeat their fading
song.
From the heights where eagles hover day
dark cliffs the bucks leap over,
The thousand giant voices of the crag.
In reverberatinS chorus speed the musical,
sonOrouS,
Silver summons of the Trumpet to the
Flag:
Awake! awake! your splendid robe out
shake!
Float proudly loving Sister for your nigh
ty Brothers sake,
The unanswered guns have spoken; we
have conquered: they are broken
As the mists of morn before the morning

staff the uncounted were drifted,
Who died to set its naughty folds so high
But she trailed her dropping veSture with Il
mourner's needless gesture,
Murm ring: Yea, and should my 'broid-
cred skirts be spread.
When the children of my glory lie about
rent and CORY,
All the faithful ones who followed where
l led?
Alas alas, their faces in the grass
The DreeZes lift their draggled plumes to
f1out them as they pass.
o, thou cruel mighty Brother, thou didst
cry them on each other,
With the breath that fills thy throat of
thrilling BRASS
Then swift upon those tender tones of
wOmanly compassion,
Like sword from sheath the ringing an

A straw death. StFan3lou SLOWLY his

Yet the traitors shall be hunted by the fate

Away: away! to seek some noble fray,
From pleasant crimes of genial peace that

From the sin that still deceiygs you, till
the stated demon leaves you.
And the clay-begotten brute goes back to

To bid the victOrS close their ranks again.

Sordid Commercialism Rules the
World.

Russk Listok has interviewed Leo Toll
stoi regarding the Transvaal war Toll
stoi said:
DO you know what attitude | take
every morning as | take my newspaper

verse.
This war is the greatest contradiction
of our times. Two highly civilized ma
tons. English and Dutch. are annihiIat-
ing one another. England, state which
was proud of its title of the land OF free
dom. seeks to crush far less numerous
people, the Beers, who have not done the
slightest injury to England. This is in
comprehensibly unbelievable.
DO you know with what this attack
the scorn OF all humanity-is to be COM
pared? Something like this: Suppose we
were both old people and were to go in
dancing booth, and there, with gypses,
INDUCED in riot.
This war broke out after The Hague
conference, of which so much was made.
