Ring ont, wild bells TO the wild sky,
The flying ciOud. the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old. ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go:
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more:
Ring out the fcud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
-.ing out a slowly dying cause.
And ancient forms Of party strife;
Ring in the noblcr modes OF life.
With swecter manners, purcr laws.
Ring out the want. the care, the sin,
The faithless coldness Of the times:
Ring out. ring out my mournful rhymes
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
.,lng out false pride in place and blood
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love OF truth and right,
Ring in the common love OF good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease:
Ring ont the narrowing lust OF gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old.
Ring in the thousand years Of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring ont the darkness OF the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be-

NEWSPAPER OPINION

The United States and Germany
From the New York Sun.
In view of the disturbed conditions
in Venezuela, where Germany is about
TO collect a claim by the usua. pro-
cess employed by governments, or for
some other reason or reasons, several
American war vessels have been sentre-
Gently into Southern waters.
This is the only foundation for the
attempt of certain newspapers to rep
resent the Administration as preparing
actively for possible clash with Ger
many over the Monroe Doctrine.
The Monroe Doctrine is no more
concerned with Germany's reported in
tention than it would have been con-
cerned with our action in sending a
squadron to seize The customs at
Smyrna If that course had become nee
essary year or two ago.
There probably Is at this time a bet
ter understanding between the Depart
ment of State and the German Foreign
Office as to what is permissible and
what nonpermissible under the Monroe
Doctrine than at any previous time
since tho doctrine was enunciated by
James Monroe.
Il is a poor quality of patriotism
which tries 10 excite hostile sentiment
towards a friendly Power or to Gre
ate a war scare for sensational pur-
poses on the gratuitous assumption that
Germany now means mischief. There
are two of the best reasons imaginable
for tranquility concerning future
events In Venezuela:
1. This nation has no occasion or
desire for trouble with Germany.
,. Germany has no occasion, and, to
the best of our knowledge and belief
no desire to engage in a conflict with
the United States.
