(BY WILLIAM HAUGHToN)
Ihey laid him Gown IN the trench-true man
In the trench where the dead lie cold;
lie fell in the front with the slaughtered
van
Where the crimson tide of the carnage ran
Ard the smoke of the conflict rolled
some tears were dropped DER his mangled
frame.
But he soundly sleeps tho unknown to
fame,
We stayed at home from the fearful fray
From the blaze OF the battles breath;
But we prayed for the brave who were far
away
And our hearts went out where the
wounded lay
In the mortal throes of death
And the tide rolled on, ar d the thunders
pealed
Oh God! what a hell is the battle field.
Have you thought my friend. what our
freedom cost
Have you counted the awful price
or the deadly hate when the blades were
crossed
OF the ruined homes, and the thousands
lost
And the blood OF the sacrifice?
On the crimson page could you leave
stain?
tbs red with the blood OF our martyrs
slain,
At peace-yet the battle Of right goes on,
Even here in this favored land;
We fear for oar cause when friend has
gone
But no, by the cross Of the holy One
And the strength of Jehovas hand
Wen look on the brow with the thorny
crown
And strike at the wrong, till the wrong
goes down.

WATSON SAID TO HAVE
CONTEMPLATED SUICIDE

There is persistent rumor afloat to-
DAY that Watson, the alleged defaulter
recently contemplated suicide on ac-
count of his financial tangles While no
authoritative source can be found for the
report. it has been freely circulated and
is given credence by a number OF per-
sons interested in the case
The substance OF the rumor is that
Watson confded his troubles to an in
innate friend, and remarked that the
safest way to straig ghten his complicated
affairs would be with bullet Accord
ing to the report Watson recently visit
ed the home of this friend, whose name
is unknown, and in sudden burst of
confidence told him of the defalcation.
It's too late to repair matters now.''
he is alleged to have said. THE only
thing that's left for me to do is 10 end

1t is alleged that Watson then asked
the best method of suicide, and was
informed that the quickest and surest
way was with revolver 1t is further
rumored he picked up a pistol on hear
ing this and. walking to mirror, toyed
with the weapon in e threatening man

POWERS EXPECTED TO AC7

BERLIN, June 11.-Immediately upon
the receipt of news OF the assassination
of King Alexander and Queen Draga Of
Servia. an interchange of views took
place between the principal European
governments
A government official this morning
put the case as follows:
Can the great nonarchies of Europe
tolerate proceedings which are utterly
subversive of monarchism? VIII the
Kaiser, with his convictions of. the di-
vine rights of kings. allow a fellow mon
arch to die thus without raising finger
to chastise the Impious regicides?
1T is possible that Austrian troops
will occupy Servia in the nominal in
terest of public order. If this oc-
Cured, would Russia retaliate by war
or by the occupation OF another por-
ton OF the Balkans? 1t is realized here
that the crisis may result in a vast
Balkan outburst, continental war,
and perhaps the Encouragement of the
map OF Europe.
Throwing troops into the disturbed
country may prevent accession of new
King. Then again the powers may IL
terfere." z"
