able to stand the strain put upon it.
The collapse occurred suddenly and
at a moment when the doctors SEEM
ingly had had the greatest hopes for

breathing of the king. She called DIR.
Thiriar to the bedside Both doctors
resorted to injections of morphine,
but these had no effect.
The entire Kingdom of Belgium
mourns its departed ruler, Leopold
ii. Courts, schools and theatres are
closed, Parliament and the municipal
council have adjourned and flags are
at haif-mast in every city, town and
village of the kingdom out of respect
for the dead monarch.
Under the constitution the affairs
of the nation will be in the hands of
the Cabinet until Prince Albert takes
the oath of Office of succession next
Thursday. the day after the funeral
of his unoie, before the joint houses
of Parliament in the Senate chamber.
An official decree issued Thursday
!auds King Leopold's career and de-
ciares his creation of the Congo In
dependent State was an act unique
in the annals of history. "Posterity
will judge Leopold great King with
a grand reign" it says.

LITTLE STATES SPEAK OUT.
Central American Republics Caustic
Against Uncle Sam.

Mexico City, Special. Resolutions
ratified Monday night at q mass
meeting of the Central American
people in Mexico City, denouncing
the action of the United States in
reference to Nicaragua and Zelaya,
were mailed Tuesday to President
Taft and Secretary Knox. Thew are
In part as follows:
That the government of the Unit
ed States has no right to intervene
IN the internal affairs of Central
America, despite the reasons state by
you, and We affirm that the purpose
OF your government is to consum-
mate an ofense against Nicaragua,
through the arousing of political pas
sions and taking advantage of the
credulity or disloyalty of some Gen.
tral Americans.
''That Nicaragua has grounds to
consider that the political revolution
has been promoted by the government
OF the United States and has the per-
feet right to claim from that govern
ment an indemnification sufficient to
pay for the loss of life and interests
which your government has caused
with its irregular proceedings.
"That if the government of the
United States had sought in good
faith an equitable and impartial solu-
ton Of the conflict, it would have
adopted at once the mediation offered
by he government Of Mexico to solve
the question peacefully-a mediation
which was offered, according to the
declaration Of the Mexican govern
ment to the press.
"We declare that your note is op-
posed to the sovereignty and dignity
OF our common country, but princi-
pally tc the republic of Nicaragua;
that we consider that the note is not
inspired by a government friendly to
our people, and in consequence we
protest against the aggression which
your government is practicing against
Nicaragua and we call upon all of our
countrymen in Central America and
abroad to be on the alert with respect
to the dominating and absorbing ten
denotes of the American government
In order that should the occasion
present itself; they may act as the
patriotism and Importance Of our five
republics require"

Laudation to His Holy name,
And to His lowly birth

Laudation to His Holy name,
And to His lowly birth
Not that he came in splendor-fame
Nor like king Of earth;
Not that the banners waved on hlgh.
The cymbals clashed His praise:
But that alone the starry sky
Led to His humble dais!
Laudation to His purpose mild,
Who came not unto men
Except as comes little child
With far, wide-wandering ken:
Who came not panoplied in gold,
With sword and shield of might.
But in His mothers sweet enfold-
A rose-bloom of the night!
Laudation to His deathless soul.
Not that BE ruled, as king;
But that Gods arm around him stole
AS soft as angels wing.
Not that the thunder of His tread
Shook cities to their doom,
Sut that 5eneath His feet the dead
Were touched to deathless blooml
Not for the conqueror s mail clad hand
Nor for the victor's sword:
Not for the chieftain of band,
A wild, world-sundering horde:
Lift the hosanna of the years,
Utter the golden song,
For this, the foeman of our tears
And for all human wrong!
Aye, for life that came to lead
ALI life toward the sun;
And for heart that came to bleed
For tasks thas love had done;
A Life that gave that gifts might bless,
All sweets of life; to be
This brother of the brotherless-
Dear friend to you and mel
Laudation to His holy namel
Through all the ages cry
The exaltation Of His fame
Unto the Christmas sky
Not that He rose as princes rise,
Unto ltfo's fs-ting power:
sut that beneath warm mother-eyes
He bloomed rs blooms a iowerI
Baltimore Sun.
