Washington March l3--Weird ef-

poetry. Speaking of the situation in
Gloucester Mass. for instance, Con-
gresham August p. Gardner said:
THE highest authority in this
land says that Gloucester Is seeing
ghosts. oh, it is easy for men whose
livelihood is not iniperled to assert
that other men are unnecessarily
a'amed; yet it is true that Gloucester
is seeing ghosts. She is seeing the
ghosts of the men who saved the
Continental Army after the battle
of Long Island. She is seeing the
ghosts of those fishermen of Glouces
ter and Marblehead as they battled
with the ice in the Delaware River
when they safely brought Washing
ton and his little army TO turn the
tide of defeat at the Battle of Tren-
ton.Glcucester is seeing the ghosts of
her old Revolutionary heroes. II

day would not their pallid lips de-
nounce in deep anathemas the in

Gloucester Is seeing the ghosts of
the thousands of brave men who
