istic view Of the International situa-

the European powers are not yet sure
that a solution of all the difficulties is

Upon the smoky battle breeze
The flag was first displayed,
Combining in its brave design
The midnight and the morn,
Behold It barely covered then
A nation newly born
But since it put the foe to rout
Its stars of glory bright
Have grown so fast that every land
Is guided by their light.
The dauntless stripes of white and red
Fort Stanwix saw unfurled
Above a few intrepid souls
Now shelters an the world.

not only startled but alarmed, by
its resemblance to the original, and
hesitated about taking it with me

his meat and drink upon voluntary
