PEACE n WAR.

In this land of COntentment,
Where Nature has blest us:
And broad waving wheat fields
Our fond tanries please;
Nhere the rOrn and the clover
VIII ever content us,
And prosperity's wand
Is affoat on the breeze.
Who're the mill and the factories
Are constantly humminE,
And the V~ine-cOvered cottage
Is the abOde of the poor;
Where the shrill, shrieking engine,
From both the broad oceans,
Bring gifts Of Dame Nature
TO cVcryOnc's door.
Where the star spangled banner
In glory waves Ger us,
And wars chilling blast
Never reaches our home:
Where the flock from the hillsides
Are feeding our millions;
From such d blest Union
We never shall roam.
They're gifts we ne'er cherished
AS we do in the present,
When the war clouds of hatred
Are dark'ning the dome.
on Goddess Of Justice
Can 1t be thou'rt sleeping
whilst the roar Of the cannon
ResOunds DER the foam?
Vast armies are massing
And the saVage's venom
bears them onward and forward
TO the wild fields of woe.
The blood Of their warriors
Iheir rivers make crimson;
And they trample TO dust
Nhat the huSbandmen sow,
The groans of the dying;
The prayers of the widow;
The plant Of the hungry
Are abroad in their land.
Vast armies of millions
Are masse4 in their cities
10 slaughter and Stay,
with no thought to disband.
Through years of hard trials
They've builded their cities
And produced from their labors
h wealth of their land,
But they reck not destruction
or shudder at blOOdshed
Whilst the broad sword Of carnaee
Is grasped in their hand.
When God in his mercy
Looks down on the stricken,
And Grief's implorations
Reach Heavens high place.
May reason return
To the War-frenzied nations
And the mantle Of Justice
Enfold the whole race.
y"
May the dark clouds of hatred
Soon swiftly dissemble,
And the sunshine of love
Cast it's rays Ger the gloom,
And the Palace of Peace,
AS the world first intended,
Within it's blest walls
For the wanderers make room.
May the Star Spangled banner
Forever wave Ger US;
And neutrality's motto
Be ever our guide;
May Heavens choice blessings
Be showered upon US
In this land of the free
Where our forefathers died.

Paris Niohts,

A man on a roof garden pulled q
cloud of smoke up at the stars and
said:
"Blanc's just back from Paris. He
says Paris isn't in it with the little
old u. S. A. He says he visited Max
inns and the Cafe de Paris and the
Rat Mort and the Chat Noir and they
were as tame as Sunday school. He
made the usual mistake.
Yes, he made the usual American
mistake Of visiting those resorts at the
wrong time.
Take tea in Montmartre, dine at the
Raj Mort, sup at Maxim's at midnight
and they're all as empty and cold as
a church. Why? Because YOU time
tables wrong.
"Rumplemayer's and the Ritz
they're for elegance, and tea is a very
good time to taxi them in. The Bots
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and the Pre-
Catalan-they're very good for lunch
and for dinner. For supper No. L
you take two suppers if you're making
a night of it in Paris-the Cafe de
Paris n Maxim's are both good, and
they should be visited between 1 and 2,
when they're in full blast. The C
ond supper, between 2 and 3, is .cele-
brated in Montemartre, at the Abbeye
de Theleme or the Rat Mort"
The roof gardner blew another smoke
cloud up toward the stars. Then he
ended pensively:
"A day timetable like that is the
kind Of day put in by young Russian
grand dukes and young English noble
men during the Paris season. Such a
day, for food and wine alone, costs
500 a head at least. The American
who puts in SUCH a day, at may com
plain afterwards-but, at least, he
won't complain that any of the resorts
he visited were like an empty church.

A PLEA FOR FAIRNESS

Germany and its people. 1t would re-
quire too much space to enter into an
adequate description of this phase in
this article. Suffice it to saw that the
geographical location Of Germany rem

One Of the iron men of Germany
who has had as much t do with
bringing on the European war as
any other is Amdiral Won Tirpitz,
secretary Of the navy and chief of
the admiralty. He has built up
the German fleet under the direc-
ton of the kaiser, and he has pre-
pared for the moment that has
come.
The feet is now bottled in the
Baltic, held there BY the British
fleet which is SO much stronger
that a battle would be foolish. But
the fleet is strong enough tO hold
the Russians from trying to attack
German Baltic cities or to land a
force. In fact, it is powerful en-
OUgh to clear away instructions
and possibly later land a force
which may try to march into st.
Petersburg.
