impulse which leads us to seek the silver
lining In every cloud. Even with the fore
most nations of Europe engaged In a death
struggle. the tendency is widespread to
search for some ray of light to relieve the
soul -sickening blackness

other. So il will be at the close of the war
the wounds of each Will have to be bound

sent II united front to whatever attacks ON
liberty and advancement may come from the

as To the authorship of Die Wacht Am fthcin,'
commonly attributed To Max SchneckcnburS, OF
Tina helm, WurtemburS, Germany, saying that
its impression is that Karl korner, the poet

to that effect Korncr wrote many war lyrics
and songs. his most famous production bcin.
The Sword Song" composed just before his
death in skirmish preceding the battle 81
Leipzig. The Athenaeum attributes Die Wacht
Am lshcin' to SchncckcnburIcr. saying that it
was written In November. 1870. There are sew
oral translations. and the song has been set
10 many tunes, and this may account for the
differences In the words of the song noted by
tho Nirsinian-Pilot. 1t may be, too, tina,
