WARPOEM CALLS
ON THE BRITONS

" Rudyard Kipling. whose fast verse
On the European war has
been anxiously awaited. calls upon
sons to stand up and meet
the war in the following spirited
poem reprinted from the New YORK
n.y." .s:. ...
FOR ALL WE HAVE AND ARE.
:.. T." r..
For all we have and are.
For all our ehildren,s fate.
Stand up and meet the war!
The Hun is at the gate.
Our world has passed away,
In wantonnes o'erthrown.
There's nothing left today
But steel and fire and stone.
. Though all we knew depart,
The old commandments stand:
In courage keep your heart!
In strength lift up your hand!"
IL.
Once more we hear the word
That sickened earth of old:
No law except the sword, -
Unsheathed and uncontrolled"
- ollJc ItICIc ~ Minus HldHhIiidS
Once mere the nations go
To meet and break and bind
A crazed and driven foe.
H. 49,
Comfort, content, delight
The ages slow-bought gain "
They shrivelled in a night
Only ourselves remain. -. ~.
To face the naked days
In silent fortitude, -.
Through perfls and dismays
Renewed and re-renewed
Though all we made depart,
The old commandments stand:
In patience keep your heart!
In strength lift up your hand"
".
No easy. hopes or lies
Shall bring us to our goal, |
But iron sacrifice
OF body, will and soul.
There's but one task for all /
For each one life to give. !
Who stands If Freedom fall?
Who dies II England live? 1

these expenditures should also be

Ordered to Capture Warsaw.
A Petrograd dispatch to the Daily

length to the alleged instructions of
the German emperor to his staff that
an attempt to capture Warsaw must
be made at all hazard. Rumors of such
instructions have been current for
some days, and accoding to the Novoe
Vremya the plan is connected with the
idea that the capture of Warsaw would
provide a suitable moment for the pro-

Daniel Chester French to De-
sign Statue for the Lin
coin Memorial.
NAMED BY COMMISSION
AT MEETING HELD TODAY
Figure of Bronze to Cost Not More
Than $50, ,000-Authorized
by Congress.

Daniel Chester French of New York,
chairman of the commission of fine arts,
is the unanimous choice of the Lincoln
memorial commission as the sculptor to
design the bronze statue of Abraham
Lincoln which is to be placed in the
two-milion dollar Lincoln memorial in
the Mall near the bank Of the Potomac
river.
The Lincoln memorial commission held
a meeting today in its offices in the Sem

President. At the meeting today were
former Senator Joseph c. S. Blackburn
of kentucky, chairman Of the commits
sion. and former President Taft, Speaker
Clark, Eeprescntative-elect Joseph G.
Cannon of Illinois and former Repre-
sentative Samuel w. Mccall of Massa-
chusetts.
The two other members of the COM
mission who were not in the city for
the meeting are Senator Martin OF
Virginia and former Senator Wetmore
of Rhode Island.
Vote Was Unanimous.
The action of the commission in Sc
lecting Mr.. French was unanimous
1t had been suggested that a replica
of the Saint Gaudens statue Of Lincoln
in Lincoln Park, Chicago, be made and
placed in the Lincoln memorial, but the
commission believed that the national
memorial to Lincoln here should be
original.
Fear was expressed at the meeting
that Mr.. French, in view of his posi-
ton of chairman of the fine arts COM
mission, might feel a delicacy about
accepting the commission to design tho
statue. Col. Harris. U. S. A.. in charge
of public buildings and grounds and
executive officer of the fine arts COM
mission, explained, however. that Mr..
French was to give up his office as
chairman of the fine arts commission
next June. The Lincoln memorial COM
mission, therefore. Immediately took
favorable action upon the matter.
Under the terms of the act providing
for the memorial, the statue of Lincoln
is to cost not more than $4,000.

Comment by Controller Downey

and aside from the stated rea-
sons for these conclusions, ap-
plicab BILE to the executive branch
of the government, there are ap-
parent other reasons why the
matter should be handled by
Congress where power lies to do
what the circumstances of the
case may seem to require, un-
limited by the necessity of tech
nlcal construction of the frag-
mentary and unsympathetic legis-
lat1on of the period involved
If there are reasons for as
Sumlng that the Congress which
passed the act of 1878 did not in
tend to require an accounting as
to antecedent transactions there
is now authority in Congress not
found elsewhere so to conclude
and act.
There every equitable con-
slderatlon as we'll as the cold
facts may properly be given
their full weight and a conclu-
sion reached which not only must
be deemed authorized, because
with authority, but which can be
justified because it is the delib-
crate conclusion of competent
men authorized to act. inspired
only by right motives, unham-
pered by necessity for technical
construction and desirous only of
accomplishing right and justice"
