ports can be used for carrying peo-

be used for freight carriers, because

The Miami Herald says It is i'm
possible for an afternoon paper to
have as much war news as morning
paper, and proceeds to give scientific
reasons for it's argument. The Her
aid, however, omits the principal
reason, which looms up large before
the eyes of every man who carefully
reads both morning and afternoon
papers. 1t is that the morning pa
per reprints what the afternoon pa
per had the day before, as well as
what comes in after the afternoon
paper goes to press. If you will look
at morning paper, you will see that
all but a few dispatches are dated
the day before. The truth is that
nearly all the telegraph news in a
morning paper is in by midnight, as
any trained newspaper worker
knows.

BATTLE HYMN OF BRITAIN

The earth is full Of anger,
The seas are dark with wrath,
The Nations in their harness
Go up against our path;
Ere yet we loose the legtons-
Ere yet We draw the blade.
Jehovah Of the Thunders,
Lord God our battle aid
High lust and forward bearing,
Proud heart, rebellious brow
Deaf ear and soul uncaring,
We seek Thy mercy now!
The sinner that forswore Thee,
The fool that passed Thee by,
Our times are known before Thee
Lord grant US strength TO die.
From panic. pride and terror
Revenge that knows no rein,
Light haste and lawless error.
Protect US yet agin.
Cloak Thou our undeserving,
Make firm the shuddering breath
In silence and answering
To taste Thy lesser death.
Zen now their vanguard gathers,
Fen now we face the fray
| As Thou dids't help our fathers,
| Help Thou our host today!
Fulfilled of signs and wonders,
| In life, in death made clear
Jehovah of the Thunders,
Lord God of Battles hear!

JAPAN's DEMAND ON GERMANY

The car of Russia is the cham

that his Germany has stepped forth,

white man has roamed up and down

exploiting the alarmed yellow man.
The Jap was always more of a
fighter than any other yellow race,
but had he not with greater wisdom
learned European tactics and the use
of European arms, he would have
been as the Chinaman, the Hindoo,
the Javan and the Filipino.
The Jap. has more real cause to
tell the Briton than the German to
