They may have read Trolope, George Meredith and Thomas Hardy those doubting -Victorians. Many of them have read nothing published before 1890, and practically goes back of 1870. This means that they have read chiefly what is expound ed by Wells, Shaw, Chesterton, GalSworthy and Masefeld not mention Robert w. Chambers. Now such literature, coming into the readers mind after what preceded It, frequently took it's place read anything else, what has Meredith Hardy to tell you about the conduct of your affairs, what precious secrets of civilization do they trans init?

HIS CREED

Faith in him who calls me friend Faith in what is sweet and clean; Faith that just around the bend All is peaceful and serene. Faith that after care and strife
 Come the happy days of rest; Faith that everything in life
 Really happens for the best. This is my faith and this is my shield 'Gainst the arrows of distrust;
 Much of justice is concealed
 In what seems to be unjust. Now what seems d dismal way
 That alone I'm forced to tread I may come to see some day
 Is a glorious path instead Undisturbed by petty wrongs.
 Undismayed by what is mean, Though the false attracts the throngs Though the multitude mclean, Though at times I stand alone.
 Though I'm oft misunderstood Faith l still would keep and own In the decent and the good.

"The FatherIand"

"The Fatherland" is weekly issued in New ork to secure Fair Play for Germany and Aus ria!' and to alay the anti German sentiment which 'as so generally manifest at the outbreak of the ar The editors are George Sylvester Viereck, editor the International Monthly; Frederick F. Schrader, he dramatic writer, and Louis Sherwn. The Fath- rland' contains series of articles describing the auses of the and the relations of the countries lvoved in it. and other articles protesting against he unfriendly attitude of the American press gener lly and especially the New York press While The Fatherand" may succeed in lmercan sentiment with respect to Germany, the igor with which it is proceeding is calculated to xcite the bitter antagonism of those adopted american citizens who. or their progenitors, have ome from the countries with which Germany is at Iar.
 In the first issue of "The Fatherland" appears his poem by MT Viereck, under the caption, Will elm II, Prince of Peace" It is distinguished for s strength and rather clarion note:
 o Prince of Peace Lord of War.
 Unsheath thy blade without a stain
 Thy holy wrath shall scatter far
 The boodhounds from thy country fane. Into thy hand the sword is forced
 By traitor friend and traitor foe,
 On foot, sea, and winged and horsed,
 The Prince of Darkness strikes his blow. Crush thou the Cossack arms that reach
 To pIung the world into the night!
 Save Goethe's vision, Luthers speech,
 Thou art the Keeper of the Light,
 When darkness all the lands.
 Who kept Gods faith with courage grim? Shall he uphold that countrys hands.
 Or tear its members limb from limb? God called the Teuton to be free,
 Free from Great Britains golden thra
 From guillotine and anarchy,
 From pogroms red and whips that fall. May thy victorious armies rout
 The savage tribes against thee hurled,
 The Car whose sceptre is the knout
 And France the harlot of the word
 But thy great task will not be done
 Until thou vanquish utterly
 The Norman brother of the Hun, a England the Serpent of the Sea.
 The flame of her tradesmen famed
 Shall yet consume her, fleet and field,
 The star of Frederick guide thy hand
 The God of Bismarck be thy shield.
 Against the fell Barbarian horde
 Thy people stand, a living wall
 Now fight for Gods peace with thy sword
 For if thou fail, a world shall fall!
