MOTHER-A PRAYER,

I"OM Dillon, who used to be a
Minnesota newspaper man, gets
= his pay envelope from the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Dillon is a
newspaper man, one of that frater-
nifty much abused, oft ridiculed. In
Tom Dillon is a heart as big as an
OK, thoughts as sweet as dew-cov-
cred wood violets and faculty for
weaving words that Walt Whitman
had.
No more beautiful prayer than Dill
Ion wrote has ever found echo from
rostrum or pulpit than the one he
evolved entitled "My Mother" Would
that every boy and girl might read
it and having read it keep and read
it again.
Here it is:
"For the body you gave me, the
bone and the sinew, the heart and
the brain that are yours, my mother,
| thank you. thank you for the light
in my eyes, the blood in my veins,
for my speech, for my life, for my
being. All that | am is from you who
bore me.
"For all the love that you gave me,
unmeasured from the beginning, my
mother, thank you. | thank you for
the hand that led me, the voice that
directed me, the breast that nestled
me, the arm that shielded me, the lap
that rested me- All that | am is by
you, who nursed me.
"For your smile in the morning
and your kiss at night, my mother, |
thank you. | thank you for the tears
you shed over me, the songs that you
sung to me, the prayers you said for
me, for your vigils and ministerings.
All that | am is by you, who reared
me.
For the faith you had in me, the
hope you had for me, for your trust
and your pride, my mother, l thank
you. l thank you for your praise and
your Gliding, for the justice you bred
into me and the honor you made mine.
All that | am you taught me.
"For the sore travail that | caused
you, for the visions and despairs, my
mother, forgive me. Forgive me the
peril | brought you to, the sobs end
the means | wrung from you, and for
the strength l took from you, mother.
'For the fears l gave you, for the
alarms and the breads, my mother,
forgive me. Forgive me the joys l
deprived you, the tolls l made for
you, for the hours, the days and the
years claimed from you, mother,
forgive me-
For the times that | hurt you, the
times / had no smile for you, the ca
resses l did not give you, my mother,
forgive me. Forgive me for my Anglers
and revolts, for my deceits and evas-
ions, for all the pangs and sorrows l
brought to you. mother, forgive me.
'For your lessons | did not learn,
for your wishes / did not heed, for
the counsels | did not obey, my moth
er, forgive me. Forgive me my pride
in my youth and my glory in my
strength that forgot the holiness of
your years and the veneration of your
weakness, for my neglect, for my sell
fishness, for all the great debts of
your love that have not paid, moth
er, sweet mother, forgive me.
"And may the peace and the JOY
that passeth all understanding be
yours, my mother, forever and ever.
Amen" The Gary Times.

TO CAPTURE ANTWERP
GERMANS MAKE READY TO At
TACK CITADEL
kaiser's Soldiers Place Huge Siege
Guns in Position Near Capital
of Belgium.

Antwerp, Sept 2S.-Every day
seems to add to the almost feverish
activity within the new Belgium CAPT.
tai, for it is becoming more and more
apparent that the Germans, having
suffered SO much from the repeated
sorties from Antwerp, have decided to
take the citadel if possible.
The small corps of aviators, who
have done splendid work, have brought
back information that the Germans
who are well intrenched some ten or
twelve miles beyond the outer line Of
fortresses are merely biding their
time until their heavy siege guns can
be brought into action.
For some days past large bodies Of
troops have been conveyed from AK
la-Chapelle to the district east and
south of Antwerp. Austrians make
up part of the force, and some of the
siege artillery also is Austrian.
The preliminaries to the location OF
the big cannon take considerable time,
for the guns are in eight sections and
require the united efforts of SO trac-
ton engines to move them into po-
sition after a concrete bed has been
prepared.
These guns throw projectiles weigh
ing more than two thousand five hun
dred pounds, and the violence of the
firing is so tremendous that the gum
ners, who are specially trained en-
gineers from Krupps', stand long
way off when the discharge takes
place.
1t is computed by authorities that
the Germans can only obtain access to
the city at the expense of losing 100.-
900 men killed and six times that num-
Der wounded. The Germans probably
know how formidable is the task be-
fore them, because the place is in
tested with spies, but under existing
conditions the Germans cannot ignore
Antwerp and so have decided they
will try to occupy the capital even at
an enormous sacrifice.
