over backward-the last of mankind
on this dead earth!
They have now covered up our hot
breath with earth. Why are you
blinking at me with your bleared
eyes, my brother? Are you not glad?
Don't they envy us our sweet death?
They have laid US out in pictur-
esque row, and you need only turn
your head to rub against human
flesh at once, and if you turn your
yellow eyeban you can see nothing
but corpses in the twilight One be-
side the other, that is how they are
sleeping. And corpse upon corpse,
ever more of them, through the
whole length of the loose soil of the
potato-field, and we even fill the
whole adjoining field of roots.
We poor dead heroes! So do not
disturb our last sleep any longer. We
had to- die to enable the others to
live. We died for our native land in
it's straits. We are victorious now,
and have won land and fame, land
enough for millions of our brothers.
Our wives have land, our children,
our mothers, our fathers have land.
And now our poor native land has
air to breathe. 1t need no longer be
stifed. They have cleared the air of
us. They have got rid of US, of US
who were far too many. We are no
longer eating the bread away from
other folks mouths. We are so full
fed, so fulfilled and quiet. But they
have got land! And ore! Iron mines!
Gold! Spices! And Breadi
Come, brother philosopher, let US
turn our faces to the earth. Let US
sleep upon our laurels, and let US
dream of nothing but our Country's
Future.

war with Spain, now an attorney in Ha-
vana, transmitting greetings from Ha-
vana Camp, No. 1, United Spanish War

AIM TO BAR RED TAPE
FROM CUSTOMS SERVICE
Treasury Adopts Economy and Eff
fciency Recommendations
Made by Collectors.

Economy and efficiency recommendations
made by the conference Of customs col
iectors in New York. November BIO, last
year. have been adopted by the Treasury
Department, and will become immediate
ly effective at all customs ports of the
United States.
A saving of from 100000 to $1500O0
a year is expected to result from the new
order of things. The recommendations
were aimed to cut out some part of the
useless red tape and duplication of work
in the customs service and to decrease
the cost of operation
A further saving, 1t is expected, will
on revision Of tho customs regulations,
recently appointed This revision also
was suggested by the collectors con-
ference In New York. A year probably
will oe required to complete Its work.
The customs service is making tre-
mendous efforts to lessen the cost OF
operation.
Last year. before the reorganization plan.
amalgamating many customs ports in
customs divisions. was put into effect,
the expenditures for the customs serv-
ice amounted to s10.930.000. The ap-
preparation for the fiscal year ending
June 80 is $40. 10000. or S7S0.000 less
deficiency appropriation of from $780,
900 to $350,000. it is believed, VIII be
necessary to meet all expenses this
year, it is estimated, still affecting a
saving Of more than 100000 over the
fiscal year 1913

Abraham Lincoln.
To the Editor Of IN. Star.


The 18th day of February, next to
the 22d of February. should forever be
nonored In commemoration of a great
American whose career along every line
OF human endeator reflected the high
est and noblest traits, and whose acts
throughout a wonderful career stimu-
lated his fellow-men. and who. as a
final sacrifice. gave up his life SO that
the republic. which he had helped to
preserve, might live forever
Abraham Lincoln was not only the
highest type of our American civiliza-
tion, but was the highest type of man
hoon. whose nobility of thought, un-
selfish devotion to the best ideals of
humanity. has endeared him to all
iiberty-loving people throughout the
world. and SO it was not strange to me
when on the upper banks of the
Nile. In 1881, found native Egyptians
eulogizing the great emancipator and
speaking of his wonderful career with
reverence, affection and admiration.
Indeed. his memory is SO embalmed In
the hearts of his fellow-men that the
knouted and prosecuted Russian Jew
coming from the land of his birth, is
at once interested in the history. not
only of the republic. but of Abraham
Lincoln, whose name had been per-
mitted to enter the pale. and whose re-
ligfous spirit and reverence for God
'ldu inspired even InSSe O3IFaC1Ze0 men
and women to be patient, forbearing
and hopeful In paying this loving and
deserved tribute to Abraham Lincoln it
does not detract one jot or iota of ad-
miration from George Washington. The
one founded. the other preserved. the
republic, and both names should for
ever be linked together in that spirit
of comradeship and brotherly love for
which both gave the best that was in
them. and 1T has been. for more than
u century. the rallying cry of the op-
pressed and downtrodden throughout
the world.
Washington, of course, is merely a
great name and tradition to me. but
Abraham Lincoln is a reality whom
knew personally, whose creative genius
Of not only the republic. but of the
individually prosecuted I reverenced.
Oh more than one occasion l had the
privilege and honor of speaking to the
lamented martyr. and at each inter
view my esteem grew, for, above all
other gifts, he was human and humane.
This is not the time or place to enter
into the details as to these interviews.
The time may come IN the near future
when / will under my "reminiscences,
give d clearer insight in the grand
characteristics which were the bed
rock of his nature. Let US, as Ameri-
| cans, longing for unity OF all men on
the lines of broader humanity. cling
with deathless affection to the memory
| of this Great commoner. whose frame.
though gaunt. whose face, furrowed
with the wrinkles of care and sorrow,
| stands forth in the Valhalla of fame
| as one of the noblest American Inn

Is the Design First Recommended.
Abraham Lincoln.

Men call him great. where once ~ o.d
They calId him despot. ruthless, cold.
Like bloody cutlsss keen:
His brow. that now the wreath adorrs,
Long bore the crown OF cruel therns
Worn by the Nazarene.
Men heard his soul IN anguish cry.
And, tho unworthy to unite
The very shoes he wore.
His cup of grief hll'd TO the brim,
And bade him drink till stars grow din
On the eternal shore.
Full arn'd with wisdom forth he sprang,
While critics curs'd and faint praise rang
To damn his noble name;
Yet prophet-iike Times voice still rings:
Make straight the way. a King of kings
Rides down the path OF fame.
This nation long as time shall run
VIII glory In this south born son.
Who wrote With gifted pen
A prophecy Of that fair day
When God shall write hencetorth for aye.
