liam caused to be published proclama-

city for their patriotism and expressing
his pleasure that Coblentz had been
chosen as the first headquarters during
the war.
The significance of the removal of the
German military headquarters from
COblentz to an unknown destination is
difficult to estimate but the chanpa is
regarded as highly interesting.
The announcement by Paris paper

field. only tending those who would

There are many signs. according to
the dispatch, that the Germans suffer-
ed heavily at Mons. Returning REM
nants of those who were in the fight
spoke bitterly of British courage. One
force of $50 British, it is stated must
have accounted for thousands of Ger
mans. All along their line of retreat
they had prepared a defense made
with bags full of potash, found in q
neighboring factory. Through these
were placed Maxims and on top Ger
man helmets. The first time the Ger
mans came up to this seemingly
friendly line the Maxims spoke and
soon no Germans were left. Mons is
reported to have suffered heavily and
it's whole neighborhood has been de-
vastated.

Rudyard Kipling contributes the
following poem to the London
Times -nder the title For All We
Have and Are:
BY Rudyard Kipling.
For all We have and are
For all our children's fate,
Stand up and meet the war,
The Hun is at the gate!
Our world has passed away.
In wanton's overthrow:
There is nothing left today
But steel and fire and woe.
Though all We know depart,
In courage keep your heart.
Once more we hear the word
That sickened earth of old
No law except The sword
Unsheathed and uncontrolled.
Once more it knits mankind,
Once mere the nations go
To meet and break and bind
A crazed and driven foe.
Comfort. content. delight.
The ages slow bought gain,
They Shriveled in night
Only ourselves remain
To face the naked days
In silent fortitude.
Through perils 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 falls?
Who dies if England lives?
