Before Iiege the ground is waste and
torn;
Upon the field, stark dead, soldier
lies;
His uniform is red and rent and worn,
The dust is blown across his sightless
eyes
That stare as they meet death in
swift surprise.
The soldiers hands have stiffened in
their grip;
One on his gun. the other on the
ground:
The curl of hate is on his livid lip;
For him the bursting shell shall
make no sound;
Unnamed, unmarked shall be his
burial mound.
Glad was the heart of the mother,
AS she cuddled her boy to rest,
And his tiny hands pressed warmly
The wealth of her ample breast.
Proudly she saw him toddle
From table to kitchen chair;
And she marked how the sunshine
gilded
With splendor her baby's hair.
Was it for this she bore him?
Kings and commanders, say!
For the baby's hands are stiffened
In death at Liege today.
Beside his bench the sturdy workman
stands,
His tools are welded by his stalwart
hands,
His products win the wealth of far-off
lands.
Rejoicing in his tasks. he tolls and
He builds the commonwealth of useful
That undergirds the passing pomp of
kings.
Today before Liege those hands are
cold;
A tide of murder DER the meadows
rolled.
And peaceful labor's funeral knell was
tolled.
Warm were the winds of April,
Soft was the summer night.
AS the pair of village lovers,
Strolled in the waning light.
Fair was their shining vision.
Good were the waiting years,
And neither had room to harbor
Forecast of bitter tears.
Simple and true and tender,
Loving and unafraid,
In the village among the mountains
The workman won the maid.
/ Never again the pressure,
| Never the close, warm breath;
The hands of the brave young husba nd
| Are stiff in the chill of death.
| 1t was fortnight yesterday
| When the glittering regiment marched
away.
A trembling woman stood close by,
| Holding him up, SO high, so high,
Her laughing boy. that father might
wave
! His last fareWell-sO brave so brave
To lad and mother, too proud to cry.
Swinging his hand: Goodby-goodby.
Hands that waved to mother and child
Clutch at the rife, by blood defiled.
Is it worth while? Let the orphan say
This is the price that the red kings
pay.

MAY DECLARE CARRANzA
 PRESIDENT OF MEXICO
Representative of State Department Goes South and Explains Plan United States to Bring Revolutions End~-
 Villa Is Losing His Ground

According to what is reported here today, the President of the United States has decided that it would not be good policy to intervene in Mex lea as long as there is no official head to the nation. Such an act he believes, would mean the loss of many lives and the necessity of the United States keeping up a con- stant warfare for an indefinite time.
 On the other hand if Carranza is recognized as the president of the Republic, it will be possible to pro vide him with all the assistance he needs in bringing peace to Mexico, without causing the world at large to think that the United States is trying to absorb the country
 Mr Carothist will gain what infor- nation he can at this place, and will then go into Mexico. It is understood that he will not be the only representative of the state de- partment detailed to investigate Car ranza, but that others will go to Vera Cruz, and perhaps to Carranza's headquarters to carry on a similar investigation.
 General Villa has previously an nounced that he is tired of warfare,

 Declared Degrading

SAN FRANCISCO, July 18.-In his address at the exposition grounds yesterday when the famous old Lib- erty Bell arrived, Champ Clark, speaker of the house of representa- tives of the United States. declared that the policy of peace at any price," is degrading to any coun- try.
 The speaker said that he was not in favor of war, but he declared that if war is necessary for the maintenance of national honor. 1t should not be avoided. However. he declared that he is opposed to militarism, though he is much in fav- or of the country's being prepared for war Being prepared for war. he asserted, is the only way to pre- vent it honorably.
 The old Bell was received with one of the most enthusiastic demonstra- tions ever witnessed in this city. It headed a big parade which went from the Ferry building to the ex- position grounds, where 1t was duly draped and placed on exhibition. fol- lowing the patriotic exercises that were held in its honor.

ORDUNA INCIDENT
 REGARDED SERIOUS.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 1S.- Members of President Wilson's cab inet intimated in interviews today that the attempt of a German submarine to torpedo the steamer Orduna with out warning the Americans on board of their danger will almost certainly complicate the diplomatic contro- versy between the United States and Germany. They declare that the situation is serious.
 It is pointed out that the Orduna was saved only through the poor mark ksmanship of the Germans, who wasted several torpedoes on the yes sel The Orduna was too fast for the submarine however, and made good it's escape before being struck.

FL PASO. Texas, July 1S.-That the United States is planning to recognize General Carranza as the head of the Mexican government was made known here today when George Carothist, a special repre- sentative of the state department of the United States, arrived here today, and explained that he is go- ing into Mexico to investigate and report upon the advisablity of of fcially recognizing General Carranza as president of the Republic.
 MT Carothist refused to talk about the matter to any great eX- tent, but he intimated that the United States is determined in one way or another to put a stop to the war ring in Mexico, and if it is found that Carranza is capable of becom- ing the temporary head of the na- tion until an election can be held, he will probably be officially recog- niZed as such.
 It is understood that if the Unit ed States recognizes Carranza as president, the other foreign nations will do likewise, and this will have a tendency to discourage the other revolutionists from further fighting.

ECONSTRUCTiON WILL START AS SOON AS GROUND
 CAN BE CLEARED.

VALDEZ, July 18-This city wiu recover from it's destructive fire of few days ago just as fast as the work can be accomplished Already plans for new structures have been made by many of the business peo- pie who lost their buildings, and as soon as the debris is cleared away, the work of construction will start.

 According to the official figures. the loss from the fire totals in the neighborhood of $350,O00. The total insurance on it all was $100000. One of the reasons for the rapid spread of the fire was that there had been no rain for weeks, and everything was dry. The strong wind carried the flames from one dry building to another so rapidly that nothing could check them
 The work of clearing the ground is proceeding rapidly, and already eight blocks are free from debris. The dock and warehouses were saved but the approach to the dock was burned. The stamp mill was saved.

LED FRANKS THROAT CUT
 BY CONVICT
DEATH MAY YET WIN IN MO- POROUS CASE OF
 MURDER.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga, July 1S.- Leo Frank, whose efforts to escape the galows for the killing of pretty Mary Phagan, shop girl, have at tracted the attention of the entire United States, may die in spite of the fact that his death sentence was recently commuted to life impris- onment.
 In the dormitory of the peniten- tiary at this place last night, Will liam Green, who is also serving term of life imprisonment, cut Franks throat, and the doctors de clare that his recovery is doubtful. Frank declares that his days are numbered.
 The attack on Frank was made while the latter was asleep. Greer was caught soon afterward and when charged with the crime confessed to it. He explained that he was led to do the deed by the belief that by killing Frank he was doing society service Somehow, Green had heard the history of the Frank case, and his sympathies were with the murdered girl
 Among the prisoners in the dormi' tory were two convict surgeons who administered first aid to the injured man. Although the cuts in Franks throat are deep and bled freely, the wounded man was able to talk. rhe first thing he said was:
 "I guess he got me this time."
 This morning Green said he was sorry for what he had done. He explained that he believed at the time that he was doing a great deed, but that he has since began to regret it.
 Leo Frank was the superintendent of a pencil factory at Atlanta, and according to the evidence produced at his trial, he brutally wronged the beautiful Mary Phagan, then killed her Then he forced the negro jan itor to hide the body. It was the tes- timony of the negro that convicted Frank.
 Franks case was appealed two or three times to the supreme court. but he lost out each time. Then the Jewish people of the country, of which he is one, took up the legal fight in his behalf, but they failed to induce the Georgia author ities to pardon him. Later the le' tiring governor commuted his sent ence. This act on the part of the retiring governor aroused the people of Atlanta to such an extent that they would probably have murdered the governor, had not the state mi litia protected him. After the gov ernor retired, he and his wife left Georgia for an indefinite trip, and about that time Frank was sent t1 the prison farm at this place.

France Loses Some
 Foreign Commerce

PARIS, July 1S.-The foreign com merce between this country and for eign countries has decreased wonder fully since the war started. This is due partially 10 the change in economic conditions, and partially to the submarine blockade being con- ducted by the Germans.
