Finds LIssauer Repentant.

London Aug. 14-The Amsterdam correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says:
 Even Ernst Lissauer appears to be becoming ashamed of his Song of Hate He writes to the Berlin .TagebIatt. saying he agrees with; it's view that the song is not intended for the young, and he has often advised against it's publication in school books. The Song of Hate" he writes, was written as a result of a passionate impulse in the first week of war, when the impression created by Eng1and's declaration of war was fresh.
 . The song. he writes, is a politi- cal poem directed, not against the in- dividua1 Englishman, but collectively against the English will to destruc- ton which threatens Germany. In the excitement of those days my feel ings were deeply stirred by this. Whether these feelings can continue with the cool consideration of prac- tica1 politics is another question

Dying Boy Will See
 Big Ships That's All

New York, Aug. 14-Freddie Smith, the dying boy in Kings County hospital. Brooklyn, whose published wish that his whole desire before he died was to look upon the big ships as they steamed in and out of New York harbor, will see the ships all right.
 About 20 pairs of marine glasses and a dozen spyglasses have been left at the hospital for him. Many women called. too, with candies, flowers and toys-especially the things Freddie said he wanted most. aside from the glasses with which to see the big ships-a set of mechan- ical instruments.
 All this was fine for Freddie, and in addition there was the offer of big hearted William H. Webster of 1916 East Twenty-fourth street, Brooklyn, that he would pay Freddie's expenses indefinitely in Colorado, New Mexico or any other health resort if the. doc tors could say there was. a chance for the Httlef ellow.
 But Webster's good offer is of no avail. Dr. John Parrish, an eminent

specialist, went to the hospital yes .terday and made an exhaustive exam inatfon of Freddie. The distinguish ed physician was obviously affected when he left the ward.
 .~rhere isn't a. chance for him." he said .sHe couldn't even stand the tourney to the West, to say nothing of his having any chance of being cured when he got there."
 Unconscious of this, verdict, Fred die sat up on the roof of the hospital making his choice of glasses with which to look out upon the bay. But a mist hung over the waters and he could only vaguely make out the ships. The nurses told him surely the sun would be shining, the waters bright and his 1onged-for spectacle awaiting him when he arose today.
