OUR LITTLE BIRDS.


The following beautiful lines from
the pen OF Houston's sweet singer
Judd Mortimer Lewis. form a fittins
tribute 10 our dead songsters whose
little lives we're beaten out during the
fury OF the terrible storm:
I'VE looked for the song birds al
dawn.
But all the singing birds were gone
And Eyes-o'.Blue and Golden.Hair
Could hear nor see them anywhere.
They perched upon no fallen tree,
They carolled forth no song OF glee
Nowhere in all the morning sweet
Then Eyes-o-Blue found near her feet
With wings bedraggled. feathers torn
A little form. dead and forlorn.
Then Golden.i Hair found one. bird
Dead. beaten down. but said no word
And then. all In the sunlit dawn.
They knew where all the birds were
gone!
There were no song birds left to fly
In twitterings across the sky.
II was birdless world. And so
They turned them homeward. glad Il
70
From world which seemed all gone
wrong.
To mother-love and peace and song.

American pramatist Opportunity.

American playwrights, II seems, are
In a position to profit by the war as
we'll as American munitions manufac-
turers. According to Augustus Thomas
previous TO last August 60 per cent
OF the dramas. comedies and operettas
shown on the American stage came
from Europe and England. Now
"playwrighting is paralyzed through
out Europe for FIVE or ten years to
come" little can be looked for from
England. and
In this fact Is the American play
wrights golden opportunity. Not
since the night the first theatre in
America threw open its doors have
the writers OF American comedies

Young persons from every section

SAN FRANCISCO, July S.-A spec
ial dispatch to the Chronicle from
New York, says:
Germany plans to carry her sub
marine warfare into American waters,
according to a reserve officer of the
German navy, who is understood to
be cognizant of the intentions of Ad-
miral Won Tirpitz chief of staff of
the German admiralty.
"The plan as outlined provides for
the establishment of a submarine
base off the Canadian coast, with a
view of sinking every vessel leaving
Halifax and Quebec for British ports.
'The scheme can be carried out.
the Germans are sure, without any
question arising as to the legality of
the proceedings or the violation of
the Monroe doctrine.
I'm well informed German circles
rumors of an important submarine
campaign against contraband-laden
ships have been rife.
1T has been generally known that
Won Tirpitz has bent all his energies
to devising methods by which his
undersea fleet can prevent the great
quantities of munitions shipped from
Canada to England reaching their
destination. 1t is freely admitted also
that Germany is loath to risk another
such controversy with the United
States as that brought on by the Lus-
itania affair.
"Officers of the United States sub
marine service think it is the logical
step for Germany to take. Further.
United States officers in command Of
war vessels say that there is little
that could be done to thwart the Ger
mans. The only methods that could
be employed, they say, are embraced
In the use Of destroyers and air craft,
