Oh. Chamber up high to the vault of

Far above all the muck Of the trenches;
Far above the quick ire of the maxim.

Far above all the reek and thu
stenches.
There's a puff from below in the llnes

Where a gunner is seeking to harm me-,
But 1 drop and rise from his bombs in
the skies
And l still am the eye of the armyi
For it's my Job to learn every sally and

OF the enemy right when they make it.
I'm sentry whose care is a post high
in air,
And it isn't for me TO forsake It
So I duck and I dip and dodge and
skip
From the aeroplane shells that would
mar me,
While the gunner with zest does his Sun
day school best
To put out the eye OF the army.
Now, there isn't much chance for the an

In these days of mechanical slaughter,
When we shed human blood In a horrible
flood
On the face of the land and the water,
But am not bound By the soldiers dull

For In wars mighty drama they star me,
And it's still a great game full Of glory
and fame

And streets like our own little village

Lie ruined and forlorn.
Our harvests wait unspciied the reaper's

many thousands of square miles TO the

years was re, eivel by overland mail
from Herschel island by the Canadian
naval service department.
The land which Stefansson discover
ed was northeast of Prince Patrick
Land. He spent three days on the land,
and FROM what he gathered he believes
it runs some 800 miles east, but not far
west. AS far north as he could see
there were mountain ranges. The land
had plenty OF game.
There were no evidences of musk
oxen, but plenty of bear and lots o.
caribou. The birds were very numer
Gus and focks could be seen flying

him to believe that the land ran north
a great distance.
Stefansson reports that he had "a
nice comfortable time" He and his
two men came through the rigOrs OF
the arctic winter in first class shape
and were fatter when they came out
than when they went in.
The explorer reports that he is well
provisioned. well supplied with sleds,
dogs and everything he requires and
has hardy and experienced men for his
new expedition. upon which he has al
ready started in the schooner Polar
Bear.
Last season he wintered at latitude
72, and this winter he expects to winter
at latitude 7G. or some 2J0 miles far
ther north. So that he will have that
much advantage when he makes his
dash again into the unknown regions
Of Beaufort sea.
He will. winter on Banks Land and.

which he reached last winter and to

Beard, II years of age and another
boy who came here recently from
Birmingham went out into deep water

over his head and he grasped the
larger one. They were somewhat
apart from the others and before helT
could reach them both had drowned.
The bodies had not been recovered

Lord Robert Cecil Issues a
Statement on England's
Position.
COTTON CANNOT BE
SENT TO ENEMIES
Says It May Be Necessary
To Place Staple On
Contraband List.
81 AssocIATED PREss-

London, Aug 13.-Lord Robert Ce-
ell, parliamentary under secretary for
foreign affairs, in a formal interview
today, defining Great Britain's atti-
tude in the cotton situation, declared:
the allies must by all lawful means
prevent cotton from reaching their
enemies. 1t may be considered neees-
sary to make cotton contraband"
At the same time he refrained from
any hint that cotton would be made
contraband at any specific date or
that the government had evolved any
solution to meet the demands of the
American cotton growers and neu-
trail consumers. He stated implicitly,
however, that if cotton were made
contraband, England would consid. :
the act legal and internationally justi-
fed. The statement was taken in
