Can 18th century poem.)
OFT in the Silly night
Ere slumber's chain has bound me
Fond memory brings thu light
or other days around me;
The smiles, the tears OF boyhood's
years,
The words Of love then spoken;
the eyes that shone
Now dimmed and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken.
Thus In the Silly night
Ere slumber's chain hath bound me,
Sad memory brings the light
OF other days around me.
When I remember all the friends
So linked tog ether,
I've seen around me fall.
Like leaves in wintry weather,
i feel like one
Who treads alone
Some banquet hall deserted,
Whose lights are fed,
Whose garlands dead,
And all but he Departed.
Thus in the Silly night
Ere slumber's chain has bound me
Sad memory brings the light
OF other days around me.

MUCH INTEREST
OVER PROTEST
Complaint by United States to Eng
land 10 Popular Topic Of
Discussion.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Seryice.l
e. WASHINGTON, Jan. /. New
Years greetings and gayiety were
given serious blow today by general
discussion and careful study Of the
note to Great iritain On interruption
of United States. commerce. The
American protest has been engrOssed
for, officials and diplomats and private
citizens. 1t is a signal for great activ-
ity in the embassies, legations and
chancelIories OF the diplomatic corps.
Gable wires almost idle generally on
holidays, were hummfng with reports
Of the American note to their govern
ments by foreign representatives. The
department was stormed with re-
quests for copies Of the note by diplo-
mats, senators and representatives.
Satisfaction was generally expressed
in Official circles at its pacific tenor.
The state department announced
today that it will shortly make public
complete list OF American vessels
detained and searched by British
warships. This list is said to COM
prise two score ships.
From foreign diplomats it was learn
ed that similar bills of complaint
reciting seizure and search of neutral
vessels and cargoes are being con-
sidered by several other nations, par
ticularly Norway, Sweden and Dem
mark. Doubt was expressed whether
Italy, also, because OF her strained
situation would enter protest to Great
Britain. Solicitor Johnson of the
state department is also preparing a
lengthy document to accompany the
list OF ships detained, which MAJ be-
forwarded to the British foreign Of
fee sppplementing the note of pro
test. This will give in detail the legal
precedents relied upon by this govern
ment to enforce the generalizations Of
the note.
Officials expressed doubt today
whether the alleged policy of japan in
the Pacific, OF which complaint has
already been made in congress by the
Pacific Mail Steamship company,
would cause the filing with japan of q
note similar to that given Great Brit
ain. They declared that Japan's activ-
ity had not been SO extensive or Of
so serious interference to American
SHIPPING as that of England. Repre-
sensations in individual cases to Jap
an 1t is believed, would be sufficient
without resorting to the blanket pro-
test adopted in the negotiations with
Great Britain. While the formal
protest Of the Pacific steamship con-
Germ is expected to be filed with the
department shortly, officials point out
that the lettering influence on COM
merce to the orient from the Pacific
coast, has been due chiefly to two
causes-presence Of German, British
and japanese fighting squadrons in
the Pacific and withdrawal Of the big
Japanese merchant fleet from COM
merce there because Of the danger OF
capture and the need Of the Japanese
government for vessels for naval pur.
poses.
