MISUNDERSTANDING of State
Lansing said the Hesperian case is a
closed matter. He indicated that
Germany's attention would not be
called to the matter in any way un-
less there are further developments.

part of marine mine.
Germany has made 20 the United
States a qualified disclaimer of re-

MUSINGS
By Beau Esprita

1t is good to live in house by
the side of the road, where passing
men go by. 1t is good to look on
the stream of life as it eddies round
your door. But tits best to be in
the midst of the steam, to ride on
its current high and strong, to rise
with it's tide and to fall with it's ebb
on the shore.
1t is joy to stand on the rock
bound coast and look on the mig hty
waves, to list to the song which they
ever sing,to thrill with their mighty
power. But the joy of joys is to
reach from their crests a helping
hand that saves some trifling bauble,
a shell or weed that is torn from it's
deep fathomed bower. We stand
too oft by the side Of the road. we
look too oft on the stream of life,
on the mighty waves, but we 90
abroad too little to cope with the
joy of their strife. OF course. it is
safer to stay IN the house, and the
buttressed rock is as safe as a vault,
and we can't get hurt if we stay on
the bank Of life's stream of blind
and halt.
But, oh the mercy it is to see a
broken toy that our hand can mend
to please child! And NAV it be
that the toys heart and the patch
but friend? True happiness is
but to lift for while from some
weaker shoulder a heavy load, to
breast life's stream with CHEEKY
smile, to leave your house by the
side of the road.

Somebody is always knocking"
him, the whole world turks about in
dark corners with a piece OF pipe to
try and lay him out; everyone is
dead-agaipst' him, he can never
