A SONG OF LEA YES

O Father Time, discard thy scythe!
Ills past the time for moving!
For autumn days are in the skies
And autumn winds are blowing
For all the grass is brown, alas!
The rose trees naked shiver
And autumn leaves are in the
sheaves
Or drifting on the river.
70 Father Time, discard thy scythe!
IT'S time the tools were shifted;
Since in the garden and the road
The windrowed leaves lie drifted
The talking leaves the laughing
leaves
That crowned the brow of June
Are dry and crumbled under feet
In Natures afternoon!
Like Joys of ours-Eke hopes of ours,
With light and beauty burning,
From day to day they drop away
Unstayed- and unreturning;
The scarlet leaves-the golden
A countless multitude
They strew the meadows lavlshly
And carpet all the wood.
O Father Time, make haste. make
haste!
The afternoon is waning;
And in the forest boughs l hear
November wind complaining,
And from the northern seas comes
down
The Winter Viking savage!
The lovely leaves, thou Genlus gray,
Let not his minions ravaSe!

the censorship Britain and her allies
are doing something tremendous in
the Balkans. just what the move is.
how a great force is being landed or
whence the men are coming Is not
known, but there is enough evidence
to show that the German drive to Con-
stantinopls is not going to be COM
pleted without the fiercest kind of op-
position.
Newspapers of Berlin, according to
the correspondent of the Exchange
Telegraph company at Amsterdam, say
the allies have landed 100000 men at
Saloniki, Greece, and that the trans

additional advance of 40,0OO,OOO
francs '(ss,0o0.000).

Rome that the sinking was the work
of a German submarine. The German

destruction of the coast Of Spain for
several days, a Japanese ship having
been sunk of Gibraltar last week.
These submarines may have been ly-
ing in wait for one Of the big Italian
liners.
The fact that the Ancona was bound
for America makes it unlikely that
any American citizens were aboard,
although it is quite possible that some
Americans may have boarded her at
Genoa on the return from Germany
via Switzerland. She arrived at &C.

Captain Massardo was In command

The Ancona was steel twin.screw

force him to forsake his ideals OF

peace which comes of knowing that
he never violated his conscience. He
has the supreme satisfaction of know

life whom he could save while eXecu

have learned to love him.

was discovered where a portion of his
