The news today tells of the death
in the war trenches OF John Kipling,
only son of Rudyard Kipling. The
words of his illustrious father at the
opening of the war are the brave
boys best epitaph:
No easy hopes Or lies
Shall bring us to our goal,
But iron sacrifice
OF body, will and soul.
There's but one task for all
For each one life to give.
Who stands if Freedom fall?
Who dies if England live?

MATT JARRELL.

It Is said Of Matt FARRELL. who was
executed at Moundsville on Friday.
that he was one OF the coolest me2
that ever went to the gallows in West
Virginia, but he prayed to his God in
the last moments. From the time ne
was taken to the penitentiary he was
always joking with his guards and
seemed to have absolutely no fear OF
death, and he knew, too, that there
was little chance that he would be
pardoned or his sentence COMMITTED
by the governor. A week before he
was executed, two other men were
hanged. After the execution he
viewed the bodies of the unfortunates
and remarked lightly: We'll. boys
this time next week I'll be with you "
1t is said on good authority that last
Friday morning FARRELL asked to be
executed at II o'clock in the morning,
and when asked the reason for his
request he stated that he wanted to
eat dinner in hell.
But with all his iron nerve and his
testing concerning his death, when
the last hours came he was different
man. He did not show any physical
signs Of weakening. but his mental at
titude was much different than it had
been for a few hours before. He con-
fessed his guilt, asked that his friends
and the prison officials pray for him
and the man who had made the ter
rible remark a few hours before,
dropped to his death from the galiows
with a prayer on his lips. His last
words were God have mercy"
There are many hardened criminals
who seem to have no respect for or
fear Of God. but when their last hc".s
on earth are fast passing, 1t is anoth-
er story. No matter how a man has
talked in respect to God while he was
in no fear of immediate death, when
that man comes to the place where he
must leave this world his last words
are generally a supplication to AL.
mighty God. whom he has refused 20
recognize or obey during his life
time, for mercy.

It is possible that England will not

gument to permit the re-establishment
OF cable communication with Germany,

English authority. But We think Il
would be better II consent were given.
Il would be decidedly to our interest

ton with Germany that was closed at

DR.. Gotlieb Won Jagow. the German
secretary of foreign affairs. was report
ed yesterday as saying that on &C.
count of British control OF the cables
America had been misinformed as to
Germany's motives. He declared him
self greatly concerned about the right
of free intercourse on the part OF the
neutrals with the belligerents on both
sides. But even If DR.. Won Jagow had
been insisting on the right Of neutral
persons to pass unmurdered over the
neutral seas. he would have departed
in no respect from the position OF his
own government as expressed in the
treaty Of 1925. The two engaged gov
ernments are again treating on this
subject. The discussion is approaching
the concluding stage. On which side
is Germany?-E. y. Sun.
