The issue is too grave for precipitate action.
Germany has received solemn and reiterated
warning that If American lives were de-
stroyed by repetition of the crime of the
Lnsitania, the fragrant violation of law and

done what the world believes she has done,

OF American lives.

United States should he certain of the facts

We miss our little one so much,
We miss her every hour;
She shed her fragrance in our home
Just like some pure. sweet Hover.
We miss her in the early morn,
We miss her words so mild;
Oh. Father. help us TO submit
To live without our child.
She came TO us, our sweet first-born,
Oh. how We thanked our God.
Oh how we pray for strength just now
To walk beneath the rod.
Our home is dark and desolate.
Our dear child fell asleep;
We miss her presence everywhere,
We turn aside and weep.
She was our bud of promise,
She unfolded every hour;
We thought that earth could never
smile
Upon as fair a flower
But now she's gone to grace the home,
The home where angels dwell
Dear Lord help us to bow and say,
I He doth all things well.
I Ave Maria Mother. dear.
We're pleading at thy feet.
/ For well we know that thou canst
give
Us comfort pure and sweet;
And though in darkness now we
grope
To find the nail-torn hand;
: We know a brighter day will dawn
And we will understand.
