SPANISH VETERANS
DON'T LIKE REMARKS
OF PORTLAND PASTOR

Waterville, Me, June 1s.-(SpeciaD.
Department Instructor William
I. Sterling Of this city addressed the
Spanish War veterans Of the National
Home at Togus Thursday evening. He
reports the members Of the camp at
Togus very indignant at the reported
utterances of Rev. Mr.. Joy Of Port
land. who was reported to have said
that he would prefer to- see the Japa-
nese or the German flag flying over
the National Capitol than to have
America go to war. In an interview
given a Bangor paper Mr.. JOY modi-
fed his utterance to the extent Of say
ing that he actually said that he would
prefer to see the japanese or German
flag over the Capitol rather than have
this nation surrender its ideals, but
this is kind Of idealism which does
not appeal to the Spanish War vet
Grams. according to Patriotic Instruc-
tor Sterling.

The One Language Brotherhood.

Upon the outbreak of the war it was
predicted in Amerika Esperantisto
that many proofs Of true Esperantism,
without regard to racial distinctions,
would be brought out during the con-
f1ict. We have already been con-
WINGED of the truth of this statement
and an article appearing in the Chi
cago Sunday Tribune MAY 81 still
further confirms our belief. This half
column article is not due to the inf1u-
ence of local propaganda work nor
was it sent by the national Associa-
ton. 1t reached the columns of this
important paper through the regular
channels of newspaperdom, in the
form of a special from Vienna. The
correspondent states that the Prayer
Tagblatt" prints letter from an Aus
trian soldier made prisoner by the
Russians. who tells of the great use a
knowledge Of Esperanto has been to
him in making known his wishes when
his own Language failed. His letter is
dated T. Siberia. He writes:
when I fell into the hands Of the
Russians, 1 first became aware of the
value Of neutral language. The little
green star which I always carry on my
person elected the curiosity of the Rus
SLAMS. 1t was called to the attention Of
Russian officer. whose face lighted up
when he saw it, and who Immediately
addressed me in Esperanto.
He asked me for news, wanted to
know II it was true that the whole Aus
TRAN army had been defeated in Galicia,
as reported in the Russian newspapers
and that the French had reached the
Rhine. When told him there was no
truth In 1t he was very much surprised
Thanks to this officer, l received ex-
cellent treatment and was sent to Mos
cow after few days. When I arrived
there the word had gone before me
that was student of Esperanto, and
soon three officers called on me and were
delighted to be able to speak in that UNI
versal language with a stranger /
learned from these officers that the min
ister OF war was decidedly favorable to
this language and that many of the Off
GERS had been studying it.
Later l was sent to Siberia. 1t was
an almost endless journey through the
cold and snow.
Upon my arrival here found quite a
group of students of Esperanto-some
Russians. some Hungarians, and several
Italians, and we all are able to hold con-
Versation which otherwise would not be
possible. While this section of Siberia
mas its discomforts and Inconvenience.
still we manage to enjoy ourselves fairly
well and live In hope that we will sooY,
De able to return to our fatherland."

Glass Ode

Four long years We have cherished
The good purple and the white.
Now we leave our Alma Mater,
Eager, each. to do the right.
Our struggles have been many,
But we've learned from them always,
So three cheers for 1915
And the school We love and praise.
Gladdest. saddest OF all days
Is this day when we must part.
Underneath our fun and laughter
Throbs regret in every heart.
Yes. with laughter and with yearning
Strangely mingled. now we raise
Three strong cheers for 1915
And the school we love and praise.
Harder struggles soon may claim us,
School Joys numbered in the past;
Bravely let US meet life's battles
Though We wish these joys could last.
But Just now let's all forget it,
And in Ton Penon let's raise
Hearts and voice for 1915
And the school we'll love always

county as to the whole exhibit. Mr..
