A Man Without a Country.

One Of the most tragic figures in the world
today is Henri Koch, the lieutenant Of the nterned
auxiliary German cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich,
who broke his parole, left Norfolk and was cap
tured by the British naval authorities in the North
Sea.
Doubtless the motives which mpelled the
young officer to break his oath the highest
possible in time of war-the motives of patriotism.
But even his country will not condone so grave an
offending against the simplest rules of honor. Had
he appeared at German port with the stigma of
parole breaking black against his name, he would
have been disowned, dishonored and dismissed
from the service to which he has done poor
credit. .%.-. ..
To be shot as spy in the service of ones
country is honorable But the who breaks
parole puts himself beyond the pale of the COM
pany of arms. He is man without a country
and deservedly so-New York Mail

THE PRESIDENT MAY SAY

My friends and legislative patriots!
Both We who represent adjacent spots,
And We who from the fertile West repair,
With hopeful hearts and barley in your hair,
Ye whom the fire Of old Kentucky thrills,
Free as her mountains, fragrant as her hills,
And We remote but not uncultured tribe
Whose fruitful wales the Western bards describe,
Where refcrendums grow and real estate
Accumulates in value while you wait;
The cream the essence, of the nations nous
(Excusc my talking Creek will now proceed
To satisfy the nations every need
tOmtting not, en- passant. to uncork
The customary zeal for party pork!D
And first our fleet. There are, as oplnc,
Bounding upon the circumambient brine
Naves that, though inferior otherwise,
Largely surpass our own in actual size,
Whose owners now Injured to shedding gore,
Finding us weak, might come and shed some more.
And then the army! Though, as ! am told.
Our soldiers rcSourceful strong and bold
Their numbers inadequate to foil
The deSecrators OF sacred soil,
Or keep our sacred Treasury intact
Till the deserving Democrats can act.
There arc some mcn--leSS men, indeed than
Whose souls arc pledged to peace at any price,
Among whose ranks il pains me to descry
William the Whisper, murder in his eye,
Who would preserve us. in our present plight
Too unprepared besides too proud to fight
They mean quite WELL but fail to realize
How succulcnt look to hungry eyes
Guns and not gas should be first defense.
Let's buy few and bother the expense!
Next, you'll have noticed, just across the water.
Our foreign friends arc occupied with slaughter,
While we enjoy bcnehccnt increase
Grit BY a pleasing atmosphere of peace.
Not altogether tho, for here and there
factory is blown into the air
Or some enthusiastic Teuton slips
brace Of bombs upon our merchant ships.
The forger flouts and the
Transfers the giddy struggle over here,
And what with their Won Papens and Boy-Eds
know we'll all be murdered in our beds.
But let us still be patient! Some fine day
The Germans will apologize-and pay!
What moref o, yes! There has been, you know
Some slight disturbance down in Mexico,
And even some mild symptoms of disorder
Have been observed upon Southern border.
A trifle gentlemen! That happy land
That Herr Carranza has we'll in hand
Already smiles again beneath the toll
OF the untrousered children of the soil.
And then the PhilippinesL Shall we refuse
The blessed suffrage to the Sululuse,
Or fail to let some Democrat devote his
Forensic fervor the lggorotes?
And lastly-since the hour is growing late
We need some coin to oil the wheels of state
It's not for me to name the actual sum
Or tell you whence the stuff is going to come.
Democracy is never at loss .....
For some method OF acquiring dross.
Wherefore my friends, go to it! Shoot!
Begin!
God bless you all, and may the best man win!

suddenly saw him in another light
They then saw. what they might
have seen at first: that he was Of the
West, not Of the South.
He stood. a. all other Western men
did. for the principle that every su.n-
munity must have its own life in the
free partnership IL had formed, and
its own unhindered. unbidden develop
ment, unchecked by the national gov
ernment; for he believed that to be
the end and object of the Union, to
make the States secure of their In.

ward In their own ways.
But there was an infection of na-
tional feeling. too. upon the stirring
frontier where he had been bred which
no man could escape; q sense as of q

tinental scale: an ardor e. broad
schemes and vast achievement, in
bands united and backed by the ma
tion's power.
The legitimate sphere of state SOW
ereignty" did not, when projected
there upon the prairies. encrosch upon
the equally legitimate sphere OF the
federal power. The two were insep-
arabic parts of a single conception
No frontiersman reasoned subtly
upon them: instinct and the spirit OF
conquest resolved all doubts and dis
countenanced all refinements Argu.

When they do there won't be any need of worry

The words express the zeal OF the convert
Herrick takes on the contemptuous point of view
once directed against himself. What he has dis

Nothing else it would seem, in our present stage

the ordeal, can ever live. For life cannot be
measured by time comfort or enjoyment 1t IS

years OF normal existence. The youths whose
graves now dot the pleasant fields OF France have
