no better friend among the nations

can do more for her. There Is a

the people Of this country and Ger
many that is stronger than that exist
ing between the people Of this coun-
try and those Of any other nation.
Germany needs friends now and it

THE HILLS OF REST.

THE HILLS OF REST.
Beyond the last horizons rim,
Beyond adventures farthest quest
Somewhere they rise, serene and am
The happy, happy Hills OF Rest
Upon their sunlit slopes uplift
The castles we have built in SPAIN
While fair amid the summer drift
Our faded gardens flower again.
Sweet hours we did not live go by
To soothing note, on scented wing;
In golden-lettered volumes lie
The songs we tried in vain to sing.
They all are there: the days OF dream
That build the inner lives OF men;
The silent, sacred years we deem
The might be. and the might havo
been.
Some evening when the sky Is gold
I'll follow day into the west;
Nor pause, nor heed, till l behold
The happy, happy Hills of Rest.
