Can 1t Be?

We SILVER as we read the tale
OF slaughter done by Ghengis Khan.
Or Europe suffering the bale
OF Attila 1.-THE scourge and fall"
Or when the vikings overran
The early land Of Saxon king
And knee no pity. spared no soul
Such deeds of death u~p-conjuring.
The poets all our vitals wiring
And tell how man has paid the toll.
The wal gods of a thousand names,
"A thousand weapons. thousand fears:
OF stately cities set in flames.
Consumed even to their names
And shifting desert sands their biers.
But his we pictured as the past
And in our comfort thanked our fate
That man in different mold Is cast
Today, the world has seen the last
OF such Unreasonable hate.
But mild the work Of Tartar chief
OF Hun, Of Norman and the rest.
Beside this masterpiece Of grief
When man today drives all belief
In God and pity from his breast.
The thousand years of wisdom won
Are put to services of i'll!
Must all this fancy fabric spun
Be frayed, and all anew be done:
Can such, indeed. be heavens will?

RUBENS MASTERPIECE May
BE TAKEN ON AMERICAN TOUR
Artists Plan to Borrow Famous Paint.
ing From Belgium to Aid Her.

At the meeting of the artists con
nected with the art benefit sale for the
French Belgian relief fund in New
York the suggestion made by Kenneth
Frazier that an effort be made to Sc
cure for exhibition purposes in Amer.
lea n or more of the great master
pieces of art that the Belgians saved
from the cathedrals upon the approach
of the Germans met with instant ap.
pr0val.
The Belgian minister became inter-
ested in the plan. and through him the
committee hopes to induce the Belgian
government to permit an art loan that
would be without precedent. 1t is even
hoped that SO great a painting as Ru-
bens' descent From the Cross" may
be secured. This would bring a large
income to the relief fund. as undoubt-
eddy great crowds would be willing to
pay an admission fee to see such a
work. and Chicago, Boston, San Fran
cisco and other cities could in turn b.
visited with certainty of success.
Just what has become Of many of
the greatest Belgian treasures o. art
Is still a matter of conjecture. They
are variously reported to have been
sent to England. to have been sunk
in water tight metal tubes In the river
Scheldt and to have been hidden in
cellars.

Antwerp cathedral and is universally
regarded as Rubens' masterpiece, has

For Four Months.
Conversion OF "the army Of the un.
employed" into a reserve corps for the
army is the proposal advanced in a
bill introduced in the house by Repre-

Mr.. Britten would take 100000 Of the
unemployed and enlist them for four
months, after which they would be
discharged. subject to reserve duty TO,
a period of ten years. Mr.. Rritten be-
lieves that if these men were kept
drilling instead of loafing during the
winter months the country would be

ITALY UNDERTAKES
 A SERIOUS TASK

On the Italian Frontier, May 24-(Via Chiasso to Paris. May 25, a. m.)-Ital- ian newspapers give expression to the seriousness of the great task that Italy has undertaken.
 The Corriere Della Sera of Milan after comparing the strength of the Italian and Austrian fleets. warns the nation that a victory for Italy can be obtained only after grave sacrifices and hard trials. The newspaper says that submarines and mines have all tered naval warfare, giving the ao- vantage to the defensive navy and cites French and British losses through mines and submarines.
 Italy. according to Corriere Della Sera, must expect the same treatment The close proximity of the two shores of the Adriatic, it says, renders Italy more exposed than the northern al lies. The Austrian coast is ricn il, naval bases, the newspaper continues, while the Italian coast is without one secure national refuge.
 The paper exhorts Italians to meet all tests with patriotic discipline and manly spirit of sacrifice for the fatherland.

POET WANTS TO

Rome, May 24.-(via Paris 11:1o D. m.)-The poet D'Annunzio's ambitions to view a naval engagement from an Italian warship may go unrewarded He has had long interviews with the ministers of war and marine, but 1t is doubtful whether even the influence of the poet is sufficient to so far re- lax the storn rules of naval discipline as to admit his presence.
 The poet says the happiest hour of his life would have come if he could die singing the glories of his father land This, he declared, would he q thrillingly enviable fate.

tavus F. Swift of Swift & Co.,, Thomas S B. Wilson, president of Morris & Co.,; A. k. Brown of Schwarzchild & Sulber- ger, and other representatives of packing concerns.
 Reports had been circulated that the packers were threatening to cut off meat shipments to the European allies unless Great Britain would agree to give them relief in the situation that has resulted in tying up neutral shipments varously estimated as valued at s15,000,000 to s25,. 000,000. That any such threat had been made was denied.
 Urion has endeavored to bring about an understanding whereby neutral beef cargoes would escape detention by Great Britain Although he would not discuss the subject, it was understood tonight that he had returned from Europe with a proposal for his clients from the Brit ish government which would necessitate consultation with the state department officials.
 It is known that the department sug. gested sometime ago that more specific consignment designations be made by American packers.
