A Christmas Carol

by CHRISTINA G. R0SSETTI
Lo, newborn Jesus,
Soft and weak and small,
Wrapped in baby's bands
BY his mothers hands,
Lord God Of all
Lord God Of Mary,
Whom his lips caress
While he rocks to rest
On her milky breast
In helplessness.
Lord God OF shepherds
Flocking through the cold,
Flocking through the dark
To the only ark,
The only fold. aa
Lord God Of all things,
Be they near or far,
Be they high or low,
Lord Of storm and snow,
Angel and star. ~
Lord God of all men,
My Lord and my God,
Thou who lowest me,
Keep me close to thee
BY staff and rod.
Lo, newborn Jesus,
Loving great and small
Loves free sacrifice,
! Opening arms and eyes
TO one and all

DENMARK FOR NEUTRALITY

Who Visited the Country.

travelling through Denmark for the news

the only possible policy for Denmark is
strict neutrality He explains:
"The people of Denmark have always
been happy and have lived in harmony.
They are energetic and well educated.
with a splendid culture. They no long
er dream of avenging the year 1864.
THE most that could happen. they
say to each other. would be to get Schles
wig Holstein back again. But taken as
a whole, the land conquered by Germany
in 1864 is now indisputably German.
Keil, for instance, is now thoroughly
German town.

incline towards any of the beligerents.
She prefers to throw IN her lot with the

points in the shares of various industrial
companies which are reported to have
received large orders for ammunition ano

American Locomotive made a maxi
mum gain of 1874 points, advancing to

S4A and Westinghouse Electric jumped
seven points to 80.
From these extraordinary advances
there were sharp declines of three to IL
points, Locomotive falling back to Sc.
Bethlehem Steel participated in the
rise to the extent of seven points and
numerous other specialties gained one to
three points.
Meantime, leaders like Reading, Great
Northern and United States Steel were

recent high figure. New Haven was a
feature of the minor railroad division,
rising three points in connection with
its recent successful financing,
The rise of the so-called war special
ties took the financial district by sur
prise. although signs of quiet accumuIa-
tion of these issues were seen in the re-
cent daily advances.
Sales in the first hour aggregated $780,
600 shares, with some reduction of ac-
tivity towards midday. Representative
issues were once more subjected to ex-
tensve selling for profits, with conse-
quent declines. A large proportion of
these offerings was again believed to be
for foreign account.
The war specialties failed to recover
to early maximum figures, except Air
Brake, which added five points to its
initial ll-point advance. Reactions in
this group ran from three to II points.
A bid of $4,000 for stock exchange

EMPEROR MORE POPULAR.
War Has Brought Increased Favor to
William.

London, April 1.-THE German EN-.
peror's popularity has been undoubtedly
increased with the war;" writes "a neu.
trail correspondent to the Times from
Germany. He is considered to be the
only man fit to serve as an example to
his subjects and he is at the same time,
embodiment of all they most admire.
His outward appearance, his mind, his
piety, and almost all his undertakings
are in accordance with the taste and
wishes of his people.
THAT he is clever, active, and in many
ways brilliant even his worstenemes
admit; most of his subjects, in their
idolatry, think him infallible. Among
the military caste, however. though
nothing is openly said against him, he
does not possess the same influence in
war. His generals seem to
have found way preventing him from
seriously interfering with the cam
paign."
