Well Ruhl: Since that far distant day you trailed
The Yellow Dragon of the Arid West
From painted canyon to the sea, nor failed
To note the conquered deserts thrilling test
Of struggling mans invinciblty,
You've travelled ever Ger the whole wide world,
Telling of its pleasing civilit7,
Till now you've the teeming nations hurled
Back into the lost ages remote
That primal brutes dire menace is at hand,
And he who's fought, with bloody budgeon smote
As might have fought our brute ancestral band
And now as man to man. rise to ask:
Whence came this pesti cnce of frightful hates,
Imposing death more piteous task
On frighted millions in the war wrecked states?
And, say who took the lid from off of hell?
What kultured people let him take it off?
What weakling priestcraft now can tell
OF welded God and devil, but to scoff?
'Tis not long since mans concept of God
Spoke to the world of love that reigned DER all
Zen to the dismal silence of the sod
That ever serves as universal pail.
And that most wanton fiend inspiring hate,
Arch fiend devil or satanic ghost
Antithesis of God it was, till late
Become inspirer of the warning host
But watt Now harken to yon distant cry
Invoking Gods aid for murderous deed
Like Tamerlane's-d divinity to lie
And blaspheme for the devil in his need.
Say Ruhl, what wild insanity is this?
Love is turned to hell God defending hate,
Mother love is seeking blood, not home bliss,
In twisted dogmas that are taught of late

hardest headway in the game to follow.
One flash against Brooklyn set their ad-
mirers cheering, but the flash passed
quickly and they are beginning to find
that an extra year doesn't add speed to

slump that started one June and is still
in evidence the next April begins to as

track and field was formally opened last

caused by the sand over which the

But our idea of no way to oust Ty
from the top is spotting him about 10
hits the first fortnight. Cobb has started
with tho old stuff still intact-up around
400. while Iris, of Texas, has been floun-

a few minutes to waste before breaking

DETAILS LACKING IN
LEEAWAWA SINKING

Washington, July 27.-Information
on one point-whether the captain of
the Leeanawa was requested to deliv.
er out the contraband in his cargo
and was willing to do so-is needed
by the United States government be.
fore officials can determine the ma
ture of the representation which may
be made to Germany on the destruc-
tion of the vessel by a German sub.
marine.
The Prusslan-American treaty of
1928 provided that the vessels of eth
or parties, when encountered in time
Of war, could not be detained if con-
traband was given up. Should it de-
velop that the Leeanawa's captain
was ready to surrender the contra
band, the United States will present
note regarding the occurrence of
a violation of that treaty.
A dispatch from Consul General
Skinner at London stated the captain
of the Leeanawa said that he was
given ample time to leave the snip
before being fired on.

Strike Is Over

New York, July 27.-Thc strike OF
employees of the STANDARD Oil com

lasted ten days and resulted in SER
ious rioting, during which three men
were killed and four injured, probably
is at an end. The strikers at an I'M

return to work and dispersed with
cheers.
The men voted on the promise of
the plant superintendent that he
would recommend an increase in
crease in wages and right any wrong
found to exist in the shops, if the men
returned to work forthwith.
This proposition was obtained by
John A. Moftitt, and James A. Smyth,

same proposal that was presented to
the strikers yesterday BY the sheriff
and which was rejected.

KITCHENER VISITS
WAR FRONT FOR
HIS FIRST TINE
Unknown to Troops He Views the
Operations of Allies
Army.
PARTICULAR INTEREST
SHOWN IN TRENCHES
PARTICULAR INTEREST

British Headquarters, France, July
27-An otherwise dull week at the
British front has been relieved by the
visit of Field Marshal Lord Kitchener,
which is the more interesting because
it is the first time he has been in the
area held by the British troops. His
previous trips to France have been for
conferences with General Joffre.
Probably not one out of a hundred
soldiers saw him. The army went on
with its work; he saw it at work and
chose what he wished to see.
Other distinguished visitors had had
prgrams laid out for them but he laid
out his own, which was revelation
of energy and precision in the amount
of ground covered. The only cere.
monious affair was a parade of Indian
cavalry which he briefly reviewed. AS
there is no speed limit on the main
roads in the military zone he was not
long in going from point to point.
When he left the car to go on foot the
officers conducting him found that it
took a good pedestrian to keep up.
Kitchener showed particular inter-
est in the trenches, fortifications and
all the conditions actually relating to
the real fighting. Il was a tic:,lish
moment for his aide and the officers
in command of that section when he
went to Ypres, which is still daily
subjected to intermittent shelling. 1t
is certain if the Germans had known
of his presence they would have given
more than a salute of seventeen guns
to which the secretary Of war is en-
titled,
