THE OLD CHRISTMAS HYMNS.

; 1t is good to think Of the old
. time Christmas hymns again as
the Day approaches; good to get
out worn hymn books, the pref
test for the piano rack, with
/. tunes as well as words, and play
and sing them over, just as we
should re-read, if pleasure and
duty join hands, the story OF
Scrooge and Marley's Ghost.
; 1t is even good to recall the
titles more or less familiar to all
of us, according to our bringing
up. There are Hail to the
Lords Amounted" LAS with glad
ness men Of old did the guiding
star behold" angels from the
realms of glory" and ''Hark,
what mean those holy voices"
each reiterating in rhythmical
melody the story of the ancient
chroniclers.
In the little church where the
flaring star poised bit INSTEAD
lily over the white head of the
beloved pastor, "Oh, come. all We
faithful" ushered in the day,
and no matter how fast sped the
minutes, how near the approach
of the dinner hour, or how ex-
pectantly youngsters thought of
unritied stockings, if the early
morning service invited them
there was always plenty of time
for "JOy to the world, the Lord
is come" when marShaled on
the mighty plain" Brightest
and best of the sons of the morn
ing" "Hark, the herald angels
sing" 1T came upon the mid
night clear" and that best loved
of all, "While shepherds watched
their t1ocks by night"

COUNT BERNSTORFF
REGRET
Statement Refers to events Of
War" and Is Understood to
Apply to Lusitania, Falaba
and GuIf|iqht Cases.

Washington, May 10.-Count Bern
storff, the German ambassador, called
on Secretary Bryan today and ex-
pressed deep regret that the events
of the war had led to the loss of so
many American lives"
After a half hours conference be-
tween the ambassador and Secretary
Bryan, the following statement was, by
mutual agreement, given out by the
secretary:
THE German ambassador called al
the state department and expressed his
deep regret that The events of the war
had led to the loss Of so many Ameri-
car lives"
While neither the ambassadors, MOI
Secretary Bryan's, statement mentioned
the Lusitania disaster by name, it was
known hat the two officials talked OF
it specifically. 1t was the ambassa-
doris first visit to the department since
the disaster. The secretary received
daily. When Ambassador Bernstorft
came from Secretary Bryan's office he
parried all questions by saying he could
not talk, being under a promise to Sec.
rotary Bryan that anything should be
said by the secretary. His only real
was that he had made no ap,
polntment with President Wilson.
Both Secretary Bryan and Count
Bernstorff refused to comment upon
the state departments announcement,
but it was interpreted as meaning that
ment, expressed deep regret not only
for h loss Of life on the Lusitania,
but for the Americans lost in the tor.
pedoing of the American steamer Gulf
light. and for the one American lost or
the Falaba.

FRANK SENTENCED
TO HANG June 2
Atlanta Man Convicted of Muir
dering Girl Still Denies
Crime-Hopes For
Exoneration.

Atlanta, Ga, May 11.-Lec M. Frank
today was sentenced to be hanged on
Tuesday, June %, for. the murder OF
Mary Phagan.
Frank, when brought before Judge
Hill to be resentenced, made this state
ment:
Again I stand before you. Again I
can but reiterate that l am innocent
Of the murder of Mary Phagan. I have
absolutely no guilty knowledge of that
tragic occurrence.
Il am innocent of this charge and l
assert hat the record of the evidence
c~onclustvely proves this. No appellate
tribune has ever passed upon this evil
dence. The only judge who has ever
heard 1t, stated that he had the most
serious doubts as to my guilt.
my execution will not avenge Mary
Phagan's death. A life will have been
taken for a life. but the real culprit
will not have paid the penalty. / will
suffer for another's crime.
my trust Is In God, who knows that
my protestations of innocence are the
truth. AT some future date the whole
mortal world will realize it. 1t Is the
knowledge that Gods knows 1T now,
and that the world will know it some
day, that inspires me and I stand be-
fore your honor and as / face the
future.
Anything else I might say at this
time would be but an elaboration of
my words to h court. Yet, 1 am fully
alive to the fact that my position is
most precarious. It is a situation which
is so far removed from anything that
my life and mental attitude could have
~bespoken. 1t is hideous, but at the
same time SO unreal, SO incongruous.
In the light Of the whole truth |
know-and the Almighty knows-that
the morality of my position in this case
is unassailable. This being SO, my
complete exonoration of his terrible
charge lies in the future. When that
day arrives, I shall be vindicated-and
ff 1 am alive, l will be enabled to en-
JOY freedom and honor. Therefore, ]
want to live.
THE full truth and all of the facts
in the case, when they come to light,
as some day they will, will prove to the
world that my assertion Of innocense is
the truth.
The legal arena is closed to me. The
bar is placed forever against further
legal process. Yet the issue Of gilt or
innocence. has been before one court,
that in which the jury sat. All SUISSE
quent appeals were made upon alleged
legal and judicial errors, not upon the
facts or the evidence.
Since the jury heard the case no
court of inquiry or review has sifted
the evidence. No decision of any Up
peals court undertook to predicate an
opinion on the record of the testimony
AND evidence. The doubt of the trial
judge as to my guilt still remains
