A Sonnet

By Mrs. P. A. Holly. The winds were singing to mo. one night, They orooned and sobbed the oldest mu-
 sic of the spheres, Out of the unknown they came laden, With such melodies, as seemed to me. To be wistful and eery of what can nev.r
 bel The burden of their lay--love, the soul s
 immortal thirst, But I had no need of talk or song; no
 need of love, Love would have hurt and frightened me, And l sat glad and silent and complete; l had no need in all the world, My heart was satisfied. It seemed so
 sweet To shut the door on life-and sit apart! With my free heart, with my free heart! And my life was song, as sweet as a
 vesper chime, And cloudless sky. and tropical cline, And oh! Love, l cried, spare me thy
 sting-thy dart And I'll sing thee, the sweetest song that
 ever thrilled the heart! But life's mystery came. | saw it
 laughing in the budding flower. l heard it triling in the skylark's songl And it is so strange-to you, my quick
 thoughts go. And stranger still I need you sol need

NATIONS DO NOT DIE, SAYS POPE BENEDICT
Letter to Heads of Belliger-. ent Countries Pleads for
 Exchange of Views

London, July 5o.-Q1:30 D. m )-Reu- ter's Rome correspondent says that tonights Osservatore Romano, official organ Of the vatican, prints a letter addressed Ny Pope Benedict to the heads of the belligerent countries in- vlting all friends of peace to unite with him in his desire to terminate the war. In this letter, written on the anniversary of the outbreak of the war, July 2S, the pope asks why there should not be initiated direct or in olreet change of views 'in an endeavor if possible to arrange aspirations so that all should be contented."
 The correspondent quotes from the letter as follows:
 It is our firm determination to de- vote every activity to a reconciliation of the people now engaged in this frat ricidal struggle. Today on the sad an niversary of the outbreak of this tre- mendous conflict there issues from our hearts an earnest prayer for a cessation of the war. It must not be said that this conflict cannot be set tied without armed violence. Put away
 
 fleet that nations do not die; if humil- lated and oppressed they prepare to retaliate by transmitting from gen. oration to generation hatred and a de- sire for revenge.
 Why should not a direct or an in- direct exchange of views be initiated in an endeavor, if possible, to arrange aspirations so that all should be con- tented? This is our cry for peace and we invite all friends of peace to unite with us in our desire to terminate this war and establish an empire of right, resolving henceforth to solve differ ences not by the sword but by equity and justice.
 We impart our apostolic benediction also to those not yet belonging to the Roman church

NASHVILLE CIVIC TROUBLES STILL
 IN HE L|MELIGHT.
Commissioner Alexander Is Enjoined-0ver 300 Bal lots Taken Without
 Electing Mayor

Nashville, July 30.--Developments In the Nashville city hall investigation came fast today after Circuit Judge Matthews had enjoned City Commis- sioner Alexander for exercising the powers of his office and voting for a mayor and other officials.
 Presiding Judge Wilson of the state court of civil appeals superseded the Injunction and the commissioners pro- ceeded tonight to vote on a man to fill the vacancy caused hy the suspension of Mayor Howze under the custer law. After voting for four hours and talk ing S0t ballots, the commission ad- journed until tomorrow without having elected a mayor.
 The vote stood: Whiteford R. Cole, one k. Boyte Howell, two. It takes the unanimous vote of the three remain ine city commissioners to make an election valid
 Commissioner Alexander opposed ad- journment. He said Attorney Stokes for the petitioning taxpayers had threat ened to put him in jail tomorrow and lie wanted to remain in session all night so that he would be sure the haNor would De elected Defore the al- loged threat was carried out. He charged that Attorney Stokes had se- cured the injunction against him to- Gay to hold over his head and he de- clared he resented the intimidation.
 Attorney Stokes today filed custer proceedings against Commissioners Stainhack and Alexander.
 Tonight he applied to Judge Wilson for n modification of the writ which set aside Chancellor Allisons appoint ment of receiver for tue city of Nashville. Judge Wilson refused the modification. declaring that he would never allo wa receiver for the mu- nicipality.
 Judge Grafton Green of the state su- preme court was appealed to today hy both sides In the litigation. Attorneys for the taxpayers prosecuting the re- ceivership proceedings asked for an or- der directing Judge Wilson to modify his writ which set aside the receiver ship decree. Attorneys for the city commissioners requested Judge Green to supercede the order of Circuit Judge Matthews which suspended from office Mayor Howze. Commissioner Andrews and City Treasurer Myers. Judge Green has asked all members of the supreme court to sit with him in Nashville Tuesday or Wednesday to hear the ar- guments.

 The officers are determined that the prohibition laws are going to be enforced so far as Lauderdale county is concerned
 So far as the information goes there is no disposition on the part of our people to violate the prohibition laws, and very little "boot-legging" has been carried on
 The shipments of whisky since the pro- hibition laws have gone in are very light. this is to some extent due to the fact that tltey secured a supply before the law went into effect, but that supply is about exhausted now.

BRITISH SYMPATHY
 VOICED IN JOURNALS
Editorials Express the Hope That Duke Nicholas Will
 Extricate Armies Safely

London, July 31.-(2:2S a. m. )-The London morning papers generally de- vote their leading editorial space to the Warsaw crisis, expressing British sympathy for the Russian people and the hope that Grand Duke Nicholas will be able to extricate his armies successfully. At the same time there is general inclination on the part of the papers to ask what the effect of the German achievement in the east will be on the western line. Many pa pers call attention to a Petrograd dis patch which quotes Colonel SumslSy, military critic of the Bourse Gazette:
 For the English and French. crit teal juncture is approaching when the Germans, hurling themselves with freshly assembled masses on France, will force decisive battle which will settle the issue of the campaign on the French front and at the same time probably the issue of the whole war"
 A characteristic editorial is that in the Daily Telegraph. which says in part:
 The whole heart of this nation goes cut III sympathy anu Sralltuue to Nus sia whose armies have withstood for three months the most gigantic effort of an enemy overwhelmingly superior ;n numbers and equipment German achieves a striking success as the result of plans conceived on a gi- gantic scale and carried out with su- preme determination at the price of incalculab1e losses. It remains uncer- tain to what extent the latest devel- of the German plan, especial ly in the north, may have interfered with the Russian dispositions; but In a few days we shall know the worst and the best"
 The military correspondent of the Times, discussing the possibilities of disaster to the Russian armies in re- tlrement, says that "it will be a diff cult retirement"

Calisthenics for Firemen

From the New York American.
 Eat firemen must be made into slim nremen without more delay. Fire Com missioner Adamson has decided
 But the commissioner isn't sending his 1000 men their anti-fat remedy In bottles. Instead the firemen are get ting their flesh reducer in the form of a book which explains In detail the calisthenics that both fat and slim fire nlen will have to go through after May 25.
 After a careful review of his men the commissioner 1t ise said saw that some of them didn't have enough work to do. The fewer fires they at tended the greater number of inches they added to their equators. There were but two possibilities, viz:
 To have more fires. or
 To give the fremen morning doses of ealisthenics
 Citizens might object If the first course wore adopted. the commission CT feared. much as the fremen would object to the second course.
 But the citizens won and the fire n,en-lost-that is, they are going to lose-flesh.

AMbASSADORPAGE
 ID RECEIVE NOTE
 WITHIN DAY OR 50
New Communication From Great Britain Will Be Ready in Two
 Days

Washington. July 3o.4The supple mental British note on the rights of neutrals at sea and blockade lines will be delivered to the embassy at London within a day or two, Ambas- sador Page reported today. It probably Will be released for publication early next week. Whether the original note received here last Monday and with heid from the press at the request of the British foreign office until the sup. piemental note could be dispatched will ne allowed to stand in its present form and also be made public has not been disclosed It is thought possible the en- tire British argument will be covered in the new note and the previous com munication be withdrawn.
 The new note, it is understood. deals at length with intricate questions of international law and argues the Brit ish position on at least two points not treated in the original note-detention of the American steamer Neches and the American caveat of July IT, de- olaring the orders in council would not be recognized as substitute for in- tcrnational law
 Meanwhile the state department has sathered much data on which to base d rejoinder that probably will be ready Tor President Wilson before he returns next week The British claim that fig lres on American exports show that large quantities of American cotton and even military supplies have reached Germany and Austria via Swe- oen. Denmark and Holland is being considered. All of these neutral coun- tries now have embargoes against re- eNportation of such goods Efforts of the state department to ascertain to what extent these embargoes have been violated have failed
 Naturally there are no records of an illicit traffic The lack of these sta tfstics may prevent the department from challenging successfully the Brit lsh figures which are based on the normal consumption of American goods by the neutral countries involved as disclosed by ante-bellum statistics and American export figures showing the value of the wartime trade with those countries

President Studies Situation

Cornish. N. H., July 30.-Presdent Wilson devoted much time today to a study of the Mexican situation He re- oeived from Secretary Lansing word of the note sent last night to Generals Carranza, Villa and Zapata urging that that railroad line between Vera Cruz and Mexico City be kept open for food shipments.
 The President Is particularly anxious that the Red Cross be given every fa- cflity for conveying food to Mexican sufferers and 1t is understood he feels that firm measures are necessary. He would give no indication here, how ever that the note sent last night is to be followed immediately by any further steps.
 The President believes that the first thing to be accomplished by the Uni ted States In Mexico is the work of re- lieving famine
