Thou little voice! Thou happy sprito
How didst thou gain the air and light
That sinS'st SO merrily?
How could such little wings
Give thee thy freedom from these dense
And fetid tombs--these burrows whence
We peer like frightened things?
In the free sky
Thou sail'st while here VIC crawl and
creep
And fight and sleep
And die.
How canst thou sing while Nature lies
bleeding and torn beneath thine ewes,
And the foul breath
or rank decay hangs like shroud
Over the fields the shell hath ploughcd?
How canst thou sing, so gay and glad
While all the heavens are filed wifi,

And all tho world is mad?

CONFERENCES COME
TO AN END WITH NO
AGREEMENT MADE

New York, Dec. 29.-Conferences be-
tween representatives of the railroads
and the four brotherhoods of railway
employees, at which were discussed the
possibilities of a settlement of the
eight hour controversy, were discon-
tinued abruptly yesterday when it be-
came apparent an agreement could
not be reached.
1t was announced by both sides that
there would be no more meetings until
after the United States supreme court
hands down it's decision on the con-
stitutionality of the Adamson act.
The break came when the railroad
representatives refused to concede the
demands of the brotherhood chiefs for
an agreement of the new wage sched-
ule fixed by the Adamson law, which
goes into effect January 1.
The brotherhood chiefs held that
their men had the right to begin draw
ing wages according to the scale pro-
vided by the Adamson law, which
goes into effect January 1.

several days the entente re-

been completed. It will not
be sent until it has been

1t probably will be forward

of the final form which the

lieved to be such that it will

The reply to the American note will
follow within a few days after the
delivery of the reply to Germany.
REPLY LONG DOCUMENT.
The reply Is a very long document.
This point has been one of the mat
ters of discussion during the confer
ences. objection having been raised
that 1t was too long and should be
short and sharp. But there were SO
many points for elucidation and such
complete difference in the conception
of the objects and purposes for which
the two sides went to war that it was
found desirable to extend the note to
considerable length.
