Treatment of War Prisoners.

Various agencies seeking to allevi-
ate the condition Of prisoners OF war
and aliens interned in enemy coun-
tries report fairly satisfactory treat
ment and surroundings DR.. John
r. Mott. representing the Young
Mems Christian association, after Wis
iting large number OF prison camps,
vouches for the satisfactory condi-
tons observed. Reports OF similar
character have come through dIplo-
matte sources. These assurances arc
gratifying as lar as they so, but they
are necessarily based on surface indi-
cations. Only those who have ex-
perienced prison life are competent
witnesses. One OF the number is the
noted scientist, Max Nordau. who
has been given freedom after eigh-
teen months in French camp for
the crime" OF Teutonic birth, He
is one OF thousands informed in en-
emy countries for the sole offense of
alien antecedents. Men OF the high
est culture, Mr.. Nordau states,
Lawyers, physicians, sch collars,
churchmen. artists and men OF let
tiers are classed and treated as Grim
inals, They are degraded and
stripped OF every trace OF liberty
denied all human rights, subjected
10 jail discipline without cause and
forced to do coolie labor All this
and more supports a scathing indict-
ment OF human brutality which Nor
dsu draws against all prison camps,
The brutalities of active war are
shocking enough, but hardly surpass
The barbsrities visited upon the in
uocent and defenseless

Going back now to my former remark about

poetry. | happened not long ago to go over the

plenty Of time to indulge his fancy without in the
least interfering with law practice composed
mostly OF futures. What strikes me the best
Of these productions is the following, entitled
What Of the Night taken from the January
1875 number Of that long passed periodical, and
which. insist, is more than mere prelude to the
apostrophe to The Rose;
Maden--what Of the night?
The night is clear and its joys are sweet;
! am waiting the sound Of my lovers feet,
And the passionate words his lips repeat
But the night is gone. and thy lovers tread
Is fcl;c and false as the VOWS he said;
You Will wake from the dream with fancy
bright,
For death and change stalk forth at night
Mothcr--what OF the night?
The night is calm, and its peace is blCst;
am claspng my boy TO my swelling breast
As his spirit roams in the land of rest"
But the night is gone and the rest is DER,
And your innocent may wake no more;
For mothers must weep DER their fond hopes
blight
Der the boyhood promise obscurcd in the
night
True heart-what Of the night?
The night is mine. for each star gem set
In the vaulted dome | can never forget;
They recall where | and my true lover met"
But the night is gone. and the stars o'erhead
Like the troth you gave, are din,med and fed :;
For pride shall sever each true hearts plight
As morning scaters the stars OF night
