\ DEAR LITTLE SWEETHEART OF \
y LONG AGO.
+ 4 4 \ + = + + + + y + 4 \ y
(By ]. H. Moreland)
|. Dear little sweetheart of long ago,
Innocent, happy and fond Of play,
Could you have known what the years
would bring,
Would your choice be the same as it
was that day,
Mid the clover blossoms in early
spring
When your heart was light as a this
ties blow?
Dear little sweetheart of long ago,
l love you now as l loved you when
youths skies were cloudless, and
flowers were fair
In the meadows afar from the haunts
of man;
And our hearts were happy and free
from care
AS the murmuring brook or the winds
that blow
Dear little sweetheart of long ago.
Little you knew what the years would
bring.
Little YOU knew what your bark
sailed fair,
That life's sweetest pleasures have
sharpest sting.
That shattered idols are hard to rear;
And flowers once gathered no more
will grow.
Dear little sweetheart of long ago,
Where are the dreams that you once
held dear?
Where are your castles with gardens
round,
And children's laughter mid flowers
fair?
Nothing you dreamed of your heart
hath found,
What you have suffered, God only
may know
Dear little sweetheart of long ago,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 6.-The
state department, is it announced late
this afternoon, will in all probability
take up with the Italian foreign office
the question raised by the mounting Of
naval guns in the stern of the Italian
merchantmen Guiseppi Verdi, now at
New York. While it is not stated that
formal complaint has been lodged with
the state department by representa-
tives of the Teutonic powers it is be-
lieved that practice will be ruled to be
in violation of the neutrality and the
United States, and in contravention of
the law of nations. The Giuseppe Yer
die will be required to dismount the
guns before being permitted to clear
from the port of New York, it is stat
ed, though the negotiations regarding
the incident may be prolonged during
some time.

suing enemy warships.
Passengers aboard the liner stated
following their debarkation here thai
IL was generally understood among
those travelling on the Guiseppi Verdi
that the Italian government is re-
sponsible for the guns being mounted
on the vessel. After leaving Palermo,
passengers said, the line took a
roundabout course toward her destina-
ton, and while in the Mediterranean
especial precautions were taken to
guard against submarine attack. At
night the ships lights were carefully
concealed and full steam ahead was
maintained. The ships tunnels were
covered during at night, also, this be-
ing done to prevent emitting sparks
which might attract the attention OF
lurking undersea craft.
After passing Gibraltar, the Guiseppi
encountered heavy storms which con-
tinued throughout the remainder of
the voyage, but resulted In no damage
either to ship or cargo. The French
liner steamer La Touraine which left
Eordeax December 26th, and entered
New York harbor in company with the
Guiseppi Verdi, also reported heavy
seas while crossing the Atlantic.
