MON GAMIN.

j NUN 0hhl.N.
One day when | was in Lorraine woman
came to me carrying in her hands boy:
cap and piece of rope. She was peasant
woman about forty years of age, named Nine
Plaid. She said:
you see, monsieur, found him in the
fields. He was not in the house when the
Germans came here. | thought that my little
scamp (mon gamin) was in danger, SO
looked everywhere for him. He was fourteen
years old, only that-at least, he would have
been in September, but he seemed to be al
Of nineteen with his height and his size.
81 asked the Prussans II they had not seer
my little scamp. They were leading me OF
and | feared that they would take me away
with them. The Prussians said that some
body had fred on them from my house.
"Your son had rifle with him and h.
fired on US, just like the others they said
81 answered: My little scamp did not Dc
anything, ! am sure"
"'What shirt did he have on? they asked
"A little white shirt, with red stripes
replied.
They insisted that he was the one thai
had fired.
when the cannonading stopped the PEG
pie who had been with me told me that they
had seen young man lying stretched out in
the field, but they could not tell who it was
wanted to see who it was that was lying
there dead, and yet drew back.
ono l said to myself. am too much
afraid
But I crossed the field. saw his cap
which had fallen in front of him. came
closer. 1t was he. He had his hands tied
behind his back.
"See, here is the cord with which he had
been killed. For he had not been shot; he
had been hanged
She held out to US the cord--a coil OF
small but strong rope.
And here is the cap"
She was holding the gray cap in her two
hands
when saw him said to the Prussians
"'Do the same thing to me now. Without
my little scamp cannot go on. SO do the
same TO me-
"Three weeks later / went again to search
for my little scamp. did not find him any
more. The French soldiers had buried him
with their dead"

Not without gallantry and blood and pain
Came home to you, my mother, showed my

Soon 'twould be we'll again.
You bound the kerchief on the poor sore

You guessed my cause was just and held me

The Little Ships.

ay and sank The crew perished. "-Daily Paper
Who to the deep in ships go down
Great marvels do behold,
But comes the day when some must drow
In the gray sea and cold,
For galleons lost great bells do toll.
But now must we implore
Gods ear for sunken Little Ships
Who are not heard of more.
When ships Of war put out 10 sea
They go with guns and mail,
That so the chance may equal be
Should foemen them assail;
But Little Ships mems errands run
And are not clad for strife;
Gods mercy then on Little Ships
Who cannot fight for life.
To warm and cure, 20 clothe and feed,
They stoutly put to sea,
And since that men of them had need
Made light Of jeopardy;
Each in her hour her fate did meet,
Nor finched nor made cutlery;
Gods love be with these Little Ships
Who could not choose but die.
To friar and nun, and every one
Who lives TO save and tend,
Sisters were these whose work is done
And cometh thus 10 end;
Full we'll they knew what risk they ran
But still were strong to give;
Gods grace for all the Little Ships
Who died that men might live.

In Behalf of Gladness.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In a recent issue of The Tribune YOU
criticise with what seems undue severity the
book and dramatization Of "Pollyanna"
One readily grants that the "glad book
has no real literary merit chow few popular
plays have!) but many have found in this
example Of sentimental absurdity" recrea-
tion from the horrors of war and its unprece.
denied sorrows. II the little story Is "mis-
representation of life" why not leave to those
who have found rest therein--rest and a
feeting happiness, perhaps-that gladness
possibly unknown to the more critical mind
II would seem that the public might well
come being "duped' by the "Pollyanna"
brand az change from the white slave
and problem plays of the past seasons, toward
which your editorial criticism might be more
justifably directed.

Britain and the Berne Convention.

Great Britain has committed another
breach Of international law in the passage
OF the second Trading with the Enemy act,
disposing Of the British copyrights of au-
thors Of enemy countries for the period
Of the war. The bill affects only German
authorship, since Austria-Hungary and
Bulgaria. like the United States and Rus
sic. are not signatories to the Berne Con-
yention for the international protection Of
literary property.
The bill temporarily deprives German
authors of their British rights by vesting
these rights in Public Trustee, whom it
authorizes TO make arrangements for the
translation and publication of German
works in the Kingdom and Colonies with
out consulting their authors. 1t also au-
thorizes him to collect and retain all royal
ties resulting from the sale OF these works
until after the restoration Of peace The
ultimate disposition Of these moneys is not
made clear, but il has been intirlated IN
IN, House of Lords that "this arrange
ment will strengthen our powers Of bar
gaining for proper treatment Of British
authors in Germany after the war"
OF course, this denial Of the rights Of
waite property is defended on high
.9und. ut will render it possible to
translate legally works that hitherto could
only be tsanslated illegally" but the arbi-
trary measure, which is in the fullest sense
inimical to the enduring interests Of ciyili-

Apples for All.

Fr0m The Minneapolis Jourilqi)
This year there is one crop of which there
is enough. The prospective yield Of the ap-
pie trees of the United States is $3.50 900
barrels enough TO give every man, woman
and child of US two bushels.
Besides this, there is the enormous waste
due TO the thousands of bushels rotting on
the ground under the trees, though in the
nearest cities many find apples too expensive
TO buy. 1t is on such things as apples that
our machinery Of distribution seems TO break
down.
And the apple is one Of the best fruits on
the list. The rhyme,
An apple day
Keeps the doctors away,
doubtless has its modicum Of truth We eat
too much meat and too much pastry. and not
enough fruit Last year apples were d fairly
large crop, yet the best apples in the cities
brought five cents each all through the sea-
son.
This is one of the crying EMBELLISHMENTS
of our economic system, concerning which
books have been written but regarding which
little OF practical value is done.
This year again there are apples to bNrn,
or, rather TO bake, but good apples no doubt
will continue 10 bring high prices at retail s-
