Washington, April 1o.-The
final warning of the United States
to Germany in its "relentless and
indiscriminate warfare' of sub
marines has been sent to Germany

THE BETTER THING.

1t is better to lose with con
science clean
Than to win by a trick unfair
1t is better to fail and to know
you'v been,
Whatever the prize was, square
Than to claim the joy of a far-of1
goal
And the cheers Of the ISLANDERS
by,
And to know down deep in your
inmost soul
A cheat you must live and die.
Who wins by trick can take the
prize,
And at first may think it sweet,
But many a day in the future lies
When he IL wish he had met de-
feat. Q
For the man who lost shall be
glad at heart
And walk with his head up high,
While his conqueror knows he
must play the part
OF a cheat and living lie.
The prize seems, fair when the
fight is on,
But save it is truly won
You will hate the think when the
crowds are gone,
For it stands false deed done.
And it's better you never should
reach your goal
Than ever success to buy
At the price Of knowing down in
your soul
That your glory is all lie.
