GERMANY ADMITS SEVERE
LOSSES IN BATTLE

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, April PA German officer
captured Tuesday frankly stated that
the Germans regard the loss Of Vimy
Ridge as the biggest defeat they have
suffered since the war began. This Off
Ger knows the ridge thoroughly, hav-
ing been stationed Oh it all last sum
mer, and said he could not under
stand how any troops could fail to
hold it. In his opinion, the garrison
must have been demoraliZed before the
British attack began.
The latter statement is thought to
be true, for other captured Germans
have told of decentralization in their
ranks after several days Of the Brit
ish intensive artillery fire. The Ger
mans continue highly nervous all along
the front, the slightest increase in the
British fire calling up distress signals.
Prisoners taken in the last three
days tell of the spread of discomfort in
the German army because of reduced
rations since April Is. Each man for
merly received a halr loaf Of bread
daily. Now he has only one-third of q
loaf. This reduction, coming after the
Somme retreat, the defeat at Arras and
the beginning of the great French
offensive. has. caused much grumbling
among the troops.

STRANGE CATCH.
New York Post.)

Many strange things have been
found on the bottom of Hampton
Roads not far from where the sub
troyer brought UP an automobile on
Monday it proved to be the strangest
of all. The vessel was anchored in the
Rhodes not far from where the sub
marine net is stretched between
Fortress Monroe and Fort Wood.
When she made preparations to sail, i.
was found that her starboard anchor
did not come up as readily as it
should. 1t was dropped back to the
bottom several times in the hope that
the heavy object it had picked up
might be shaken off. If it did not shake
off, however, and when the anchor was
hoisted an automobile came with it-a
five-passenger car. The top of the car
had been worn away by time and tides,
but the chassis and frame appeared tn
be in fairly good condition. The de-
stroyer went to the Norfolk yard with
the automobile still hanging to her
anchor. 1t was removed by machines
and sold for junk.

AN IMMORTAL POEM.
By JOSEPH RopMAN DRAKE

By JOSEPH RODMAN DRAKE.
! when Freedom from her mountain
! height
Onfurled her standard to the air,
Sne tore the azure robe of night.
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
!he milky baldric OF the skies,
And striped its pure celestial white
win sireakings of the morning light;
linen from his mansion in the sun
she calico her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
Majestic monarch of the cloud,
Who rear'st alOfL tiny regal form,
10 near the tempest trumpings loud
And see the lightning lances driven,
Wnen strive the warriors of the
storm,
And rolls the thunder drum of Heaven,
Child of the sun To thee tits given
10 guard the banner of the free,
10 hover in the sui phur smoke,
10 ward away the battle stroke,
AND bid Its blendiDgs shine afar.
Like rainbows on the clouds of war,
Inc harbingers of vict,ry
Flag of the brave Thy folds shall fly
Inc sign of hope and triumph high,
when speaks the signal trumpet tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on.
Ere yet the llfeblood, warm and wet,
has dimmed the glistening bayonet,-
Each soldier eye shall brightly turn
10 where thy sky glories burn;
And, as his spring steps advance,
! 4 n Il
And, when the cannon mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle
shroud,
And CORY sabers rise and fall
Like shoots of flame on midnight's pail,
Then shall thy meteor chances glow,
And covering foes shall shrink be-
meath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.
Flag of the seas On ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave;
When death. careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the belled sail,
And frighted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's reeing rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
| Shall look at once to Heaven and thee,
And smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph, DER his closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts hope and
home !
by angel hands to valor given
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in Heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet
Where breathes the foe but falls be-
fore us.
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And freedoms banner streaming
