clare the recent course OF the Imperial
German government to he III fact moth
ing less than war against the govern

that it formally accept the status of
belligerent, which has thus been thrust

steps not only to put the country in
a more thorough state of defense but
also to exert all its power and employ
all its resources to bring the govern
ment of the German Empire to terms

that Berlin virtually held Mr., Gerard prisoner,
because Berlin believed the United States
would detau Bornstorff. would seize German
merchantmen in our ports and would dis
regard the convention in regard to the safety
and freedom OF Germans in this country.
The belief was utterly without justifica ton
but Gerard was held and indignation has been

The Singing Pine.

You say that winter has no song,
No melody or clear or fine.
Only rude winds that trnmpe; long
Rut you forget the singing pine,
The singing pine from out whose soul
An immaterial music swclls
That hints of Mays first oriolc,
And the blue eyes of pimpcrncls,
The singing pine that prophcsics
The roses with their altar sweet
And underneath tho golden skies
The popics swaying with the wheat
The winter has no song, YOU say,
No voice with its harmonic sign,
No lovely lyric omcn---nay.
Rut yon forget the singing pine,
