Unfurled her standard to the air.
She tore the cure robe Of night,
And set the stars Of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric Of the skies,
And striped It's pure celestial white
With streaking Of the morning light:
She called her eagle bearer down
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol Of her chosen land.
Majestic monarch Of the cloud,
Who rear'st aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumplngs loud
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strive the warriors Of the
And rolls the thundendrum Of heaven,
Child Of the sun! to thee tits given
To guard the banner Of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke.
To ward away the battle stroke.
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud Of war,
The harbingers of victory!
Flag Of the brave! thy folds shall fly,
The sign Of hope and triumph high.

Ere yet the Nfe-blood. warm and wet.

Each soldier eye shall brightly turn
To where the sky-born glories turn,
And, az his sprtnging steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the

And whom the cannon-mouthinss loud
HeAve in wild wreaths the battle

Like shoots Of flame on midnight's

That lovely messenger Of death.

NOT TO BLAME
FOR BLOCKADE
German Authorities Try to
Put all Responsibility
Upon Enemy.
French Official Says En-
tente Did Not Create
Such Situation.

Paris, April 1e.-Baron Denys-
Cochin, under secretary Of the foreign
office in charge Of blockade questions,
in q talk with American correspond
ents on the entente blockade policy
against Germany, said:
"Dr. won Rethmann-Hollweg, the
German chancellor. and DR.. Alfred
Zimmerman, h German foreign sec
Rotary, in their recent declarations
sought to throw upon the entente the
responsibility for a continuance Of
bloodshed. They talked of a blockade
the death Of women and children.
The entente is not at all responsible
for a situation which 1t did not ere
ate and which grows out of the most
unqualified aggression. The blockade,
such as the Germans understand it,
does not resemble in any way that
which we have organized and which
we are pursuing.
Germany laid Mines First.
EN-. Zimmerman complains of the
inhuman extension Great Britain is
making in the North sea that is
to say the laying of mines to bar the
way of the submarines. But who is 1t
who started to lay mines? 1t was not
the allies but Germany. England, be-
fore the war, notably in 1907 at the
Hague, showed herself hostile to the
use of submarine mines. Germany de.
handed the right to use mines. In
terms, furthermore. which would
hardly permit one to foresee the use
which she would make of them. From
the early days of the war Germany
