The German papers laugh at the views expressed
in the Allied countries that the end of the Hohen-
zollern dynasty is at hand. The Hamburger Frem-
denblatt discusses the question and says:
IN order to humiliate Germany. our enemies
would like to bring down and to shatter the DO
sition of her ruling house. They desire to persuade
the Germans that the want produced by the war is
the fault of the kaiser and that the danger of the

THE BRIDGE OF FIRE.
(By James Elroy Fleckera

Consular service at Constantinople. at Smyrna and
at Beirut. Syria. He married Greek woman and
took much OF his inspiration from the shores Of
the Aegean. His first volume of verse was THE
Bridge of Fire." which included some of the poems
below. THE Golden Journey to Samarkand" and
THE Old Ships followed. His collected works have
now been published in this country by Doubleday

The last poem below 1.-THE Burial in England"
was his dying message to his country on the
Great War;
To Poet Thousand Years Hence
who am dead thousand years,
And wrote this sweet archaic song
Send you my words for messengers
The way shall not pass along
I care not if you bridge the seas,
Or ride secure the cruel sky
Or build consummate palaces
OF metal of masonry.
But have YOU wine and music still,
And statues and a bright eyed love-
And foolish thoughts of good and ill.,
And prayers to them who sit above?
O friend unseen, unborn. unknown,
Student of our sweet English tongue
Read out my words at night alone:
was poet, young.
Since can never see your face
And never shake you by the hand
7 my ir,o
To greet you. You will understand

"The overshadowing danger to CIV

in history, has set out upon scheme

of any nation shall stand in the way.
That is the reason he has committed
these insufferable aggressions upon
the American nation.

sooner the extent of this menace? 1t
is because we have been lulled into
a false sense of security by the 5000

narrowed the Atlantic to such an ex-

ance company OF Omaha.

ing which the change was under con-
sideration by the policyholders, was
best month for business the company
has ever had. They look on that as a
good omen for the future.
