Carter. the Negro who killed Jelvek,
an arsenal workmen, in his bed last
Sunday morning, says he is sorry that
he had revolver with him; that it
was the first time in his confessed long
career as a burglar that he ever en-
tered a house armed But this recital
doesn't alter The fact that Carter is
guilty of one Of the most cold blooded
murders committed in the history of
Rock Island, and society insists that
he pay the full price with the least
delay permissible under the law.

THE EYES 0F WAR

Like a gauzy speckA in the pearling
dawn,
We drift through the silent skies,
Over No-Man 's-Land, where the
smokeballs spawn
And the deadly gases rise.
We mark the spot where the battery
stands
Where sappers toll on the trench
scared height.
We map each mile of a hostile land.
Where millions writhe in the battle
blight.
No silyery hugle to speed our fight.
Nor the fiutter of banners gay;
Not a war-steed's stamping for the
fight,
AS we rise at break Of day.
Only the song of the wind in the
planes
4 thrill that lives in the day-dawn
F. glow
A shifting vision Of country lanes,
That wave like ribbons below.
