TO THEE-AMERICA, MY BOY.
ATLANTA Constitution)


I.
My boy-born in the pride of loves
sweet thoughts;
Ny boy-bred in the love of purest
hearts.
Long have most glorious hopes been
mine,
But now. America, he is all thine!
My heart is trembling lest thou
should take him now!
/ bore him and I kissed his infant
brow
And nourished him to give him
strength to walk;
And taught his baby lips to lisp and
talk;
Canst thou not wait ?-he seems as
such a child
How can he fight-his manners are
so mild?
I trained his hands to do no one an
ill
Thinkst thou that he can ever learn
to kill?
Ny boyle seems as but a tender
youth
America, | taught him God and
Truth;
If thou must have, give him all to
theel
He's brave-I'm brave, and veto
woe is me
That something in my breast still
holds him fast;
'Tis Mother love-a tie that's made
to last!
Tho thou wouldst take him far across
the sea
Thou canst not take this mother love
from me;
Thou has his manhood in its perfect
flower
My Boy-your Man, will serve thee in
this hour.
Thou canst not know the anguish in
my heart
Though brave l am, I fear the hour
to part.
America, I give him up to theel
Flesh of my flesh-heart of my heart
is he.
And he shall leave mine arms to be
a Man
To fight for thee and do the best he
can.
Deep in his eyes there is incipient
fire,
And in his heart ennobIing thoughts
inspire;
And l, his mother, understand them
all
He hears-he needs, and answers to
thy calf
So short a while upon my breast he
lay;
I rocked and crooned and sang the
day away,
But now he hears the Turing of thy
voice,
And I, his mother, have no other
choice
Than give him up to thee with all
my heart
God grant that he may do a noble
paws
I surrender him, America, to thee
My babe--my boy-thy Soldier Man

LONDON RESOLUTION is
KILLED IN COMMITTEE
Adverse Report Is Ordered on Pro-
posal for inquiry Into Exclusion
of Socialist Papers From Mail.

On motion Of Representative Steiner
son the House committee on post offices
and post roads this morning by unani-
nous vote directed an adverse report
on the resolution Of Representative
Meyer London, calling upon the Post
master General to furnish the House
information as to the exclusion Of so
cialist newspapers from the mails and
steps taken in carrying out the pro-
visions Of the espionage act.
The committees action was based up
on the ground that the complaint OF
the socialist editors is one for the
courts to handle and that the question
is in it's present form without the juris-
diction Of Congress.
Representative London was heard in
advocacy of the resolution and Julian
Pierce Of the national committee of the
socialist party told of the suppression
Of scores of socialist papers.
He complained also of alleged arhi-
trary action by the Post Office De-
partment and Of delays Of weeks in Sc
curing final action upon the suppression
Of publications by local postmasters.
Among the exhibits laid before the
committee was a copy Of a socialist
which is involved now in court action,
the department complaining among
other things of one cartoon. entitled
"Conscription.' 1t represented
drawing of naked women bound
to a gun carriage and naked chill
dren beneath the wheela Mr..
Pierce complained that 1t was impos-
sible to get the department to tell 1t
why it had excluded this issue until a
motion for an injunction brought the
case into court.

Suippe. in little wood The town had
been badly knocked about by the crown
prince In his retreat. We worked hard,
out Of us. By night we dug trenches
, and by day we practiced bombing drill,
bayonet drill. every sort of drill. Now
ana then general orders were read to
U.S. We were kept acquainted. In a gem
eral way. with the progress OF the
war. Orders plus communfques plus
gossip kept us in touch with what was
going on Immediately in front OF US.
Then the last day came have
glanced at what we did on that day.
There was no work for US. for our
trenches were dug and everything was
in readiness. The previous day the
corps commanders had read the orders
to US. We knew who were in front of
US. what we were to do. how we were
to do 1t. We studied the terrain that
possible-we could see little Of IL

and talked to each other Of our plans.

of US laid down to sleep. It was real
sleep. too. The healthy shores were in
evidence. At last 9:15 am. came. and
we stepped drowsfly into line and be-
gan the march for the foremost
trenches.
It was from these trenches that the
attack was to be launched the next
day. The charge proved to be rather
unfortunate for me. A rifle ball passed
through my lung and liver.

PROF. CROKER SUGGESTS
WAY TO BALK U-BOATS
Proposes Big Naval Convoy With
Nets to Guard Merchant
Ships.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July ga method which
he declares will be effective In dealing
with the submarine menace. and which
will save a large percentage Of the ton
mage now being sunk by U-boats, has been
proposed by Prof. Francis B. Croker
formerly president Of the American In
stitute of Electrical Engineers and for
twenty years head Of the department OF
electrical engineering at Columbia Uni
versity
Prof. Croker has spent months in his
efforts to solve the problem Of protecting
merchant ships on the high seas. and the
results Of his efforts he is going to place
before the government.
The Croker plan is simply to have
every fleet Of merchant craft attended
through the danger zone by an impreg-
nable convoy OF warships In rendering
the convoy impregnable the professor
would make use of cruisers AND destroy
have the merchant ships in the center CT
the convoy. while on both sides will steam
large cruisers towing the nets. The nets
can be of any practical length. Prof
Croker suggests a thousand yards, and
they should be about twenty-five feet
deep. These nets will stop any torpedo,
it Is said. The cruisers. by proceeding
single file, each one being 4 little nearer
the merchant ships as compared with the
warship in front are themselves protected
by the nets from torpedo attack; that is.
all except the one in front
Out in front OF the fleet, and also astern.
will cruise the fast destroyers. which will
keep a sharp lookout for any lurking
submarine whose commander might try
to take a long chance and hit one of the
conveyed vessels from the bow or stern.
