To the Point

Samuel Gompers received one OF
the kilograms from the COMMITTEES
calling for a Conference for Democ-
racy and Terms of Peace.
Mr.. Gompers' telegram in reply
was short and pithy:
Telegram received. I prefer
not to ally myself with the con-
scious or unconscious agents or
the Kaiser in America.
SAMUEL GOMPERS.
It is time the unconscious agents
Of Kaiserism were becoming con-
scious of their real position. The
conscious agents are no doubt known
to the Department of Justice and will
be dealt with according to their
deserts.
We trust that no citizen Of Wash
ington has replied to this invitation
by cOnsenting that his name should
be used in such anti-American and
ro-German propaganda.

HEIR TO EARLDoM LOST
Shipped a. stoker and Has Been De-
elared Dead.

LONDON, May 11.-Francis Glenn
ents, son and heir OF the late Earl CO
Leitrim, has been officially declared
dead by the probate court. He dis
appeared from London in 1907, taking
passage as a stoker on a vessel
bound for New York, but a ten years
search by detectives on two conti-
nents has failed to reveal any trace
OF what became Of him after he
reached New York. 81 decided that
IL l stuck to London drawing rooms
my life would ferment into mere
froth," he told a fellow sto<er on the
way out from Liverpool.
About a year after he disappeared
his death was reported from Kansas
City, but after an exhaustive inquiry
this was proved a false clue.
The courts decision that Clements
Is dead leaves the present Lord Lei
trim without an heir to sis titles,
which include the earldom, viscounsy
and barony of Leitrim' and the barony
Of Clements.

In a dreadful, icy kiss:
And on my eyes fell a bleak eclipse,
Made vile with the worms sharp hiss.
Her bony arms round my throat were

And throttled all my breath:
heard her laugh with a fearful

That made me one with death.

Interval.
Day after day goes by into the gray
past winging,
Noiceless, intent, and still in meas
ured coIorless flight,
flushed is the rune OF the Tyre and
stilled the voice OF our singing,
Long are the hours of day and
longer the watches OF night.
Summer is near, and the rose threat
ems the world with its beauty,
4None who shall linger to gaze but
shall fear lest he linger too
long.
Laughter and Love go furtively forth
from the stern face OF Duty,
Laden with burdens too great for
the strong white shoulders OF
song,
When shall the rose reign again, and
song rise up in the morning?
When shall beauty return in a
dream and take up her CROWN
Long hath she tarried away from the
chill and fear OF our scorning.
Waiting her solemn hour with
arched incredulous frOwn.
Keep we the FIRE on her affairs en-
kindled and sacrifice burning
Lest she forget all our need OF her
grace and her day of returning.
