THE SHADOW OF THE FLAG

The breath of JOY was in the air,
\ Maytime beauty everywhere,
Yet dark beneath my feet it lay
AS 'twere blot upon the day.
A shadow wavering to and fro
I looked to understand-and,l 10,
The shadow of the flag!
The sweet winds from the orchard came
They caught each scarlet stripe afame
The white stars cleaned upon their blue.
A glorious banner twas to view.
But as it filled and floated free
The sun played hide and seek to see
The shadow Of the flag.
Emerging from the storm clouds wrack,
A phantom army struggles back.
To English and Canadian home
Exhausted, broken, MANNED, they come,
A mighty sacrif1cial host
Survivors Of wars holocaust,
The shadows Of the flag.
And millions meath the torn ground lie,
Unfolding great Deaths mystery.
Their youth was fair; they gave it all,
Upspringing at the trumpet call.
Was need to give it? Answer We
Who sent to Immortality
These shadows Of the flag.
o God, omnipotent, bend down;
Compel a world in chaos thrown;
Mans power Is paught; thy power Is still
The same that spoke from Sinai's hill
Speak now, with stern authority,
That our dim eyes may never see
Such shadows Of our flag.

CROKER LAND ONLY MIRAGE
Settles Dispute Over Reported Dis
covery by Admiral Peary.

Sydney, N. S., Aug. 23.-Crocker
Land, a prolific source of dispute
among geographers and scientists,
does not exist, according to Donald B.
Macmillan, the arctic explorer, whose
expedition arrived here on the relief
steamer Neptune, after four years
spent in the polar regions.
What Rear Admiral Peary really
saw when he thought he discovered
Croker Land was a mirage so real
that the Macmillan party had been de-
ceived by it for four days. Later they
sailed over where the disputed land
was supposed to be, thus demonstrate
ing conclusively it's non-existance.

WILL SOON BE SQUIRREL CAGE

The other day we wrote a piece about the marshal taking out large crowd of insane folks and told where they from part of the story being on one sheet and part on another The part the second sheet stated that several taken from Valdez had been brought there from the interior sections Alas the second sheet lost in the shufhe and our friends over at Valdez want to know "Whadymean by This?" as follows
 "The Seward Gateway says that Marshal Brenemann went out on the steamer Northwestern with the largest bunch of insane people taken out of Alaska at one time for years It further states that four came from the westward two from Seward and the rest would be taken from Val dez We must have fine reputation as squirrel cage over in the railway town"
 Valdez has no reputation a squirrel cage so far but unless the department of justice adopts different policy regarding aS in towns of the Third DivSiOn Valdez will find itself the chief squirrel cage, alright.
 Under new ruling of the department insane persons can be taken out only four times year which means that unfortuaeS gathered in by the deputies may have to be kept from one to two months Several violently insane people were taken out the last trip and the prospect of having raving maniac in a ramshacke old jail such as the one here at Seward is more than any deputy or his neghbors could be asked to stand The result the ma niacs from all sections of the division will be shipped to Valdez while waiting the trip south.
 Before going out this time the resident deputy mar shal denounced the local jail disgrace to humanity and said that were not for the presence of guard awake at all hours the prisoners might break out any tme that in addition it is most unsantary there being very poor facilities for men prisoners and for wOmen Either the government should build its jail at very early date or arrange with some person erect suitable build ing under long time lease.

TWENTY YEARS
FOR ACE
JUDGE WADE IMPOSES MAXIMUM
eENTENcE IN ESPloN-
AGE CASE.

Davenport, Oct. 11.-Judge Martin j.
Wade, in federal court denied motion
for new trial for Daniel H. Wallace
this morning and sentenced him to
twenty years in prison for violation OF
the espionage act
The two charges against Wallace
are that he attempted to Obstruct the
enlistment and recruiting Of the mill
tary and naval forces of the United
States, and that he also attempted to
cause insubordination and disloyalty
among the military forces.
Wallace was tried on the charge OF
violating the espionage law only. The
conspiracy charge is still held against
him, but 1t is possible that it may be
dropped.
The taking Of evidence in the cases
Of the six Davenport men, charged
with bringing Wallace to this city to
deliver lecture that was in violation
Of the espionage law, started this
morning.
The evidence given in the Wallace
case is being repeated and the gov.
ernment is putting on witnesses in an
attempt to show that the local men
knew the character Of his talk in adj
vance and applauded it when delivered
and backed up Wallace after the leo
ture.
