The night must put her hiding hand
Der peaceful towns, where children sleep.
And peaceful ships that darkly creep
Across the waves, as il they were nol

The dragons Of the air.
The hell hounds OF the deep,
Lurking and prowling everywhere.
Go forth to seek their helpless prey.
Not knowing whom they MAIN or STAY.
Mad harvestcrs, who care not what they
reap,
Out with the tranquil lights.
out with the lights that burn
For love of law and human rights
Set back the clock a thousand years!
All they have gained now disappears
And the Dark Ages suddenly return.
You that let loose wild death
And terror in the night,

Until the madness YOU began

Set free from war-lords, cries, Let thcS

25O,OOO Persons Visited
Carnival 100000 in
Goods Sold Last Night

Hero Land. the patriotic carnival at
the Grand Central Palace, came to a
close last night. John MoGat. cXecu-
tive chairnan, estimated thr net
profits Tor distribution among the va
lrious participating committees would
be about 100000. It will require sew
eral days. However, 20 ascertain the
exact amount realized. Estimates be-
fore the baznar opened were that the
receipts would reach Sl,000,OCo.
The closing scenes of the carnival
which lasted twenty days, were the
most spectacular Of any in its exist
snce. At 3 O'Clock staff OF forty auc-
tioneers. under the direction Of Joseph
p. Day, took possession Of every exhibit
and proceeded to auction everything
that was salable. Il was estimated
that b. midnight over 100000 worth
Of northumberland been sold.
! In giving out the rough estimate OF
the financial returns from the carnival
Mr.. MofTat declared that the executive
committee felt wei! satisfied, even
though the final figures were consider
ably smaller than had been expected.
/ "Hero Land has proved gigantic
success. in spite of the many obstacles
which faced 1t on the opening day, saId
Mr.. Moffat. among these obstacles
was the general hostility aroused by
the fiasco of the Army and Navy ba-
mar During the finishing week Hero
Land was greatly handicapped by the
snowy weather. -.
"The average daily attendance at
uoro Land was about 10000 persons,
which means that 100000 visited the
carnival some time in the twenty days.

for Charles H. Ssbin, treasurer OF Hero
Land. and the auditors to compile de-
tailed statement OF the receipts and eN-
penditures. AS soon as 1t ls ready

To Training for All
Called Dangerous
S. Stanwood Menken, in
Open Letter, Charges Sec
retary With Inconsistency

$. S,anwood Menken. president OF the
National Security League, which recent
ly renewed its nationwide effort 10 Gre
ate demand upon Congress for ,he
immediate passage of a universal mill
t2ry training law. sent the following
open letter yesterday 10 Secretary
Baker, charging him with inconsistency
and a dangerous change OF position in
his attitude toward universal military
training, as indicated in mis- annual re-
port:
81 notice in your annual report that
you say you do not now favor universal
military training As a regular national
policy. without in any way lessenipg'
my admiration for the intense work
YOU have done since you have taken
Office, ! would strongly differ with you
as 10 your present view.
81 know that some years ago sou be-
lieved that war could not come TO this
country. / find you again revert 10 the
, possibility Of universal peace. | would
respectfully suggest tnat while that
should be the aspiration Of all. expert
cnce has proven the error OF that ideal
ism. The present difficulties in Wash
ington are due 10 two things: First, thc
absence of q citiZenry trained to arms.
and second. the total disregard of the
demands for preparedness which were
manifest 70 US all from the day OF the
outbreak of the European war. The
great struggle OF your department has
been 10 overcome in six months the
neglect Of three years, and II the policy
Of universal obligatory military traiu-
ing is not adopted at the present time
you are paving the way for a repetition
of existing conditions OF strain and
danger at time when We may not have
I the benefit of the same patriotic leader
ship as that Of Mr.. Wilson.
"The fact that tens Of thousands Of
men are going TO die at the front be-
cause we have committed the unpardon-
able military crime CT being too late
/ should make US willing TO undertake
any sacrifice 20 safeguard future gen
erations.
ANY argument against universal mil
itary training is the denial OF the truth
| Of WashinRton's advice. that We must be
prepared IL we are TO avoid insult.
May we quote To you your own
words given out in an interview in,
Washington on May %, 1916: -.t
GAS there exists a universal obl-
CATION resting on all male citizens TO
defend the country in time Of war. so
there should be a universal! willingness 4
20 train in time Of peace against the dsy
of such emergency. Ny belief is that
educational institutions OF this country
should see 10 II that every boy has in
stilled in him that one Of the cardinal
duties. If not the paramount duty, he
will assume with citizenship 10 the Or
legation to defend his country in tire
of war. II this is duty, as ! believe IL
is. then certainly the boy should be
trained to perform that duty when the
time has come for him TO so do. can
not believe | have the right 70 expect
another man 20 defend my home and
my family if am unwilling to defend
them myself"
