On The
Spur of the
Moment
OF Course

OF Course
Somehow it seemed a trifle sad
To see n gay and happy lad
Stung by the auto bug real bad, but
every city
Has many such who in the Spring
VIII pawn their watch and diamond
ring
And mortgage almost everything--it's
quite a pity!
It's quite a pity to be sure,
And very seldom there's cure,
Alas! the woes they musteendure who
thus are bitten: /.
Alas! the griefs that are their share
And how they'll moan and tear their
hair
And on their brows alas! the care that
will be written,
And do I envy those who blow
Their little roll of hard earned dough
On motor cars that they may go and
speed and race 50?
That they may quite forget their ills
By driving past the lanes and rills
And touring through the verdant hills?
Well should say so!
Happy Thought.

Both.
A little bit unusual
Is the case Of Captain Roce,
The neighbors say he's distant,
But his wife declares he's close.

Work..

Oh, some must tread the paths that irl.
And plug till old and wheezy,
some have the most unpleasant work,
And some have it easy.
And every task, or great or slight,
somebody's is, it never misses.
why, Someone even has to write
Such stuff as this is!

Pan-Ge4rnans Threatened Revolt

pan.C1eHmans Ihre0tene0 HcvO1C. E couenhaxen, via London, May 23. 7:55 a. m.-As A counter to the arti- ficial indignation which the pan-Ger- mans and conservatives are endeavor- ing to excite against tho socialists on account of Scheidemann's use of the word revolution" in the Reichstag last week, the Berlin Voerwarts prints the text of a letter sent to Chancellor Won BethmAnn-HouWeS by the pan-German league in May of 1915. This letter also threatens revolution if the leagues demand for sweeping annexations was not met. se Baron Won Gebsattel. vice president of the league, in transmitting to Won Bethmann-Hollweg copy of the leagues peace program. spoke of in- dications that the government did not propose . wide enough utilization of i. victory. He declared that the im- mediate consequence of such a policy would be revolution and the overthrow of the dynasty. Copies of the letter were sent to the various federated governments. =
 The chancellor replied that the !et- ter and threat constituted . climax to that lack of political judgment which had often embarrassed the govern sment's policy before the war and that the pan-German program could only be considered after all opponents had been completely crushed.
 The governments refusal to permit the radical socialist Adolf Hoffman, a member of the Prussian diet, to a.- tend the Stockholm conference, is con- nected with it's attempt to fasten a I charge of treason on him for his agi- tation among the workmen for a strike.

ITALIANS IN WASHINGTON
Prince of Udine Heads Delegation From King Vlctor--Marcom One of Memb1s-May Discuss Another Loan Ffum United States.

Sailed Secretly From New York.
 Washington, May 23.-Vice Premier viviani. Marshal Joffre and the French mission sailed from New York Tuesday, May 15, unknown ex- cept to a few officials and many American newspapers. which loyalty, kept the secret so the distinguished guests of the nation might not be unnecessarily endangered by German submarines. The party slipped away on the same steamer which brought them over conveyed by a French war ship.
 So we'll was the secret kept by tho volunteer censorship under which American newspapers are co-opera- ting with the government that the French commissioners generally were supposed to be still in Washington and up to yesterday invitations to them to visit various sections of tho country were received in great number.
 The departure of the Frenchmen was attended by as much secrecy as the government could throw around it and the arrangements were much as to make it difficult for German spies CO O80 any 1u1OIul8I10u uAO Lu6y, gained possession of 1t.
 2, On Monday, May 14, the mission re- turned to Washington on special cities in which the enthusiasm and welcome shown by the American people had been most touching to them. After the notable reception in New York the party had divided and two groups, one headed by Marshal Joffre and. the other by M. vfviani, had made flying visit to Canada. The party reunited at Baltimore on Monday, May IA, and returned to Washington. It was presumed that they were returning to take up their farewell visits to President Wilson and other American officials.
 Up to that time there had been not even an intimation that they were to leave so soon. In accordance with carefully laid plans the mission sped away again, doubling back over the route 1t had covered earlier the same day and reached. New York before midnight. Tugs were ready and the Frenchmen were taken to the liner waiting for them in midstream. The ship sailed out through the harbors in the early hours of Tuesday morning, and so we'll had the plans been laid that it was generally supposed in New York that the liner and her convoy were sailing for Hampton Roads to take on the French party at the same place where they landed on coming to the United States. ! ,,
 The ships, however, were laying their course across the Atlantic through the dangers of the submarine zone for Brest. The weather con- ditions for the homeward voyage were of the best for the moon was dark.
