Lines written while crossing desert.
o Desertland. long wasted and alb
horred.
With endless scorn thy sands pile
vile rebuke
Upon our country's stern Indifference!
With scarce a mark upon thy visage
plain,
Save rock.strewn brush-memento Of
Gods wrath
At HelPs Observation-Disclosures OF
snakes!
Beneath thy sunburned bosom wealth
entrails
Thy bowels with gold! Thy limbs
are staggering
With Grey weight-a lie bespeaks thy
face!
Neglected! Aye, thy tears are lakes
OF salt,
Poured molten years agone in beds
streaked gray!
Forgotten In thy sorrow-barren
born!
Like maid uncomely oft with Venus
vies
In charms revealed but to her chosen
lord
To master such as thee great kings
have killed!
Thy sisters east and west and north
and south
Could spare thee blood. thy famishet
veins to I'LL;
Thy lost sterility to quick reclaim!
Comes many a love to WOO thee in pre-
tense,
With fevered pulse, and lust. Soul
oond demand,
Or else. thy secret.sweets shoulds
them deny!
Given promises to thee in selfish
greed
Portend thy homely face to beautify
Base fattery tolls early knell, Be
ware!
The grief thou hast long suffere
ROads thee blind;
a Mecca in thy midst against God
javi
Thou seest not its tents pitched dec
in mire!
'TwerC better even as Utah once az
Claimed:
Fill many mates, allotted equally.
Than now abandon, yet elsewher
maintaini
Refreshed. thy erring sister breathe
in health;
Unbound, soutfree. long since hat
much achieved,
With light. as well with might, direct

Regenerate! A rose upon thy cheel
'Twere brought by vale and hill fror

In gorgeous beauty thus thu'lt bio

AUSTRIANS AND HUNCAR-
IANS WANT PEACE

Berne Switzerland, April IL =
Peace and spring weather are
what the Austrian and H n
garian people most desire. Dur
ing stay in Vienna, whence the
Associated Press correspondent
has just come there was observed
every indication that the govern
ment and the people are willing
to accept any peace proposal leav-
ing Austro-Hungarian territory
intact and making no claims for
war indemnities. By the same
token there appears to be no
doubt that the monarchy will con-
tinue fighting unless there mini
mum conditions are met. While
the public is extremely weary of
the war it's min dis made up to
persist in the struggle to the end
rather than accept humiliating
terms.

RUSSIAN CRISIS
WORRIES ALLIES

Washington, April IL. The
situation in Russia is decidedly
unsatisfactory from the Entente
and American viewpoint. This
was made evident today in State
and War Department circles.
Developments in the revolution
have taken a turn which threatens
impairment of Russia.s military
efficiency, it is believed, and which
may induce Germany to throw
the full strength of her armies
into the West.
There is apprehension in Amer
lean military circles that the La
Dor and Military Council in Pet
rograd, which seems. from press
reports, to be usurping some of
the functions of the Provisional
Government, will destroy discip-
line in the army and disrupt the
Russian fighting machine.

MRS. CHARLIE TETER DEAD

Born unto Mr.. and Mrs. Charlie
Teter Monday morning a baby
girl. Joy was soon turned to sad
ness when Mrs. Teter suddenly
became seriously i'll and died
Wednesday noon of uric poison.
All medical aid possible was given
but death being no respector of
person, conquered.
Sadness and sorrow has not
only filled this new home, but
the whole town mourns as the re-
suit of this premature dea h.
Mrs. Teter's maiden name was
Della Curry; she has lived here
several years and has made many
friends.
Funeral will probably be held
Friday evening at home Enter
ment will take place in the Ell
lott Cemetery.

persons in the United States, cit
liens and aliens, are warned in a
proclamation issued today by
President Wilson that reasonable
acts. or attempts to shield those
committing such acts, will be Wig
orously prosecuted by the govern
ment.

son. citing statues, provisions of
the constitution and decisions of
the courts, and declares that the
acts described will be regarded
as reasonable whether commit
ted within the borders of the
United States or elswhere.
The proclamation is regarded

THE COMING CIRCUS

Sparks World Famous Shows
are billed to exhibit at Elkins
Monday, April 30th and from the
newspaper reports preceding
them their exhibition will be
worth going many miles to wit
ness,
Of the many features carried
by the show this season, some of
the Animal Acts are without
doubt the most wonderful and
thrilling ever presented to an
American audience. The big
group of fighting forest bred lions
all full grown males, give an ex-
hibition that is of full thrills, and
the audience is left with a posi-
tive feeling of awe at mans
wonderful mastery over the brute
creation.
Another extraordinary feature
with the show is Capt. Wesley's
troupe of educated Seals and Sea
Lions. These interesting Sea
animals perform the most seam
ingly impossible feats; balancing
chairs. umbrellas and whirling
brands of fire while climbing lad
ders, walking tight ropes and
riding the backs of galloping
horses. This feature battles de-
scription and must be seen to be
appreciated.
Many other wonderful things
are to be seen with this mammoth
show, and the main performance
beneath the big tents will present
a number of the most marvellous
foreign acts of the century.
The menagerie of wild animals
carrieGwith the show is complete
in every detail, and contains rare
and curious specimens of the
earth's most interesting and cur
ious animals.
A mile long street parade of
dazzling splendor, beautiful wo-
men, and handsome horses, in
terspersed with three brass bands
and steam calliope will traverse
the streets shortly before noon,
and this feature alone will be
worth going many miles to see,

place of exhibitionsElkins, Mon
