4 TRUE MOTHER AND HER SON.

Farewell, mother, they've come for
me-"
Said a soldier boy in brown,
But if I live throughout the war,
Back to you I shall come"
"It breaks my heart to leave you,
But promised to be true,
SO I'm leaving you, mother,
40 fight for the red-white-and-
blue"
''Take care of yourself, dear mother,
Do not worry or weep for me;
For surely God will protect US,
You, the flag and me-"
Eight bravely for your country,
Obey your commanders, my son,
And when the conflict is over,
Your duty will be done"
And while upon the battlefield
His commanders he will be obey
ing,
His heart-broken aged mother,
For her only son will be praying.
But thereT come a day when all will
be glad,
The roaring Of the cannons will
cease,
And each one viii tell the other
Of the forthcoming peace.
But throughout the entire country
None will be happier than the
mother true,
Who, for country's love has given
her son,
To fight for the red-white-and-
Geraldine A. Watson.

the fact that the slain man was

Amsterdam, Nov. 28-A
great socialist demonstration
in Budapest on Sunday in ia

is reported by the Vossische
Zeitung of Berlin. Declarations
were made that democracy
must t-employ all means to end
the war and that it is impossi-

a demonstration against the

strike.
A resolution was adopted opposing

Germany. The meeting voted in STA

conference in Stockholm.
An official statement received here
from Berlin denies a rumor, attributed
to London, that Gen. Won Ludendorff,
first quartermaster general of the
German army, had gone to the Rus

Despite warning that his proIGer-

Arrest at the factory by Charles H
Lane, special agent of the Depart
ment of Justice. Schultz is an enemy
alien, born in Germany in 1891, and
has been in Bridgeport since 1915, but
has taken no steps to become citi-

to have furnished information against
him are said to have been the imme-
date cause of his arrest. The arrest
was very quietly made and but few
in the shops were aware of it.
