Piper, Play.

Piper, Play.
Now the furnaces are out
And the aching anvils sleep;
Down the road the grimy rout
Tramples homeward twenty Deep
Piper, play! Piper. play!
Though we be o'erlabored men,
Ripe for rest, pipe your best!
Let us foot it once again!
Bridled looms delay their din;
All the humming wheels are spent;
Busy spindles cease to spin;
Warp and woof must rest content.
Piper, play! Piper, play!
For a little we are free!
Foot if girls and shake your curls,
Haggard creatures though we De!
Racked and soiled the faded air
Freshens in our holiday;
Clouds and tides our respite share;
Breezes linger by the way.
Piper. rest! Piper. rest!
Now a carol of the moon!
Piper, piper, play your best!
Melt the sun into your tune
We are Of the humblest grade;
Yet we dare to dance our NIL;
Male and female were we made
Fathers. mothers, lovers stlll!
Piper, softly; soft and low;
Pine of love in mellow notes,
Till the tears begin to flow, :.
And our hearts are in our throaeS'
Nameless as the stars of night
Far in galaxies unfurled,
Yet we WELD unrivalled might:
Joints and hinges of the Worio!
Night and day! Night and day!
Sound the song the hourse rehearse
Work and play! Work and play!
The order of the universe!
Now the furnaces are out,
And the aching anvils sleep;
Down the road a merry rout
Dances homeward, twenty oeep'
Piper, play! Piper. play!
Wearied people though we De-
, Ripe for rest, pipe your best!
For little we are free!

Convincing Evidence.

Everybody's.
Pat Flaherty, very palpably not a
prohibitionist, was arrested in Ari-
zona recently charged with selling
liquor in violation Of the prohibition
law. But Pat had an impregnable de-
fense.
His counsel, in addressing the jury
said:
Your honor, gentlemen of the jury
look at the defendant"
A dramatic pause, then:
''Now, gentlemen of the jury, dc
YOU honestly think that if the defend
ant had a quart of whiskey he would
sell it?''
The verdict reached in one minute
was, :'Not Guilty.

Kaiser Pledged to Aid Chile
''Maintain Supremacy"
BY CHARLES p. STEWART.

Buenos Aires, May Germany and
Chile negotiated a secret treaty guar
anteeing Germany foothold in South
America in 1918, when Prince Henry
Of Prussia visited Chile, according to
an article published in Revista today
by Jose Molins, one of the foremost
authorities on South American rela-
tions.
Molins declared Chile was thus pow
erless to sympathiZe with the United
States or with Brazil because of this
pact.
According to Revista's article, the
secret agreement between Chile and
Germany guaranteed Germany influ-
cnce in South American regardless of
future developments" In return Chile
was pledged German aid in maintain
ing her supremacy in western South

for Chile ultimately to seize Patagonia
from Argentina.
"Chile is powerless to express her
views with the United States, lest Ger

Big British Transport Convey

Washington. May 1.-The Hamburg
American liners Portonfa Pola and
Clara Menf&ng at New York, have
been turned over by the American
government for the use of the entente
allies. One ship will go to France
and the other to Italy.
11,12O Ton Transport Sent Down.
London, May 1.-The Peninsular
and Oriental line steamship Ballarat.
of 11,12O gross tons. which was used
as a troop ship, was sunk recently by
a German submarine All the troops
were saved.
The Ballarat was carrying troops
from Australia to England. The SOL
diers were rescued by British torpedo
boat destroyers and trawlers.
Emphasizes U-Boat Menace.
Washington, May 1.-The German
submarine menace overshadowed even
the question of sending American SOL
diers to the front, at the war con-
ference of the allies here today.
The British expert, Lord Eustace
Percy, informed the American govern
ment that the shipping problem takes
precedence over every other war prob
lem at the moment.
THE situation is very serious he
said. Standardization of ship build
, ing. in England, America, Canada and
( Japan is the biggest Immediate detail
/ for the conferees to dispose of.
- Sunk Faster Than Built.
England's Standardization plans. it
was made known, were placed at the
disposal of all the allies at the war
parley.
Germany is sinking ships faster
than the allies are building them"
said Lord Percy. Il can not give you
the figures. but they are appalling"
The British have impressed on the
