Or If in dreams that starte him awake

And the ghosts of fallen hosts that shake
Their grsly fists before his staring eyes,

The living curses of the murdered dead

Or If in eerie stretches of the night,
He faces God in terrible alright,
The God he has basphemed, the God he crowned
With Prussian bays for Prussian deeds Of hate

While little children moan and women weep
Because his lust for empire waxed too great

The Crime of London
Was As Ill-Timed As
1t Was AbOminable

III w dS ADOuiiidbiN~
A few days ago the state of Missouri
md in spirit the whole world because
over the whole world there are parents
n children. searched for a kidnapped
shild.
Though great guns roared in France
though shrapne shieked and Kissed its
way toward mems hearts, and mammoth
mines were letting go and thousands Of
tons Of powder along nine miles of front
was pounding the Hindenberg line back
toward German soil-the world of moth
ers and fathers was all forgetful of war
It's ear Was trained to catch the smoth-
pred wall of a babe, torn from home and
from its mothers arms and held for d
Kansom
Where?
The >motber knew not.
How?
She knew not
Dead or alive?
She knew not. but feared the one cir
rumstance no more than the other
We should say that it was bit too
soon after the cries of this child had
ceased and its eyes had closed IN death
administered by its tormentors; IL was
too soon after the cold little body had
been found and placed for the last time
in the arms of its mother to be put IN
its cradle in the earth, that the Kaiser
sent his Zeppelins over London to drop
bombs upon babies and XIII them.
1t was a bad time the Kaiser picked
for his slaughter of innocents, because
upon the following day the great preSi-
dent of great people still weeping with
the sore hearted father and mother OF
n poor little boy in Missouri was to make
an address and to take for his subject
-Our Flag.
The ribboned red and white of that
standard should haunt the Kaiser's sleep
If he has read the speech, for the stars
in its corner are of the heaven he has
filed with angel children, looking down
upon him and accusing him with point
ed fingers.
The foul and ghoul-like kidnaper is
not beneath the tyrant who makes war
on babes.
This great president of a great nation
held high Our Flag as protection to
the world against an ambition that would
stoop to the level of the London muir
ders; that has defied all law and insulted
all people.
And as he held this banner high, he
pledged all humanity that the sword
has been unsheathed not to be returned
to the sheath until autocracy has been
driven from the face of the earth and all
the world, with the German people en-
toying the blessings Of Liberty and Free
dom for which we fight, at PEACE.
1t was a great speech, made, as he
was introduced for the first time. by
"the commander-in-chief Of the Ameri
can army"
It was a speech masterfully done-an-
other one.
It was speech eloquently delivered.
1t was a speech convincing for the
speakers strength Of character and the
sincerity of purpose in its tone.
And Immediately the Liberty Loan be-
gan to soar until il had been oversub-
scribed 100000 600,
The country heard in the great speech
of great man, against the conscience
less bloodletter in Germany, the wall Of
a child.
The Kaiser, by his latest crime, has
antagonized and set mp against him, all
the world that touch Of nature makes
kin.

New York, May 11.-As distin-
guished u gathering as ever sat at
one table in this city gathered at
the home of Henry c. Frick. The
affair was a private dinner at which
Mr.. Frick presided and at which a
score of prominent men sat down.
On Mr.. Frick's right sat Marshal
Joffre and next to him Colonel
Roosevelt. These two talked together
almost necessarily for two hours. The
Colonel was very emphatic at times.
He spoke always in French, except
when, occasionally, he used the eX-

frequently heard him use the word

I'VE desire to proceed in absolute
accord with the United States as we
have already with France and Eng

the greatest work any nation could
accomplish in providing men for the

to arrange war loan in America
