To the American Poets.

Comrades mine of Muse and Land, When the wanton war drum
 sounded And the world fell back astounded At, fate so lightly planned, Heralds of the Right in song. Were you silent at the wrong? Comrades mine of Land and Muse, When the mailed and naughty giant Crushed the weak but uncomplant Did you falter which to choose? Did the cult of Art for Art Halt the tempest of your heart? No, you left your joy untold Left Loves pondered rime i'm
 pening Left appraised the summers blending Into roadside blue and gold. What were Nature, Love and Song In tue presence of such wrong? At each Teuton perfidy
 Trembled your swift lines with
 scorning. Lowelrs vision, Webster's warning Made you seers of Liberty. Others doubted: you divined The awful cross of humankind. When the dragon, War, is dead, Though the haunting slain be
 counted Like the stars and grief hath
 mounted
 Higher than the Jurgfrau's head History shall search your song To find the measure of the wrong ROBERT UNDERWOOD JOHNSON

gather, all the traitors in the United States. The copperheads were with him to a man. Since German money flowed freely the hypocrit von Bern storff had little difficulty in securing the services of those who were will ing, at any price, to plot against the safety of their fellows.
 In any consideration of these revelations it must not be forgotten that when von Bernstorff and his hired thugs set out against the lives of American workmen, and attempted to blow up American munition plants, this nation was trying to maintain it's neutrality. It was at in sending munitions to the Entente Allies were acting under the terms of international law. Even the Elm peror of Germany had never set his voice against the law in that respect. What was done to discourage such shipments was done under cover. NO man stood before the court of jus tice and demanded otherwise. Secret societies, financed from the Imperial German Governments corrupted funds, sought to influence Congress. The American embargo conference was backed by money from the Ger man exchequer in it's attempt to force Congress to pass a munitions en- bargo act. Von Bernstorff had asked for, and probably received, s50,00O with which to influence members of the House of Representatives.
 All these revelations merely go to show what a mean, dispicable, crowd von Bernstorff worked with; what low-down cur he was; what a sorry sight the exposed tools present. Pro- tected by the very government against which he was plotting, von Bernstorff walked the streets of Washington with murder in his heart. On his many visits to the State Department he assured Lansing of the good faith of the German Government while at the same time plots were leveled against the peace and safety of American citizens. It is no wonder the United States was dragged in the war. The German ambassador did everything in his power to bring about a severance of diplomatic re- lations. His hypocracy has never been equalled.

 Order Founded in 1858.
 The founding of the Paulist Band of Missionaries dates back to 1858, when four converts to Catholicism from the Protestant faith organized tho band These men were Rev. Isaac T. Hecker, Rev. August F. Hewitt, Congregational minister; Rev. George Deshon, d chaplain in the United States army, and Rev. Francis Baker, pastor of Cavalry Episcopal church at Baltimore, Md. At present the Paulist Fathers havc a band of about 100, with houses in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto, Can. Portland, Ore, Austin. Texas, and Nashville, Tenn. The Paulst Fathers were the first misslona ries to hold ser vices for Catholics. and through their efforts thousands of converts have been secured throughout tho United States and Canada, 1t Is said. The band was the first to use the apostolate of the press, and in their publishing house in New York, the Catholic World' Is issued monthly.
 Temperance is one of the greatest works of the band, and upon tho reed Of sobriety the priests are worry irnprey- sive during their sermons The Fathers also in their talks bring out forcibly the need of close adherence to the ceremonies of the Catholic church. In the Catholic University in Washington, D. c. students are edu- cated for missionary work among non- Catholics.
 The kindly manner in which the Paulist Fathers conduct thctr missions is universally known, throughout the country. No one who seeks the coun- sel of these priests need fear that they will be subjected to harsh words or unkind treatment. At all services inyi- tations are extended to all non- Catholics to attend, and at the close the Paulist Fathers would be glad to talk with them or will meet them in private if they so desire

THE DAUGHTERS OF MEN.

H There has been a lot of talk about
 he thew woman" Whenever these deas have been diffused they were Eorobably associated with high heels, Eshort skirts, and diaphanous waists. Style was ever the main feature of eWhat men came to know as the new EWoman." She was something differ Pfnt from the women of old, the moth ers and wives and sisters and sweet hearts of, say, the colonial days. Where modesty was the salient trait hnd virtue of the women in those Hays, the new woman held to scorn hny such thing quietude. Without Fxactly being a libertine she stepped pver the traces just high enough to libe something out of the ordinary That, in a nutshell, is what the new woman" came to be in the sight of Emany men.
 q The new woman. The very term held a charm for those who had grown weary of convention. The new lwoman, after the novelty had worn off, came to be identified with the
 suffra gists. She was the pioneer
 blazing 8 trail for the freedom of
 her sex. She advocated sex equality,
 oven going so far as to order to the
 scrap heap that time worn doctrine, the double standard of morality
 Then, becoming disassociated even
 with the suffrage movement. the "new
 woman" came to have another mean ling to man. And lately we looked lupon her as the paragon of con-
 scientious objectors, as the woman
 who offered her skirt behind which
 men might hide from the military duties demanded by the war. The
 new woman has become, to many, the
 bride of the stacker. 1-~

CROSSED ON TRANSPORT
Arthur Campbell and Robert Bcrtini of Naval Reserves Reach Atlantic Port After Voyage Over Atlantic.

Word was received today from Arthur Campbell, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Campbell of AS Winthrop street. and Robert Bertini so nof Mr. and Mrs. o. Bertini of 66S Stanley street, that they had arrived on this side of the Atlantic after cross ing the ocean on an American trans port They reached an Atlantic port Tuesday night but did not come ashore until yesterday. The name of the ship on which they sailed cannot be published because of military regulations but it was one of the fleet of German vessels seized by the United States. Both are enlisted in the Naval Reserve.
 According to the message, the trip across and back was without incident, nothing of a more alarming nature than whales being sighted If there were any U.boast in their course, they did not make their presence known. Both men expect to come home on furlough soon.

 Best of all, New Britain has given

 pys, and we must not forget them. he names of the drafted men are fritten high upon the records. In bme instances the names of those Tho volunteered are lost.

PRIORITY OF.
IDAHO RANGE
TO Be DECIDED
Supreme Court of United
States to Hear Final APP
peal in Case State Versus
Omaechezarria.
Cattlemen Seek to Prevent
Invasion of Their Range
by Sheepmen-Constitu-
tionality of Idaho Law At
tacked-Set for Dec. II.

The supreme court of the United
States will determine the constitution
atty of the Idaho statute relating to
the priority of range as between cattle
and sheep men-an issue of far reach
ing Importance to those engaged in the
cattle and stock industries in this
state, and one that has caused more
friction than probably any other On
Dec. II that tribunal will hear argu-
ment in the case entitled. the State OF
Idaho versus Omaechezarria, on APP
peal by the defendant from the decis-
ion of the supreme court of this state
holding the priority of range act con-
stitutional. Attorney General 7. A.
Walters will defend the Idaho court
and the act, which the defendant al
ieges to be unconstitutional.
INTERESTS LINE UP.
This act seeks to protect the stock
men who have established a priority
on any range within the state from in
vasion on the part of sheepmen. In
the case at bar Omaechezarria was
arrested for running his sheep on a
range in Owyhee county held by
stockmen. He was arrested under the
criminal statute making the act mis-
demeanor, tried, found guilty and
fined. He appealed to the supreme
court Stock and sheepmen lined up
on both sides of the issue, the stock
men backing the stand taken by the
state and the prosecutors and the
sheepmen defending Omaechezarria.
The supreme court held against the
latter and the sheepmen perfected an
appeal to the supreme court for final
hearing and argument and will take 1t
under advisement eventually rendering
findings which will be awaited for
with the keenest interest by sheep and
cattemen in this state.
STATUTE UNDER FIRE.
