As long the flowers their perfume give.
So long would let the kaiser live;
Live and live for million years
With nothing TO drink but Belgian tears:
With nothing to quench his awful thirst
But the rafty brine OF the Scotchmans curse
I'D let him live dinner a day
Served with silver a golden tray:
Served with things both dainty and sweet
With everything but things to eat;
And I'd make him a bed Of silken sheen,
With costly linens to lie between
with OF down and fiets of lace
And downy pillows piled in place.
Yet when to its comfort he would yield
II should stink with the rot OF the battle field
Blood and bones and brains OF men
Should cover him, smother him. end then
His pillows should cling with the rotten clay,
The clay from the grave OF the Soldier Boy
And while Gods stars their vigil keep
And while the the white sands sweep
He should never never. never. sleep.
And through all the days and all the years,
There should be anthem in his ears
Ringing. and singing, and never done
From the edge of light to the set OF sun.
MOANING! AND MOANING! AND MOANING WILD
The moaning of a small orphan child.
And I'd build him castle by the sea-
lovely a castle could be
Then I'd show him ship from the sea-
As fine ship could be-
Yet scarce should she touch the silver sand
Scarce should he reach his eager hand,
Than n hot and hellish molten shen
Would change his Heaven into He'll
And though he'd watch the wave.swept shore
Our Lusitania would no more
In mo Mans Land" where the English fell
I'd make the kaiser private hell.
I'd jab him. stab him. and give him sass
In every wound I'd pour ground glass:
And I'd lead him out where the brave bows dicd
Out pnst the he crucified
In the awful gloom of his lonesome tomb
There is One do hefn
I'D make him sng in a soulstirring manner
The wonderful words of the Star spnngled Banner

A SPLENDID IDEA.

A professional man who has just returned
from visit to the states, reports that in the
southern part of Washington and the entire
state of Oregon. employees are given their usual
vacations, but that this year they find a string
to them. This man says before an employee is
given vacation; he must agree to spend it in
working at something else than his usual occu-
patton. Either by working in canneries, saw
mills, gardening anything that will help the
country; otherwise he does not get vacation
With this system there are no idlers he says
In our opinion the system should be encour-
aged. More, it should be enforced by law.
There can be no reason why We cannot work all
the time. We get tired at working at the same
occupation and all we need is change, provided
the general health is good. Specially during
this crisis. a person should not go and spend
time and money uselessly when there is so
much to be done to help. Cut out all frivolities
and get down on the solid ground of usefulness.

HUSH. BILL. HUSH!

In yesterdays dispatches, Kaiser Bill was
quoted as saying to his poems that Germany was
fighting for principle and morality
Hush Kaiser Bill, hush for when you speak
of principles or morality, you only add insult to
injury to suffering humanity. You do not know
what principle is anymore than you know what
morality is; which is nothing at all. Had you
had sense of fairness, which is principle, and
had you had sense of decency, which is moral
ity, you wouldn't have committed all the attro-
cities you are credited with. Your lack of these
attributes is what forced Uncle Sam to take
hand in teaching you the first element in their
requirement. and before he is DONE you shall
know your lesson or your carcass snail be de-
posted in a hole in the ground to rot

rumor that small plant will be installed either
at Haines or Sitka. From this the natural ques-
ton arises: Why so many new enterprises along
that line at time when the country Is depopu-
lated. When over forty percent of the people
have left the country for the states and battle
fronts? The answer is, briefly stated, the fall

AIJSTRIANS FACING
 BAD GRAIN FAMINE
Domesic Supply Gone and People Depend on Al1otments From
 Conquered Ukrainia.

London, June 19.-Austria's grain supplies have completely run out and such food of this nature as she is getting is coming from what Germany has allotted to her from the Ukrainian supplies, according to indications in a Copenhagen despatch to the Exchange Telegraph company.
 This message quotes an interview with Herr Paul, the Austrian food minister obtained by the Vienna cor respondent of the Berlin Tageblatt, ln which the minister confirmed the news of the recent reduction in the Aus trian bread ration. This, he said, was due to insufficient supplies from Bes- sarabia and Hungary.
 The entire 1917 harvest from these sources had been distributed and con- sumed, the minister stated, and the Rumanian harvest had also been used up, bringing the entire process of re plenishm ent to q full stop, the gov ernment therefore, being obliged to reduce the ration.
 The supplies exported from the Ukraine were unsatisfactory in Quan tiry while the agreement that had been made with Germany several months ago had been altered, with Germany taking over the entire dis tribution of the Ukrainian supplies. Of these Austria was guaranteed cer- tain quantities.

American Institution at Tabriz, Persia, Attacked in Spite of Protests by Spanish Consul, in Charge, and in Defiance Of Spanish Flag

Washington, June 19.--Sa cking of the American hospital at Tabriz, Per- sia and seizure of the American and British consulates there by invading Turkish troops was reported to the State Department today by the Amer ican minister at Teheran.
 If the report, as it reached the min ister, is officially confirmed, the out rages may be considered an act of war and settle the long-pending ques- tion of whether the Ottoman allies of Germany should be formally listed among Americas enemies.
 According to todays dispatch, the Turks sacked the hospital over the protest of the Spanish consul in charge as representative of American interests, and in defiance of the Span ish flag flying over the building.
