the anticipation of such problems and the
formulation of general policy which shall

Asquith's Next Move

MFR. AsQUITH and his associates will
AVA renew their attack on the Prime Min
lister and so delight and encourage the
Germans. The question is, What will be
their next move? Probably they will try to
entangle and overthrow the Prime Minister
on the Irish question. On this point we
would say most emphatically that Mr. Lloyd
George has no right to stake the existence
of his government on the Irish question, es-
pecially now that the essential basis Of
Home Rule (namely, imperial supremacy in
military affairs) has been definitely repu-
dated by the Nationalist party, by the Sim
Feiners and by the Roman Catholic hier-
archy. The duty of Mr.. Lloyd George is not
to resign Office for the sake of the Irish, who
have contemptuously rejected his sugges-
tions. His duty is to remain in office in
loyalty to the patriots of the whole kingdom
and for the sake Of the national, imperial
and Allied cause.

From the Chinese
Ballad of the Western
Island in the North
Country

<<NEEING the plum-tree l thought
of the Western Island
~ And / plucked branch to
send to the North Country.
] put on my dress of apricot-yellow silk
And bound UP my hair black as the
crows wing.
But which is the road that leads to the
Western Island?
I'll ask the man at the ferry by the
!. Bridge Of Boats.
But the sun is sinking and the orioles
flying home:
And the wind is blowing and signing in
the walnut-tree.
I'll stand under the tree just beside the
gate:
I'll stand by the door and show off my
enamelled hair-pins."
She has opened the gate, but her lover
has not come:
She has gone out at the gate to pluck
red lotus.
AS she plucks the lotus on the southern
dyke, in autumn,
The lotus flowers stand higher than
mans head.
She bends down-and plays with the
lotus seeds,
The lotus seeds are green, like the lake
water.
She gathers the flowers and puts them
into her gown
The lotus-bud that is red all through.
She thinks of her lover. her lover that
does not come:
fying--
The Western Island is full of wild-geese.
To look for her lover she climbs the
Blue Tower.
The tower is high: she looks, but can
All day she leans on the balcony rails.
The rail is twisted into twelve-fold
pattern.
She lets fall her hand, white like the
color Of jade.
She rolls up the awning, she sees the
wide sky,
And che sea-water waving its vacant
blue.
1.-The sea shall carry my dreams far
away,
So that you shall be sorry at last for my
sorrow.
II the South Wind only knew my
thoughts,
1t would blow my dreams till they got
to the Western Island"

The Spirit of
Detach-
n1ent
<sThe Instinct to Persist
in Their Own Being
Draws Them Aside"
WRITER in the Literary Sup
\ plement Of "The London
- Times" observes.

WRITER IN the Literary sup
~ plement Of "The London
Il Times" observes:
eve often waste time in discussing the
ethics of detachment, forgetting that for
some natures it is law of, their being
which will not be gainsaid. Their fellow
men justify them implicitly by turning, as
they sometimes must, from the fervor Of a
great cause or the mill of ceaseless applica-
tion toward refuge or hiding place Of the
soul. A bond unites at these moments the
minds which work with others and the minds
which have drawn apart. Both are swayed
by a reaction from all that threatens to alb
sorb and sink their individuality; they are
repelled equally by the narrow soul, en-
crossed in business, which looks out from
mean and furtive eyes. and by the nobler
soul which has surrendered itself absolutely
to some enthusiasm. The instinct to persist
in their own being draws them aside.
"a pause in time or solitude in place MS
the way in which we generally imagine this
self-liberation, and often attempt it. Isola-
ton, physical and spiritual. seems the thing
that is sought for. But this idea Of separa-
ground of detachment. There may be a
value in remoteness, but it is chance value
conferred by Enthusiastically the attrac-
tiveness or escape the pressure Of neces-
sity Even the anchorites of the Thebaid or
the Essenes on the shore of the Dead Sea
did not go into the Wilderness for the pure
JOY of solitude. The real goal and the real
value is the possession Of ones self. 1t is
to retreat, as Marcus Aurelius said, into
that little farm of ones own mind where so
profound a silence may be enjoyed This
was the instinct of the poet who most of all
moderns yearned for 'selfdependence' as
bulwark against distracting interests and
professional cares 1t made him write of US,
the laborious people of the West, as
We aUho pursue
Our business arith umslackimg stride,
Traverse IN troops arith care-flled
breast
The soft Mediterranean side,
The Nile, the East,
And see oil sights from pole to pole,
And glance, and nod, and hustle by;
And neuer once possess our soul
Before soe die.
"To knit together in single mood the
sense of freedom and the sense of individ-
uality is craving that masters almost every
one at some time, and governs more men
through the whole of their lives. 1t can
show itself at the opposite extremes of ex-
perence, and the detached attitude which
results from it is shaped and colored by
the whole complexion of the SOUL"

Flanders Bells

nH IT'S that would be hearing
- The Flanders bells again,
The way they used to murmur
Across the evening plain,
They way they used to jangles
Through rainy dawn or fair,
And laugh the peoples laughter
And pray the peoples prayer.
The farm lads done with ploughing,
The oxen safe in stall,
The teamsters back from fairing,
The old bells knew them all,
And children ceased their playing
And hardened on their knees
What Angelus was saying
Above the roadside trees,
They'Ve melted them for metal,
They've moulded them to guns;
Go, bring them home to Flanders,
The patient eriled ones!
Whem all the guns are captured,
Melt them, melt them down,
And mould them into bells again
For every Flanders toavn!
Oh, it's that would be seeing
The men come home again
Along the Flanders highways
Through sunlight and through rain (:
Their voices would be tender,
Their weary eyes be wet,
To hear the great bells crying
What no man could forget
Evening they knew and morning,
Wedding and funeral,
And songs Of little children
The chimes could sing them all!
And many a woman listened
After her prayer was said,
To hear the bells go flying
Like angels overhead.
They've melted them for metal,
They're moulded them to guns;
Go, bring them home to Flanders.
The patient eriled ouesl
When all the guns are captursd,
Melt them, melt them doeom,
And mould them into bells again
For every Flanders tosvni

The Black List

adopted the old Roman method of

purposes, what is to prevent the appearance
of other assures? England itself was not al
ways unit, and to introduce Federalism as
between the English, Scottish, Irish and
Welsh partners will inevitably encourage
further separatist tendencies.
The apologists of Federalism argue that
it will alleviate the congestion of Parlia-
mentary business. We doubt it'll Even if
it did, the price would be too high, and an
other cure must therefore be found.

The list is made up for the most part

Of Labor men. Among those marked for

Right Hon. Sir C. E. H. Hobhouse,
the Right Hon. Walter Runciman,
Mr.. ]. Ramsay Macdonald and the Right
Hon. Reginald McKenna.
Already these gentlemen are begin
