The Singer in War Time
To G.. NJ.

10 Ii. NJ.
(Erom The Westminster Gc=cttc)
Though chill it be and coldly grey
The aspect Of these blood drcnched ven,
Yet shall return the minstrels day
With solacc for our ccasclcss tears,
Since every song the poet sings
Is but the tears of things!
All they who fought and are no more
Among us. the immortal dead,
Shall as Of old, again restore
The singers whom their spirits led,
For all true poets draw their breath
From Life no more than Death.
BE sure there is sunlit sea
Beyond the sullen waves we scan!
Who could have hoped for Sicily,
The charmed muse Theocritan,
But one who knew that after pain
The singer sings again?
Warriors, ,ere Homer lived and died.
Raised by their fires a thousand SONGS,
All millon-tongued and myrad-eyed
Are they to whom the gift belongs
The gift made perfect at the last
BY him who chants the past!

The house is empty, and the garden allev,
A Swallowed aisle OF linden and Of yew
A marble vase, a glimpse CT rver-vallev-
Translucent white against transparent blue
A mystery of lockwood and Of byway,
Bcreath barred windows and unopened door
And Tar below the river like highway
Sweeps on, but brings no travellers any more
beauty alone is constant; where she chooses
a dwcllng-placc there would she ever stay,
fortune and friends and fashion though i.

Beauty more faithful does not pass away,
But most deserted, most herself she seems,
Left to her deep and solitary dreams.

Teen forth the dead, who, in procession slow
Passing before you, cry, Owe fought the foe
Defending you and yours; we died 70 oai,

They whisper to my heart; their thoughts are

VON RINTELEN AND TEN OTHERS FOUND
 GUILTY ON CHARGE
Germans Who Tried to De- stroy Ship With Fire Bombs" Sentenced in
 Federal Court

New York, February J.-Franz Son Rintlen, German naval officer rnd reputed member of the German war staff, was found guilty with 10 other defendants in federal court here today of conspiracy to destroy food and munitions ships of the entente all lies by placing fire bombs" fin their carsocs. Judge Howe immediately imposed the maximum penalty of IS months Imprisonment in the federal Denitentiary at Atlanta and q fine of $.000 on each of the prisoners.
 Pleas of lack of proof, sickness, re- cent marriage and ignorance of the laws of this country" Judge Howe said, will not influence this court in imposing sen- tence. These men have been found guilty by an impartial jury of American citizens and the crime calls for the severest penalty. I regret that it is not more severe"
 In instances where the defendants now are serving sentences under previous convictions the present penalty will take effect when the term of the first pun ishment expires. This applies to Von Rintelen, who was convicted last spring of conspiracy to cause strikes in mu- milton plants and was given two years and six months at Atlanta.
 Others convicted today follow:
 Capt. Otto Wolpert, former superin- tendent of the Atlas line pier, which was operated by the Hamburg American Steamship company He was arrected two days after the declaration of war

RUSSELLVILLE

Russellville, February 5.-(Special.) ) Hon. W. D. Bowen better known as Uncle Drewey," and one of the oldest and most prominent men in Franklin county, died at his country home a few miles from this city Sunday afternoon. MT. Bowen was Confederate war vet eran of the Sixteenth Alabama regiment, and he carried the flag for that regi- ment throughout the entire war. He had kept the flag all these many years and his last request was that the flag should be buried with him. The body was wrapped in the flag before being placed in the casket. His remains were laid to rest in the family cemetery about eight miles north of this city today He leaves a large number of children and friends
 From all indications at least two can- didates for legislative honors will be in the race from this district. It was thought for some time that there would be no opposition to the present candi- date, Walter J. Miller, editor of the Col bert County Reporter, Tuscumbia, as has been the custom heretofore. How ever, in the past few days the friends of at least three prominent business and professional men of Russellville are urging them to enter the race and the chances are 10 to l that within the next few days the name of the candidate chosen to make the race will be made known to the public. MT. Miller. the present candidate. is very popular and widely known man in Colbert county, a strong prohibitionist and in favor of the adoption of the prohibition amendment.
 If the right man is brought out tc make the race against MT. Miller in this district hard fight is predicted, es- pecially so if the new candidate is op- posed to the adoption of the amendment as the voters in this district are some what divided on the question.

Local Data
Air Attacks on English
 Towns Part of System

Amsterdam, Feebruary 5.-While the recent German air raid on Paris was undertaken purely as a reprisal for French raids upon open German towns, the correspondent at Berlin of the Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant tele- graphs he has been reliably informed that the attacks on London may be classified as "a systematic action"
 One idea, the correspondent says, is to damage "the center of enemy com binations, the big harbor fortress and the center of the whole British war organization" but the principal object is that England will thereby be forced to maintain at the expense of the serv- ice at the front, an enormous barred aerial zone on the east coast to pro- tect the homeland. As result the Germans say they will be enabled sue cessfully to maintain themselves in the air on the west front.

Right of Counties

Montgomery, February 5.-(SpeciaL) Alabama counties have right under the Goode road law to levy 8 special tax on vehicles which are used on the pub lie highways, according to a. decision of the court of appeals Tuesday in the case of w. P. Windham of Coffee county, who was convicted of violating the Cof- fee county road law enacted by the board of revenue. Windham contended that the law did not give the county board authority. to levy the special tax, but the court of appeals said the law, while giving no such specific authority, contemplated that the board of revenue should make it's own rules governing the maintenance of roads and that it could not maintain the roads without funds. Windham attacked the law on other points, also, but they had been decided against him by the supreme court in sim liar cases in which the validity of the law was upheld.

Ship Prizes Condemned

Washington, February 5.-Condem- nation as prizes by Great Britain of tho steamers Kankakee. Hooking and Genesee of the American Transat- lantic company, seized in 1915, may af- feet the ownership of seven steamers of the same fleet now under requisi- tion by the United States.
 The prize court in England has de< clared that the ships belonged to an enemy fleet. If the privy council sus- tains that position, the seven ships found in American waters more than a year ago, and operated since then un- der the terms of requisitioned ships, in all probability would be seized by the United States.

 PEACE MEETING ENDED
 Seeming evidence that the peace nego- tiations at Brest-Litovsk are ended for the moment, or that they are proceed ing without the attendance of some Of the chief delegates of the Teutonic allies. is the fact that conferences took place in Berlin Monday between the German Emperor and crown prince and the. Bull garian premier, Count Czernin, the Aus Hungarian foreign minister, and the Turkish grand vizier. That knotty ques- tions were to be solved is also indicated by the fact that after the conference the Emperor presided over a crown council.
