n nEAR little sad-eyed children of France.
~ Once on time, when the world was
gay,
In the streets of Paris you danced and
sang.
God grant you again happy day,
Sad little children of France.
Wan little weary-eyed children Of France,
In the streets of Paris you knelt to-day,
knelt at the sight of succoring flag,
knelt in the streets where you used to
play,
Heart-broken children of France.
We are thinking to-day of the long ago,
Kneeling children beyond the sea,
When your fathers came, with hearts
af1ame,
To us, in the name Of liberty,
Fatherless children Of France.
Fair by the side Of the Red, White and
Blue
The Stars and the Stripes in your streets
are a-blow!
Never so beautiful, now they glow
In the name of that help of the long
ago,
Kneeling babies of France.
You knelt in your streets as our flag went
Our flag with glory strangely new.
The stars Of heaven CLEANED in its folds,

the great tragedians of Greece and
frequently by modern authors. E1schylus
treats the story in a more ilnpersonal
fashion and gives little weight to the
character of Electra. Euripides "stars'
Electra and treats her in a highly human
and emotional fashion. Sophoclcs strikes
the mean between these extremes, showing
Electra as the chief figure in great epic
drama of evil and bloody deeds. Electra
is presented as a princess in disgrace in
the palace Of her mother, Clytemnestra
For years she has brooded over The crime
by which her mother killed her husband
Agamemnon on his return from the Trojan
war and married the interloper, Egisthos
To her this is fatal stain on the family
Year after year she has waited for the
return of her brother Orestes from a far
country, confident that he will accomplish
the deed.
At the opening Of the play Orestes, with
his friend Pyades, has already returned

that have been long weighing on her soul
All him wait for with unweared hope,
But he, alas! forgets
All he has met WITH all that l had

What message goes from me
That is not Knocked? For still he yearns
to come,
| And yet he deigneth not,
| Yearn though he may, to show hmse

And yet the larger portion of my life
Is gone without hope,

Strewn but to-day in that field of blue,
For you, O children of France!
Dear little war-smitten children of France
In our hearts is a prayer as the flag goes

For the flag we have vowed to glorious

For the flag aflame on far-away sky.
For God-and the babies of France.

 In Dilapidated Condition.

Firth of Forth Scotland, Nov. 2G The inspection of the German sur rendered ships is proceeding as rapid ly as possible The first division of battleships and four battle cruisers and destroyers left Scapa Flow today and by evening the Firth will be cleared of them.
 The ships are in deplorable state through want of paint and general neglect.
 London, Nov. 25.--After the in- spection of the German battleships and cruisers held by the entente and final settlement of their ownership by the peace conference, all tne vessels prob- ably Will b sunk as apparently there is no disposition on the part of entente to risk the controversies which would be likely in case of an attempted divis- ion of them. Naval experts will in spect the German craft carefully to learn whether they contain features unknown to the entente
 Describing the German warshps which surrendered to the British and are now interned ill Scarpa flow, the correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
 "The German admiral's flag, white With a thin black cross and two black balls, indivative of his rank, still flew at the main top gallant of the Freid- rich Des Crosse as the German squad ron moved moved between the British lines. It hung limp and dirty-typical Tn this state of all the German ships and their crews. The ships were in such condition that they looked like vessels laid by for breaking up pur- poses. They could not have seen paint for two years. Their sides, tunnels and bridges were covered with red rust and the masts were black with soot. The. guns even had not peen painted for months
 The Derfflinger was in better con- there was all appearance on board that discipline was still in vogue. On all the other ships the crews were lounging about, many on the quarter decks, not recognizing their officers. On the Defflinger, the officers were parading smartly about on their own quarter, and the men were clean and orderly. As we passed close to each ship the men crowded to the rail- They looked miserable and drenched and cold. Their clothing was non des- cript. There was an air of melancholy and depression everywhere. Ut was a pleasure to come from them alongside our own great ships. where everything was spick and span. Hearty sailormen with cheery face were at every porthole, and the quar- ter decks were occupied only by off cers. the commander marching brisk ly along in the traditional way, teles. cope under his arm.
 ''The German officers have been pol ite and no trouble whatever has been experienced with them. The British officers have rejected all advances of friendliness and have extended only
 the necessary courtesy"

AM|TY REIGNS IN ChlLE.PERU
 CONTROVERSY
Apology From Peru Ends For The Present Impending
 Break.

New York, Nov. 26.-Difficuties between Peru and Chile. which re- suited yesterday in recall of consul lar representatives by each nation from the principal cities of it's neigh DOT, have been overcome by an apo- logy on the part of the Peruvian government, Carlos Castro Ruiz, con- sul general of Chile. announced here tonight.
 A cablegram informing him of the Peruvian apology was received to- night by MT. Ruiz, according to his statement from the Chilean minister of foreign affairs.
 The message, the consul asserted authorized him to announce that the Peruvian officials admitted that in making public reports of outbreaks against their citizens in lquique and Antofagasta, Chile. they Tad acted on transformation. This was fur- nished, he said, by the Peruvian con- sul at 1quique, whose authority had been cancelled for this reason by tn. Chilean government.
 The apology sent from Lima. Mr. Ruiz added, was wholly satisfactory to the Chilean officials. and brought the misunderstanding to an end"
 The consul general stated that series of messages received from Santiago today denied reports of an- ti-Peruvian demonstrations in Chile The cablegram further announced, he said, that the dismissal of the Peru vian envoy at 1quique, had provok- ed in Peru a certain agitation that determined my government to au thorize its consuls in Chile to return home if the circumstances justified. ,
 Despite border dispute between the two countries, Mir. Ruiz declared that Chile had "the utmost sympathy for Peru and had taken steps to watch the frontier so as to prevent Peruvian revolutionists from receiv- ing arms or ammunition from com patriots residing in Chile." His gov- ernment, he added. had taken active measures to assist Peru in maintain ing stable government.

'WATCHFUL WAITING.'

Washington, Nov 26.-Though with out official information concerning the serious situation between Chile and Peru, the State Department is giving the matter close attention and it is regarded as possible taat an opportunity will. be found to tender the good offices of the American government to compose the contro- versy.
 The differences grew out of the old dispute between the two coun- tries over the border provinces of Tacna and Africa, formerly part of Peru, but held by Chile for many years. Press dispatches have dis cussed suggestions that the inhabi- tants of the provinces be permitted to decide the issue under the princi- ple of self-determination.

NO OFFICIAL NEWS.

Lima, Peru, Nov. 26.-The Peruvi- an government has not received of- fcial dispatches from it's consular representatives in Chile for AS hours, although it has recalled its consuls from Chile. The newspapers hero have received no news from their correspondents in Chile and it is be- lieved that strict cable censorship is in force at all Chilean ports.
 Peruvian consuls in Chile have been ordered to return by the first steam CT and the Peruvian steamer Uru- bama, now at Valparaiso, has been ordered to bring to Callao all Peru vians desiring to leave Chile.
 The reported cancellation by the Peruvian government of all the ex- quarters of Chilean consuls in Peru is incorrect.
