London, July 20.-Despite four years
of fighting. some OF the German pris-
oners OF war are still obsessed by the
German idea OF conquering the world
That unaduIterated Prussianism still
exists in the German ranks is the con-
ciusion OF one British officer who has
interviewed a number of the German
prisoners. One OF them he describes as
AN intelligent university man." The
British officer quotes the conversation
as follows:

that by smiling and keeping cheer

The weary one or the doubtful at

And there's the golden gate Of

so very much. Lots Of these people
are without it simply because they

many people are without it because
Of untOWard circumstances. But
whatever the reason, the loss is just

I've thought a good deal about the
meaning that the old mariners saw

THE GOLDEN GATE.

A boy asks me whether the name
Golden Gate" was one bestowed
upon the harbor OF san Francisco
because that bay led to land Of
gold. He said that was the general
supposition as 10 the name.
"OE. no, my friend Of the screen.
The title Of Golden Gate had its rise
in a far more beautiful thing than
buried gold. Where you 10 APP
proach san Francisco by water, as
mariners did long ago. when the
hills stretched out to the water, un-
Inhabited except by wild animals
and birds. you would appreciate the
wonderful panorama that the ma
riners Of other times beheld, and
would exclaim, as they did, Truly,
a golden gate!"
What the visitors saw were hills
covered with golden peoples, all
glowing in the western sun, so that
the effect was dazzling in its beauty.
There seemed a lovely promise in
this shining floral reception! A sort
Of Joyous beam from the very bosom
OF nature, as though one might rest
on these hills with the brightness Of
happiness about them and the prom
ise of prosperity underground bleam-
ing above the surface. The gold Of
California fairly famed in its wild
peoples. and no sight could be more
enchanting.
This beautiful origin Of the name
Golden Gate makes one think Of
other golden gates, as symbolical
and as beautiful as this one We
have so many symbolic golden gates
in our lives, and it seems to me that
we might sometimes look them over
to see that the gold is all there and
the hinges oiled and the gates ajar.
There is the golden gate of happi-
ness, that is open TO the loving and
unselfsh souls and TO little children
everywhere. That gate is built of
love. and its hinges move on SYM
pathetic understanding We can
keep the gate open for many 10 en-

we must never subdue sympathetic
impulses nor withhold the spirit of
love.
And there's the gate Of inspira-
