DEMOCRACY FIGHTS ON.
By Herbert kaufman.

God Himself cannot make an "ante
statu quo" peace. The paths to Yes
terday are irretraceable-the ruins
that line them, irreplaceable. Yes,
land can be returned, but who shall re-
turn their clean souls to seized wom-
en-? What of the Lusitania and the
towers of Louvain? How shall
Spring be made to dance before blind
eyes? How may the sweep Of a pen
decree Easter in Flanders and bid
slain legions rise laughing from the
sod?
"Ante statu quo!" Meaning, "Things
just as they were"
Thus would the Prussian offer pen
ance. Thus would we win the war and
he the score. These are the terms on
which he'd sheathe his hate.
Such peace must all the more con-
vince the German people of their
superior quality and the superiority of
their political system.
How can an uninvaded, prevailing
empire, with still invincible armies on
every front, be expected to repudiate
leaders whom combined Christendom
can't defeat.
Isolated, self financed, self-nurtur-
ed, and terrifically outnumbered
Prussia may we'll read victory in a
stalemate.
Peace with Junkerdom would be
equivalent to treaty with the Mis-
sissippi-and as futile. So long as
outlaw rivers and races command old
sources and follow old courses, both
will break bounds at flood-tide.
Shall the cobra escape full-fanged
Shall the Rhine Monster live on to
SOW. the world with dragons teeth
again? Shall the foul death Of kins-
men on violated seas eternally stain
our flag? Shall Mohammed's knife
be left at Asia's throat? Shall Sc
dams shame remain unwashed from
French banners and ravished Belgium
cry her debt in vain, while Hun and
Turk ride free with sanguine hands
and our hot, knightly oaths for loot?
Kaiser, though justice cost the half
our blood and gold, We'll not have less!
Democracy fight on.-March Cos

MOTHER Is DOING HER BIT.
(Sent to The Robesonian by Lille
Mclean, Pembroke.)

Mother can't join the army and moth
er can't go to sea,
But mother can do her bit, you bet,
whatever her bit may be..
She's up in the morning early, she's
late to her bed at night,
Yet she sings a song the whole day
long that shows she's full of fight
It's Columbia, Gem of the Ocean that
echoes through kitchen and hall
A melody sweet, yet. as sturdy, as
though 'tWere bugle call.
She starts the children off to school, a
flag upon each breast,
A symbol sweet, she tells them, of the
land they love the best.
Then mother gets the houseWork done
and hurries off to town,
There to do a woman's part in Red
Cross cap and gown.
And all along the table where the
bandage makers sit
They hear her hum Columbia" and
= see her do her bit.
Mother can't join the army, and moth
er can't go to sea,
But mother can do her bit, you bet,
whatever her bit may be.
She doesn't go round complaining be-
cause she isn't man,
Instead she sews, and sings, and hoes
and does the best she can.
For, Columbia, too, was woman, as
pictured in story and art.
And mothers our mother Columbia
patriot doing her part.
