minimum program for peace discus
sons was formulated by Foreign Sec
retary Won Kuehlmann in his speech

Volks Zeitung. The foreign secretary,

beyond Germany's vital necessities or
that vitality threatens other countries.
The Germania of Berlin considers
that the speech opens wide the field

While the Italians have been

northwest of Chateau Thierry,

The attack was launched Tuesday
night with the purpose Of driving out
the few remaining nests of Germans
in the wood--nests from which en-
emy parties constantly were harass-
ing the Americans. 1t followed hur-
ricane of artillery fire, the intensity Of
which stunned even those of the Ger
mans who previously had gone
through the terrific drum fires Of the
British~and French. The hammering
of the guns was kept up for IS hours
before the infantry set out to accom-
plish its task, and the havoc wrought

All the positions still held BY the

are going on along the entire front.
The Rome war Office reasserts that all
the artillery lost by the Italians to
the Austrians in the initial stage Of
the fighting has been recaptured.
On the battle front in France and
Flanders the operations continue of
a minor character. The British, both
in Flanders and Picardy, have carried
out successfully attacks against the
Germans and taken further prisoners

French, northwest of Montdidier. have
raided an enemy position, inhictine

MobiIizina Harvest Labor.

Steps for the systematic mobiliza-
ton of farm labor in Kansas were tax
en- at a meeting held in Kansas City,
May IA. This is the first of a series Of
meetings which are to be arranged by
the department of agriculture in a
number of cities to unite the efforts Of
all agencies working to secure labor to
help farmers in harvesting their crops.
At the Kansas City meeting commit
tee was appointed to direct the work
of the various agencies in the state
and to see that registrations are held
in the cities where city employees
who will do farm work during their va
cations can register. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 helpers will be necessary
to harvest the crops in Kansas this
year, and the commercial organiza-
tons in Kansas City have undertaken
to supply 10000 of this number.

CRADLE SONGS ARE ANCIENT
Words Often Seem Meaningless Jum-
BILE; Melody Always Within Conn
pass Of Home Voices.

Almost all popular cradle songs are
very old. some of them so old that.
were they not familiar. they might be
considered the veriest curiosities of
literature. Through all the changes
OF language they have held their own
upon the lips and in the hearts of the
people From mouth to mouth they
have come down through the years
with an Irresistible swing of rhythm
and patter and Jingle of words till
they seem to have been rather a nat
ural growth than a human invention.
In all the melodies, observes a wri-
ter, there is certain likeness of
rhythm with a national, might say a
temperamental difference of movement
and a meter from the slow assured
major of the German to the wild plain
tive minor of the Scotch, characterized
by the short accented notes or the
weirdness of the Hungarian with its
sudden changes.
That these old songs should have
embodied and retained the character
istics of the people among whom they
originated gives them an importance
which their crude words and the ele-
mentary character of their melodies
scarcely seem to warrant. The words
often seem mere meaningless jum-
Bile. the melody is always within the
easy compass of home voices. No
doubt both express. in some supernally
wise way, the one unalterable senti-
ment Of maternal love.
