THE GOAL
BY Katherine Lee Bates Of The
VigiIantes.

BY Katherine Lee Bates of The
VieiIantes.
THE world has glimpsed a vision
1t shall not lose.
Not hatred nor derision
May disabuse
The nations, wronged and wronglng,
Misled, misunderstood,
Of their deep human longing
For brotherhood.
Love is the only healing,
Music that blends
All discords, light revealing
Foes as friends.
New fifes our youth enrapture
To a strife that shall not cease
Until their glad hearts capture
The Prince of Peace.
They shall return with singing,
Whether they come
In flesh or spirit, bringing
Their prisoner home.
Courage and faith have bound him
Fast in a shining chain;
The blossomed thorn has crowned him.
Beauty from pain.
Goal Of the toiling ages,
No longer far!
On through these battle RACES
Leads the star.
At last for decision
They fight in mortal feud,
Brute Force against the Vision
OF Brotherhood

GERMAN PRISON CRIMES NECITED

ut was here they had n peculiar
form of torture. Two big poles were
erected In the center of the camp.
The officers would pick out n couple
of men-for no apparent cause beyond
the fact that they were hated British
ers-and have them tied tightly to the
poles, with ropes around their arms
and their feet about an inch from the
ground. Then they would set bowl
of shadow soup-our only food-n
front of them, and leave them there
for 4S hours. Three times was given
this torture. OF course ones head fell
forward while in this position, and one
was compelled 10 look at the bowl OF
soup that could not be reached, while
hunger added to the pain of the tight
ropes and the terrible WEAKNESS OF
suspension.
Another favorite entertainment for
the officers was to compel us to run for
hours with our bare feet in wooden
sabots that chafed with every step.
We would run until we dropped from
sheer exhaustion.
"From Senne Lager went to Lin
berg.
AT Limberg we were inoculated
with some virus, which we were told
was to make us immune from typhus.
The strange thing is that soon after
75 per cent Of the camp came down
with what they called bronchitis 1t
developed into tuberculosis. 1t is to
this fact l owe my freedom. They
thought was dying from consumption,
and they sent me TO Switzerland TO be
exchanged. l guess they would be dis
appointed If they could see me nOw."
