MORE than the shepherd boy to iona
wi than
lseult to Tristan, Uther to Igrane;
More dear than sight to men born blind. or
To long parched trees; more deeply sacred
The chalice to the tender sacristan,
Was he to me- Higher than hope of gain
My love for. him, more keen than JOY or pain,
More dear than any maid to any man.
We loved not as the world loves, and he;
Our love was born of peril in strange lands.
Wild, windswept lands where lies were
blown away,
And men drew close to God The whining
spray
From the great sea of Truth drenched him
and me;
We loved; there needed not the touch
of hands.

Colossal In7pudence

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: OF all the colossal impudence shown
by the German nation this whining for
food from their conquerors is surely the
top notch of impudence.
Why should it be any worse for them to
have to starve than the Belgians, Serb:ans
Armenans?
These poor creatures, in addition to STAY
walton, had to suffer every kind of torture
and indignitv, which, thanks to US as civil
lied conquerors, the Germans will never be
called upon to suffer.
AS to the women OF Germany and their
whine of self-pity, would ask: Did they
show any ply or even decent feeling for
our unfortunate prisoners who were at
their mercy? And did not their women
and children rejoice and make a holiday

IN The neighboring world unseen. unheard,
Here arc but unhorzoned skies,
And on the skies passing bird
The comics and a wandering sheep,
The CASTINGS of the chambered mole

Lost agonies of blood and soul.
They say that in the midnight moon
The ghostly legions gather yet,
And hear ghostly tmbre-tune,
And see a ghoStly combat met.
These are but yeoman's tales And here
No marvel on the midnight falls,
But starlight marvellously clear,
Being girdled in these shadowy walls
Yet now strange blooms of ancestry
Creep on me through this morning light,
Some spectral self is seeking me

A Week of Verse
To My Friend, Killed During the
British Advance on Bagdad

From The Poetry ReuieW Of London)
T IMITLESS land
- Flung out beneath the blue,
| leave my friend of Home
To rest with you.
The freshness of an early spring
Into your care l give.
His blood upon your furnace-sand he shed
That you might live.
So grant him your long CA,
Your hospitality,
People your heaven with hone-like stars
Lest he may lonely be.
For him the song of fearless sport
Is dead-of Love, Of Life
Pale are the Avon stars,
The village light
l only know how we'll be loved
The fruitful English vale, the glen
Where walk our still-eyed maids,
Our quiet men.
Where meath the dreaming moon
The proud, sweet song
OF Brtain's steadfast heart
is DOTne aIOnS.
Valley of Evesham!
His very OWn-our own
Our laughter-gift from God
And ours alone!
Spread out Your clean white arms,
With blossom hands
Make cool his blistering grave
Of arid sands.
Carpet the neghborng plain,
Smooth the rude Tigris foam,
That he may see again the Worcester hills
And dream of home.
Lmitess land,
Flung out beneath the blue.
] leave my friend of Home
To rest with you.

STOP IRISH BILL
Both COnscription and Home
Rule Are Put OF.
Difficulties of Irish Situation
Cause Indefinite Wait.

London, May 2.-Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor of the exchequer and
government spokesman, declared in
the house of commons Wednesday that
he could not say when an Irish home
rule bill will be introduced. This
according to some lobby correspond
ents of the morning newspapers, COW
ers the fact that introduction of the
bill has oeen deferred and hope of it's
passage next week has now been
abandoned.
The Daily News says the govern
ment has met with serious difficulties
ir it's Irish policy and cannot find a
successor to Baron Wimborne, who
has resigned the lord Workmanship.
The only way out of the difficulties
is. in the opinion of responsible labor
members of the house of commons.
that the government temporarily
abandon both conscription and home
rule. It is nowise improbable, adds
the Daily News, that this course will
BIZ adopted in the near future.
sidelight is thrown on the difficult
issues involved by the meeting We'd
nesday of between fifty and sixty
peers and members of the house of
commons, both Cnionist and Liberal
who accepted an invitation of the
Navy League to discuss what to do
regarding Irish coastal defense in
event of the passing of home rule
bill. The meeting appointed delegates
to urge upon the committee drafting
the bill that the imperial authorities
ought to retain full control of Irish
harbors and ports, probably also rail-
re ads.
1t is reported in political circles
that the more extreme elements of
the Unionist party have stiffened late
~ against any form of home rule, and
letter fust written by Sir Edward
Carson % the secretary of the South
ern Unionist committee in Ireland
suggests that the rumors are well
founded. Sir Edward says in part:
In the present condition of Ire
land it seems to me little short of in
sanity for any government to re-
open the question of home rule. This,
indeed, is craftsmanship manufac-
tured out of panic and founded on
IL oxen pledges in breach of trust. If
we have to go down let us do so with
the flag flying and not in alliance
with those whose object is to gain a
vantage ground for enforcing further
separation policies''

He Lays Plans Before House
Military Committee.
Another Big Draft Call To
Come This Week.
May CALL 100000 IN MAY
Shipping Board Promises New
Million Tons.
General CrOWder Also COnferS
on Draft Measures.

Washington, May 2.-Accompanied
by Provost Marshal General Crowder
and General March. acting chief OF
staff, Secretary Baker appeared be-
fore the house military committee to-
day and presented the administra-
tons plans for a greatly increased
army.
The army appropriation bill has
been held by the committee for months
awaiting the return of Secretary
Baker from France that appropria-
tions might be made to accord with
whatever recommendations he wished
to make. The existing recommends
tIons contemplate an army of 1,1OO,-
600 men and whether this should be
raised to 100000 or 100000 rests
with the administration.
After the meeting Secretary Baker
said he had not discussed the number
of men to go into the army because
mention of any specific number set a
limit, while the only point of limit
is our ability to equip and transport
men"
Gave Out Statement.
Secretary Baker at the conclusion
of the hearing dictated. this state-
ment:
1.-The war department program was
presented to the house military conn
mittee this morning. 1t involved the
expediting of the training of the men
and the increasing of the army rap
idly as ability to equip and transport
them can be foreseen. The secretary
of war declined to discuss the numbers
of the proposed army for the double
reason that any specific number inn
plies limit and the only point of
limit is the ability to equip and trans
port men which is constantly on the
increase.
THE details of the estimates pro-
posed for the regular appropriation of
1888 will be gone into with the
committee, beginning at 10-o'cioclS to-
morrow morning. These estimates,
acted upon by congress will be sup
plemented by subsequent appropria-
tions as the facilities for the TRANSPORT
| tation and the additional equipments
increase.
Regarding the draft quota matter
there was a discussion. Secretary
Baker took the position that he de-
sired to have sufficient quotas based
on the number of men in class one
without the credits. There was no
change suggested as to the draft age
limits
