The PLAY of Hate

We know the hand that wrote the play
A withercd hand all red with blood,
That penned the plot, and set the stage
With FIRE and steel and then, in rage.
Turned loose the Redeemed Prussian flood
On Belgium fair. That set the fires
On Flanders slopes and turned the spires
OF holiness to rcddest flame
To light the tale of Prussian shame
We know the hand that wrote the play,
Then, palsicd, sought the hand of God!
We know the Prince of Blight and Blast
Who eyed the world with brutal smirk-
Who from the wings, called Hate and Lust
And trampled freedom in the dust
Til God, Himself, denied His work.
Who sought no other loot but life
The child-the ed-husband-wife-
No flesh too soft! And slashed the breasts
OF Womanhood until the Vests
Young spirit stirred, and joined the caste
Against the German and the Turk!
The plot is old! We know the end.
For always virtue must obtain;
Ten million players take their parts,
Their strength, their treasure, prayers aEl -
Against the leaden Prussian rain
Our prince and pauper, each arrayed
According to the part he played
Ere blood ran deep, united now
In brotherhood, and by the vow
10 follow freedoms glorious trend
Forgetting self and common gain.
a, And well we know who ends the play
'Tis you who build and fashion things:
Who match the eagles of the West
Against the Germans fleetest-best-
10 bear us peace on blessed wings-
You breeders Of the bird that trails
Above the anguish, tears and walls
Ot stricken men, then in trce
Returns reward for sacrhce!-
a carrion-bird, bird Of prey,
That picks the bones of brutal kingsi

The Real Sammy.

Hundreds OF orators in the United States grow
eloquent laudng "our brave boys across the seas
who are laying down their lives to make the world
free for democracy" So many Of us here at home
have come to picture every soldier over there" as
hero strutting around with his shoulders thrown
back head in the Clouds being who thinks OF
naught but the glory and gore OF war.
But that it seems, is not the true Sammy, the
American soldier fighting our battles against the
Huns in France. Reporter Lyons paints an alto
gether different picture of him. And Reporter
Lyon ought to know for he's been living with Sam
mics "over there" ever since Gen. Pershings forces
landed on French soil. He has marched with them,
trained with them, eaten with them, lived with
them in frst-line trenches and watched with them
out there in the listening posts in No Mans Land.
"The real Sammy in France" Reporter Lyon
writes to The Washington Herald, "is red-blood-
ed young devil He smokes cigarettes and swears
a good deal and kicks on the 'sunggullion' they
hand out to him; and he's got the idea that a
German is pig headed galoot who lets the Kaiser
and his crowd wipe their feet on him and likes it.
"Thc real Sammy is afraid of nothing in this
world and he's hard guy when he goes up against
ne Boche He doesn't go into battle with any
lofty ideas of laying down his life for his country
Rather he goes in with the fixed idea of killing just
as many Boches as he can without getting his own
hide punctured.
"'Of course, if the Boche gets me, I'll be out
OF luck, that's ALL is the way he puts it."
This, then is the type Of American soldier
the fellow who wins battles and takes trenches and
runs bayonets through the Huns!
Well, prouder of him than we ever were
before, and that is saying much!

The winning of the War.

Roland G. Usher. Ph.D., professor Of
history ut Washington University. St
Louis. has written very forcibly Of
the war. And we might say in con-
nection with this that those who have
entertained doubts as to the real pur-
pose and object of the allied nations.
they will do well to read his book.
The Winning OF the War"
Prof. Usher not only deals with the
objective of the allies in a mastery
manner. but also of those of the
Germans. We learn. too. something
that the wise heads OF this country
have already begun to recognize.
namely. a new German menace is
blocking the road to democracy. With
the shattering of their former idols
the Germans have, according to Prof.
Usher. set up an entirely new menace.
thing which We may well call the
weaning of the Teutonic Idea and its
growth to proportions that call for
drastic measures from the enemies of
autocracy. Prof. Usher thoroughly
analyses the progress so far made 5y
the allies and the Huns and tells us
the reasons why the allied victory has
been postponed. Harper e. Brothers
are the publishers and the book sells
for Sc net.

A Foolish Charge.

Nobody has done more to break up the old
time Washington lobby than the publishers of the
United States. No one knows the folly of the
lobby better than they. No would be less
likely to resort to it. knowing the sheer crudty
and clumsiness of lobby methods.

HOROSCOPE.
sunday, June =, Ie1S.


This is a day to be circumspect and
careful. according to sstrology. The
Sun. Venus. Neptune, Jupiter anc
Mars are all adverse. Mercury alone
being friendly.
During this rule Il would seem that
on land and sea great events are prob
able These will mean much to history
the seers declare, and publishers will
profit by them.
II is a most fortunate sway for al
who write. Newspapers come under
a direction making for larger de-
mands. more advertising and increased
profits.
The wise will avoid visiting relatives
or friends who may be in a position tc
extend favors. The rule is held az
unlucky since IL is likely to inspire
distrust and criticism on the part OF
those who have influence or authority
Love affairs are not well governed
for Venus is in evil place. Engage
ments entered into under this con-
figuration are likely to end in dissp.
pointment.
Again Neptune and Mars give warn
ing Of fighting on land and sea. All
the signs seem to promise victory. bu,
IL may come slowly.
Astrologers emphasize the impor.
tance OF self-sacrifice and thrift to
all classes of Americans. The need OF
the spiritual effect of unselfish pa.
triotism is apparent. they declare. in
Americas part in the redemption oi
the world.
While the readers OF the stars fore.
see for the United States a final su-
premc success in the war they repea,
their warnings against the national
impatience and tendency to expect
speedy results in every undertaking.
Business plans should be held in
abeyance during this conhguration
which tends TO reversals, distractions
and delays.
Congress continues subject TO influ-
ences that will prolong deliberations
and bring surprises to members.
Persons whose birthdate IL is will
have a profitable year, il they are
careful not to make any ventures in
investments. Those who are employed
should be careful.
Children born on this day probably
will be clever and gifted. but thess
subjects OF Gemini are often rash anc
