A German Battle Hymn

If we wish to know the spirit in
which people make war, we go. not
to the guarded and formal speeches of
its public men, but to the songs that
the poets write and the soldiers sing !;
they come glowing from the red-hot
furnace of emotion that sustains the
power of the nation. 1t is illuminat-
ing, therefore, to read this translation
of battle song that was found on a
German soldier taken prisoner in It.
ally. William Roscoe Thayer, the his
torian of Italy, has made it public on
this side of the water.
The song is worthy Of the age when
the ancestors of the modern Germans
burst out of the gloomy forests of the
north to overthrow an earlier Italian
civilization. 1t is primeval, savage
it tells us what the Germans them
selves think of their diplomatists' as.
sertion that this was for them war
Of defense. If our readers wish to
see what wide contrasts there may be
between the war spirits of great ma
tions at war, let them, after reading
this, read Mrs. Howe's Battle Hymn
of the Republic.
Son of Germany in arms Forward
This is the hour of JOY and of glory.
Oh, our artillerist, thy powerful
cannon, thine invunerable brother,
calls thee; was it not made to renew
the world?
Oh, our rifeman, behold thou art
the force that wins; wherever thou
penetratest is Germany.
Oh. our cavalryman, spur, attack
overthrow let thy will spur on thy
horse like a winged victory. That
cowardly flesh Uhe ltalians) is made
to manure the fields, which shall be
thine and thy sons.
Son of Germany in arms, the great
hour has come.
Life does not finish, it passes on and
is transformed without rest the life of
the conquered is absorbed by the con-
queror the life of the slain belongs to
the slayer; see then how thou canst
gather on the breast of thy holy
fatherland the life of the world.
Do not bend to womanish pity to-
ward women and children the child of
the conquered has often been the con-
queror tomorrow and what will vic
tory avail of revenge comes tomorrow?
What sort of father wouldst thou be
if thou shouldst kill thy enemy and
leave alive the enemy of thy son?
Son of Germany in arms, forward
illuminate, shatter, beat down, trans
fix. devastate, burn, KILL, KILL,
KILL
The hour of glory opens for us.

THIELEN PLANS
LIBERTY PARK

The small park, or garden, at the
Liberty Temple in Portland was plan
ned by l.. M. Thielen, formerly local
landscape gardener. The Oregonian of
Sunday says:
while many have been charmed by
the wee park in the midst of busy
city street that surrounds Liberty Tenn
pie, few know that 1t is the city of
Portland that has made the arrange
ments and carried out the effect of
landscape garden built on top of an
asphalt street.
THE city collected floral display
of 50 varities of plants at cost of
nearly $1,000. The planning was the
work of l.. M. Thielen, landscape en-
gineer. The plants were taken from
the city parks, under his direction, and
boxed so they could be moved in good
condition.
Perhaps the most striking plants on
display are the camillias, most beau
tiful collection containing some of the
choicest that grow. Attractive, too,
are the laurels, both English and Port
ugese, several varieties of evergreen
viburnums, a veriety of veronicas, an.
dromedas, filarias, lex crenata and
lockwood. The plants are edged with
vinca minor and banked with tanbark
to obtain the massed effect.
Foliage effects were obtained large
ly by the use of various evergreen vi
burnums. The scarlet berries of the
aucubas have created much comment
among interested passersby. Then
there is the cosmantacus with its holly
like foliage, often taken for holly it
self The Oregon grape is also in
abundance.
1.-TWO big plants on either side of
the entrance to Liberty Temple are
Irish yew. No German plants have
been used or allowed in the wonderful
display of flowers and shrubbery.
at is the plan tosmaintain the floral
and shrubbery display as long as the
Temple stands. The plants will be
changed, however, as they go out of
bloom for others more in season"

SIMPSON VISITS RE-
hottest PLACES

When ] L. Simpson, candidate for
the Republican nomination for. COVER
nor, finished his recent tour Of central
and Southeastern Oregon, he had made
one of the most unique journeys ever
undertaken by a candidate for Office in
Oregon.
In many places he was the first man
ever TO appear in the interest of cleo
tion to the highest office in the state
This was true at Lakeview and other
points in the extreme south, which
formerly were reached only through
long journey by rail through other
states.
His campaign was carried to the
people of Oregon directly and in ali
the territory which he covered he was
able to see more than 10 per cent of
the registered voters. His system on
this is as unique as his tour.
Before leaving Portland he had in
his pocket a schedule which told him
exactly how many people he was to
see in each city. He made it point
not to leave town until a small pocket
indicator which he punched regularly
showed the required quota.
The appearance of candidate for
governor all covered with mud at the
tiller of a small auto led many to be-
lieve that Mr.. Simpson was indeed in
earnest in his endeavor to reach most
of Oregon before election time.
His journey covered more than l400
miles in this light car and was made
at time when the roads for the most
part were considered impossible. He
crossed the state first from The Dalles
to Lakeview and then went directly
east to the Idaho line, disposing of his
small ear at Ontario, where it was
raffled for the benefit Of the Red Cross
Chapter of that place.
In the 10 days that he was en- route
he made himself known and talked
over his principles with more than 1900
individuals besides talking on the Lib
erty Loan before audiences numbering
in all more than 5000 persons.

to assure an adequate supply of sugar
for home Gamers and the commercial
manufacturers Of preserves, Jams, jel-
lies and other foodstuffs, regarded as
essential, and excepted from the re-
strictions imposed.
Order Effective May IS.
The order becomes effective May Is
and puts all manufacturers using sugar
on strict rations. Makers OF the less
essentials, particularly candy and soft
drinks. will be allowed to use only 80
per cent of last years requirements.
Makers Of non-edible products are for
hidden to use sugar. Distribution of
sugar will be under a certificate system
which is intended to assure elimination
of fictitious demands
Ice cream is included in the preferred
class. the food administration explains,
to assure consumption of surplus milk
supplies and thus encourage dairy in
terests to maintain production. Water
ices and sherberts are not excepted. In
Washington manufacturers have ceased
to make sherbets because of the great
amount Of sugar required.
