High Tide at Gettysburg

High Tide at Gettysburg
A cloud possessed the hollow field
The gathering battles smoky shield.
Athwart the gloom the lightning flashed
And through the gloom some horsemen
dashed.
And from the heights the thunder pealed.
Then al the brief command of Lee
Moved out that matchless infantry,
With Pickett leading grandly down,
To rush against that roaring crown
Of those dread heights of destiny.
Far heard above the angry guns
A cry across the tumult runs
The voice that rang through Shiloh's
woods
And Chickamauga's solitudes,
The fierce South cheering on her sons!
All, how the whitening tempes, blew
Against the front of Pettigrew!
A khamsin wind that scorched and singed
Like that internal fame that fringed
The British square at WATERLOO!
A thousand fell where Kemper led;
A thousand died where Garrett bled;
In binding fame and strangling smoke
The remnant through the batteries broke
And crossed the works with Armistead.
"Once more in Glory's van with metz
Virginia cried to Tennessee;
''We two together, come what may,
Shall stand upon these works today!'
The reddest day in history.)
Brave Tennessee! In reckless way
Virginia heard her comrade say:
"Close round this rent and riddled rag"
What time she set her battle flag
Amid the guns of Doubleday.
But who shall break the guards that wait
Before the awful face of Fate?
The tattered standards of the South
Were shriveled at the lannon's mouth,
And all her hopes were desolate.
LII vail Tic 1 cuucSSccdu SCI
His breast against the bayonet!
In vain Virginia charged and ragged,
A tigeress in her wrath uncaged,
Till all the hill was red and welt
Above the bayonets, mixed and crossed,
Men saw gray, gigantic ghost
Receeding through the battle cloud,
And heard across the tempest loud
The deathcry of nation lost!
The brave went down! Without disgrace
They leaped to Ruins red embrace:
They only heard Fame's thunders wake,
And saw the dazzling sunburst break
In smiles on Glory's bloody face.
They fell who lifted up hand
And babe the sun in heaven to stand!
They smote and fell who set the bars
Against the progress of the stars,
And stayed the march of Motherland!
They stood who saw the future come
On through the fights delirium!
They smote and stood, who held the hope
Of nations on that slippery slope
Amid the the cheers of Chrlstendom.
God lives! He forged the iron will
That clutched and held that trembling hill.
God lives and reigns. He built and bent
The heights for Freedoms battlement
Where floats the flag in triumph STILL
Fold up the banner! Sme1t the guns!
Love rules. Her gentler purpose runs.
A mighty mother turns in tears
The pages of her battle years,
Lamenting all her fallen sons.

For God and Country

''Let the wicked forsake his way, and
the unrighteous man his thoughts; and
let him return unto the Lord; and He
will have mercy upon him; and to our
God for He will abundantly pardon"
With this admonition from the Book CT
Isaiah, 55:7, DR.. George w. Shelton, pas
tor of the Second Presbyterian Church of
Pittsburg, Penn, delivered most stirring
address on the Gospel of Second Chance.
The Reverend gentleman, was introduce
ed by our Chaplain, Reverend C.. E. Ben
son, to whom is due the credit for great
many intellectual blessings we have receiv-
ed in the past.
DR.. Shelton made himself at home from
the start and demonstrated to the satisfaction
of the audience that he was their friend and
intended to address them as man to man.
After the singing of America and The Star
| Spangled Banner, by the entire audience, he
liberated few facts concerning prohibition
that evinced penetrating insight in regards
to the subject. Shrewd, sharp, and witty,
the address was one that will long be re-
membered by the inmates.
Before closing. the Reverend speaker re-
quested the permission of his audience to
carry a message of 'Vote For Me-" back
to the outside world. The audience readily
agreed, with an reclamation of 'I," that
was unanimous.
Reverend Benson then introduced DR..
A. Westberger of the Second Presbyterian
Church of Minneapolis, who was informed
that he had ten minutes to tell his story.
DR.. Westberger does not allow such little
matter as time to worry him when he has
something to say. He turned the clock
ed forth into an attack on the Stacker who
refuses to do his duty, that brought forth
repeated applause and hearty laughter from
the audience.
DR.. Westberger interspersed his remarks
with many witty sayings and anecdotes con-
corning his experience as an advocate of 100
per cent patriotism. The learned gentleman
is not to be terrified, and can evidently fight
as we'll as he can preach.
DR.. Geo. w. Shelton is member of the
Flying Squadron of America, group of
eight men giving their time and attention
to making of this dry America.
Reverend Benson is to be thanked and
congratulated for securing two such promi-
nent speakers to address us.-Percy We're.

for shell and airplane attacks
There is a regular system Of drill in

take cover although many are unwilling to
do So If possible they are advised to take
refuge in cellars.
According to last reports the airplane at
tacks were much more dangerous than the
shelling The shell is not able to penetrate
more than two floors Of an ordinary house
Hence persons on the lower floor Of a solid
building are quite safe. Some airplane
bombs, as is we'll known, have force enough
to demolish an entire building.

r TNDER the menace Of the German
seventy mile freak gun the Parisians
are making tremendous preparations
TO protect their priceless art treasures from
injury.
Paris would probably be classed by artists
as the most splendid city In the world.
Venice and Florence rival each other for
the honor Of being the world Is most beauti-
full city. It is a sad fact that all these
wonderful places are exposed to the destruo-
tive rage of the Hun.
To protect Paris Is tremendous task.
1t is a vast metropolis as well as city Of
art. Compared to it such places as Florence
and Venice are of trifng extent The
palaces, art galleries, monuments statues
fountains churches, that stand in urgent
need of protection in Paris, are numbered
by the thousands. Many Of the towns around
this city, suburbs as we should say, such as
Versailles and ST. German, possess treasures
but little less valuable than those Of the
capital
The Partisan monuments have for some
months been in danger from the huge Ger
perpetrated three recent raids. Within q
few weeks the danger has been greatly IN
creased by the operations Of the new German
long range gun, which fires its shells from
the forest of St. Gobain, about seventy-fve
miles from Paris, into the city
The shells are Of slight explosive force
and their damage is mainly confined to the
exterior of the buildings and monuments
they strike. On Good Friday, however, one
OF the shells penetrated the roof of q ye,.y
ancient and famous church and killed a
number Of persons among the congregation.
photographs received from Paris give q
very interesting view Of the arrangements that
have been made to protect the city's monu
ments A strong wooden scaffolding of tim
bers as much as four inches~thick is built
around the object to be protected. There is
platform at the top covering the monument.
= Around and above this wooden FRAMEWORK,
are piled sandbags about two feet In thick

ness. Thousands of them are used in the case
Of some large monuments Sandbags have
proved very efficient in giving protection
against fragments of shells and bombs and it
is understood that they will stop shell from
the long-range gun. An iron framework will
be used instead Of the wooden scaffolding in
some places.
Enormous labor has been expended in pro-
tecting objects in and around the Place de To-
Concorde. This has been famous for over a
century as the finest. open space in any Euro
pean city. The statues in the Place de la Con-
corde are very beautiful and around it stand
some of the finest public buildings in the city.
On one side is a row Of splendid ancient pal

square, open place in the centre of the city, II
probably presents one of the best marks visible
from the skies. The raider aiming a bomb in
its direction would have strong expectancy
of damaging some object Of beauty or i'm
portance.
In the great Chapel OF the Invalides, on
the left bank of the River Seine stands the
tomb Of Napoleon, the greatest soldier of all
history. German who could succeed in
wrecking the tomb of Napoleon and church
at the same time would surely win eternal
fame and honor in his own country.
Not wishing to afford any Hun aviator this
supreme distinction, the French Government
has taken especially great pains to protect Ma
poleon's tomb. Sandbags by the thousand
have been placed against the outside of the
church and around the tomb within.
The great Colonne Vendome, made entirely
Of cannon captured by Napoleon in his bat.
ties, has received adequate protection. This
was great undertaking.
The beautiful angels that adorn the door
ways of.Notre Dame Cathedral will be hidden
for the rest Of the war. Very extensive pro-
tective work has now been completed at the

omphe, tho Church Of the Madeleine, the

aces that now do duty as public ministries.
Just across the river from this centre Is the
Chamber Of Deputies.
The decorations within the Place de la Con-
corde include the famous statues personifying
the chief French cities, among them those Of
Strasburg and Metz, ravished from France by
the Germans in 1870 These have now been
amply protected by sandbags
In the centre of the Place de la Concorde is
beautiful fountain containing figures SYM
bolical Of French rivers such as the Rhone,
Seine, Loire and Garonne. They have also
received defensive covering.

gun ana acroplane have been
splendid. This attitude Of the
people has done more than
anything else to make the
German atrocities Ineffective.
These atrocities could hardly be
expected to do much material
damage except to delicate
works of art, but the Germans
hoped they would disorganizs
the industrial life Of the city.
The Parisians have heroically
proved this impossible.
Most remarkable has been
the courage Of the Partisan
workgirls who form SO con-
spicuous a part Of the popula-
ton Of the gay city. In other
times they were largely EN-.
ployed in dressmaking and
the various luxury trades for
which Paris was noted. Now
they are doing many kinds Of
hard and serious work. In

ablebodied young men at the
front they carry on an import.

HUNS ARE DtLUG|NG SAMMIES
 WITH HEAVY FIRE
Rain Shells on American Trenches After Raids
 Failure, Little Damage.

With the American Army in France March 4.-There was extraordinary artillery activity Saturday along the American sector on the Foul front since Fridays attack was repulsed The enemy, apparently angered by his failure is trying to punish the Ameri- can troops with the deluge of shells but not much damage has been done Two thousand shells of all calibres were counted along the front from noon Friday until noon Saturday while many more fell uncounted. Some l0-inch projectiles battered positions behind the American line.
 American infantry and engineers who had been cleaning up the scene of the fight Friday found some bodies buried Among them was a surgeon of the reserve corps and a stretcher bearer who was killed when a shell hit a first aid station.
 Another German prisoner has been captured in front of the American wire entanglements. He had lain there wounded for many hours before the Americans discovered him and shouted Come out" He refused and d DdtIOl WcuG OuJ iCtIll llIIi III. One of the German prisoners taken during the fight has since died. Among the Germans dead who have been buried were the lieutenant and captain leading the attack. The latter was taken from the American wire en- tanglements On his body was found a complete plan of the American po- sitiOn.
 Gas shells were dropped into one town back of the American line early Saturday morning, but only few eases of gas poisoning have developed around here so far.
 All the prisoners taken by the Americans say they do not believe Germany can win the war. They did not want to fight but had to.
 Some of the Americans missing have been found.
