10 tomb the ashes of my Solaier-Son
And the glory be hath won.
The Seven Seas shall coffin him
And the glory he hath won.

With snowy foreheads barred
Curved to the zenith hrctic lioh+s
Their funeral torches harcd.
The borealis tossed on high
Her crimson arms to heaven
The depths of the sea were aphast and

And the heart of the floods was riven:
"A roar, mighty flame
Split wide the shuddcring wave
And grandly went Lord Kitchener
Down to his ocean grave!

it is not az all remarkable that Washing

yet, when the great drive came and tho
armies Of Britain and France fell back, mile

very little in the matter! Many GOOD

Resolute Optimism

At a time when the powers of the
German war machine seem at their
optimum, such an utterance as we re-
print in an adjoining column from the
Hon. George E. Roberts, former Director
of the Mint, is Of deep reinsurance.
"The German military power" says
Mr.. Roberts, twill never dictate ne
terms of peace though her armies should
sweep Europe to the shores of every sea.
Germany will know no peace or world
intercourse or prosperity at home with
the German name detested in half Of
Europe and in all the rest of the world"
The bases Of this resolute and clear
eyed optimism are set forth with calm
faith in the power of ideals which one
does not usually associate with an econo-
mist or financier.
1t is very good to read.
New-York tribune., 1918-04-09
Poilus All

Americans have natural distaste Cor
insignia-unless it be for insignia like
those of our fraternal societies, which fur
nish their own comic relief. This dis.
taste is rooted in our early history,
haunted, as it was, by fears of monarchy
and extremely distrustful of all the old
monarchical paraphernalia.
The Constitution does not permit per
sons in the service of the United States
to accept present, token, emolument or
title from any king, prince or foreign
state without the consent of Congress
And Congress has always made the
wryest of wry faces over granting such
consent.
This prejudice did little harm in the
past. But it is doing harm now Our
soldiers are fighting on French soil The
French government is anxious to show
appreciation of every deed of valor which
comes to its notice. 1t has already
awarded military decorations to MANY
Americans. But they are debarred from
accepting or wearing them. They must
wait for an authorization from Congress.
The situation is vexatious. The mill
tary medal is one Of the great spurs te,
discipline and soldierly spirit It's be-
stowal is one Of the most moving OF all
ceremonals. 1t stirs the soldiers pride
and imagination. Not to allow our men
to share this inspiration with the polus
is to commit a military folly.
The Senate has passed a bill hermit
ting all American soldiers and sailors to
accept and wear foreign decorations.
The House of Representative has baked
at passing it. That is mistake. The
men who serve in this war are entitled
to all-embracing recognition. Let them
wear all the crosses and medals they can
win-French, British or Italian. All are
symbols now of democratic equality ir
glory and suffering.

esting development: The use of beer
and wine is a genuine pleasure to mill
ions of people. But it is severely frowned
upon by business. And it is threatened
with suppression mainly, we again
imagine, for purely business reasons.
Which seems to imply that soon the
generality of mankind, only small part
of which takes any real enjoyment in
music or literature or the arts, must gain
its pleasure, if any, from the pursuit of

By the Hon George E. Roberts The National Monthly

Ty%HE German authorities have frankly
staked everything on this effort. They
have declared that this is to be the
decisive blow, have rallied their armies by
reinforcemonts and cheercd the country
with the hope Of carly peace as the result
of victory. If they fail to break through
after doing their utmost, and after ondur-
ing the terrible losses which they must suf-
fer, the disappointment will be bitter and
the loss OF morale inevitably great The
United States VIII become constantly more
formidable factor in the situation, and the
possibility Of German victory Will grow
more and more remote and improbable
If the worst should happen and the Ger
mans should succeed in driving wedge
between The French and English armies. and
even established their superiority on
land for time they would be still long
way from a position whcre they could
dictate a peace to suit their ambitions, for
command of the sea would remain with the
United States and Great Britain
No Peace
There will be no reace, no matter what
occurs tho continent Of Europe, until
the purposes for which the United States
entered the arc realized. They viii
be realized, not alone because the people
of the United States will stand immov-
ably for them, but because the whole world
outside Of Germany and he: three allies
will stand for them.
Those purposes do not involve the sub
lection of the German nation or it's exclu-
sion from opportunity in The world OF trade
and industry; that has been sufficiently rcit-
Grated They call for the vindicaton of
certain principles of public right, which
were violated by the ultimatum to Serbia,
by the attack upon Belgium and by the
violation OF neutral rights upon the high
seas.
The world outside of the offending ma
tions is one in its judgment upon these
acts, and the German military power will
never dictate the terms of peace, though
her armies should sweep Europe to the
shores OF every sea. The United States
can live without Germany, and, If need be.
even without Europe, but Germany viii
know no peace or world intercourse or
prosperity at home with the German name

of the world. She viii have to send her
war chiefs to the rear before she finds

q DON'T WANT TO LIVE"
GRACE LUsK MOANs
Every Precaution Is Taken to
Prevent Convicted Woman
From Killing Herself

WAUKESHA. Wis. May 3o.-When
Grace Lusk, convicted of murder in the
second degree last night, awoke today
from a sleep induced by opiates, she
moaned: II don't want to live. l don't
want to live.
The conviction, which was for the
killing of Mrs. Mary Newman Roberts,
carried a sentence OF from fourteen TO
twenty-five years Imprisonment. Owing
TO the prisoners condition, however
Judge Lueck intimated that he would
not pronounce sentence until Miss LusH
is more composed.
Meanwhile, every instrument by which
she might do herself injury has been
removed from the cell, and beyond her
reach.
When the verdict was delivered Miss
Lusk made an attempt to choke Special
Prosecutor Tullar but was overpowered
by court attendants and led, screaming,
from the courtroom.
The verdict carries with it sentence
Of from fourteen TO twenty-five years
in the penitentiary.
When the jury retired Miss Lusk col
lapsed and it took half an hour to pre-
pare her to be brought to court to hear
the verdict.
When the verdict was announced Miss
Lusk sprang at the throat of d. S. Tul
lar. special prosecutor, who is nearly
sixty years old, and screaming He lied
he lied" she shook him back and forth
in his chair at the counsel table. Sew
eral men seized her and she tainted.
Several minutes later. when she had
recovered, her aged father and one Of
the attorneys were attempting to lead
her from the courtroom when she again
! turned toward Tullar and attempted to
escape from the men who held her.
THAT mans son lied" she shouted
Maurice Tullar swora my life away"
| She continued to struggle and Shrek
until she was dragged away.
Maurice Tullar, now in a sanitarium,
/ is the district attorney and at the trial
| swore that four days after the shoot
| ing he obtained a statement from Miss
Lusk in which she said she realized
why she had shot Mrs. Roberts, but
could not understand why she had done
! il so calmly and deliberately
! D. :. Tullar was appointed special
prosecutor at the trial by his son. who
was unable to act because OF his i'll
ness.
! Several hundred spectators. mostly
women. stood with tears streaming
down their faces during the outbrr" g..
The jurymen stood in their places with
ashen faces as though paralyzed, and
during the second outbreak shrank away
! from Miss Lusk as she was led scream
| ing past the jury box.
| Mrs Roberts was killed by Miss Lusk
| in the latters home on June 81, 1917.
after DR.. Roberts had told his wife OF
! his relations with the defendant, who
at that time was a teacher in the Wau-
esha normal school,. Following the
shooting, Miss Lusk fired two bullets
into her own body but failed in her at
! tempted suicide.
