Fooled to the Finish.

Berlin puts on her finest clothes, rings her
gladsome bells, and celebrates The Kaiser con-
graduates his people on what his armies have
done, and makes his eldest chief of regiment
of the Grenadier Guard, something else equally
as good. The German newspapers proclaim a
great victory on the Western front, which" they
add, "justi6es the hope of peace"
Alasl there is people wooden-headed that
they can be fooled all the time! There was no
great German victory on the West 'front.' There
was a great advance, only But, let the people of
Germany rejoice and be glad-before the awful
lists of German dead and manned come in.
Nothing had transpired to strongly justify
the hopes of peace. Every freshly slain Briton,
Frenchman, American another bar to peace.
Scores of thousands of new-made corpses make
an insurmountable wall against any sort of peace
forced by Germany.
The rivulets of blood, trickling to the Redeemed
Somme, Ancre and Disc today, flow toward an
ocean of blood every drop of which cries out
German mtarsm and the positive control of the
people who believe in it by the civilized nations.
Let Berlin celebrate, thoroughly, her very best!
The spirit and purpose of the allies are changing.
When her dead boys are laid in her arms, that
their cold, bruised faces may be washed by her
tears even Coumbias vision may change.
There are beasts that can be tanned and made
useful to humanity. There are beasts so inocu-
lated with the baci OF madness that they must
be put behind steel bars and be controlled with
hot irons.
Celebrate, while ye may, Berlin! Decorate,
while ye can. Kaiser But your dead and our
dead are not for .peace

Washington has been, for many months under
tremendous mental strain. The Investigations into
the war management departments and the expo

tributed to mental poise.
On top of this condition was piled the fact of
Germany's astonishing progress in her great drive,
and it is not at all remarkable that Washington's
mental equilibrium was upset
Indeed, the country in general was more or less

VISION.
BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE.


Out of the seas of war, whence flows the flood
Where raging nations intermix their blood,
There comes tomorrow when no man shall know
Which was the blood of friend and which of foe.
Out OF the dark distress of this tense hour
When man rends man and power is crashed on
power,
The spring sun sends aloft its shafts of white
And seems to see Of sad alright
Out of the tempests swirl which blinds the eye
Until the earth seems naked of its sky,
/ clear my eyes with tears and piercing through,
A wind-blown rift reveals an isle of blue
Out of the wrath, the ruin and the wrack
As if the burnt-out world were cndered black,
Yet through the Hastings of the furious Mars,
see the radiance of the pure-eyed stars.
The streams of red forever ntermixed
The white of morning freshening the air,
Stars in the heavenly blue forever fixed;
These make our symbol, let them be our prayerl

What "Comrade" Means in War.

A writer in the American Magazine
says:
81 saw one man coming whose
trousers had been torn clean away.
He was so caked with mud and blood
that his features were almost un-
recognizable. He did not walk. He
staggered from side to side. Some
times he almost fell. But on his back
he carried his comrade, his pal. who
couldn't walk himself.
Il looked at them, and the tears
came to my eyes-as they would come
to the eyes OF any man if he could
watch these walking wounded. But
those two? No tears from them, They
looked at me-and smiled.
1T. isn't only for their comrades
that they are willing to suffer. Over
and over again l have seen an Eng
lish Tommy, badly wounded himself,
take the cup of hot soup, or coffee. or
the tobacco our Y. NJ. c. \. men were
handing out, and give it to a wounded
German"

Lest Old Aequaintanee Be FORGOT.

Well, if here isn't Russia cluckng and giving

Trotzky proclaims universal military training,
BolShevik leaders at Petrograd declare that, if the
German offensive fails, it will give Russia chance
to renew the war upon Germany. and, round about
Odessa, the Bolshevk forces actually fighting
Germans.
We can suggest nothing of importance that Rus
sia might do, just now. However fighting Ger
mans improves peoples morale and Russia might

APRIL.

APRIL.
Here she comes with her beguilinG
Ways and sunny prospects smiling
Lovely APRIL with her showers
the lawns and bowers,
Making ready for the flowers.
She's perhaps a trifle fearful,
But at heart she's warm and cheerful.
And her tears are not of sadness.
But the ears of joyous gladness
To escape from Winters madness.
Rain or shine I'll not reprove her.
For with all my soul | love her
Since she leads me from the gray lime
OF bleak Winter to the play-time
OF the glad and blissful Maytime.
