THE JOY OF PRETENSE.

Let's dream like child in its play
ing;
Let's make us a sky and sea,
Let's change the things round us
by saying,
They're things we wish them to be
And if there is sadness or sorrow,
Let's dream till we charm it away.
Let's learn from the children and
borrow
A saying from childhood "Let's
play"
Let's play that the worlds full of
beauty;
Lets play that the worlds full of
bloom;
Let's play there is pleasure in duty,
And light where we thought there
was gloom.
Let's play that the heart with its
sorrow,
Is hidden but joyous and glad;
Let's play that we'll find on the NOR
row,
The joys that we never have had.

THE RED CROSS BLOkE.
MY own turn came--it's part of
the game
In scrap we had before Loos,
When the blinkin' Huns tried to
pinch the guns
OF the 15th-never mind whose.
They tried and tried, and you bet
they died,
While we lost many chum.
When the message came through
Nov Lads stand to"
And the next was, Here they
comep'
We charged and yelled, an the line
we held,
But don't remember the rest,
For the earth spun round, and | hit
the ground,
With daylight inside my chest
When next l woke Red Cross Bloke
Was crossing that zone of death
An | watched him come through
that shrapnel hum
Just watched and held my breath.
He reached my side with q crawl
and glide,
An | blessed his crimson crest,
When he'd made me snug with a
comfy plug
In the painful hole in my chest
Then away he crept, and | must have
slept,
But when | awoke with pain,
| was down at the base IS hospita
case,
An booked down for "Blighty"
again.
We landed all right on a wet stormy
night,
But what did we care for the rain,
For a Red Cross Bloke fixed me ur
with a smoke
An crib on Red Cross train.
So that's why I'm here, feeling shaky
and queer,
In this clinkin' Red Cross bed,
With O. Red Cross nurse, when Tn
feeling worse
To lay cool things on my head.
'.n' though it all seems to be part of
my dreams
Yet | know it is not all hoax,
There are thousands today who are
ready to say,
Thank God for the Red Cross
Bloke.

 While the general scheme was of the nature of conspiracy, one could hardly call it a secret plot, as it's purposes were proclaimed from the house tops by retired officers and by it's subsidized press. It's purposes, some of which were above reproach, were all vitiated by absolute reliance on military force and financial cor ruption for their accomplishment, in utter defiance of the rights or the feelings of the peoples concerned. The ''lust for annexation" was the avowed moving spirit of the league. The machinations of this group oper- ating under the shelter of the dy-

Word was received by George c. Hazlett that the Red Cross Auxiliary of Katalla has raised $635 during the week of the drive. This is a splendid showing and it is doubtful if there is another community that has done as we'll per capita.

THE PAN-GERMAN UNION

Of the various combinations look ing at once toward monopoly, ex- ploitation, nationalism, and war, the most noted, as we'll as the most pow erful, is the "Alldeutchtum Vervand" or Pan-Germanist Union, says Dr. David Starr Jordan, in an article published by the Bureau of Informa- ton
 This was founded in April g. 1891. The immediate occasion was the exc change at the distance of the young Kaiser of the island of Zanzibar for the island of Heligoland Zanzibar was the key to vast colonial empire while Heligoland was useful poten- tially as naval shelter. This tran sacdon appeared to m&ny to Gacri- flee great colonial interests to a sec ondary matter of coast defense.
 The Pan-Germanist Union wcs op- posed to all policies of conciliation of whatever kind. This placed it in opposition to acts of the ministry in power, for no government can exist without a certain degree of concil- iat.On and compromise It's center was the agrarian nobility. With these were associated the great iron manufacturers, eXploitors of Asa and  Africa, the military generally and large group of ''intellcctua,s," pro- fessOrs, editors, travellers, clericals, lmperialists, eXpansionists, annexa- tioEists, militarists, titled gentlemen Of leisure, supporters of "a vigorous foreign policy"
 The society numbered in 1914 about 30,00O persons; 2,30O in foreign lands. It's primary function was the exalta- tiOn of the Germans world state, the control of all education in the inter- est of the world politics. the support of all nationalistic movements at home and abroad, and especially the support of German financial interests and the determination of foreign policy toward practical results.
 Among is ayowed plans was the consolidation of central Europe by the annexation by force of the Teu- tonic regions surrounding Germany Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, and Denmark. Another was the practical annexation of Turkey, by the expan- sion of the Bagdad railway, with the redemption and colonization of Mes OpOtamia. Other plans involved the seizure of northeastern France, not ably the port of Boulogne and the iron region of the French Lorraine.
 These plans were, in general, op- posed by the German Government as involving risks few prime ministers would care to undertake. Hence the necessity of developing, from time to time, a crisis, or stream of events" which would leave him no choice. BTailsfOrd asserts that it is "the func- tion of the prime minister to have
