MOTHERS IaEFFAsLE LOVE.

q Somuwhere, from the blue sky up

 frown? Are there moments of infinite pathos, When she knows of his many defects; Or joy overfiowing possesses her. When her long cherished wish he re-

In the bosom of God she is resting; Is she now from all memories free, Or do ne'er severed bonds still unite With the boy that she held on her Does the blissful perfection of Prevent her from thinking of one Who looked up to her with devotion Does Mother still think of her son? Sometimes. when the shadows are
 darkest, It seems that dear Mother must know Of the trials that beSet her lonely baby, Of his joys. his brief triumphs, his
 woe; That the magicas wand of her pres
  Ger the stretch of the long vanished
 years, Still rises to guard and protect him And shield him from all earthly fears On, yes, there are hope and protec- ton
 In the ties of invisible love, Holding fast, through temptation and
 struggle, With a power that comes from Above; And that love fills my soul with new
 longing To look upon Mothers dear face, In the land where she waits to enfolG

 memory Comes a vision, ineffably pure, With the love light upon me stir

 From eyes. bright with purposes sure And when vision becomes lasting sub

 In that place Christ hath gone to pre-

 I shall knbw my steps thither wer,

ASTOUNDING EVIDENCE
IN S|NN FHN PLOTS
EXPOSES GERMAN INTRIGUE
MAY OR MAY NOT BE
GIVEN PUBLICITY.

London, May 23.-Evidence CON
cerning the German plot in Ireland
.il be submitted to the British cab
met today by Edward Short, chiel
secretary for Ireland, a press asso-
citation dispatch from Dublin re-
ports.
If it is thought any part of the
evidence could, or should be pub
lished, compatible with the public in
terest, it will be done, says the dis
patch, which adds:
1T can be stated on the best au-
thority that justification tor the ar
rests exists in the shape of astound-
ing evidence, but publication of the
same is a question affecting not
merely the welfare OF the prisoners,
but the well being of the empire"
In a dispatch to The Times from
Dublin it is suggested that the delay
in publishing the evidence OF the
German plot is due to the discovery
of new evidence since the arrests.
Discussing the prospects Of re-
cruiting under the arrangement Of
which nal,e was given in last Sat
urday's proclamation the dispatches
say that few persons believe the
scheme will be successful, as the at
mosphere, so far as the Irish public
is concerned, is decidedly unfavor-
able to voluntary enlistment.

Helpless Patients Sent to Death and
Many Given New Wounds-The
Latest Horror Perpetrated in the
Night by Score of Machines.


With the British Army in France,
May 23.-German airmen again have
bombed heavily British hospitals in
the area behind the lines, and this
time have killed and wounded some
hundreds among the personnel and
patients of many different hospitals
in the group.
Recorded in the casualty list are
the names of several nuns, who, with
other women nurses, stood bravely
by their posts throughout a terrific
deluge of explosives.
There is in the neighborhood one
large American hospital, and anoth-
er in which there are American
workers, but neither of these ap-

ner a number OF American doctors
and nurses were killed and wounded
when these same hospitals were
raided by the Germans.

their death-dealng bullets tearing in

hospital tents and buildings. \
three-seated airplane was brought
down by gun fire. The machine was
flying at a low altitude. and the
occupants were captured. The en-
emy captain and pilot sustained
comparatively light shrapnel wounds
while the observer was not hurt.
When questioned why he had di-
rected his men against hospitals. the
captain explained in a matter of fact
way that he didn't see the Red Cross
signs. lie said he was seeking mill
tary objectives and had no desire TO
molest hospitals.
With a shrug of his shoulders, the
German captain added that if the
British chose to build their hos
pitals near railways they must ex-
pect to get them bombed.

The captain spoke excellent Eng
lish. Asked where he had learned
it, he replied he had been in diplo-
matte service before the war.

into two phases, the first OF which
began shortly after 10 O'Clock and
lasted until II O'Clock. Not satisfied
with this the enemy returned az
