He Has Not Gone
to Die.

lie has not gone TO die,
Though he may fall,
And far In Flanders lie
lie heard life call.
And knowing what It meant
His strength TO give
For Freedom, on he went
That he might live.
Dcathl There is no such thing
For honor's sons,
Who brave the laundering
And crash of guns
And in one mighty hour
Dare all for truth;
They snatch from Death grim power
Eternal Youth.
Not by some secret plan,
Nor space OF time
Docs life produce man
Superb, sublime,
Not In three.Score of years
Does manhood glow:
More than our gray beard secrs
Brave youth may know.
Only the coward dies;
Cliuging to breath,
Fearing 10 strike or rise,
His is a living death.
Lost In his soul to truth,
Dead is the heart within,
Wasted his strength aud youth,
Shame's grave has shut him in.
lie went to live one hour
For truth and right.
To rise TO mRnhood's power
And test his might
And If beneath that sky
He falls for truth.
His name shall never die
Life guards his youth

HUNS PLOT TO HIDE
PROPERTY OF ENEMY
Palmer Scizcs Three German Owned
Concerns In New York Under
Cloak OF Corporations.
PURPOSE is TO DEFEAT LAW
Federal Investigators Look for
Other Attempts to Evade
Turning Over Possessions.

NEW YORK. June 24--German
plots to hide enemy assets under
the cloak of American corporations

pose were revealed here today when
A Mitchell Palmer. alien property
Gust odian, took over three German
owned concerns with an aggregate
capitalization of $3,500,000 Federal
Investigators were reported by Mr..
Palmer to be on the trail of other
highly capitalized firms which have
used the same means to defeat the
law.
The companies in the group taken
over today were Dieckerhoff, Raf-
floer G. Co.. importers and manu-
facturers of notions at 500 Broad
way; Raffloer, Erbslch & Co., cord
age manufacturers, of the same ad-
dress, with plants in Cuba, and the
American Storage company OF Ha-
vana.
1t is charged that on May IL,
1917, three weeks before the United

many, George Carlton Comstock, a
New York lawyer, advised Ewald c.
Dieckerhoff, one of the principal
owners, TO safeguard MS property
Others involved are Rudolph
Erbslch of New York. a native of
Germany, but now naturaliZed
American; William II. Erhart OF
New York, and American citizen,
who has one sister married to Erb-
slch and another sister, Clara Err
hart Won Trchsess, who lives in
Germanyco
The scheme, according to Mr.. Pal.
mer, was devised to cover thest
German holdings by apparently sell.
ing all the German assets to one or
more American" companies and re-
ceiving pay for them in notes not
due for three years. abefore which
time 1t was expected the war would
be over, so the property could be

Lloyd George Considers Or
ganization in United
States Amazing.
ANOTHER BLOW DUE SOON
Next Few Months Will Be
Anxious Ones as Drive Is
Expected Daily.

LONDON, June 24.-Premier
Lloyd George announced today that
the next couple of months would be
anxious ones. There might be n
great blow coming in, the next few
hours, he said and certainly In the
next few days and on this blow the
issue OF the campaign might depend.
The entente allies, he added never
felt better prepared to meet 1t.
Premier Lloyd George said the
Austro- -Iiungarians were In full re-
treat. The question now was, he
added, whether they would be able
to effect a retreat
Mr.. Lloyd-George emphasized the
difficulty and almost impossibility
of dealing with Russia, with her
many differing and changing gov
ernments. He agreed, however, that
It would be to- the interest Of the
British people. and also just and
equitable, II Russia wanted 1t. that
Great Britain stand by Russia
The premier, who made his an
nouncement in the house OF COM
mons. referred to the amazing or
ganiZation which was bringing
American troops to France.
Enough Americans, he added,
"have arrived to satisfy the allies
and to disappoint and utterly de-
feat our foes"
Replies To Criticism.
Replying to criticism of the mill
tary policy and to suggestions that
the cabinet had overruled military
advices, Premier Lloyd George said
he thought Mr.. Bonar Law last week
had given all the information that
could be furnished at the present
moment consistent with military
prudence Naturally, questions
about the distribution ana numbers
of troops could not be -aEswered.
Concerning the American troops,
the numbers arriving since March
2l, said the premier, had been more
than satisfactory, and he added lit
Is an amazing piece of organization
which has enabled the bringing OF
such vast numbers of first-rate
American troops to France"
Mr. Hogge interposed: "The
figures ara admitted"
Mr. Lloyd George, waving his
arms, said:
"Oh, ali right. MY honorable
friend ought to be satisfied. l hope
the Germans are also.'
Breezy Alteration.
A breezy alteration arose be-
tween Mr.. Hogge and the premier on
reference to something said during
secret session. The incident was
provoked by the premier defending
his earlier statement that at the
opening Of the German offensive in
March the contending forces were
as nearly as possible equal
Dealing with the happenings since
then the permier said the Germans
had enormously exaggerated the
losses they had inflicted on the al
lies and 1t was just possible that the
allies might be eXaggerating the
losses einflioted on the Germans.
What was certain. however. was
that there had been a great drain
on the enemy reserves
