For by your aid no longer stayed

The gallant French die in the trench,
The British line holds hard.
Come on! America!"
Your Northern pals arc here:
The bold Canuck has proved his pluck
Forever and a year

From far antpodes
The Anzac hosts have left their coasts
And leaped the worldwide seas.
Come on! American
The Italian cry is strong;
The land of art. the land OF heart,
Shall welcome you with song.
Come on! American
Behold the Portuguese,
Whose little land has made its stand
To shed its blood with these.
Come on! American
Your guns shall cast their vote
Against tho horde which lays the sword
Upon the Belgian throat.
Come on! Amcrica!"

Rooseveltian declaration, "Czernin lied" Clernen-
ceau now causes publication of letter OF March
Al, 1917, from Emperor Charles of Austria, in
which the latter plainly bids for peace, with resto-
ration of Lorraine and rehabilitation of Bel
GUM and Serbia as inducements.
year ago, Hindenburg was behind his line
Russia wasn't innocuous, Germany was having seri-
GUS industrial unrest" and Austria was groanng
with political and other sorts of collie. Publica-
tion at that time, of offer by Charles to throw
down Bill Hohenzollern would certainly have
caused the Teutonc autocracy awful intestinal dis
tress but the French powers treated the matter
as strictly confidential Publication at this date is
perhaps, a violation of confidence, but Clemenceau
doesn't care a whoop for anything biting Ger
many good and hard The letter will not now
have much effect in all likelihood, but Emperor
Charles thinks enough of it to hurry denial over
to his friend and master, Bill.
Emperoring seems to be rascally sort of busi-
ness There was Nicholas Romanof, fighting
against Germany and secretly trying to sell out to
her. And here's Charles, fighting with Germany
and secretly willing to ditch her. Running street

Whl the Germans abandon subna-
rine warfare as a failure? The Army
and Navy Register commenting on
this phase Of the military situation
has the following:
There are hopeful signs, mostly
idenuhed by the optimistic, that we
are well on the way Of checking the
submarine warfare Of the enemy. Il
Is predicted that by July ], the Ger
mans viii have been sufficiently dis
couraged IN that form OF attack n
abandon IL as a futile phase OF their
operations
A great deal is expected from the
use Of airplanes. with which there has
been considerable success, largely he
cause the aerial offensive has proyen
more effective lately than the en-
ploymeHt OF destroyers The latter
are naturally handicapped by fns1Jt-
fcient speed in overtaking a subrns-
rine before Il can protect itself by
submsrgence, while the airplane is
ABIDE to compass the distance after
sishting a submarine in time to de-
'IrNer leillnE DloW, with the addi-
tional advantage OF finding the sub
marine without the means Of doing
damage TO its adversary.
1t must have been with reference
TO submarine attack that Mr.. Llovd
George made his mysterious aIlusion
to the surprises which the Americans
had in deadly store for the enernv.
and IL must be considered that the
plans for such effective direction OF
force are well laid, else the British
premier would not have INDUCED in
so indiscreet a notice TO the foe, who
is now duly prepared for whatever he
may be able to conjecture as the oc-
casion Of Lloyd Georges promises
and threats. In the meantime. the
! submarine activities Of the enemy are
thriving to a degree that il far from
reassuring.

The Use of a Horn.

Speaking at a dinner, Senator John W. Weeks
OF Massachusetts, mentioned the innocence OF the
unsophisticated, and told the following story as
an example:
Until he went to visit his uncle on a farm, little
Willie had never been out of the great city where
he was born Walking along the road one day he
saw a COW, and naturally he wondered.
Uncle Richard" said he, pointing to the
brindle, what is that thing"
That is cow" the smiling rejoinder OF
Uncle Richard
And those things on its head besides ears,
returned Willie, what are they"
Those" was the amused rejoinder OF the
uncle are her horns"
They had not proceeded very far when the COW
loudly inooed. Instantly Willie stopped and looked
back.
"Say, Uncle Richard" said he, 81 wonder which
one of them horns it blowed."-Phiadephia Even
