Lullaby for a Baby Tank
(Apologies to Lord Tennyson)

SQUAT and low, squat and low,
~ Tank of the western front,
Feared by foe, brave Gouraud
Welcomes thy features blunt.
Over the rugged trenches go
Crawling from Scissors or Belleau,
Trundle forcshortened runt.
Creep, my little one, over each brittle
Hun, creep.
Creep and rest, creep and rest,
Rest on the Teuton's toes;
Sleep, sleep on the France we'll keep,
Victory bring thee repose.
Lie in thy cradle-a crater depressed
Deep as German hopes in the west,
Sunk in their August woes.
Sleep, my gritty one, wee, unpretty one,
sleep.
H. T. CRAVEN.

LAST RITES FOR A LIE

TNHE intermenU services held along the
1 Avre over the Francois b!ed-white" il.
lusion had the merit of complete finality.
Even Germany must confess that her
favorite lie has been buried
The Hun troops in this region were de-
feated the other day not by SHOCK"
legions, but by what are known as sector
divisions" composed of men whose func
tion was supposed to be purely defensive.
The brilliancy of their aggressive attack
surpassed even French expectations.
The only thing white about France is
the incandescent flame of victory which
refuses to be extinguished.

When Ny Ship Comes In

When My Ship Comes In
Years ago I used to say: d"
This III do and that I'll do
If my ship comes in today.
With gold to spend and give away
That was ere I had met you.
Then remember how we planned,
Sitting in the summer glow,
What dream-riches we'd command
When our treasure ship would land
That was ere you had to go.
Now there's but one ship for me,
Just a transport, battered. too;
But what gladness there will be
When peace flashes DER the sea
And my ship comes in-with you!

The New York Times has called atten.
ton to the fact that one of William
Blake's engravings to illustrate Dantes
Inferno shows a fend whose face looks
remarkably like that of the Kaiser.
An equally interesting forecast seems
to us the following passage !n Blake's
America, a Prophecy" published in 1898:
Solemn heave the Atlantic waves between
the gloomy nations,
Swelling, belChing from its deeps red
clouds and raging fires.
Albion is sick America fants Enrag'd
the Zenith grew.
AS human blood shooting it's veins all
round the Orbed heaven.
Red rose the clouds from the Atlantic in
vast wheels of blood,
And in the red clouds rose Wonder Ger
the Atlantic sea
Intense naked a Human fire, fierce glow
ing, the wedge
OF iron heated in the furnace his terrible
limbs were fire.
With myriads of cloudy terrors, banners
dark. and towers
Surrounded: heat but not light went thro'
the murky atmosphere.
This may certainly be conceived as a
very impressive vision of the submarine
pestilence and the gathered lightnings of
American vengeance. And Blake's poem
goes on to a remarkable passage which
also predicts the American Civil War. The
only difficulty about the prophecy, which
stultifes it for these days, is that Blake
also seems to foreshadow a war Of exter-
mination between England and America.
After all, one has to take prophets in
small doses.

LIEUT.. O'BRIEN PUTS
ALL GERMANY IN WAR
Theory That Kaiser Alone Is to
Blame Wrong; Thrilling
Story at Theater.

Lieut.. Pat o'Bnien. an American
member Of the British Royal Flying
Corps, who was captured by Germany,
gave an account of his escape to an
obviously admiring audience at the
New National yesterday afternoon.
Flung headlong from the clouds into
the hands Of the enemy; held pris-
oner for seventy-two days-a period
which involved a tramp of 240 miles,
and which was ended by jump from
the window Of an express train and
escaping at last by tunneiing under
electrically charged wires into the
safety of Holland. the aviator de-
scribed his experiences with the
simplicity that great achievement
demands. Sworn to the British gov
ernment not to reveal some things
that came under his observation while
q prisoner, the speaker conveyed only
the general information distinctly
emphasized that 1t Is all Germany the
allies need to fight and that the theory
that the kaiser only is to blame is
merely an ideal misconception of the
situation.
Germany is not in danger Of going
hungry. The army, If not the people.
will continue to be fed. And they will
be able to fight on until the allies
whip them. 1t Is the only way.
Lieut. O'Brien stated that when the
Lusitania went down it meant war
for him, and that Immediately )after
the sinking of the ship he joined the
1ided home, but having about re-
covered from the results of his head
long fling from an altitude of 5000
feet is now ready to fight again.

Declaring he once had seen a cat
whip dog because the cat had been
cornered. Hudson Maxim last night
told an audience at Memorial Conti-
mental Hall:
Il want to corner you people SO
you will realize you have an arduous
war ahead of you and we can't win
it without the Red Cross.
Your sentiments have been ap-
pealed to this week, and rightly so; /;
but consider the Red Cross for a mo-
ment from an economic standpoint.
IF the Red Cross is well support
ed we won't lose half as many men
who will give their lives and fail to
como back to their homes as II there
were no Red Cross"

and white bearded. made q stirring,

years. there are bound to be mis-

every bit of American ingenuity.

One thing the nation must do. the
speaker said, is to build airplanes

But we are fighting fire with fire.

He brought laughter when he said:
God fights on the side with the
