MY PRISONER

One day as I was sitting on our
front porch a man passed.
My dog jumped out at him. I ran
after the dog and chained him to
a tree. He broke loose and went
to my aunt's house. He thought
that he would get better treatment

 The proliXity of this introduction is justified, l believe by the necessity of explaining how one of the best kept secrets of the Uboat war came to my ears, Von Koenig explained that he left port in command of q U-boat that freighted Bremen. The comanders of both boats were under orders to com municate by wireless every two hours when this was possible, and to keep in especially close touch during bad weather.

 As to Won Keonlg's story of tho loss of the Bremen, however, l have every laason to believe that he told the whole truth. He is particular ehum of a young officer of the navy

By the faint glimmer of light which is always on the waves at night he was able to make out that some- thing had gone seriously wrong with her. She was floating at that time at an angle of almost 50 degrees, her working and she was at tho mercy of the heavy seas.
 While I watched her she seemed to revolve upon her own axis and plunge down" said von Kocnig.
 He never saw her again. He hung about the neighborhood for the great or part of two days wirlessing when ever is seemed safe, and keeping continual lookout for wreckagc. Dur ing the greater part of this time his own boat remained on the surface, anu it was only a chance that he was not sighted by the British boats. He dived two or three times as measure of precaution, but so far as he knew was never sighted Eventually he gave up the Bremen for lost and returned to kiel to report.

Tho unity of Belgium still exists and there are signs that the Germans have given up. at least for the time being their attempt to break it up.
 The authority for this statement ia tho German prcpagandIst weekly h Holland the Toekonst. which states taht the. present policy of the Govern or-General In Brussels Is more mod crate, and that Berlin approves this policy as a means of gaining peace Tbe article concludes by advising the advocates of the former German pol icy to steer < middle course and give up their flourishes of rhetoric.
 The attempts of tho Germans to force the Flemish language on Brus- sels. ana Antwerp are declared to have completely failed and the government has had to confess itself beaten. The supporters of the German scheme among the Belgium population arc known as "Activitists.' and are very unpopular among the majority of thetf fellow citizens.

 The Bremen sank off Heigoland one stormy night said a U-boat cap tain, swho was the sole witness of the sinking T saw her turn over Then she disappeared
 The fate of the Bremen has been one of the unsolved mysteries of the war. There have been various stories that she had been captured by the British, or sunk by them. None of those stories have been told on au- thority, and none have been denied. The German admiralty has never is- sued statement. The one thing that something happened to her. A story that she had returned to tho docks at Kiel was never accepted.

One, grand. sweet symphony that peace
inspires,
Sweeps thro' the world-the nations
song of praise.
The mighty bulwarks of our country
rest
On deeds of courage thro' long span
of years,
That saw the light when torch of

Today our hearts are knit by chords

Deep in the world heart purged by

We view the future with prophetic eve
That sees the dawn of larger broth

There is a golden age-the reign of
peace.
Dream of all poets, since the world
began.
Is consummated by a world release.

fashion Of the people of every state to believe
that it had a model school system the best in
the country. There was no reason for believing
it, The belief based largely on the fact
that enough money being spent to have a
good system. The pride OF the people had no other
foundation than the Consciousness Of liberal expen
ditures. The newspapers spoke of "our excellent
schools teachers in their assemblages boosted OF
them and came easily to think that we actually
had them.
We have always had good schools in spite
OF defective systems and we were wont TO point TO
them evidences of the systems. All the money
asked for has been cheerfuy appropriated and some
times more, and it has always been spent. An edu-
