The Storm at Sunset

From behind a cloud the setting sun
sends shafts of silver light,
A tumbling torrent threatens to speed
the black Of night;
But miracles still happen, for. 10! the
storm clouds spread
Gay colors. opalescent. are streaming
overhead
llue caves, he blue Of sapphires, are
formed among the clouds,
All grey like ghostly figures that wrap
themselves in shrouds;
Here violet, there lavender and yon a
purple space,
Then pink as pale as blushea on a
sleeping baby's face.
One great expanse Of turquoise that
stretches toward the cas-
Is patched with red and yellow like
apples at a feast;
And there among the pine trees 4 giant
tigers eye,
That CLEANS q golden orange md glo~
rifles the sky
Transparent pigments fading, darker,
duller grow
Great puns Of fragrant incense. the
mist = ght below.
Arises slowly upward upon the heavy
air.
10 ningly with the south wind and
scatter everywhere.
A knife-IIke stroke Of lightning a-sud-
den lights the sky.
Silver Innings gllsten through the
clouds as they roll by;
Great rumblings, distant thunder a
din like ratt' i- chain.
Flash, dazzle, boom and grumble--the
night is black with rain,

JUST WHAT KS WRONG WITH
TaE GERMANS
written by q Major on the
General StaR)

The Germans. a naturally docile
people, have been so completely
Subjected to military tyranny that
they. cease to feel humiliation and
regard their condition as normal
In this mental state they readily
absorb the doctrine that their mill
tary hierarchy is all-Wise and that
to question its win is sacrilege.
BY reaction the military autoc-
racy comes actually to believe it.
self divine.
These facts explain the other
wise incomprehensible attitude Of
Germany, and it is the dawning
realization Of the world menace
created thereby that united all free

gysten which aims ck 8 gubiuga-
