Russia.

Free-even you! Swift rumor sped the shout
That you, through darkest ages held in thrall,
With broken chains had scaled despair's redoubt
And gazed upon the writing on the wall
Fleet herald that electrified the world
Which, painting from the strain of freedoms war,
Was fired anew when first the word was hurled:
Long live Democracy! Down with the Carr
Unbound at lastl You stand today unbowed
Before the throne whose scepter was rod
The slave the master now, cear-eyed and proud
(Inscrutabe, indeed the plans of God).
o dream of dreams your murdered sires foresaw,
Who planned and struggled on with simple trust
Through ages born of despotic law
That held your spirit squirming in the dust
Might may abort with Tyranny enthroned
(That pawn of hels in Satans womb conceived),
And in your darkest hour you perceived
That all the rules of equity demand
Self-abnegation in the righteous cause
That strikes fierce oligarchy from the land
And the miscarriage of unwritten laws.
In that triumphant hour did the spark
That you had nourshed in your blackest shame,
Leap up unbidden in the dismal dark =
And burst into a soul-consumng flame
Which swept, devouring, in its first mad blaze,
The nation to illume with direst red,
Then flaming brightly in the clearing haze,
To warm the souls of Freedoms martyred dead.
o Russia, great and brilliant is your star
OF destiny, ascending to guide
You through new generations while your scar
Is healing in your glory and your pride,
II you will but extinguish what remains
Of the consuming and unstable flame
That melted for eternity your chains
And gave your children your immortal name.

It's Hurry Up, with Germany.

"Now let US go on with the warp says promi-
nent British statesman, in concluding his comments
on the speeches of Hertling and Czernin:
If the British have let up on the for a
minute, they've made a great mistake, maybe a
fatal blunder.
While Germany's talking peace prepare for more
war. This is the only safe policy. The allies should
and will go with the under the conviction
that Germany is preparing for the greatest drive,
the earliest possible date, this war has seen, on
the Western front.
She is concentrating man-power, gun-power,
munition-power along that front, beyond all ques
ton, for the simple reason that she has got to
produce something that looks decisive, before many
days, and this appears no longer possible on any
other of the fronts.
1t is Germany that's got to hurry up. Every
day it becomes harder for her to hold Turkey, Bull
garia and Austria-Hungary to say nothing of her
internal troubles Every day adds strength
of endurance and fighting force to the allies from
the United States Other things being equal a
stalemate on the Western front is just what the
allies need.
But it takes great strategist to figure this
out, and there's slight ground for fear that the
British have been duped into not going ON with the
war for all that's in them.

How Coal was Saved In London.

them there until the last Sunday in September
One of the points urged in its favor is that day
light-saving saved hundreds of thousands of tons
of coal in the city of London alone. But one looks
in vain for any mention of the fact that when the

their balance sheets that they promptly ran up

"This development, gentlemen, was due to
two things; first, some way being pointed out

because the people of this country most Of
them, want to work, and all you have to do is
to tell them how and what to do and you will
find it will be done.
"The other point was, we needed some

anu perhaps very conclusive
The German viewpoint, however.
Is that having interested ourselves
in the internal affairs of Austria
and Alsace-Lorraine and others. we
must-to be consistent-stand also
for home rule in India and Ire
land.
There may be some embarrass-
ments to us in this connection. it
is true, but they will be far less
serious than the distress caused by
the German cancer. II we can re-
move the latter growth from the
world our other problems can be
solved with considerable dispatch.
Once we hammer our principles of
democracy into the German head
which will be ready for them after
depriving itself OF militarism-the
settlement of democracy for all
parts of the world will be no diff
ficult matter.
Now that every person appears
to have had his say-some of the

the eleventh month OF the war with
increased vigor and determination.
Unlike the peace riots that are in

let-up until German militarism is

And they sat side by side.
In Temple Of Justice.
Caring not what the Judge decree
They existed-that was all.
Yet not so long ago.
As we measure time.
They tugged at breasts.
OF adoring mothers.
Who held high hopes.
And built rosy castles
For these fnnocents' future.
But now every hand.
Seemed turned against them.
They were victims Of a city.
Cold, crushing and pitiless.
Victims Of an environment.
Over which they had no control.
And I wondered.

We must learn.
That the human animal cag-d.
Becomes the beast again.
