Name Gossip
Across the Sandy Lee

(Rosamond Reed(
Gray drifts the clinging mist
Across the sandy lee.
While fretting on the bar
Means in the restless sea.
The white gulls wheel and cry,
Sweep down on tireless wings.
Far out upon the reef
The lonely surf-bell rings.
Was it but yesterday
My love walked here with me.
The bright sun on her hair,
Across the sandy lee?
Was 1t but yesterday
The blue sea smiled and sung?
Warm lay her hand in mine,
And joy and hope were young.
Drift low. enshrouding mist,
Hide, so no eye may see,
The path her feet have trod
Across the sandy lee.
Ye white gulls. cry aloud.
Moan on. dark, restless sea,
Toll. toll. We lonely bell.
Loves requiem for me.
Last night a silent bark
Stole in upon the tide.
At break of day. she bore ava,
The white soul of my bride.

would be $50, 9O0,000OOO. Comparing
the financial situation of Great Britain

that the daily expenditure of Germany

that of Great Britain, but that the
German total did not include certain
