A Rendezvous with Death

When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple blossoms fill the air

When Spring brings back blue days and fair

Pillowed in silk and scented down,
Where Love throbs out in blissfu: sleep
Pulse nigh to pulse and breath to breath,
Where hushcd awakenings are near
But I've rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town,
When Spring trips north again this year,
And to my pledged word am true

Showing Their Colors

Citizens Of German descent in Indianapolis
are showing their colors. Dilatory tactics in as
sorting their loyalty to America have put thous-'
ands of Germans under suspicion and ha:
aroused against them feeling that could hav .
been averted by an earlier manifestation of the +
loyalty. +.
Indianapolis citizens of German origin r id
themselves of the reproach by positive declal "a
tons and by action that proved the truth of tn cir
assertions. The News comments editorially in
these words:
Evidences Of patriotism given by Ger man
citizens of Indianapolis within the last few "days
are gratifying. No one doubts the loyalty O the
great body of Germans to the country in which
they have been happy and prosperous. EIut it
can not be said that they have been prompt and
vigorous in making their attitude clear. few
of the talkative, irresponsible or deliberately dis
loyal among their number have put the entire
German-American population in bad ght. I'm
til recently there has been no general effort on
the part of loyal Germans to counterfeit the
doubts raised by the words and actions of these
few.
"The meeting at the hall of the South Side
Turner's the other day the first patriotic
mass meeting of citizens of German extraction
held in Indianapolis since Americas entrance in
to the war; nearly year ago. Patriotic speech
es were made. resolutions unanimously adopted
reaffirrnng allegiance to the United States
pledging enthusiastic support to the nation in
its war for democracy, and denouncing German
militarism. Those who took part in this meet
ing performed service for the entire German
population Of indianapolis.
Another evidence of the right spirit is given
in the changing of the names of local German
CARNATIONS 1t represents more than an atti-
tude of willingness to conform to public opinion
and to remove possible source of irritation.
Citizens Of German extraction have an extraor-
binary opportunity to serve their country. The
kaiser, by this time, has probably abandoned his
idea that German Americans would revolt in case
of war with Germany and join him in his strug-
gle against the world and humanity, but he may
not be so sure that the Germans of the United

CELIBATES I'M LARGE NUMBER
Seventeen Millions of Class In United
States, Many Being Inferior to
Married People.

"There are 100000 celibates in the
United States, according to a state
ment which has been going the rounds
of the press, after originating In a
magazine article on the sex question"
says the Journal of Heredity. "EXam-
nation of the census schedules for
1910 indicates that this figure includes
all males over twenty and all females
over fifteen.
"A calculation based on such age
limits is misleading, but the actual
facts are quite striking enough. Per-
sons thirty-five years of age or over
are relatively unlikely to marry, and
it seems fair to base computations on
that age. They show, then, that there
are nearly 100000 unmarried men in
the population, and about 100000 I'M
married women. There are about l.
100000 unmarried women between the
ages of twenty-five and thlrty-four,
and a considerable part Of these are
certain never to marry.
"The celibacy of these millions is,
from a eugenic point of view, not
wholly to be deplored. While the num-
Der includes many potential fathers
and mothers of a desirable character,
it is probable that, on the whole, these
lifelong celibates are eugenically infe-
rior to the married population"

LEGAL Witticlsms.

Stories from the law courts are apt
to be good, legal wit being noted for
its dryness. But this story claims no
particular merit, except as showing
the usefulness of a ready wit observes
the Christian Science Monitor. The
counsel for the plaintiff was delivering
an imprisoned address. He was
somewhat weighty in person, and hap
pened to be leaning on n very old
chair. In the middle of the torrent of
eloQuence, the chair gave way and the
barrister lay on the floor in the midst
Of the wreckage. He got up and, I'M
perturbed, pointing to the broken chair,
said: "That proves the strength of
my argument" The court smiled
broadly, but laughed outright when the
opposing counsel promptly replied:
"The learned counsels argument may
be all that he claims for 1t, but 1t fell
to the ground"

Cedar Forest at Great HEIGHT.

In his book, "The Real Algeria" quot
ed in the Christian Science Monitor
NJ. d. Scott describes his journey
through a cedar forest. "The program
was to cross the mountains through a
fine forest of cedars by the Col de
Telmet, at an altitude Of 5000 feet"
Mr.. Scott says. 81 came across a most
curious piece Of hillside. Bare rock
as steep and smooth as house roof
ran straight from the hilltop to the
bottom Of the valley with IA strike of
some 60 degrees. 1t shone like burn
ished silver in the bright sun. Never
have / seen anything of the kind so
beautiful. In various crevices were
perched cedar trees, sometimes with
n rest so tiny that miracle alone
held them apparently from sliding
down the chute"
