He event West"
Tin the pralance Of the British
army to "go west means to die.)
Up to the top he was sent,
And crazed with the battles
zest
Forward to thrust he bent.
But he heard the "call OF the
West"
In the dawn of his radiant youth,
LIES brimming cup at the
crest,
Valiant for country and truth,
He went West" he went
West"
With self-scorn on brow and on
lip
For fear but half suppressed,
Came this sudden, sharp, death
grip,
And the final call of the
West"
In his heart had q hope been
strong,
And a dear love unconfessed
Had he waited, alas, too long
Ere his life went out to the
"West!"
For as over the top he went
To his manhood's ultimate test
The spirit and body were rent;
He had answered the call OF
the West"

NEAR UNCLE BILL: Aunt Nellie
- took me TO the Metropolitan Mu-
scum Of Art and there ! had a pleasant
and instructive time / feel that these
days Uncle Sam expects us kids to learn
all we can for when Won and the rest of
the Boys come back from Berlin there will
be great deal of work TO do catching up.
Gee Uncle Bill, its pretty big thing to
be an American kid nowadays
First l saw the Egyptian things.
We went inside a modal tomb. There
are at least ways 10 go in and there is
a room where the Sarcophoguss and has
a wooden statue OF the corpse on it.
The room is sealed but there is mar
row slit where you look in and YOU can
see only the statue. We saw many mum
mics.
They are folded with there knees on the
chin and the hands elasped over the
knees. The head faces south and it looks
10 the east. There is a model of Alexan-
dria there 1t had stone roads and all
houses are Of clay. The palace takes up
as much room as the small half of the
town.
Next we saw the Greek roman and
Etrlscan' art. Most OF these statues have
lost parts of themselves. One is a boy
sitting down and he has no legs just the
toes showing. Another has no head.
suppose you have. seen some very severe

it and not being used to it he let it go too
soon and being in the way was injured
right over the ear. Aunt Nelly who seems
to be very well educated told me that
many people think the Venus de Milo
ought to look like the statue next TO 1t
but that would make it be Victory which
/ said was not such bad thing to be
after all, don't you think l was pretty

think the spanish and English were best
but don't think much of Spain nowadays
the way,she lets the huns walk all over
her. The helmets are funny affairs having
slit to look through and all the features
are on it. Most of the pistols were APP
proxamately double there real weight with
Jewels.
Some of the swords were as long as I
am high which is four, foot 3 and Fights
All of the cannon we're like toys they were
so small. Some of the shoes were twice
as long as they needed TO be with points
as sharp as a needle. Uncle Bill l guess
leather was cheap those days. Dad says
us kids will make him crazy buying shoe
lether. Others of the shoes at the mu-
scum were very fiat at the toe and it
seemed to me they would make a good
shoe for a fullback. I would not like to
be kicked with one Of those of the first
kind l described. Most Of the german
helmets were making faces. One had
horns thought it was very appropriate.
We saw the Parthenon and Notre
Dame The Notre Dame thing ought to
have been made by lady for it is mostly
needles and thredlike pillars. The Pan
theon is there to which we have studied
about in school but it is quite different
when you see it. You look in the front
and then you can just put your head IN
side.
1t is a fine thing TO see these Uncle Bill
and I expect to make good use of my
knollege.
Yours faithfully SAMUEL.

Brisbane Financed For
Protection of Brewers

New York. Sept. 21.-C. w. Feig.
enspan, president OF the United
Brewers Association, last night made
public a letter to Senator Kfngs
chairman of the Senate subcommit-
tee on the judiciary, in which he
frankly and freely confessed that
the association furnished Arthus
Brisbane funds to finance the pu-j
chase of the Washington Times.
He further admitted that the asso-
citation and the brewing interests
generally, have maintained loBbSists
at Washington and in various state
capitals, whose business 1t was to
try, where possible, to protect us and
checkmate those representing the
opposition to our industry"
He denied vigorously, however,
charges of disloyalty or pro-Gerj
manlsm, both personally and on b>'i
half of the association, and asks
that he be permitted to appear be-
fore the subcommittee for question:
ing, without limit" on all the
charges involved in the communica-
ton regarding the purchase of the
Washington Times sent to Senator
King by A. Mitchell Palmer, alien
property custodian.
He frankly and freely admitted"
that the brewers, "in common with
every other industry and every other
business in the country, have tried to
get before the public every fact that
we felt fairly favored the preserva-
ton of our business. even to the eX-
tent of supplying the finances for the
initial payment on the Washington
Times"

operations of the Bolsheviki; of or
ders to German banks to establish
close and secret relations with Amer
lean and Finnish banks; of the
launching of revolutionary propa-
ganda against the Cars govern
ment in Russia as early as November,
1914, and of instructions to German
diplomats in all neutral countries to
cooperate with agencies set up in
those countries for stirring up social
unrest, strikes and sentiment against
war within the enemy states.
Socialist Leader Involved
The name of Scheidemann, the
German Socialist leader, already
mentioned as involved in the deal
ings with the Bolsheviki, appears
attached to one of the unauthenti-
Gated documents. It is a note an
nouncing that 10000 kroners have
been placed to the credit of a Rus
sian newspaper, and asking that
Vorwaerts (the name of Scheide-
mann's organ at Berlin) be advised
of what appeared in the subsidized
journal.
An appendix to the concluding in
stalment is what purports to be a
transcript of an unique telegraphic
conversation between Tchitcherin,
now Bolshivik foreign minister at
Petrograd, and TrotZky, at Brest-
Litovsk last February, a few DAYS
before Trotzky made his notorious
no-peace-no-war" play. Tchitcherin
is quoted as promising a separate
peace by which Russia would not
cause a rupture with the Allies and
saying that England and America
are playing up to us separately"

SECRET
DOCUMENTS SHOW
HUN PLOTTINGS
Destructive Agents Ordered
to U. S. to Employ Ter
roriSts For Kaiser

Washington, Sept. 21.-Another
convincing link in the proof that
Germany was preparing to start a
war of world conquest at least six
weeks before the excuse for it was
offered by the assassination of the
Austrian heir apparent at Sarajevo
concludes the amazing series of dis
closures which the American Gov
ernment has given to the public
through secret documents it brought
out of Russia.
Two authenticated documents are
included in the final chapter of the
story, which began a week ago, with
evidence removing any doubt that
may have existed that the Russian
Bolshevik government, headed by
Lenine and Trotzky, is a tool Of the
Imperial German government.
One of these is an original circu-
lar from the German general staff,
dated June 8, 1914, directing that all
industrial copcerns be notified to
open their secret instructions for
industrial mobilization.
Anarchists For Bomb Plots
Another, dated November 20,
1914, is from the German naval gen.
eral staff, and reveals that within
four months after hostilities began
in Europe destruction agents" were
ordered to Canada and the United
States to hire anarchists and escaped
criminals for the bomb plots and
work of terror which finally played
a part in drawing the United States
into the war.
In addition to this authenticated
evidence, Edgar Sisson, who obtained
the papers for the Committee on
Public Information, offers remark
able group of circulars put out in
Russian text at Petrograd last WIN
ter purporting to be copies of docu-
ments taken from the archives of
the counter-espionage bureau of the
kerensky government, supplemented
by some from the files of the same
bureau before the fall of the Car.
Some of this matter has been pub
lished previously in France and in
this country.
The circulars tell of German ar
rangements, six months before the
outbreak of war, for the establish
ment of the financial agencies in
bordering neutral countries which
later furnished the money for the
