FATHER AND SON.
By Calvin Dill Wilson.
THE FATHER

Would God that could 60 in place
OF him, my hope of house and race.
Would could shoulder knapsack, gun
Against the wild and furious Hun.
Would ! could face. the tempest, rain
The bullets, hunger, thirst and pain.
I'd revel in the maddest fray,
If only he, my boy, could stay.
| would be glad to sink in sea,
Be crucified, or hanged on tree,
Or fall in airplane from the sky.
I've lived. What matter when | die?
I'd stand, with smiles, in vilest trench,
And laugh at gases, mud and stencil.
| would not wall for eyes gone blind,
Or shrink from shatt'ring of the mind.
I'd revel in the maddest fray,
If only he, my boy, could stay.
'Tis i'll to know his youthful breast
May be by pallid fear oppressed;
That he may fall in brutal hands
And be slave to their commands;
That he may shudder, starve and thirst
Among the demon Huns accursed.
Oh, joy, il could only go
And take the pain and bear the blow!
I'd revel in the maddest fray,
If only he, my boy, could stay.
His boyish flesh is all too fair
To meet the brutes and devils there.
His face it is too glad and bright
To front the demons Of the night.
His heart it is too kind and warm
To bear the ice and snow and storm.
Would | for him herewith could 60
Ard bear the pain and face the foe.
I'd revel in the maddest fray,
II only he, my boy, could stay.

THE SON.

The call to duty now has come;
The flags are out, with fife and drum.
The cause for which we fight is just;
In God above is all our trust.
| gladly 60 to do my share;
My chance is equal and is fair.
| hope, indeed, that | may live;
In need have life to give.
My father long has done his part;
He gave me home and all his heart.
I'd be unworthy Of my race
If peril now | dared not face.
My country has done all for me;
! gladly serve to keep it free.
| hope, indeed, that may live;
In need | have life to give.
| feel my heart is strong within;
| prize the chance to fight and win.
And il perish, but ask
That word come back did my task.
Pll act so that no blush Of shame
Will come to them that bear my name.
Pm happy that, where'er | roam,
My father is secure at home.
| hope, indeed, that may live;
In need have life to give.

Prohibition Hurts Business.

For 81 years Moundsville has had
large institution. This institution has
added very largely TO the population OF
Moundsville-on some occasions there
being as many asl 800 human beings in
attendance there. The predictions made
BY the wet people that business would
be injured and that the population OF
towns would decrease when Prohibi-
ton came seems to have been fulfilled
in the experience Of this institution.
On July /, 1914, the number attending
this famous old hostelry was ly2S&.
Since Prohibition became effective the
number OF boarders has gradually gone
down until at the last report there were
only 500. Needless TO remark, the in
stitution is the penitentiary.
Yet the population Of West Virginia
during the four years since Prohibition
became effective has grown by leaps
and bounds. Hardly day has passed
in these four years that some new ousi-
ness has not been established. Mills
and factories OF every kind and eharac-
ter have come TO join in increasing the
busy din Of industry. Every city in the
State showing large increases in Its
population, Small towns have grown
TO many times their size four years ago.
The natural tendency would be for
crime to increase, but such, thanks to
Prohibition, has not been the case.
The number OF criminals has been con-
stantly going down and when the Leg
islature meets next winter the peniten'
tiary will be one institution which will
not request additional buildings.

Count Won HertIing, the German
Imperial chancellor, in answering the
recent speeches of President Wilson
and Premier Lloyd George, announced
in the reichstag main committee that
Germany would not give up Alsace-
Lorraine under any circumstances AS
to Belgium, the chancellor said Ger
many did not desire any forcible an
nexation of her territory. Regarding
occupied French territory, he de-
cIared that while Germany did not de-
sire annexations Of II by violence he
would discuss the question Of this ter
ritory only with France. The evac-
uation Of Russian territory could be
discussed only with Russia, he an
nounced. He expressed agreement
with certain points in President VIII
sons speech and invited now pro-
posals from the allies.
Count Czernin, the Austro-Hunga-
rian foreign minister, in an address
before the reichsrath. also replied TO
the speeches of the British and Amer
lean executives. He also voiced a de-
sire to continue the exchange of peace
views with the allies.
In particular he thought such ex-
changes between Austria Hungary and
the United States were desirable
There was no great incompatibility
between the interests of these two ma =
tions, in his opinion, and an exchange
of views between them might open the
way for the other nations to join In
conciliatory discussions
Chief interest centers in the an
nouncement of Germany's terms,
which are defined for the most part In
a negative way, however. The Ger
man chancellor stated specifically that
Germany agreed with the first four
points in President Wilson'S world
peace program, which cover the aboli-
ton of secret diplomacy. freedom of
Peace negotiations between Austria
Hungary and Russia on the basis OF
no annexatons and no indemnitics will
be continued and, in the opinion of
the seas, equality of trade conditions.
and reduction of national armaments.
The chancellor thought some difficult
ties would be met regarding the fifth
Doint. which treated with colonial ad-
iustments, and asserted the principle
that the interests of the population
concerned must have equal weight
with the claims of the government
whose title was to be determined.

is true that expressions OF Count
Czernin, the Austrian premier, appear
to be more conoiliatory in tone than
previous utterances from that quarter,
but, beyond vague statements tnat
the possibilities q peace negotiations
are contained in the address OF pres' ,
dent Wilson and the address OF LLOYD
George, there is no suggestion OF
surrender of any Of the extreme con-
tentions Of the military elements IN
the central states.
Not All Included.
The renunciation by Count Czernin,
the Austrian premier, OF any cialni
against Russia for indemnity or an ,
nexation, IT Is noted. does not extenu
to other nations. As for Poland tne
declaration that the population would
decide it's own fate is read here In the
light of the action already taken py
the central powers to set up sham
kingdom of Poland which In reality
lis nothing more than a dependency OF
Austria and Germany.
That the sharp difference between
the belligerents over Alsace- Lorraine
continues is evident from Won Hert-

sons expressed statement in the
eighth point of his fourteen peace
aims that "the wrong done to France
by Prussia in 1871 in the matter or
Alsace- Lorraine should Dc
righted"
Passes Over Vital Point.
While the German premier appears
to commend President Wilson'S dec
laration in favor of freedom OF the
seas, he passes without comment over
the very important condition In MI.
Wilson's statement which denies such
freedom to nations which may break
treaties and require punishment by
other nations. This condition was ex-
pressly framed to meet the case of a
country like Germany which brings on
an unjust war, and therefore denies
Won Hertling's demand for free navi-
CATION during time of war, as well as
in peace"
The German premier's concise state
ment that the question OF Russian
evacuation concerns only Germany
and Russia Is in direct conflict with
President Wilson's sympathetic ex-
pressions in regard to Russia, as well
as his precise demands that the peo-
pie of occupied territories may ar
range their own future.
