over Time !"

A novel mementO of the great war is
a clock, which is made from munitions
both enemy and allied-collected on
the Somme battlefield by a soldier,
who afterwards used them for this
purpose. The body of the clock is a
German shellcase, and German cart
ridges form the legs. OF the three
cartridges on top of the timepiece, the
two outside are German, and. the one
gracing the center French, while the
two small ornaments between these
are Belgian bullets. The side orna-
ments are made from Yerey-light
cases, pierced to ADMIT Of d British
cartridge projecting through the top.
The pendulum consists of five
French bullets, and the figures and
hands are bent to shape from copper
wire taken from German trenches.
To complete the whole, the clock
movement inside is also Of German
make, and. after necessary repairs, is
found to be entirely adequate.

FREE SPEECH

has been perfectly successful in her domestic measures. The very idea of freedom of speech and press, as un- derstood in democratic nations, has not entered into the domesticatcd minds of Germany. An unsubsidizcd press uncontrolled news services, un- regulated public meetings are all to- tally foreign to German thought and practice. Having alternately gagged, bribed, intimidated and manipulated. mutilnted, and created public opinion at home, Germany sends her agents abroad to exploit the freedom of speech of other nations in the interest of the autocracy that stifed such freedom in Germany.
 The story of how every publicity niche in this country was infested with these pests has been told until even those who secretly wish their success no longer deny their existence. It was these dispensers of mental poison gns that first nsphyxlated free speech in America. Subsidy, equally with suppression. destroyed free speech. The believing of hired mob is as effective os a gag in stopping public discussion.
 The agents of Germany were the first to suppress free speech in this country. Nothing was ever so deadly to such liberty as the spreading of the si0.0o0.o00 corruption fund Of Won Bernstorff. Freedom Of speech was stified much more when Non Rintelen financed the Madison Square Garden meeting of Iabors National Peace Council. How many of those who be- wall the steps necessary to restora- ton of untrammeled expression of speech had a hand in influencing Congress- on former occasions" as described by Von Bernstorff?
 There could be no freedom of speech
