TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
THE PHANTOM BELLS.

1 like to think that all the simple folk
Who died beneath the grinding GermGn yoke
Have found a heaven, not with streets of gold
But like the villages they knew of old,
Where peasants. hearty burghers, and their wives,
Live again their simple, blameless lives
hope the cities wantonly destroyed
The homesteads of life and love devoid
The murdered trees. all flourish once again
Within spirit world beyond our ken.
These dead would wish heaven all aglow
With gems-just homelike scenes they used to know.
hope their yearning spirit eyes behold
But peaceful pastures, fields of lowing kline, =
Grain in the reapng. fruitage on the vine,
Orchards abloom with beauty springtime sends
May all these greet them like familiar friends
And all the bells that pealed so silver-clea-
know their echoes sweetly haunt that sphere.
Bells Of Termonde, and Rheims, and many more
They will ring out more clearly than before
For French Flemish folk who walk below,
Just they did, not very long ago.
Not long ago, oh bells--and yet so long
Spray your sweet melodies upon the air
OF that new world for those who meet in prayer
Or quicken with delight, dear bells, and say
Hail to the happy bride who walks this way!'
Masked by the fretwork of your carven towers
Count, in your purest tones, the passing hours;
Count, till upon this striving, painracked earth,
Prussia is vanquished, freedom finds birth
And then We phantoms, peal. with accord
One great Doxology, and praise the Lord!
Beatrice Barry.

think q newspaper exists for the par
ticular time and service, and they
are disposed to resent any restriction
imposed by the editors.
On the other hand, the end sought
is seen from SO many angles by
readers of the papers, and subscribers
to the loans or charities, that there
is a perpetual clash between them.
And the newspaper is generally be-
tween and blamed by both sides, as
is man who interferes in a family
fight.
The Tribune has tried to mollify
the feeling on both Sides 1t has de-
precated the disposition to bulldoze
people. Committees more than lndl-
yiduals are responsible for exhibit
lions of force and intimidation which
have been witnessed. They report all
cases of .slackers, or what they think
is Stacker disposition, and they ap-
peal to the newspaper to help them
to obtain the necessary support OF the
war. They say they can not raise
the community's quota, or protect
the soldiers as they should be pro-
tected, unless the newspapers will
give them the desired publicity, ETC..
etc This puts it up to the news
papers to consider both sides. They
frequently neglect to protect them
selves. A newspaper is not a collec-
ton agency. 1t is not bond seller.
1t ought not to be asked to publish
anything which the parties desiring
publication are not willing to sign.
1t is a standing rule in newspaper
offices that for themselves they will
not say anything in their papers that
they would not say to mans face.
This rule should be inforced against
all committees and individuals out
side of the newspaper organizations,
especially in these exciting times.
No other business has been SO
hard hit by the war as has the news
paper business. 1t has been enor-
burdened by increase of costs
of production and by disruption of the
working forces. A high percentage
of newspaper employees when the war
began were young men. They were
as loyal as their youth, and most of
them have gone to the war. This
should entitle the newspapers to
charitable Judgment, but they do not
receive 1t as often as they should.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Des Mojnes Capital: Why shouldn't
the kaiser's head go to the block? To
ali intents and purposes he has been
a murderer. He has never rebuked
any soldier for his crimes in Belgium.
He has never apologized to ciyiliza
tion for sinking unarmed passenger
ships. He has given no excuse for rob-
bling Belgium and northern France OF
their maidens, taxing then into Ger.
many to lead a life of slavery, If not
worse.

RECRUITS TO OUR CHoRUsEs.

In the more than five hundred college train
ing camps Of the nation the old time sscheer
leader who used to practice his fellow stud
ents in vociferous support of the college teams
is gone. In his place is to come the song leader
|who is not to be student but an instructor I'M
der government supervision. The war training
work includes real training, or perhaps prac-
tice would be better word, in choral singing
of the current war songs and the men take to it
with vim and enjoyment If our generals are
to be believed, singing in the army is a major
aid to keeping up the spirit of the men and it
may well be so. But this war singing is sure to
have a bearing choral singing after the war.
IGiven three million men who have been used TO
singing IN big groups and have liked it. and we
should have lot of recruits to our choral So
Icletles IN peace times The lack of men singers
has been the cause of abandonment of a lot of
our choruses during the past years We have
comparatively few fine choral societies left in
this country. Women's voices are ALWAYS to
be had and their possessors will attend rehears
ais. 1t has not been so with the men. re-
vlval of choral singing the land over is a re-
suit to be hoped for from the singing activity
in camp training.

MAYOR SUGGESTS
MUNICIPAL DOCK
AND WAREHOUSES;

In a special message to the Com
mon Council last night, Mayor Wilson
recommended that the city obtain the
land at the mouth of the Pequonnock
river, owned by the Farist Steel Co,
for use as a municipal dock and
warehouse. The council adopted the
mayors resolution and empowered
him to appoint committee to inves-
tigate.
The committee will report back at
the next meeting on February IS. The
mayor would condemn the property,
which, it is understood, can be done
without much opposition, as the F'arist
Steel Works owners do not intend to
rebuild the plant, which was destroy
ed by fire last year.
In his message the mayor says a big
terminal could be established at that
point and he believes this city is ideal
ly situated for maritime commerce.

BRIDGEPORT Y.M.C.A.
DISTRICT SENDS 20
WORKERS TO CAMP

John D. Brock and over 20 other
men have gone from the Bridgeport
district into Y NJ. C. a. War Work
in the cantonements of this country
and at the front in France Italy and
Russia. The Bridgeport association
has raised over 100000 as the share
of. Bridgeport towards the work for
our boys who are serving in this
country and cover there"
While a great many people appre-
ciate the general splendid work of
the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation in the American cities not
everyone stops to think that on the
health and strength and proper sup
port of the association in the Ameri-
can cities probably the $4,000, 600
necessary to do the work in the army
and navy, which has brought out
such eXtraVagant expressions of ap-
probation on the part of the men,
the fathers and mothers of the men
and our own government, to. say
nothing of the generals on the front
would never have been raised. But
even if the money would have been
Tdlseu NIlIOuL the leadership OIL the
American association there is one
thing absolutely sure the trained sec
retaries, without whom the $4,000
900 is almost less than useless, would
not be available. One only needs to
realize that each city, more or less
like Bridgeport, has contributed two
times as many secretaries as they
have kept to man their building at
home.
This simple statement will bring
home to the people of every American
city the realization that the home as
sociations have got to be kept strong
and well supported or the war work
must absolutely fail.

freed from it in freeing themselvs

CD That in seeking to crush Ger
man Imperialism we do not compass
the destruction of Germany that we
do not lend ourselves to her dismem-
berment, but that in eXacting needful
Preparations we do not impose a punt
tive tax; that no obstacle exists in our
mind to the establishment of eco
nomic relations with a liberated Ger
many on the same terms as other ma
tions.
90 That in our own countries We
are as ready to. combat all irnperialis-
tic aims and dreams of conquest as to
Genounce those Of our enemies.
(4) That the terms of peace should
guarantee humanity against the re-
turn of war. That it is necessary from
today forth to embody the conception
of a Society of Nations. But that So
ciety of Nations presupposes nations
capable of entering into treaties, and
consequently free to dispose of them
selves. There is room in the Society
of Nations for a liberated Germany,
but that society cannot receive the
King of Prussia.
Only Obstacle to Peace
! The day we are perfectly united as
to war-aims and principles of action
the Western proletariat will be truly
strong both in respect of their home
governments and in regard to the So
cialists on the other side of the
| trenches. AS to the first-named, they
can ask them to assume collectively
! the engagements they have taken sep
arately in favor of a democratic peace
and against all imperialistic tenden-
cies.
AS to the Socialists in enemy coun-
tries, the Entente proletariat has ev-
cry right to say, without possibility
of contra diction, that he Imperialism
of the Central Empires is the only
veritable obstacle to the conclusion of
peace. And then perhaps, the moment
will have come to address the demo-
cratic Socialists in Austria and Ger
many, enjoining them to separate
themselves from their masters, guar
anteeing to "a democratic Germany in
the name ,,af the Allied proletdriats,
d common justice. Let this appeal be
r5ade, and upon the German reply
will depend, in a large measure, the
future of the Internationale. (By The
