A SONG FOR HEROES By EDWIN MARKHAM)

A song for the heroes who saw the
 sign And took their place in the battle line; They were walls of granite and gates
 of brass; And they cried out to God, ''They
 shall not pass!" And they hurled them back in a storm
 of cheers, And the sound will echo on over the
 years And song for the end, for the glo-
 rious end, And the soldiers marching up over
 the bend Of the broken roads in gallant France The homing heroes who took the Who looked on life. and with even Faced the winds from the guIfs of
 death, Their hearts are running on over the Over the battle-wrecks-over the
 waves Over the scared fields-over the foam On to America-on to home. And song for the others, the heroes slain | In Argonne Forest-in St. GObain- | In the flowery meadows of Picardy- | In Belgium-in Italy, From brave Montello to the sea. A song for the heroes gone on ahead 1 To join the hosts of the marching
 dead A song for the souls that could lightly
 fling Sweet life away as a little thing For the sake of the mighty need of
 earth. The need of the ages coming to birth. Ali praise for the daring God who
 gave Heroic souls that could dare the
 grave. Praise for the power He laid on youth ] To challenge disaster and die for
 truth What greater gift can the High God
 give.
 Than the power to die that the truth
 may live, Glory to the Lord. the Hero of
 Heaven, He whose wounds in His side are

They have accorded high honors of dis tinguished merit upon General Peyton March chief of staff, and, while this off cer led no forces upon the battle field, sure ly he is entitled to as high honors as his country can bestow. His grasp and force and tireless energy and powers of organiza- ton placed our armies in the field. He has also the rare qualities of tact and patience and good hard sense. There has not been a murmur from any quarter against March, and yet his responsibilities have been as heavy as ever placed upon one man. He sent men to Pershing by the million; sent them on time like clock work. Sent them in pretty good shape and well equipped and fairly well drilled His part was the hard part. No pressing danger or high glory to spur him on No imelight. Just hard, grinding work and concentration behind closed doors. No bands or cheering men. But his work was just as necessary as Gen eral Bucks dash on the Vesle, that won for him decoration. America was fortu- nate in having General March when the call came for three million men in year.

Amsterdam, Feb. 6.-At his trial
before a court martial, Deputy Will

cialist, according to the Koelnische
Zeitung, ascribed to strike move
ment to reaction against the main
tenance of state of seige and machi-
nations of the Fatherland party. The
accused deputy denied that he pro-
noted the strike, and declared it
was only a demonstration strike
against a peace of annexations and
in favor of peace by understanding.
eff the government had entered
into negotiations as requested" he
said, according to the newspaper,
"the strike would have lasted only
three days. The intellectual organ
izer. of the strike was Admiral Won
Tirpitz."
The strike movement could not be
connected with the Russian revolu-
ton, Dittmann said. Philip Scheide-
mann, the majority socialist leader,
corroborated Dittmann's testimony
that the strike was in favor of peace
by agreement, and that it had no con-
nection with affairs in Russia.

TODAY'S SUMMARY
INDICATES COMING
OF BIG OPERATIONS
Germany's Conference, In
Guiding Greatest Leaders,
Reported Over-Bolsheviki
Troubles Increase.
(By the Associated Press)

| (by Lne ASSOcaIeH treSS)
Raiding operations and artil-
lery duels are increasing on the
western front, as the time for
the spring campaign approaches.
Two years ago, after the success
full attack on Souchz, the Ger
mans began their drive on Ver-
dun with heavy artillery fire on
February 21, while last year the
British captured Grand Court,
on the Somme front, on Febru-
ary z, and the Germans, two
weeks later, retired from the
Ancre, the, first step in the re-
treat to the Hindenburg line.
All official statements report great
artillery activity. The big guns
have been busy around Ypres and be-
fore Cambria, on the British front,
and on the right bank of the Meuse,
on the French front
There has been lively aerial and
artillery fighting on the American
sector, northwest of Toul. The skies
there have cleared, and the Germans
are reported to have bombarded vii
lagos which they had left untouched
for many months.
Entente airmen have been active.
British flyers on Monday dropped
three tons Of bombs and accounted
for eight enemy airplanes, with the
loss of one machine. On the Italian
'front.' the Italian and British ayiators
have brought down thirteen enemy
machines, while the Germans again
have bombed Padua.
In Russia, the situation appears
less favorable to the bolsheviki. A
decree by the bolsheviki government
separating the state and the church,
and confiscating church property, has
aroused the opposition of Archbishop
Tikhon, the patriarch of all Russia,
who has called upon his followers to
defend the cnurcn.
New military opposition to the boil
sheviki has arisen in the Tartars and
Poles. The commander-in-chief Of
the bolsheviki armies is reported to
have been arrested by Polish troops,
which captured Mohilev. Tartar
forces are moving on Sebastopol, the
naval base on the Black sea. In
Kiev, the Ukraine are reported to
have gained the upper hand.
German newspapers indicate that
If peace is reached with Ukraine lit
tie attention will be paid to the boil
sheviki.
The conference in Berlin continued
throughout an entire day, the crown,
prince. the Bulgarian premier. and
the Turkish grand vizier also taking
part. A crown council meeting was
held.
