ITALY CENSORED MUSIC.
CIV United Press. }


Rome, Dec. 1. (Bys Mail. ITO
Italy belongs the distinction Of being
the only one of the allied countries
that established a strict censorship
ON music during the war.
Expectation Of printed music from
Italy is so great, and the opportunity
for clever spies to utilize it as a
means Of conveying information to
the enemy so unlimited, that Italy
organized an entirely separate CEN
sorship for surveillance of all expor-
tations Of music The work was
carried on in three Italian cities,
that at Milan censoring all music
and musical manuscripts destined
for Switzerland; that at Genoa per-
forming the same functions for the
American market, and that at Bolo-
gna having the censorship of music
for all the other neutral countries.

SOUR SOLDIER BoYs.v


We watched our boys grow up from
lads.
And now they are men like their dear
old dads,
When they We're very little boys
They often played with drums and
toys.
But now they are hig, strong, and
brave,
They must fight, and look toward the
dark cold grave,
Out in the cold and lonely night
A soldier is watching for the dawn of
light,
And out in the trenches with cold,
hunger and pain
Stands our brave soldiers fighting with
great might and main,
They think of their homes all CHEEKY
and bright.
But IL they want to win they must not
think, but fight.
And then when the battle Is hard
fought for and won
Our boys will hurry home shouldering
their gun.
While our soldier boys are marching
home cold graves alone,
And the soldier boys that are slain in
the awful games,
We hope Kaiser Bill will be one of the
names.

The greatest Is the boy He sent to cheer
the lives of men.
Through Him we learned the ways Of God
and found the Fathers love.
The Son IT was who won us back to
Him who reigns above.
The Lord did not come down himself to
prove to men His worth,
He sought our worship through the child
He placed upon the earth.
How can best express my life? Wherein
does greatness lie?
How can long remembrance win, since

Both fame and gold are selfish things,
their charms may quickly flee,
But I'm the father of boy who long may
speak for me.
In him lies all I hope to be, his splendor
shall be mine,
shall have done mans greatest work If
only he is fine.
II some day he shall help the world long
after I am dead,
In all that men shall say of him my
praises shall be SAID.
It matters not what may win OF fleet

IAN old man going lone highway,
Came at the evening, cold and gray,
To chasm vast deep and wide.
The old man crossed In the twilight dim.
The suilen stream had no fears for him:
But he turned when safe on the other side
And built bridge to span the tide.
Old man. said fellow pilgrim near,
You are wasting your strength with
building here,
Your journey win end with the ending
day:
You never again will pass this way
You've crossed the chasm deep and wide
Why build you this bridge at eventiGe?'
The builder lifted his old gray head,
Good friend, in the path I've GOMEZ he
said
There foiioweth after me, today,
A youth whose feet must pass this way
This chasm that has been as naught TO me
To that fair-haired youth may a pitfail
be.
He too must cross in the twilight dim.
Good friend, | am building this bridge for
