| Will Be Worthy of It.

My untried strength may fail me.
Or half way up the mountain peak
Fierce tempests may assail me.
But though that place I never gain,
Herein lies comfort for my pain.

I may not triumph in success,
Despite my earnest labor;
I may not grasp results that bless
The efforts of my neighbor-
But though my goal I never see,
This thought shall always dwell with me

The golden glory of loves light
May never fall on my way.
My path may always lead through night
Like some deserted byway.
Though life's dearest Joy miss,
There lies a nameless strength in this

STRIKERS WHO ARE TRAITORS.

A strike in American shipyards should
be treated as treason.
It is no less mutiny than would be
a strike of American soldiers or sailors.
The shipyards are vital. The life of
the nation, the safety of the world de-
pend upon them. Thousands of lives
may be lost on the fighting front through
one days idleness.
A worker in the shipyards who lays
down his tools is no less guilty than
would be firemen who threw aside the
hose while the flames were leaping in
building occupied by helpless men and
women.
The present emergency is no less great.
The shipyard workers may have just
claims for consideration, but they forfeit
all right to consideration if they do not
put before everything else their duty to
their country and to the men who are
giving their lives to fight and die for it.

 We should stop before we are ut terly demolished, wrote another Ger man soldier. q am always hoping the French may succeed in roping us in.
