From The Editor and Publisher

Few Americans may now share Mr.
CreePs satisfaction with the, course of
our government from the time when Bel
gium was invaded up to the 9th of April,
1918. True, We did square our military
policies with our political professions
but to what avail? Were our motives of
disinterestedness, attested through our
failure to prepare to fight, either recognized
or valued by the war-mad rulers of the
Germanic peoples? Where they not, rather,
interpreted as sign of national weakness
and an invitation to disregard our national
rights?

Conscription for Ireland

Commons last Tuesday by a
vote of 3OI to IO3. There was
no doubt that the House of

section of The Tribune went to

voted, Lloyd George an

denied Home Rule to Ireland
his government would resign.

during the latter part Of the war.

The Wonder of Her.
BY EDMUND VANCE COOKE.


The wonder of her when she came
4 The lighting of the lucent flame
Within her tiny, tender frame
The wonder of her prettiness
Her dainty little-bit-o-ness
The cling of fingers, pink of toes,
The shading of the softest rose
= OF all the host the garden grows
The wonder of her, as she grew,
Her glad years freshening as they flew,
And each day holding something new.
Her beauteous body, supple, SLIM
I Agile OF action, straight of limb
But matched the magic of her mind
Tempered like steel, like gold refined;
And in her subtle temperament
Caprice and constancy were blent
In witchlng, wayward 'wilderment
The wonder of heri surely she
= Has always been, will always be
In all her wondrous ecstasy
The wonder or herl how it lasts
Through all the Futures, all the Pastsl
The wonder OF her, as she lies
With mystery on her lips and eyes
Our last lost kisses on her brow
And questionings, questionngs, "Why? Where;
