Are you shaken. are you stirred,
BY whisper Of love:
Spelibound to q word,
Does time cease to move
Till her calm. gray eye
Expands 10 a sky,
And the clouds Of her hair
Like storms go by!
Do the lips that you have kissed
Turn TO frost and to fire:
Does a flame shot mist
t.nwrap your desire,
Till back to their birth
Fade water, air. earth
And the First Power moves
Over void and dearth:
So the elements return
Into chaos Of night.
Yet the hot flames burn;
They daZEle your sight;
And desire rules the world
Till u fails, goes by
And death down is hurled
With ringing cry.
Such is love; for love is death,
"A passion, a shout,
The deep inbreath
The breath roaring out,
And once II Is done,
You must lie alone,
without life. without love,
Poor flesh, poor bone,

Hold What We Have

M EMBERS Of the United States Senate
~ nave given an impressive warning to
the International Mercantile Marine to the
enect that If the sale of the merchant fleet
owned by that corporation to British syndi-
cate mas not already been defeated, Congress
may find it advisable to step in and take
control of the situation. Senator Fletcher
OF Florida, supported by Senator Jones, Of
Washington, one the retiring chairman of
the Commerce Committee Of the Senate, and
the other the new chairman OF that commit
lee. has sounded this warning
IL VIII be recalled that shortly after the
signing OF the armistice the International cor
poratlon announced that it had entered into
negotiations with British interests for the
sale of the entire tonnage owned by this
american company. Almost Immediately the
shipping Board INTERVIEWED forbade the pro-
posed sale and announced that IL the Inter-
hatlohai insisted on selling it's feet, including
Inc vessels of the White Star, the Red Star
the American and the Atlantic TRANSPORT
Lines, the government itself would buy the
ships A little later the Shipping Board. for
come mysterious reason, withdrew its objec-
tons 10 this transaction, and the negotiations
were resumed
Less than month ago it was announced
mat the directors of the International had
agreed with the British on a price for TOP 900
IONS OF shipping, some of it the best now
ahoa' The price was approximately $780,
oooooo The action OF the directors was of
course subject to ratification by the stock
hoiders OF the corporation. When il was
submitted to the stockholders, however, il
struck snag. The American International
corporation, company formed to finance
large wartime enterprises such as the Hog
island Shipyard, is the largest holder of the
international Mercantile Marine stock, and
! this shareholder fatty refused to be marty

Solicitor General Hugh Guthrie is authority
for the statement that after only year and
half OF prohibition Canada has had enough
of it. The same may be said for the United
States six months before constitutional dry
ness sets in. Quebec has voted for the re-
turn OF light wines and beer, but the Canadian
provinces self-determining, while the
States by Federal amendment have been
robbed Of that prerogative.
