If / Was Just a Gypsy

If was just gypsy,
A jolly gypsy fellow
Dressed in tags and colored rags,
With p rhaps scarf of yellow,
I'd have little house-on-wheels
bright crimson wheels. of course).
And tramp along the countryside
Beside my lazy horse.
If was just gypsy,
I'D let the highroads be,
And follow lanes and heather plains
That seemed to beckon me;
I'd white sticks the while walked
And leave trail behind
That gypsy folk would understand
But others wouldn't find.
If was just gypsy,
The days would soon fly past,
But grand delights of outdoor nights
Would follow, follow fast.
I'd stretch me out beneath the sky
Upon the ferns and then
The stars would peep and l should sleep
Till daylight came again.

The Goal and the Way

The future lies
With those whose eyes
Are wide to the necessities,
And wider still
With fervent will,
To all the possibilities
Times big with fate
Our wills await
If we be ripe to occupy;
If we be bold
To seize and hold
This newborn soul of liberty
And every man
Not only can,
But must the great occasion seize.
Never again
Will he attain
Such wondrous opportunities.
Be strong! Be true!
. Claim your souls due!
Let no man rob you of the prize!
The goal is near
The way is clear,
Who falters now shames God and die.

There is No Yellow
There

Behold, the old Red, White and Blue
Is waving in the air;
/ see each stripe of red and white
There is no yellow there!
l see each star amid the blue,
The shining red, how fair;
There too are spotless lines of white
But there's no yellow there!
Beneath her folds our armies fight.
Oh, Germany, beware,
Lest they shall bind thee in q night,
For there's no yellow there!

To Those Made Sad

Grieve you on Victory Day
Whose kin shall not RETURN
Tread you your lonely way
With hearts that sink and burn?
Thank we not God that Christ
Did die upon the cross
And that He sacrificed?
Count we His death a lossl
He lives!-and doth endure
In all He died to save:
In every soul made pure.
In every heart kept brave.
And all thy dead who dared
Along the path He trod
Like wondrously have Jared
Their lives go on with Cod
In all they died to win
Rights vindicated cause;
In Truth now triumphing;
The nations nobler laws.
In that new Liberty
Which all mankind shall share,
Thy dead shall come to thee!-
In honor everywhere!
And heroes shall come home
Bringing thy kin to thee;
The sacrifice of some
Gave others sanctity.
And see thou from thy place,
When armies homeward tread,
How each entombed face
Speaks of thy living dead.

JACK JOHNSON
CLAIMS HAVANA
FIGHT 'FRAMEUP'
Negro Declares Bout Pre-
Arranged for Him to Flop
in Tenth Round; Picture
Rights His Share.

Havana, Cuba, March 13.-Jack
Johnson, former heavyweight cham
pion, in a signed statement given
to the Associated Press last night,
declared that his fight with Jess
Willard in this city, four years ago,
was a pre-arranged affair and that
he allowed Willard to win. In adj
dition to $4,000, entire rights to the
moving picture films in Europe and
80 l-3 per cent of the proceeds from
their exhibition in the United States
and Canada are mentioned by john
son, together with the promise of
aid to settle Johnson's differences
with the federal authorities in Chi
cago.
The statement in part followss
"To arrange the match Jack Cur
lev came to London from New
York. He asked me if / were will
ing to fight Willard and | said |
would if he gave me my price. /
thought l could beat his man for
him. CurIey said he didn't want
that. / told Curley would make
the match.
"When ready to leave London !
wired Curley for a certain sum OF
money, which he readily sent. Well,
it went on and began to bother me
and l spoke to my wife, who adj
vised me not to do it, but told her
that if | were going to lose I'd send
her word in time to get out. The
reason | said that was because there
was more money coming to me and
] did not want to lose until ! found
out they would pay me the sum |
asked for and guaranteed that they
would get me out of trouble in
America, the most important thing
for me.
"Then we figured on the best
round to lose in and agreed upon
the tenth. They were to give the
word in the first three or four
rounds if Willard could make a
good showing. y
"At the end of the tenth round
Wizards showing had been so poor
it was necessary to continue the
fight further. The signal agreed
upon was given in the twentieth
round, but I considered Wizards
showing so poor I was forced to
wait until the 10Th before carrying
out the agreement.
81 was to have all the moving pic
ture rights in Europe and So l-3 per
cent Of those in America and
Canada.
"When I finally received the NOV
ing picture film it was a blank one.
| took it to the best film experts in
Europe, but it was found to be
worthless. s
Everybody knows how anxious /
was to straighten out the little Chi
eago difference. l would have done
almost anything in reason to be able
TO visit my mother, who was old !
and feeble.
UNLESS Willard agrees to fight |
within a reasonable-ti which he
should do to prove if he can that
he beat ms. fairly, | shall claim<the |
