Written By Isabel Likens Gate
Blessed Columbia, pride Of thy peO-I
pie.
Come we today with slow, meas
ured tread;
Come we with sword sheathed ana
muffIed drums beating;
Come we with garIands to strew
DER the dead,
Lilies we've gathered from hillside
and valley,
Roses and laurel from mountain
and plain.
Fondlv from earth's fairest edens
we've carried
Dew-dripping blossoms for pa
triots slain.
Patriots slain. Columbia, know thou
How braveIy they answered thy
suppliant cry.
How husband and father and youth
from the fireside
Determined to rescue their coun-
try. or die?
A-ound thee they flocked when thy
bosom was rivcn
Fv bayonet and shell from the
enemy's line;
All that they treasured was sacrificed
for thee;
Friend. home and loved ones, were
laid at thy shrincs.
IJnheedinG they plunged in the fury
OF battle.
Wherever thy standard lay tram
pied in dust.
wherever thy safety demanded their
presence,
Tbeir life was their country'5 in
God was their trust.
Filling UP bIood-reeking gaps in
their columns,
Calamity Drawing the lannon's hot
breath.
Over heaps of the wounded. the dead
and the dying
Onward they FASTENED to victory
or death

Two million, nine hundred thousand
defenders,
A mighty chain forged when Fort

Four hundred thousand links shat

A legion of lives in the conflict
expired.
Link after link now they-are part

Yet few years and they'll be ne

Yet a few years and Gods hand will

In unbrOken ranks on Eternity'B

But ere they depart, they intrust -

In friendship united. the Blue and

Time in its progress has softened our

Bound up the bleeding wounds dis

Lessened wars rancOr as often with

We laurel the graves where our
dear ones are laid.
Unto thee. fair Columbia, now Ne

Their widows and orphans, the

Oh. cherish thy soldiers, love, honor

Their hearts deepest crimson thY

And, God OF our Fathers, preserve
thou the Union,
Let peace extend ever Ger noun

Let love be the sceptre and throne
OF the nation
And Liberty compass the Land q

COMPROMISE SOUGHT
IN TREATY SCRAMBLE
Disposition on the Part Of Many Sena-
tors to Break Away From
Party Leaders.

Washington, Dec. 26.--Dissatis-
fed with tho progress made toward
solution of the Peace Treaty tangle
senators of both political parties
moved today to bring greater pres
sure on their party leaders for a
compromise to insure ratification
promptly on the reassembing of
Congress early In January
The mild reservation group of Re-
publicans, notifying their party lead
er, Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,,
that in their opinion, the time had
come to part company with the ir-
reconcilable foes Of the treaty de
clared that unless compromise nego-
tiations got more wholehearted sup
port from the Republican side they
were preparing to act independently
for an agreement with the Democrats.
Among the Democrats the move
ment was not so well defined, but
criticism of the course of President
Wilson and Senator Hitchcock OF Ne
braska, the acting Democratic lead
er, reached proportions where some
predicted that it soon would be given
tdnSI lOlul. OHC prominent lJtiH-
ocratic senator was said to have told
the Republicans that more than 80
of the AZ on that side would join a
movement to ratify the treaty at
once on the best terms they could get.
The effect was scrambled situa-
tion in both party organizations,
which the leaders seemed confident
they could straighten out but which
the compromise advocates predicted
would greatly strengthen the move
ment for a bipartisan conference of
those determined to ratify the treaty
even at the expense of material con
cessions on both sides,
The feeling among those who are
ready to go ahead without their lead
ers seemed TO be that the treaty
deadlock already had been prolonged
unnecessarily by too much no-com-
promise talk and that both sides had
overplayed a waiting game in the
hope that break would come in the
opposition.
