TILE FLIGHT.

My thoughts go back 10 Etricourt. The City of the Dead. 1 hear old "Jcrry" droning In the moonlight overhead. ] sec the streams of radiance Sweep Nainly thro' the night, And tracer bullets streaking Like stars in fiery flight The bombs conc hssinG downward Like Scrpents in the gloom 70 Mother Night, what horrors then Were lurking in thy womb. l sec the upturncd faces The bravcst Of the brave. 1 hear the broken whisper ''Th1t was a damn close shave" And now I sec an Art of War, The bombing acroplane, Fulfill a noolcr mission
 In a trip across the main: And Hope comes surging back once
 moro.
 The noble sacrifice Tho cost,-the bitter pain of war Was not too great a price. 'Tis out of Evil Goodness springs, Like lilies from the mirc; Folly always Reason brings
 And Faith is forged in Fire. Dear hearts across the tra gic sea, Whose sons have made the flight, Our hands arc claspcd in love once The mon who stand for Right.

 cept the blame for the Holocaust into which she plunged the world Again we do not blame her for her horror at her own acts but we are surprised that she feels that horror. She is in consistent there. The bloody mailed fist is being virtuously Gisregardcd and she is insisting that the hand within it is not hers. Whether Germany ever admits she was the cause back of the war or not she is convicted now in the eyes of the world. There is scarce ly anyone outside of Germany who does not realize the truth and ii is probable that the ma jority of Germans know it. Their ltultur will not admit that they shoulder the blame but their situation will be such that they will have to accept it and pay the penalty just the same.
 An attempt to save their erstWhile leader, one William HChenzOilern of Holland, sawyer, is also made at the last moment. Why should the Ger mans wish to protect this man from the Allies? Are they proud of their GlNlaDlC record m the war. that they should wish to retain the arch tiend back of it all? What has a beaten Germany and former emperor who was the cause of the country's down. fall in common? What, other than fur ther calamity, may the Kaiser bring to the nation? There is only one cx- 1 with the first note of remonstrance to the terms. II is simply a further at tempt to evade responsibility. The surrender of the Kaiser we uld be par through this man were the instisator3 of the War. That is all.
 Though it is not yet established that the peace has been signed we arc sure be in this same paper on a later page. Possibly it may be delayed for few hours. The Germans gre guilty oG starting the war, they gre guilty of in numer1blc atrocities during hostilj- 1 ties and they lost. They arc convicted before the world whether they are convinced or not. If they derive any snug satisfaction out of tEc idea that they have fooled the peoples of the earth in believing them the victims of a gigantic conspiracy they are bigger idiots than they have so far proved themselves to be. It is harder to imagine moro colossal idiot than the German j'inl1er is now

 traditions of the sea, would come

The Grand eet was held in readiness for the al action up to the time of the sur 7nder.

No one ally expected that the German flag ould be surmountcd by the white surrender when the Germans final stuck their noses from Helgoland Lght.

The children's and infants welfare
clinic will open to the public Monday
morning at 10 o'clock for its first con-
sultation. DR.. Charles 8. Thompson.
health officer, said this morning. The
clinic will be open for two hours and
will give free advice and instruction
to mothers of infants or young chill
dren in all matters pertaining to the
proper food, clothing and health of
the child. The station will also be
I gree for prenatal care and instruc-
tion.
The opening follows several weeks
of hard work at the new rooms Of the
Health Board at the First National
bank building, Smith street and New
Brunswick avenue. The suite of
three rooms used as a consulting Of
flee, is located on the second floor over
the bank.
DIR. A. G. strandberg will be in
charge of the clinic. He has made a
speciality of infant hygienes and child
welfare and has recently been in
touch with the ideal stations at Jer-
sey City. The office will open several
days q week, the schedule to be an
nounced Monday at the clinic.
The clinic is principally for infants,
but equal attention will be given
young children. 1t Is not necessary
that child should be sick to be treat
ed at the clinic as the effort is not
only to cure but also to keep up the
health standards by preventing sick
ness. A visit to the clinic may result
for the better for many children
| whose parents may not be feeding or
clothing them properly.
! The operations of the clinic are
very simple, consisting only of weigh
ing and examining the children in
addition to learning their condition
from the mothers. Suggestion as to
diet, hours of play, feeding and rest,
proper clothing and nursery ventila-
ton will be offered wherever 1t ap-
pears that an improvement can be
made. Diets and formulas Tor pre-
pairing infant food will also be given
by DR.. Strandberg.
In addition to the physician in
