Mrs. John Wright

CHE no longer held him:
~ In the long dragging evenings
She knew that
The mirror shouted to her
That she was no longer desirable
Her hair had lost its color,
Her eyes were dull.
She loathed his perfunctory kisses,
His polite inquiries as to what she had
been doing all day.
She loathed him
Because she loved him.
Then War came.
He went toward it hungrily, !
Like q dog to red meat. /
Life woke up in him rubbing its eyes.
In hot glow of emotion
He remembered what she had been 70 him,
And in his voice was tenderness
That kindled beauty within her.
The night before he left she slept in MS
arms:
And War had given more than it can tske
away.

Abraham Jacob

At the ripe age of eighty-nine years,
following a life full Of honor and useful
ness, an earthly end has come to the
venerable and venerated DR.. Abraham
jacob.
Not few residents of German birth,
both naturalized and unnaturalized as
citizens, now complain of prejudice
against them. Let such consider the life
and career of Germantown Abraham
jacob and how he was treated in this
country. If they do, and also bear in
mind the difference between his spirit
and those they must recognize as con-
trolling many Of his nativity, they should
be able to understand.
In 1848, then young man of nineteen,
he began the study of medicine and be-
came student at the University of
Bonn. A great political movement was
astir-the question up was whether the
Fatherland was to be German or Prus-
sian, liberal or reactionary. Eager and
ardent, taking more thought of life than
Is taught in books of anatomy, the young
student became member Of that group
Of romantic souls who dreamed the dream
of German liberty.
Denied the primary rights of men, for
hidden a chance to bring in orderly
change, they turned to force and revou-
ton. Their glorious rebellion was futile.
The Hohenzollern was too strong, and
they found themselves scattered and help
less. For two years Abraham jacob was
a prisoner. He escaped to America, where
Carl Schurz, a co-conspirator, had pre-
coded him.
The unwilling immigrant found Amer
lea land Of opportunity, and turning
to his profession he was soon one of
it's leaders. Distinctions came to him
which he richly merited, but that they
came is sufficient answer to the
SANDER that America views intolerantly
any coming as Ruth did to Naomi-any
seeking in good faith to participate in
her life. Americanization? The first
thing necessary is for man to be will
ing to be Americanized If this desire
is present the sound Of gutturals and
strange sibilants in accent are not bars
to community of spirit.
Not only is the career of DR.. jacob
instructive to all men Of foreign birth,
but particularly 80 to the special group
which now talks revolution. This man
never found that the fact that he had
been a revolutionist brought condemna-
ton. On the contrary, it feathered his
fame. America loves a revolutionist-
of certain kind. But it judges revolu-
tionaries as all things must be Judged:
with reference to the end sought and the
means employed.
1t is right for man, as we con-
ceive it, to use force to secure equality
of right; it is wrong to use it to establish
privilege The eulogists of Lenine and
Trotzky are condemned not because of
their sympathy with revolution, but be-
cause of their sympathy with a revolu-
ton which would make some men the
masters Of others. America holds to
the doctrine that as long as the road
to orderly change is left open there is
no justification for revolution, and hence
honors the Jacobs and loathes the bomb
planters.

TIGH above the drab barren ground
d Il Three herons beat across the dawn
blue sky.
They drift slowly away
Until they appear
AS three horizontal umber brush strokes
On finely shaded cobalt
And the mist, driven by the wind
Up and across the distant hill,
Cleans like soft white hair
Brushed amorously backward!

New French Siann.

The language of the Poilu is as double Dutch, to the uninitiated. Any one familiar with the slang of the Quarter Latin would probably feel more at home than most But there are many other ngredients-some patois, some picked up in Morocco, and some are surviyals of the soldier slang of the First empire. Such a word is "cleber," which apparently means to eat after one has been on the point of starving. An explanation given of the origin of the word is that it is 8 cor ruption of "kleba," the Russian for bread. It is said that the French sol diers on the great retreat from Mos COW called out Papa, kleba," to Ma poleon.'
