A SEA LYRIC.

"A 90 -
There is no music that man hath heard
Like the voice of the minstrel Sea,
Whose major and minor chords are iraugne
With infinite mystery
For the Sea is harp and the winds OF Goa
Play over his rythnic breast
And bear the sweep of their mighty wings
The song Of vast unrest
There is no passion that man has sung,
Like the love Of the dsep-souled Sea,
Whose tide responds to the moons soft light
With marvellous melody
For the Sea Is harp and the winds OF God
Play over his rhythmic breast
And bear on the sweep Of their mighty wings
The sorg Of vast unrest.
There is no sorrow that man has known,
Like the grief Of the worthless Main,
Whose Titan bosom forever throbs
With an untranslated pain
For the Sea is harp, aud the winds OF God
Play over his rythmic breast
And bear on the sweep y their mighty wings
The song of vague I&rest.

BIRMINGHAM, England. Sept. IL
Sir Oliver Lodge, the eminent scientist,
in an address to-day at Midland Insti-
tute in connection with memorial GER
emonies held on the occasion OF the
one hundredth anniversary of the
death of James Watt. inventor Of the
condensing steam engine. touched
again upon the subject of atomic prop
critics of matter.
Sir Oliver declared that the first util-
ization Of atomic properties of matter
was in wireless telephony He added
that II the atomic energy of an ounce
of matter could be utilized it would be
sufficient TO raise the German ships
sunk in the Scapa Flow and pile them
on top OF the Scottish mountains.
He said. however. that he hoped the
human race would not discover how to
use this energy until 1t had brains and
morality enough to use 1t properly, be-
cause II the discovery were made before
its time and by the wrong people this
planet would be unsafe.

WASHINGTON. Sept. IA new move
fnent toward the Observation-Disclosures
Of the war debt of all Of the allied ma =
tons, and for the creation of senti-
inent in this country for waving, for
G. given time at least, of the payment
Of interest on the more than $1,000
100000 already lent to the Allies, is
rnaking itself felt in Washington.
There has been strong pressure for
the extension Of new and long time
credits to allied countries for CONNER
cial transactions, for their rebuilding
and for the benefit OF American trade.
Official dispatches from France and
Great Britain indicate the business men
OF those countries are giving serious
consideration to the subject as an
economic necessity so far as they are
concerned. Heretofore the matter has
been one of sentiment in this country
to waive interest payments from those
who fought with us during the war and
were bled white financially.
There is, however, a decided and de-
termined opposition in Congress toward
any further extension Of loans or
waiver OF payments due. Representa-
tive Tinkham (Mass.) introduced a
resolution yesterday calling for a re-
port from the State Department on any
exchanges. formal or informal. relative
to the extension OF foreign credits or
loans or any conversations on the sub
ject whatsoever.
One of the last recommendation "
w. @. McAdoo as Secretary Of the
Treasury was for an extension OF peace
time credits to the Allies. This met with
small favor in Congress, and efforts at
legislation failed. The Federal Reserve
Board supported efforts for the ex-
tension OF such credits In the early days
OF the armistice, but apparently is TAX
ing q different view now.
Those favoring Observation-Disclosures OF
the war debt still stand on the argu-
ment that with each country equally
concerned the cost should be proper
toned among them. This would relieve
Great Britain and France particularly,
but would compel the United States to
share war costs that accrued before this
countrj e..tcGed the war
so far as official Washington is con.
cerned there is scant hope OF support
for a sharing OF war debt for wiplng
out the interest charges on allied loans,
or for extension Of further credits.
