MARKHAM'S QUESTION.

MARKHAM'S QUESTION.
Editor Times Recorder following are so
ines from Edwin Markham's poem called MARKHAM
question" and answer to it, said to have bt
written by Mr.. Hughes which I copy from the Janus
ssue of a law magazine. 1t seems to that this
wer may be helpful to some aching hearts these days,
The lines from Markhams poem follow:
n H, mother, will you longer give your sons
~ To feed the awful hunger of the guns?
What is the worth of all these battle drums
If from the field the loved one never comes?
What are loud hosannas to the brave
If all your share is some forgotten grave?
Here is the answer from Mr. Hughes:
HOD gave my son in trust to me;
~ Christ died for him, and he should be
for Christ. He is his own
And Gods and mans, not mine alone.
He was not mine to give. He gave
Himself that he might help to save
All that Christians should revere,
All that enlightened men hold dear
TO feed the guns?" Oh. torpid SOUL
Awake and see life as a whole.
When freedom, honor justice, right,
We're threatened by the despOt's might
With heart afame and soul alight
He bravely went for God to fight
Against those savages whose pride
The laws of God and man defed;
Who maidens pure and sweet defled;
He did not go to feed the guns"
He went to save from ruthless Huns
His home and country, and to be
A guardian of democracy
What if he does not Gomez" you say
All well, my sky would be more gray,
But through the clouds the sun would shine,
And vital memories be mine;
Gods test of manhood is, know,
Not will he Gomez" but Did he go?"
And yet he went with purpose high
To fight for peace, and overthrow
The plan of Christ's relentless foe
He dreaded not the battlefield;
He went to make fierce vandals yield
And if he comes not again to me
shall be sad but not that he
Went like man, hero true
His part unselishly to do.
My heart will feel unexultant pride
That for humanity he died
Forgotten grave?" This selfish plea
Awakes no deed response in me-
For though his grave I may not see,
My boy will ne'er forgotten be;
My real son can never die,
This but his body that may lie
In foreign land and shall keep
Remembrance fond, forever, deep
Within my heart of my true son
Because of triumphs that he won
1t matters not where some men live;
If my dear his life must give
Hosannas will sing for him,
Fen though my eyes with tears dim;
And when the war is over, when
His gallant comrades come again.
I'll cheer them as they're marching by,
Rejoicing that they did not die;
And when his vacant place / see
My heart will bound with joy that he
Was mine so long-my fine young SON
And cheer for him whose work is done

piled that there would be no money
to pay wages because it would have

The minister warned the public
that it was s~quandering it's money
in a colossal way on things that did

now poor. 1t is living as if it were

More beer was being brewed in
Great Britain yet people complain of

ENTRIES AND ATTENDANCE AT
EVENTS PASSES PRE-WAR
RECORDS

LONDON, July 19.-With the adj
vent of the summers season and the
banishing of the cares of war. Lon
don is witnessing a revival of sport
and on a scale never before known.
Participants, both young and old,
seem to enter into the games with
more zeal and earnestness than ever.
The parks have their cricket
pitches and their bowling green's,
the commons their open-air swim
ming baths. dancing arena and oc-
c~asionally their baseball diamond,
while the private residences have
their tennis and croquet lawns. Each
afternoon and evening. when the
weather is favorable, these rendez-
vous, with the-addition of the golf
links are filled with young and old.
Hardly a. week passes without a
sporting event on n of the large
tracks near the metropolis. The at
tendance and the entries passes all
pre-war record.
Perhaps, the most popular of all
games this summer is tennis.
This great boom in sports has
taken the sporting outfitters by sur
prise. There is hardly a tennis
racquet, tennis net, or set of tennis
balls to be had in London.

JAP PAPER EXPLAINS
POSITION ON CHINA
SAYS CHINA Is BEING "PRO-
TECTED" FOR JAPAN'S
OWN SECURITY

TOXIC, July 19.-"Japan does
not pretend to be wholly unselfish
in her policy toward China" says
the Herald of ASIA" a conservative
journal of Japanese thought. Japan
is protecting China chiefly for the
sake of her own security" the paper
continued.
Japan cannot allow China to
barter away her birthright even II
she is simple enough to engage in
such folly. If China wants to test
Japan's sincerity let her refuse all
further concessions to occidental ma
lions and secure for all time the in
alienation of her territory, and ia
pans task in regard to China will
be finished.
1T is a question, however, wheth-
err China is yet able to do without
the assistance of Japan in keeping
foreign nations at bay; and this
help, strange to say, is just what
China does not want. Is 1T that
China would rather be a slave of the
white race than the equal of Japan!
We a hardly credit this.
There rs no need for China to be
anxious about the return of Kiau-
chow. Japan has promised to re-
store the territory to China just
as soon as China is able to guarantee
it will not again fall into the hands
of a third party. What more can
China desire? And does justice re-
quire more? China talks as if she
were an absolutely independent ma
ton, granting concessions to no
country. If she will take this atti-
tude toward all western countries,
Japan will be ready to concede
China her new status. But to show
a desire to cast out Japan while
leaving the others in place, is some
thing no one can expect Japan to
approve"

find cut if Harold E. White, leading

Van Buren, been seen.
Harold will show up somewhere
some time, but it will probably be
under another name. He knows
lust enough not to say too much,
and he was wise enough not to at
tempt to pass any worthless paper.
But then, maybe, he did not have
the opportunity.-Tonopah Times.

even should the miners return to work

Reports from various cities in the
state today indicated their fuel sur

point Schools In several of the
large cities have been closed, public
assemblages prohibited and theatres

istrator, went to Cedar Rapids today
to learn the status Of the fuel situa-

Rapids industries were reported about
to close because of fuel shortage.
Webster urged continued conserva'
ton if fuel famine is to be avoided.
