THE LAST SALNO,
From Yankee Gums Over the Fields
of Flanders.

(T'wo minutes before II o'clock the
last shell shrieked over No Mans
Land Hostilites ended with
a tremendous crash Of American can

Ghost Of Molly Pitcher at Monmouth,
Did you hear that last crash Of
thunder
Shaking the hills from the .Vosges to
the Marine,
And the whole world rocking un-
der
Did you stop as you swabbed the
wrath Of your gun,
And cooled it's hot throat with wa
ter,
TO bark to the Yanks good-by to the
Across the red fields Of slaughter?
Seventy-five miles of fire and flame
Volcano and earthquake com bining,
Trainloads and shiploads of shot and
Roaring and shrckirg and whin-
ing.
The ground swung around like a
weather Vane,
And the rivers heaved that were
near it
Oh ghost Of old mad Anthony Wayne
At stony Point, did you hear it?
Hickory jackson at New Orleans,
In the sand-bagged trenches kneel-
ing,
Did it knock your cooked hat from
your head
When you heard our big guns peal
ing?
Shaking the skies with their awful
din.
Like the a demands of Wilson,
Smashing the window panes in Ber-
lin.
And bursting the bungs in Pilsen.
This was the way it came to an end
Thus was the last word spoken
From the narrow seas TO beyond the
Rhine
As the world lay black and broken :;
'7rvas thus was said good-hy to the
Huns,
Doomed with their proud COM
manders
When the hills were rocked from the
Yankee guns,
Over the fields Of Flanders.

year the federal levy upon Ponnsyl-
Nania will be Approximately $1,000,-
100000 if the revenue bill now before
congress becomes a law. This sum,
he said. is almost equal to the aggre-

wealth for state purposes in all the
12S years since the state was organ

Italy is ready TO meet all just claims

SALARY INCREASES,

The speed with which New Britain
is growing is indicated by a glance
at the new salary roll recommend
ed by a committee of the Common
Council, which concluded its work of
reimbursement last night. More than
Il quarter million dollars will be dis
tributed among the salaried employ es
Of the city during the next fiscal year,
if the report of the committee is ap-
proved by the council. The exact fig
ures are $252,476.72 and this is ex-
elusive of the salaries Of the Board
Of Education, estimated at $322,5OO
The salary increases recommended
for next year, not including the
school department, total $27,555.
1t may be necessary in the near flu
ture to readjust the pay Of all those
in the employ Of the city. At present
several who are on the salary list are
suspected of receiving more than they
are worth while others have been
forced to fight for every dollar of in
crease. The salaries of a number
have gone up with lightning ike
rapidty, leaving in the wake those
who have been in the same department
for a much longer period and who are
more experienced and more valuable
to the city.
