THE SWANS OF YPRES


Ypres was once weaving town.
Where merchants jostlcd up and down.
And merry shuttles used TO ply;
on the looms the fleeces were
Brought from the mart at winchester,
And silver fox from Burgundy.

Makes silver warp on dyke and pond;
Her hands fling wells Of lily-woof
On riven spire and open roof
And on haggard marsh beyond.
No happy ghosts or fairies haunt
The ancient city. huddling gaunt.
Where wagons crawl with anxious
wheel.
And o'er the marsh land desolate
Wind slowly to the battered gate
That Flemings can the gate OF Lille.
Yet by some wonder II befails
That. where the lonely outer walls
Brood In the silent pool below,
Among the sedges of tho moat,
Like lilies furled. the two swans float;
The Swans of Ypres. men call them now
They have heard guns and many men
Come and depart and come again;
They have seen strange. disastrous
things,
When fire and fume rolled o'er their nest:
But changeless and aloof they rest.

EAGLE BOAT PROBE
REVEALS NO EVIDENCE
TO SUSTAIN CHARGE
Bv United Press

bA Ahlten Itsc
WASHINGTON, March 4.-The
senate committee named to investi-
gate the Ford Eagle boat contracts
reported today that mo charge
against either the government or the
Ford company is sustained by the
evidence.
The Eagle boats are essential in
the navy program, the report said.
These other findings were made:
The Eagle boat is the best type
of submarine chaser: The charge
that the boats were leaky and un-
satisfactory is untrue: The boats
were required as part of the
peace-time navy; the Ford Co. did
not seek the contract; there are no
grounds for criticism. by reason Of
the increased cost over that original
ly hoped for: the contract with Ford
Co. was more favorable than those
with other companies.
Henry Ford will personally make
no profit out of the boats.
