"THE eIvoUAc OF THE DEAD"

was a southerner-a Kentuck.
ian. We omit a few Of the verses:
The mufHed drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on Life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On Fame's eternal camping-ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And Glory guards. with solemn round.
The bivouac Of the dead.
No rumor Of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind
No troubled thought at midnight haunts
OF loved ones left behind;
No vision Of the morrow's strife
The warriors dream alarms:
No braying horn nor screaming hfe
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their silvered swords are red with rust:
Their plumed heads are bowed;
Their naughty banner, trailed in dust,
Is now their martial shroud.
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from cash brow,
And the proud forms, by battle gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neishing troop. the flashing blade.
The bugles stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout are past:
Nor wars wild note, nor giory's peal.
Shall shrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that nevermore may fesl
The rapture Of the fight.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted dsadi
Dear as the blood you gave:
No impious footstep here shall tread
The herbage Of your grave;
Nor shall your story be forgot,
While Fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallowed spot
Where Valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrel's voiceless stone
In deathless song shall tell,
When many vanished age hath flown.
The story how ye fell;
Nor wreck. nsr change. nor winters blight
Nor Times remorseless doom,
Shall dim one ray Of glory's light
That gilds your deathless tomb.

Newspapers Wage Bitter Agitation

open demonstrations.
Representative Japanese deplore the
press campaign and have begun to
criticise the government for its failure
to check the literary outburst on the
ground that they are going 80 far that
they are liable to engender Ill feel
ing.
The participants in q mass meeting
held Sunday, at which some anti
American speeches were delivered,
announced their intention Of continuing
the demonstration in front OF the
American embassy. The police, how
ever, prevented this step.
The belief is expressed here that the
basis for the agitation In fear OF the
growing influence of tho United States
in international affairs as evidenced by
her position at the peace conference
and that It will act as curb on what
are regarded as Japans legitimate as
pirations in China and Siberia.
After declaring that renewed at
tempts for anti-Japanese legislation on
the Pacific slope indicate that tho
Americans persecute japan In every
thing, while wearing the mask OF lib

charges the Americans with having in
cited the Chinese to make the secret
treaties public and also accuses Amer

actions are more despicable than those

- Statesburs, May @: The safe In
the freight office of the Charleston
& Western Carolina railway in this
city was last night blown open and
robbed of the sum of $45 in cash,
about 5000 in checks and several in
surance policies belonging to John
Scruggs, local agent of the company.
No trace of the robber or robbers has
yet been found. It Is believed that the
job was that Of an expert yeggman
as all indications show that the work
was neatly done. The robber entered
through the rear of the depot some
time during the night. The robbery
was discovered this morning by a
member Of the city police force. The
city and county authorities are on the
trail Of the guilty party or parties but
thus far nothing has been found which
would lead to their capture.

ers.
The result of this disturbance is that
food production will be materially de-
creased. In other territory, due to q
lack of transportation and seed, crop
production will be very much reduced
Conditions everywhere are such that
there is little hope for normal produc }.
ton. With the disturbance in the
country, 1t is found that the people are
flocking to the cities. In 1914 the city
of Budapest had a population of about
10000 while the population today Is
more than 100000. The city of Vien-
ma in the past few months has In
creased in population more than l.
O00, 900. During normal times the city
of Vienna received 100000 liters of
milk daily. At this time this has been
reduced to 10000 liters of milk, which
Is given by cards only to babies and
invalids. The American -four which
has reached Germany has been sold
in half-pound lots for 2.14 marks. This
would be at the rate Of about 81 cents
a pound. Other foodstuffs are selling
at unusually high prices, all of which
indicates that the supply of food Is
far from meeting the demand.
The expected surplus Of India and
Australia has been much reduced. In
stead of India having 20O.00o,000 BUSH
els of wheat for export that country
must receive a large amount to fight
Off famine. A part Of the Australian
surplus was lost as result OF mold
rodents, and general deterioration.
In view Of these facts, D. I. Chris
tie, assistant secretary Of agriculture
speaking for the department, has call
ed upon American farmers to keep up
their record production Of recent war
years, not only as humane contri-
button to the welfare Of mankind, but
as good business.

DEFENSE OF THE Y

Chairman Of tho Finance Committee
Makes Public Statement.
George w. Perkins, chairman of the
finance committee of the Y. M. c. A.
has made public here his official re-
port as investigator into the efficiency
and service Of the organization over
seas.
He went abroad with Monrtimer L.
Schifr, F. 8. Brockman and John R.
Hall when criticism Of the Y. M. c. A.
was being voiced In this country and
returned to make his report last week.
1.-THE Y. NJ. C. A. undoubtedly made
mistakes" Mr.. Perkins said, "but what
it tried to do was to respond to every
call that the army made on 1t. 1t did
not side step any task that 1t was ask
ed to perform"
Indicating the care with which men
and women Y. N. c. A. workers were
selected for overseas work, Mr.. Per-
kins reported that out Of 10000 can
didates 10000 were sifted out and con-
sidered in New York but finally only
11,229 were gent to Europe. Last
month the organization had In Eu-
rope 5,sss men and 2.657 women work.
ers.
That the Y. M. C. A. workers as
whole were brave and unselfish Is
shown by the fact that IA secretaries
were killed and 1875 others were
wounded he said.
Regarding the charge Of profteering
in supplies Mr.. Perkins report said:
zone day we could get supplies sent
ON a government boat without freight
charges. The next day the only way
to send them was to pay almost as
much freight as the goods cost. 1t
will be readily seen that 1t was almost
impossible to arrive at anything like
an average cost price at which to sell
these goods.
1.-THE Y. NJ. c. A never solicited
money for the purpose Of giving away
its canteen supplies. The statement
has been frequently made that the Y.
M. C. A. charged higher prices for can
teen supplies than the army did. This
was true at certain periods when the
cost of transportation was exceeding
" high and when 1t was impossible to
determine costs accurately. But the
final result Of the Y. M. c. A. can
teen service will show q substantial
loss.
"The Y. M. c. A. handled in France
alone upwards of 100000 packages OF
cigarettes, 100000 bars Of chocolate
IS, ,OOO, 900 cigars, 100000 cans Of jam,
20, 100000 packages Of chewing gum
and 10000. 900 packages Of candy.
These are only q few Of the items
handled but the size Of these figures
should convince any one that 1t would
be financially impossible for the Y. M.
C. A. to give its supplies away gen.
orally. Furthermore, the army does
not favor any such policy.
ION March 1 of this year. the Y. NJ.
C.. A. had in use in France 6S7 build
ings erected by itself, 596 under lease
and 1872 centers in tents and army
buildings. More than 2,250,000 athle-
tic articles were given to soldiers IN
1913 and 1919"
