REV. N. 1. JONES HAS PROPER PUNISHMENT FOR EX-KAISER

Thompson.-T following poem is from the pen of Rev. Newton l. Jones, who will be remembered by Thompson people. He was formerly the pastor of the Congregational church The poem is entitled What Sentence Shall Be to the kaiser?" What sentence shall be to the Kaiser? Inquire in the depths of the sea Of the many that have perished there by his murderous decree; List to the cries of the little children as they come from beneath the waves,
 And the plaintive voices of women as they rise from the watery graves. What sentence shall be to the Kaiser? Who more fitly may tell Than the murdered Captain Fryatt, or the sainted nurse Cavell2 Or the thousands of Belgian patriots who by frightfulness were slain. Whose names are on the deathless page and ever shall there remain. What sentence shall be to the Kaiser? Hark to the moan of the dead As 1t rises in solemn concert from the fields where their blood was shed; As 1t tells of the hopes that are blight ed. of the work they intended to do, Of the life that was wrecked in the morning, of their purposes noble and true.
 What sentence shall be to the Kaiser? What say the hosts that mourn For a husband. a brother or father who has from their home been torn9
 Their food is the bread of sorrow, and their drink is the tears of woe. What say they of the fate of the hal- ser. whose crimes have made 1t soY What sentence shall be to the Kaiser? Let the nations their verdict pro claim
 For he who cared not for humanity shall be judged in hunan'.y's He sought the achievement of nations, in that bondage himself shall share; And the shackles he forged for ther peoples he is destined himself to wear.
 What sentence shall be to the Kaiser? Banished to some lonely isle Let him dwell there alone with hls conscience and mediate awhile. Haunted by murdered millions let him in that place remain, EXecrated by every people and wear ing the mark of Cain.
