The Lost Songs

As l lay out the other night
Upon the mountain high,
All the lost songs of the world
Came throbbing through the sky.
Some schoolboy of the Angel-folk
At play by Heaven-town,
Had found the ancient well of Time
And dropped bucket down.
He dropped it down, he pulled it up.
A singing water filled it;
He caught the rim against the moon
And Ger the Earth he spilled it.
Now Times old well is wide and deep,
And in it there are drowned
All the dumb songs men could not sing
Because their tongues were bound.
Strong impulses of melody
That never found their birth,
But helped to mould immortal clay
Out of the common earth.
Now in full voice. unfettered joy,
Among the stars they tumbled;
They fell in spray from cloud to cloud,
All singing things they humbled.
o piercing sweetness, silvery din,
Ten thousand mingling notes:
The nightingales of all the world
Had lent the stars their notesl
o Love, when Time is dead well stand
In Heavens transparent weather,
And all the lost songs of the world
Well sing again together.

CRITICISM AGAINST Y. M. c. A. UNJUSTIFIED
Rev. Dr. Cook Defends Organization at Church Scryicc-TellS Pa
 thCtic Story.

The Y. M. c. A. part in the world war was strikingly illustrated by Rev. Warren F. Cook who is lately returned from work in France at the morning service of Trinity Methodist church yesterda: MT. Cook defended the Y. M. c. A. against those scathing at tacks tending to belittle the great work that the institution has done during the war, adding that the Y. M. C. A. has made mistakes. There is no doubt of it. They sent men to France who were not big enough for the work, but when the entire history of welfare work is made known, and the light thrown on the commendable works done by the association, and both sides of the story become known, | believe fair judgment will be passed"
 One instance in particular where the criticism of a soldier was unjust was testified to by the pastor. One day Rev MT. Cook was standing in front of a "Y'' hut when he heard a soldier say: "What does the Y. M C. A. do for us? I've been up in the front lines and never saw a Y. M. c. A. man up there" MT, Cook on hear ing this statemen went over to the speaker and requested that he step in side the hut for a moment. On a cot inside the hut was "Y' worker who had been up there." A complete physical wreck he was totally unable to move from his cot, probably never to be able to do any work of any kind for the rest of life, but still game to go out with the boys if they would move him. This "Y' man had follow ed the boys right up to the front lines. He had worked right with the boys, and had risled his life, being struck down while in the conduct of duty.

COMMON COUNCIL ID
 ATTACK \. [. OF l.
To Discuss Buying Government : Supplies at Special Session

The guns will be trained on the high cost of living tomorrow evening when the common council will meet in special session to discuss the au- thorization of a plan to secure the surplus food supply that the gov ernment has on hand, and which can be obtained by cities throughout the country. There is every reason to assume that the plan of Mayor George A. Quigley to secure some of these goods will meet with the approval of the council. In his recent trip of investigation to New York, Mayor Qyigley became acquainted with solne facts that will be presented at tomorrow nights meeting.
 The government sells the goods to a municipality on consignment, al lowing 30 days for payment. There is stipulation, however, that in or der to secure goods by freight, at least carload must be ordered. Ar ticles may be secured in a limited quantity, by the utilization of auto trucks. There is, however, belief that should the common council scS ction the plan, purchasing by the carloads will prove the most feasible.
 Mayor Quigley has wired to Mayor Gillen of Newark, N. J., asking that facts concerning the successful method of disposing of the goods purchased from the government in that city be furnished.
 Several prominent citizen have vol unteered their assistance in putting across the proposition, Jesse F. At water. traffic manager of the Ameri- cAn Hardware corporation, agreeing to look after the shipments to this city, and D. McMilIan generously offering to allow the sale of goods in the base ment of his Main street dry goods establishment.
 The government has on hand a bduntiful supply of foodstuffS that should greatly relieve the excessive costs of the present. There is a large demand for meats and canned goods, and Mayer Quigley has learned that ham, bacons, and canned goods of general variety can be secured in an unlimited amount.
 Alderman A. M. Paoncssa has in ested himself in the proposed relief movement, and he will present a rec ommendation at the meeting tomor- row evening authorizing the adoption of the plan.
 Two butchers will be needed to cut up the bacon and hams, and other assistance will be sought. There is plenty to be done, and the women of the city can take an important part in the success of the venture by work ing in the store and in other ways.

FREIGHT TIE-UP IS
 HURTING THIS CITY
If Railroad Situation Doesn't Change Manufactures May Close

The railroad tie-up which has been in existence since Friday still remains the same and as yet there have been aO new trains added to the revised time table which was issued Saturday morning by the New Haven office. At the present time there are over 12 trains which have been taken off the local lines owing to the labor disturb anCeS at New Haven, and 1t is possible that moro may be taken off today if the engines aren't oVerhauled Wbich have been crippled owing to the fact that there are no mechanics to repair them.
 Although the situation looks bright CT today than it has since the strike took effect, the old time table will not be restored for several days. The To- cal ticket agent has as yet received no word in regard to any new trains on the local lines tomorrow. Due to the fact that the delegates represent ing the 5000 members of the system federation of the New York, New Ha- ven tz Hartford Railroad company, which met at New Haven late today to put the question of ending the shOpmens strike to a vote of six crafts involved will not release the results of the ba,lloting until Thursday, the passenger train situation will prob ably have to remain the same until that time.
