Grey, grey! The sea and sky are
grey
Dark with the unshed tears Of
those who We mourned;
But through the drear Of this De-
cember day
a lonely merle to song, to song
has turned.
Impatient bird, for you no tears!
Though to the sun you re
strange, as we
Across the icy waste Of these last
Which have not yet relearned
hilarity.

forgotten song
You Spirit, shake that trilling lift
and fall
Of notes afar, and take our
hearts along!

WHY WE WERE ABLE TO FEED
BELGIUM

n T is fortunate that In arranging the
itinerary of King Albert Of Belgium
the great middle west was included, for
there he was given an opportunity to
see Americas great grain belt. 1t will
not now be difficult for him to real
ize how 1t was possible for the United
and other European countries. AS
King Albert and his son continue west
there will open before his eyes a vast
country of unlimited resources, the
country that did much toward feeding
the world while the war was in prog
ress.
King Albert Ii not unappreciative OF
what these vast fields meant to his
people. At Omaha he said: While
entering the great agricultural center
of this country the queen and will re-
member that 1t YVES from the wheat
belt that came the first spontaneous
offering of foodstuffs to stricken Bel

The people of the United tSates are
happy over the thought that we were
able to render assistance to Belgium
after 1t was stricken by the German
military plague and they are pleased
over the words OF appreciation from
the king of the Belgians. We did onl!

emit. Taking issue with the

president. Taking issue with the
presidents assertion that Great Brit
aims six votes in the assembly would
be no more powerful than the one
vote of this country, because action
of the assembly must be by unani
nous vote, the Indiana senator pointed
to the provision in article Is, under
which, he said. any dispute referred to
the assembly may be decided by ma
jority vote.
It is true that under the terms of
the covenant either party to a con-
troversy may take a change Of venue
to the general assembly, but the pres
ident is right in his contention that
even then the league council would
control the decision, for there is pro-
vision that. to be binding, the deci-
sion must be not only by a majority
of the assembly, but must be CON
Cured in by the representatives Of
those members of the league repre-
scented on the council
The president, though is wrong in
his broad statement that Great Brit
aims six votes in the assembly would
be no more powerful than the one
vote of this country. If Lloyd George
had had that thought he would not
have been so insistent that five Brit
ish colonies be given representation
| in the assembly. Even If they had
only a speaking part as the president
| contends, their influence would be
there, directly upon the assembly and
indirectly upon the council.
But the assembly has more than a
speaking or debating role. It has ex-
elusive authority, for example, to ad-
NIT new members to the league. When
Germany knocks for admission, the
British empire will then have six votes
to our one. :.
The council, when fully formed, will
have nine members. Five OF these
members are fixed by the league COW

ain, France italy and Japan. The ad-

BAD METHODS PUT TO GOOD USE.

nm o doubt opinion in this country Is
I'M at conflict over the methods used
by John d. Rockefeller in making his
millions, but most of US can agree that
he is putting $20,000,000 to good use
when he donated that amount for the
Improvement of medicine in the United
on research work and within so years
the entire principal to be distributed
where it will do the most good. An
nually the income from this gift will
be 100000, a princely sum for eXpen-
diture in field of usefulness.
Too much credit can not be given to
those scientists who have, while the
world rushed on in a mad race for
money or position, isolated themselves
in a laboratory and worked day after
day to discover new ways to prevent,
combat and cure disease. After all
they have given more to the total of
human happiness than any who have
given wealth alone. Rapid strides have
been made In this field of medical re-
search. but there is still much to be
done. Many diseases that continue to

SHOULD ARRITRATE.

|ID)REsIDENT Gompers of the Amer
In lean Federation Of Labor proposes
|...a4.ediate arbitration Of the points at
issue between the employer and en-
|ploye In the steel strike. 1t is a pro-
Iposal that should be affirmed and acted
upon. Through arbitration the owners
take in such a manner as to resume
operations in the plants and send the
idle men back to work. Conditions In
this country are not now the same
as during the war. The employers can
afford to meet the employe in the hope
OF settling their differences. Nothing
win be lost. by giving little ground.
| Industrial unrest at this time IS not
only serious but contains dangerous
sIsments. We are involved in a recon-
struction period in which, to make 1t
successful and to avoid the pitfalls
made possible by radicals, sane men
must try to work in harmony and pull
together.
Against arbitration will be raised
the argument by the United States
Steel corporation heads that they can
not afford to give ground on so impor-
tant an issue as the closed or open
shop. They insist on the open shop
as against the demand of organized
labor for a closed shop. Ordinarily this
might be true. But neither the closed
or the open shop Is of such imperative
Importance as to shut down industries
and keep men, who should be working,
idle and likely to be engaged in some
other occupation that would not be as
beneficial to their country or themselves
as their labors would be If they were
engaged at their trade in the steel
plants. Probably too much has already
been made Of both the closed and open
shop as principle. Nor can the strikers
arbitrarily insist on the closed shop for
the steel plants. Labor Is entitled to a
fair and reasonable compensation FOL
its service. Capital Is entitled to a
fair and reasonable return on its In
vestment. But because both sides be
come headstrong and insist on princi'
pie in it's entirety and will not give wa,
to reason must industry be crippled
and laboring men deprived Of living

grounds for arbitration be: Right t.
