POEMS WORTH READING.
The Sons Of Han.

When purple dusk drifts low between the
weather beaten walls
And shadows paint an eery scene where
each dim alley sprawls,
EKpressionless and almond eyed. on cat
like feet they go,
The Sons Of Han, the yellow men whom
shall never know.
Behind their stolld masks they nSds
thousand buried years:
The rivers of achievement glide beneath
their unshed tears.
What mystery Is in their hearts. what
vision In their eyes,
Is secret as the silent moon that mounts
the lonely skies
Who knows what gongs are ringing In
their wistful dreams at night,
What Junks are slowly swinging down
their tabled Streams OF Light
With bannerets and dragon Gags. with Ian
terms and with song,
Perhaps they see the hosts OF Ming In
vision pass along.
GrimacinE gods and lustrous tades, fan
] tastic silks and scents,
Two handed swords with carven blades
black lscauers, Tartar tents,
Are in my mind at sight OF them as
silently they 60,
The Sons OF Han, the yellow men whom L
shall never know.

WILSON himself q close second. He
has been for BRYAN and against him |;
for paciHcism and for furious war.
He advocated bill to prevent Amerl-
can manufacturers from sending mu-
nitions to the Allies. Then, when
STONE fell down as the Administra-
ton leader In the Senate on the de-
bate over the armlng of our ships.
HITCHCOCK took his place. He one
minute cried out that he was an
American and the next minute wrote
a sympathetic letter to George SYL-
vEsrER vIEREcK, the press agent for
Germany.
Some may say that Senator with
a huge capacity for shifting ought to
be the very man, temperamentally, to
guide the. Covenant. But two shifting
minds rarely follow each other; 1t Is
so hard to synchronize them. The
President may not care to entrust the
League to Senator whose curious
political manner caused him to have
two faces in as many weeks over the
treaty with France. On this subject
Senator HITCHCOCK said:
I'm the beginning was not much
disposed to favor the agreement to
support France in case she became
the object of German aggression. but
have concluded that is necessary in
the present state Of affairs and can
not be avoided"
Statements like this may have
caused Mr.. WILSON to decide that the
League would do better In the arms
of Senator SWANSON; and II Mr.. WILL
SON wants the Democratic minority
In the Senate to follow CLAUDEs bell
then 1t is all of with GILBERT. A
majority Of the minority will do ms
the President orders. even when he
slaps the beloved seniority rule.
