Life is What You Make It

"Life is song," cries the singer,
"One beautiful, grand, sweet song;
With never a tone of discord
And never thought of wrong"
"Nay, life is a poem sweet"
Says the poet, with face serene,
"In which we glide on the ocean
Of life, like beautiful dream"
But a frowning warrior answers,
Life? 'Tis battle fierce
With the clash of arms, and the clango
And fiery darts that pierce"
Ah, singer, poet, warrior,
My heart tells me you are wrong;
For life is what we make it,
Be it battle, poem, or song.

The Problem of the Clock

Brother, will you kindly wise me
To this problem of the clock?
Please be patient and advise me,
For my head is solid block.
With the old time and the new time
And the early time and late,
And the false time and the true time,
Pm befuddled in the pate.
If you've doped it, brother, tell me
What's the key to all these snares?
Can the government compel me
To adjust my meals to theirs?
I've been up against some stickers,
But this clock-thing beats them all.
Why not let them time their tickers
To my trusty Ingersoll?
When my Big Ben starts to chatter
With loud and deadly ring,
Tell me, does it really matter
If l chuck the crazy thing?
When / yawn and turn me over
For an hour of snooze sublime,
In my little patch of clover,
Have I gained or lost the time?
Do get up any sooner
BY the clock than by the sun?
And does lunch time come at noon,ol
At eleven or at one?
I've been doing it in fggers
Till I'm blind and deaf and dumb,
And I've got the jumpin' jiggers
T., my "thinkatorium."
NAL Rose, Oskaloosa, Ioaca.

If We Give Ourselves

Christmas is not a day or a season,
but condition of heart and mind. If we
love our neighbors as ourselves; if in our
riches we are poor in spirit and in our
poverty we are rich in grace; if our
charity vaunteth not itself, but suffereth
and is kind; if when our brother asks a
loaf we give ourselves instead; if each
day dawns in opportunity and sets in
achievement however small; then every
day is Christs day and Christmas is al
ways near.

AUSTRALIANS
DO NOT WANT
ANNEXATION

SYDNEY, Australia, March 2 (Cor-
responence Of the Associated Press)
Public opinion in Australia as ex-
pressed by some of the newspapers OF
Sydney and Melbourne is represented
as opposing the idea that Australia
wants to annex the formerly German
islands of the South Pacific. They
point out that there has been a mis-
apprehension in Paris and elsewhere
as to the attitude of Australians on
this point For example, the Mel.
bourne Age says:
can unhappy and untrue picture of
Australia is being drawn by the peace
conference. We are represented as
demanding German territory as pay.
ment for our services in the war. A
wrong impression may very well be
due to Misrepresentation of Austral
ian opinion. Mr.. Hughes (premier)
appears to have given the unfortunate
impression that Australia wants to
annex the Pacific islands. The only
datum he can have is the resolution
passed by both houses of parliament
in November last, declaring that the
captured German colonies must not
be handed back to Germany, and that
Australia should be consulted over
their disposition. This is a very diff
ferent thing from a claim for annexa-
ton. We want, in fact, to have as
little responsibility for them as is
consistent with our safety. 1t would
be calamity if they were given to
Australia as gift. Australia is not
in a position to manage an empire in
the Pacific. We have already far more
territory than we can populate and
develop"
The Sydney Daily Telegraph also
disavows any desire by Australia to
start little empire" of her own.
What would have suited us best
would have been the assumption of
control in the Pacific by Britain her
SELF" says the Telegraph. COR even
by America, if America had seen her
way clear to stretch her idea of anti
imperial policy. Most Australians IT
they had been consulted would have
preferred not to take them (the for
mer German possessions near Aus
tralia) at all if security could be OBJ
tanned in any other way"
The Melbourne Argus declares that,
since the whole Australian people
were united in the determination that
the islands should not go back to Ger
many, Australia cannot shirk the duty
of accepting mandate from the
league of nations, but it adds that the
burden will be heavy, the RESPONSE
bilites great, the cost severe and the
return, except in security, problem
atical"

ST. S0PHIA'S
IS MENACED

LONDON, March "a Correspond
| ence of the Associated Press).-
Warning that the Turks had threat.
ened to destroy the Church Of st.
Sophia in Constantinople, If any move.
ment was undertaken to restore that
church to the Christians had been re.
ceived by government officials OF
Great Britain.
The subject was brought up in the
house of commons the other day when
Arthur J. Balfour, the foreign min
lister, was asked if he had received a
communication from Constantinople
stating that the Turks intended tc
blow up the Church of St. Sophia iii
any public expression of opinion took
place in the United Kingdom in favor
of the restitution to Christendom OF
one of the Oldest Christian churches
in Europe
Mr.. Balfour replied that no official
communication to that effect had been
received but that such information had
been conveyed by interested parties.
He announced that Admiral Calthorp,
British commander in ConstantinOple,
had been instructed to take measures
to protect the building and that he
would see that these instructions
were carried out.
Despite the warning there is a
definite movement looking to the res
toration of the great cathedral church
of ancient Constantinople to the use
of the Christian religion. Erected at
first in $50 A. d. and rebuilt in 537
as a Christian cathedral, st. Sophia
was, appropriated by the Turks as a
Moslem house Of worship and is now
the principal mosque of STEAMBOAT.
A memorial signed by the arch
bishops of Canterbury and York and
Others has heen sent to Premier Lloyd
George urging that, while the great
lmpeTlal mosques VI CoIlS IetutlHoplo
should remain in the hands of Islam,
Justice requires that the Christians
of that city, who form a large ma
jority of it's inhabitants should have
their priceless building Est. Sophia)
restored to them. 1t has no special
sacredness for Moslems. It's value In
their eye is merely political.
;'Thc great church is now in a
serious condition and must inevitably
| collapse If it is not placed in capable
hands," says the memorial. "The glor-
ious mosaics, precious heritage
among the artistic treasures OF the
world, should be uncovered from the
DETACHMENT which is necessarily inn
posed so long as the building, con
structed and decorated for one faith,
is alienated and devoted to another.

DO 1T RIGHT

The proposal to give public lands to
returned soldiers needs certain "a
mount of watching. 1t is an excellent
one, if it does not operate to the sol
diers' disadvantage.
1t has been charged that the present
scheme is to select land lying in des-
ert districts or in swamps, and to i'm
pose upon the soldiers the work of
reclamation. If this is true, it is an
unconscionable imposition.
The purpose of such a scheme should
be to reward the soldiers-not to en-
able the nation, or rather, that part
of it that did not go to war, to profit
at their expense. There are millions
of acres of public land ready for cul-
tivation at once. Give that to the dis
charged veterans; the swamps can be
drained and the deserts irrigated al
the public cost-not at the expense Of
the soldiers.
The loan offered to the soldiers t.
furnish them with the necessary fund:
would not discharge the nations debt
as the advances must be repaid at foul
| per cent. If we are calling the grant;
a free gift, make them so in fact a
well as in name.
