TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
IN THE GARDEN.

What can they know of the things 1 know
Or of the things see,
When climb to the height of the garden at night,
And they will not climb with me?
They never shall catch the tnkling tune
OF the foxg gloves rosy bells,
Nor see white candy-tuft like faces
Framing the purple pansy faces.
They never may learn the bedtime song
OF the thrush that trils in the jasmine vine,
Nor watch the sweet peas drowsy bonnets
Nodding down from the trellis line,
While the palehued phoxes' whispered call
To the blue dephinuIn by the wall
Is thing they never can hear at all!
And yet it is not hard to be
A part of the garden pageantry
If the heart climbs, too, set free
But what can they know of the things know,
Or see of the things | see,
If / climb to the gardens end alone,
And they will not climb with me?

GERMAN PROPAGANDA IN NEW FORM

From Washington come rumors that new
form Of German propaganda is in the making
IN our land and with the innocent cooperation
of some of our loyal publicity agents. flood
of documents from German officials, both mill
tary and civil, is being offered our newspaper
press and is being received and exploited to a
considerable extent. Undoubtedly these docu-
ments by German generals, admirals ministers,
are taken by news managers in the thought that
they will find an interested public and possibly
they will. But it is questioned whether the in
tent Of the writers may not be that of a devils
advocate; whether the explanations and argu-
ments advanced may not in fact be propa-
ganda of excuse and amelioration for German
conduct of the war and attitude toward it. The
American newspaper press was used for many
years as an agent for German propaganda. 1t
could not again be used to any extent were the
motive understood. But the motive was not
understood of old and it may not be now.
