THE EMPTY STOCKING.


BY Edmund Vance Cook.
Across her bed upon a Christmas
A weeping child lay hapless and
forlorn,
A stocking by her side
Whose unfed mouth grinned

And Knocked the grief of childish

They tell me this is but an artists

A bit of cunning art,
Pigmented part by part

by the heart.
So be it, then! So may it ever be.

Sir Horace said he would not
appear as a witness before the
committee of one hundred investi-
eating conditions in ireland, and
he explained his visit here as solely
one of recreation.
Il will leave New York very
soon for the west" he said.
II will lose myself for about two
months; I want to be quiet and,
compared with ireland now, Amer
lea is a wilderness.
Newspapers Complimented.
Although reluctant to discuss
the Irish political situation, he
complimented the American and
French newspapers on their enter
prise in sending journalists to Ire
land.
These men have been swarm
ing into Ireland for many months, .
he added. "They have given the
world generally the truth and
American people now know more
of conditions there than do the
people of England"
He added that the Irish question
was made difficult in Great Britain
because the British people were
not informed of the true conditions
in ireland. He asserted that If
they were informed, nine-tenths of
the British public would be against
the Irish bill as it now stands.

A. e. Robinson, representing the
womens trade unions. who have
been in Ireland, were among the
passengers. They expect to testify

PROTESTANT SECT WoRSHIPs IN
JEWISH SYNAGOGUE; AGES TREND
ISExEMPLIFIED, RABBI Believes

Members of the congregation

church worshipped yesterday
in a Jewish synagogue and the
Rev. A. M. knudsen, pastor of
the Lutherans, preached from
the rostrum that is ordinarily
occupied by Rabbi Noise Berg
man, of Temple Albert.
The reason for this unwonted
occurrence is that the Luther
ans were without a church
yesterday, repairs being made
on the heating system. So ar
rangements were made with
Rabbi Bergman for the Pro-
testant congregation to use the
temple of the Jewish congre-
cation.
Rabbi Bergman, when ques-

such A REVOLUTION
HELD AS INEVITABLE
AT WHITE HOUSE

= Washington, March 13.-Press dis
patches brought to- official Washing
ton its first news of the overthrow of
the German government by the
military.
Such revolution was inevitable, 7"
was the comment of White House Of
ficials but officers at the state de-
partment would make no statement,
preferring to wait for official advices
and additional details.
White House officials would not M
dicate on what they based their ex-
pectation of an uprising.
Reports from Germany to govern
ment departments, however, have
indicated a growing feeling Of unrest
because of the slowness of recanstruc-
ton and a return of world peace.
No reports regarding the revolu-
tion have been received either from
Ellis Loring Dressed, special United
States commissioner at Berlin, or
Colonel Edward Davis, American mill
itary observer at the German capital.
1t is known, however, that they have
regarded the situation as serious.
Communications with the Nauen
radio station at Berlin has been in
terrupted for AS hours but it was re-
sumed today. 1t was assumed that
the station had been closed tenror-
ariiy by the revolutionists.
Some high military officers WERE
inclined to regard the uprising as
palace revolution" which would not
spread throughout Germany. Recent
reports to them, they said, had in
dicated that the morale of the forces
under Minister of Defense Noske was
good and that the government would
be able to cope with both the mon
archist plots and Spartist discomfort.
The Eberhardtt and Loewenfe1u
marine brigades, which are reported
to have occupied Wilhelmstrasse,
were organized at Kiel and Will
helmshaven early in 1919 and were
brought to Berlin in the spring of
that year to suppress Sparticist vio-
lence. The organizers of the units
were officers of the old regime and
the troops are regarded as extremely

STRIKERS IN FRANCE
TOTAL NEAR 100000
SAYS LABOR REPORT

Paris, Mar 1S.-Nearly 10000 per
sons are on strike in France, according
to estimates made today by officials
of the federation of labor
In the Lyons region several thou
sand hands in the silk mills have gone
out, bringing the number of strikers
there to total of $4,000 in the various
industries.
In the department DuNord, 10000
coal miners have struck in sympathy
with the strike of an equal number in
Pas De Calais, and this development
has strengthened the hope of radicals
among labor leaders that a general
coal strike may be effected.
Strikes of $500 to 5000 building
workers are reported from various re
gions, among them Anglers and Tou-
louise.
The Paris region seems freer from
strikes than most parts of France.
