My Treasure Chest

I've gathered up those dearer
things
With which I would not part,
And laid them carefully away
Yet close beside my heart:
Those things on which Time has
no lien.
Tho things I love the best.
Tho priceless things moro dear
than life
These are my treasure chest
Ny conndencs In fellow manes
And my belief In God;
The heritage of my old home
Deep rooted in the sod:
Ny rosary of SORROW,
Ny beatitude Of tears:
Tho glory OF my mothers love
Stfn shining through tho ycars.
The fuIlnees of the summer noon.
Tho DER flowing harvest horn.
Tho Wilderness Of q winter night.
Tho flowers OF April's morn:
The soul that turks within a song.
The faith within a child.
The beauty that all nature holds
For one who loves the wild:
Mere wisdom eve can replace
Illusions fair Of youth,
And yet these things I've boarded
up
And wrapped about with Truth
Arc recompense for all the days;
They'll stand tina final test
OF the nt and the eternal.

TOXIC. March 27-F'ire, which for a time imperiIed the entire city of Tokio, last night destroyed thousand houses in the northwest part of the city, in iured 133 persons, made thousands homeless and caused a loss estimated at about 2,500,000. Included in the property destroyed were three hospit- als. a bank and several large business houses.
 For four hours a violent wind drove the flames for the heart of the city, causing a panic Four thousand troops aided the firemen, but it was only when sthe wind let down that their eff forts succeeded.
 Scenes of terror were witnessed in many sections. Streets were choked with despairing refugees from the dis tricts stricken, accompanied by carts loaded with furniture, the confusion being increased by sightseers. Many of the half frozen fugitives bore in- fants. Mounted troops had great diff culty in restraining incipient panics.
 The imperial gardens were opened to the sufferers.
 The fire burned so fiercely and with such brightness that the skies were illuminated by a fiery halo visible for hundreds of miles.
 The diet adjourned when the threat ening nature of the fire was reported.
 The fire. which occurred in the Yot- sura district, was the worst that TolSio has experienced in more than decade,

NEW YORK, March 27-Demonstra : tions and misses at the mention of Woodrow Wilson and former Secretary of State Colby, marked a debate to- night between Senator J. l. France of Maryland and Senator William King of Utah on changing the American policy toward Russia.
 Further disorder occurred when the audience, believing 8 vote was to be taken after the debate was informed that through a misunderstanding this would not be done.
 At adjournment many persons rushed to the platform to threaten Rabbi Jo- seph Silverman who declared such a vote would be American in face of the governments stand. He charged that the meeting was packed and per sons in the audience were heard to say socialistic newspapers had urged their readers to attend.
 Senator King, after many interrup- tion during which the former presi- dents name was hissed and booed, de- nounced many of his hearers as being ''bolshevit'' and recommended lessons in Amerlcanism for them. Senator France advocated a change of policy, including throwing open the doors for trade wsah RussTe.

 Form Alliance For
 Mutual Protection
IRepublican A. P.-Leased Wlre]

WASHINGTON. March 27.--France and Poland in their agreement con- cluded February 19 pledge themselves to concerted action for defense in case either country is attacked without provocation, according to a summary of the pact received today in official circles.
 The agreement also provides for mu- tual assistance in the economic res toration ofsthe two countries.
 Both countries promised to act in close agreement on all questions af- fecting their internal affairs and each agreed to consult the other before con- cluding new agreements concerning their policies in continental and east ern Europe.
 Arrangement is made for determin- ing the terms of the economic features of the agreement later.
 Officials here who have examined the summary are understood to regard it as the most intimate alliance con- cluded between any two powers since the armistice. and of such a character as to unite the destinies of France and Poland for long time on the Euro pean continent.
 France would be expected, it was said here, to support the Polish claims to Upper Silesia. and would also be obliged to lend support to Poland ir case of a hnishevist attack.

IRepubIlcan A Leased wire1

DUBLIN. March 27.-Reports made to the authorities in connection with the capture of the arms and ammuni- ton found by government forces in Dublin last Friday show that the mu- nitions had been landed on the coast of Kerry in fish barrels. They were then taken to Sligo by train and motor cars, reaching there Tuesday night and arriving here the next morning. The bombs and shells were packed in boxes addressed to an English firm.
 This sfirm, it is explained, had no knowledge of the shipment, and the goods never reached it, being inter cepted, according to officials. by Sim Fein agents and taken to the stables where the materials were discovered.
 The munitions, it is declared. were intended for use in connection with a plan to ambush crown forces on their way to relieve the guard at Mount Joy jail Easter Monday. and if this proved successful, it was intended, authorities declare. to attack the prison in the hope of rescuing Sim F'ein prisoners.
 Authorities declare that great as sistance to the crown forces is being rendered by the inhabitants in various localities.

BERLIN, March 27.-Belief that inn mediate danger of a coordinate gen el al strike in the central German ln- dustrial regions and it's speed to other sections has been temporarily banished is expressed by government leaders They take this view because of the Easter holidays. Faith is pinned to the ability of 50tc Prassian security police to stamp out lawleesness in open stretches of country.
 Many of these districts were up to last night firmly in the grip of bands of communists. who are leaving dyna- mited buildings and railroad bridges and footed shops. Reports were re- ce;ved that the rioters were fortifying themselves in hilly districts.
 Eisleben Mansfield and Dellasted are guarded by security and local po- lice. The situation at Leuna has not been cleared. The big nitrogen plant has been made headquarters for the communists.
 Government officials appear conf dent that workingmen will reject the idea of a general strike. Identity oi the men directing the peasant move ment has not been established. The radical publication, The Red Flag printed last night a manifesto demand ing that workers strike in support of the revoltinS central regions. The COuI tiiOQSe at M diiSltlu 6liu lilt way at Hettstedt have been wrecked by dynamite, but advices indicate tha the communists suffered heavily il clashes with the security police.

 Communist outbreaks in German in dustrial centers are viewed by the gov. ernment as symptom of a systepati, plot, the inspiration of which is trace able to Moscow, and whose single ob ject is the establishment of a German soviet republic. a government spokes man declared today.

POLICE CONTROL
 TROUBLED SAXON CITIES AGAINST I 'RED' UPR|S|NGS
TRepubIican A. p. Leased w,re1

HALLE. March 27. - Battalions of green police" today were in control in a majority of the troubled Saxon cities, from which most of the male population had fled either in fear of arrest or in an effort to join their fugitive comrades, but another attack in some quarters is considered prob able Tuesday.
 Police authorities, however, believe that the movement has been checked. Sporadic uprisings continue here and in Eisleben, Mansfield, Hettstedt and other important mining and manufac- turing centers.
 Count Poninski, colonel of police in the Mansfield district, said today:
 "The situation is in hand; the up- rising has virtually been suppressed"
 As he talked he was surrounded by officers and studying a map The cor respondent had just come from Mans field, which he entered with several hundred police, all equipped with rifles, revolvers and hand grenades and fol- lowed by field kitchens and army trucks carrying machine guns. Prisoners taken at Eettstedt were marched with hands upraised through the villages, between companies of police. When Mansfield was reached ragged. unlSempt communists were or dered to stand facing the wall of the city hall. Fifteen stood there two hours.
 Residents were ordered not to ap- pear at windows and police with rifles were sent to street corners. One po- hceman walked to the corner of a street crowded with women and chil- dren and cried: Clear the street" He then fired over their heads. The street was vacated within a minute. Orders were posted in Mansfield Hettstedt and Klostermansfeld that any citizen appearing in the streets after six o'clock weuld be shot and citizens must not be seen at the win dows.
 Although isolated outbursts are re- ported from Eisleben and Hettstedt and a few grenades were thrown here some of the communists chief activi- i ties were shifted to Bitterfield, where
 workmen mounted machine guns or the station platform and searched al passengers.
