York Times, Nov. Is, 1921.
BY Cora Hardy Jarrett.
Open the door of their kennels.
And whistle them forth - die,
The silent old sea-mastiffs
Dark in their docks that lie
There's many seaman's BOSOM
viii heave with sobbing breath
When the giant gray sea-mastiFs
Steam out TO drink their death.
So we called to their keepers.
And we stood and watched them
drown;
logged and dour and silent,
Our dogs of the sea went down,
Died for a word and a vision,
while the wise ones prattled of
peace,
And the keen ones sketched new
dreadnoughts
When the ten years truce should
cease.
Hearts of men, ye are shifting
As the shifting sand that blows.
But the deep drowned heart of iron
Is steadfast to what it knows;
The deep drowned old sea-mastiffs
Had still watch to keep
Against the day of newborn fray,
Shaking the peaceful deep.
When the fleet went steaming sea-
ward,
And the other fleet drew in,
Twp grim half-moons of battle
In a morning-t twilight thin,
IRE ever gun had spoken,
Wen heard a seaman shout,
And-those gray points that prick the
wave,
Are they masts and tunnels, or do We
rave?
They rise, they loom-from its resting
grave
The Phantom Fleet rides out.
Up from the floor of ocean,
Gray with her ancient slime,
Dripping arose the dreadnoughts,
The monsters of their time;
Rolling brine from their scuppers,
Rocked by an unseen swell,
They hailed the younger squadrons,
Foeman and friend as we'll.
We bowed our heads to the ocean,
We drank her bitter brine;
We went to our death unconquered,
Mighty ships of the line;
We had carried our lives like banners,
But gladly we laid them down,
All for a word and vision
And an end that Peace should crown.
"Will we make Of us mocking?
Shall We have died for naught,
When we yelled our heads with the
waters
And gave up the fight unfought?
We are the Phantom Squadron
With the barnacles on our rails,
And when we rise 10 battle,
BY God, we shall turn your tails!"
The wise ones tell of parleys
BY which the fight was stayed,
Hut ask the frightened gunners
That chung to the rails and prayed!
Courage was there and guns to spare,
For foes OF mortal breath,
bui who can fight with squadron
That has broken the doors Of death?
So one fleet faded eastward,
And one feet faded west,
And the wise ones told the story
In the words that pleased them best
But the seaman know-and they tell
it So
That when mems hearts were hot
TIE old sea-dogs the danger heard,
Inc drowned sea-mastiffs walked and
stirred,
And rose to war for the warriors word
And the Peace that men forgot.

bonus bill is based on simple JUS
tice and will not and cannot be
downed." Robert Bettman. chair
man OF the American Legion legis-
lative committee, told President

pared statement TO the President in

procedure" OF the President in ask
ing the Senate to defer action on the

quiring that all garbage be drained

pared and considered by the board.

questing City Council to enact II as

eral agreement between city off,
cials and the engineers Of the Nye

the new city crematory would be
seriously damaged II wet garbage is

bers OF the board also feel that the

proved by the board at that time
