 Forgive the American people, we pray Thee, their boasting, their self ishness. their faith in the impregnable might of those who have corn, cattle and cotton in abundance. and all their other spiritual indecencies. May our delegates walk with the humblest. and seek the peace. the prosperity and the happiness of America only in the benefit of all races and nations.

HOW scHLEY SAVED LoRENz

Admiral Schley once saved the life of Dr. Adolf Torenz the noted Vienna surgeon who recently nounced his intention to America to express his appreciation of American relief work among the children of Vienna It about in this way: On his second visit this country 1903 pr. Torenz took steamer that called at Vera Cruz. He disernbarked and went sightseeing It was terribly hot and the food beyond his powers of digestion Ill already, took to drinking the national beverage puloue which only aggravated his distress
 Feeling that death was imminent unless he could get into the United States he hurried back to Vera Cruz to the first train north. As he stood the station platform he introduced to Admiral Schley to whom he told his troubles. The admiral said: T have no flagship. but if you'll join me in my private car, where have plenty of mineral water and good things eat it will give me pleasure to feed you back health" Dr. Lorenz accepted his offer, and due time operating on crippled ch- dren in New Orleans.
 The eminent surgeon tells the story now in one of the Vienna papers under the caption of Rescue of a Shipwrecked Man by the U. S. NJ He makes the point just he personally saved from death by an American. then his country be saved by America now not at alL Dr. Lorenz remarks that once a journey from Vienna New York was cacl1- lated on basis space divided by velocity. now is computed the principle of money multiplied bv money. He asserts that Viennese can think of a visit to this country unless he has million kroner at his disposal

That Mankind Should Be Free

With smile upon their lips, And jest upon their tongue, They bade us each a last farewell, And to their duty sprung. In pulsing life they went away From homes of peace and ease, Tc scenes of carnage. blood and strife. Across the deadly seas There. gasping, Liberty then lay In Ambitious fell embrace, The precious jewels that she wears Might sought to efface. Freedoms far-flung battle line
 Moved backward day by day; The rushing Hun grew haughtier. And in triumph swept his way. England's back was 'gainst the wall, Frances body bled to white, Italian courage spent its force,
 But still kept up the fight. Dark and darker grew each hour. As closer pressed the foe O, God of Hosts! Be with us nov Avert the awful blow. Suddenly. where Thierry's towers
 Rise majestically in air. A starry banner was unfurled.
 Sending courage everywhere. Back, the halted foe was drive
 Across the Marne once more. Never again his foot to trespass
 On it's fateful shore. From Belleau Wood and Saint Mihiel To the Argonne's rocky bed. Everywhere that banner shone
 The German turned and fled. Until at last no vandal foot
 Stood on that ravished plain: The conquered foe laid down his arms. And peace reigned once again. Then they brought them back to us,
 Their armor laid aside, And as we grasped them by the hand We felt a thrilling pride A pride in their achievement
 Fulfillment of our trust! For autocracys ambition
 Had been leveled with the dust. What homage can we show to them
 What honors now bestowr Entwine the laurel round their brow.
 And let each soldier know That in all the future ages when
 sire cites valor to his son, He will read from history's pages
 Of the victory they won- And some there were who ne'er returned
 To home-fires burning bright But on the fields of France remained.
 Beneath the stars at night The fleur-de-lis was kind to them,
 And sheltered well their grave. But now we claim wars richest spoil
 The ashes of our brave" Home. to the sunshine of their land.
 Free from all earthly toil. We tenderly lay them now away
 Beneath their native soil. While through our tears and sorrow
 This epitaph we see: They died on fields of glory
 That mankind should be free. ~o.of.,v

Three years since the of the cannon ended,
 Three since the altars red And the glory of the youth and manhood splendid Was laid in windrows of mangled dead; Three brie swift years sought for, When not tremble to greet the dawn Yet what have gained of the aims we fought for If the old grim spirit of lives on? Three years-yet the Statesmen" mouth and humble Of national honor" and righteous might" And the hammers clang and the steel rolls rumble On and by day and night Ten million slaughtered at Armageddon
 Yet under the burden of arms we bow, And these the phrases still are fed on,
 'Disarm? We'll maybe-but not just now!" Great God! hoy long must spend in learning
 How long must quibble and pause and prate Ere we win to the goal of the whole worlds yearning And rage this structure of wrath and hate? How long shall the sordd and ambitions
 Of purblind blunderers bind us fast? How long shall 3ingoes and politicians
 Speak in voice of the sullen Past? Three years since the screaming shells went archng Into the sky; the guns dumb, Vet we hear the tramp of the armies marching,
 And the navy yards and the gun-shops hum shall we harx to the old the new, voices
 Shall be build for conflict bid it cease? If is ours to say what final choice is.
