Along It's winding way:
And nc who shares its labor
With all our fellowmcn.
Ono moment Ia our nciEhbor
And now has moved again.
Come season after season.
Come rain and shine and snow
Swift as to battle reason.
They come, and swiftly CO.
The tree is hardly blooming
Before it's leaves have fed:
Living. the surfs are booming
4 requiem for tht dead.
Life in its cradle sleeping.
Overnight is laid away.
And with the women weeping
Youth shouts aloud ut play:
JOY is so mixed with sorrow
That smiles merge into tears.
Today runs with tomorrow,
And hope is fused with fears
This life is short and ncctinE,

The rose is dead and gone;
And night. ere Dawn dispcl it,

NEW LOW LEVEL
 FOR GERMAN MARK

New York, Oct. 4.-Specuiation in the German mark in the United States since the armistice has reached an unprecedented point, according 10 m ternational bankers here.
 Thousands of persons in all walks of life, hoping to get rich quick, it was stated, have invested heavily in the German currency, which recently collapsed to a. point below one cent for the first time in financial his tory.
 The buying first started in the mid simmer of 1919, when the mark, whose pre-war value was 33.S cents, was selling at "A to cents apiece. New York appeared to be the distrib- uting center. Banks and foreign ex- change houses were flooded with or derS from small investors Small foreign exchange houses sprang pp on prominent cornerssE cigar stores and other business houses began to do a f1ourishing business in the mark.
 While the wave of mark buying was at it's height, peddlers hawked the German paper on the streets and one distributor is known to have made a house to house canvas
 Bankers said this buying continued as the value of the mark declined,

 While bankers are reluctant to dis cuss the probable outcome of these speculadons, they declare, however, that only a readjustment of repara- tions payments, improvement in Ger many's economic situation, or the eX- tension of commercial credits to Ger man manufacturers for raw mater iaIs, will bring about an improvement in the value of marks.
