HARPING ON OLD STRING.

With a persistence worthy OF a bet
ter cause, the Germans are still try
ing TO persuade the rest OF the world
that the responsibility for TIE war
does not rest upon Germany. This
was their attitude from the outset
and they deceived many people who
ought TO have known better into ac-
cepting 1t as justified. But the facts
are too much for them, although they
will not admit 1t. The story has not
been told In full. and it may not be
during the life OF the present genera
ton; but enough IS known 10 demoiish
the German theory.
What do the Germans expect to gain
by persisting in anti-Ally propaganda?
The malls are being flooded with
pamphlets from Germany protesting
German innocence. All the old false
hoods are brought forward again with
a specious air Of innocence. The guilt
Of England is still a favorite theme.
One argument is that she provoked
war TO unity the British Empire, just
"a Prussia did TO unity Germany. We
are told that all the laws Of war and
humanity were violated in the treat
ment OF the German visitors--a singu-
lar charge to come from those who
maintained the prison camps describ-
ed by Ambassador Gerard and Other
impartial witnesses. French intrigue
is another theory to establish Ger
man innocence. Like Richard III ir
the play, Germany does the wrong
and first begins TO brawl.
The Germans will never win bach
the respect of the world by such feeble
attempts to prove a moral alibi. MOI

Watching field and shop and mill.
Looking over me and you,
And the sort Of work we DO.
Searching for the ones she needs
Who shall do her bigger deeds.
Tomorrow's looking for a man.
Best designed to servo her plan,
And she oyerlooks the earth
Seeking him who's proved his worth.
And perhaps when this days through

Tomorrow's hunting eager youth.

Strong men who will carry on
When the faintest hope seems gone
And she's calling them away

And her heart will leap with Joy

Ready for a bigger place.
