From billow to bounding billow cast,
like fleecy snow the stormy blast.
THE sails are scattered abroad Ike weeds
The strong mastS shake like quiverlng reeasS
The mighty cables and iron chains,
The hull which all earthly strength dlsdains,
The strain and they crack; and hearts ike stons
Their natural hard proud strength disoWn'

Prom the base OF the wave to the biloWs croWh
And amidst the flashing feathery toam'
The stormy petrol finds home
A home, If such place may be
For her who lives on the wide, VIDE sea,
on the craggy ice In the frozen air
And only seeketh her rocky lair
To warm her young and teach them 10 spring
AT once DER the on their stormy wing!
Ger the deep!--oer deepl a. -,
Where the whale and the shark ana the SWoEash SAeep
Outlying the blast and the driving rain,
The petrol telleth her tae-in vain;
For the mariner curseth the warning bird
Which bringeth him news OF the storm unhearal
Ali thus does the prophet, OF good or III,
Meet hate from the creatures he serVeth sull

Nazi Orators Begin
Pep Talks as Home
Food Supply Falls
Hitler Poper Lectures
GrumbIers; Depressed
Masses Foce BIeok YuIe
BY EDWIN SHANKE,


Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
STOCKHOLM. Dec. 23.-With
Germany's food rations generally
lower than last year and the war
news bad, Propaganda Minister
Paul Joseph Goebbels is reported to
have modified hundreds of Nazi
orators to deliver nationwide Sc
ries of pep talks" to the German
public
Advices from Germany indicate a
program OF mass meetings already
is under way, with Goebbels and
DR.. Robert Ley, labor leader, setting
the pace.
Coincidentally the German press
has begun wide-scale morale
boosting offensive, hammering home
the theme that Axis setbacks in
North Africa are unimportant be-
cause the war will be decided in
Russia.
No war has yet been fought
without Setbacks," said one edito-
rial, assuring its readers that the
United Nations still are weak for
battle on the field where the de-
cision will fall"
Russians to Be Wiped Out"
Adolf Hitlers newspaper, the
Voelkischer Beobachter, declared
the objective properly was Europe,
not Africa. and that after Russian
resistance is wiped out we will soon
regain on the southern front what
we had to give up"
The Beobachter also lectured
Germans who grumbled about the
scarcity of food and clothes, re-
minding civilians that their sacri-
f1ces were small compared to those
of the soldier who is called on to
give his blood for the homeland. j"
Dispatches from Swedish CORE
spondents, however, depicted a
