Y.M.C.A.HEARS1 FAMOUS POET ON PATRIOTISM Edwin Markham Speaks at Liberty Hut with Quo tations from Poems. TW poet u an asset In the arena of war where ha d#hts the idealistic bal nea of democracy with pea instead of ,war4. was defended and explained yesterday afternoon by America's best loved bard.

"is as much a pari of life aa science or anything else needful for our ex ' wtence. It will nevsr die and even in these timas no one need ever apolo gize for the maker of verse." Describing poesy as one of the great spiritual forces of the world and sn ever-burning "candle on the altar of freedo*." ?f needs be. the speaker id n was the province of the poet to ? look through the husk and shell or things and find the eternal realities behind them." ?WKon the eye of the bard looks upon the flag." he stated later, "he sees It in Its ideal significance." Some of the more patriotic poems of the speaker were read by Mr. Mark ham. notably "Lincoln, the Man of the People.' a sort of simile In verse comparing the attributes of the great emancipator with the grand and out standing verities of natural phenom f?a. and "France." a ringing and salu tatory efTort done out of appreciation for that country, beginning. "France, who has caught the idealism of the world." Before launching his verses yester day. Mr. Markham paid tribute to Lin coln in the prose of speech: Trlfcate to Ltaeola. "I do not love him." said the poet referring to the melancholy states man. "because he was President of the United States. I love him becausc he had in him the genius of true pa triotism. that devotion to the people which empowered him to support the causes of the public welfare and pub lie good ' Our mission in the world. Mr. Mark ham said, might be summed up In "doing good." Children, he stated, should not be taught to live a life of worldly acquirement, but fundamen tally to "serve the world through acts of goodness." It was announced at yesterday's meeting in the Liberty Hut that the edifice will be formally dedicated to it* present tasks under the auspices of the T. M. C.

SHELLING PRESAGES NEW ENEMY DRIVE, HIS THIRD EFFORT imrnKCKD from page osk tn the chancellories of the Allied missions and embassies. Is so im prudent as to believe that the morale of either people will break and fall down at these single trum pet blasts. But. they say. the es -eatial truth of the two publica tions is so powerful that the Teu ton peoples, aooner or later, will be compelled by their consciences to accept them. That time will come, diplomats predict, when the Teuton peoples teslize that their arms can not pre vail. As long as the scent of pos sible victory on the battlefield can Ire kept before them, either by Wangling the conquered eastern i mpire or magnifying the little western gains, it is predicted that the Teuton peoples will follow the trail, bloody though it be. to the bitter end. It is even believed that lacing defeat?with the backs of their armies to the wall?the Teu ton peoples will resist gsllantlv. la Trlampb of Victory. But sooner or later, after ever re newed sacrifices of men and treasure hs\e failed to bring peace, the Teuton peoples are bound to ask "What are we righting for?" and the Lichnowsky and riemenceau disclosures will be the answer. This is the view expressed here yes terday by a veteran diplomat and statesman who has seen half a dozen wars and a score of international crises develop and pass. This man says: 'Remember these things: Germany today Is In a riotous triumph of victory. Vast conquests on tho east are under her flag. You ?nay be sure thit the gains of the ? Jerman srmy on the west front have been compared with our advance on the Somme two years ago. and with the battle of Cambral last year, over which we so rejoiced. Naturally tho Germans are now confident. "Also remember that the Teuton leaders by the vehemence of their vituperatlvo denunciation have mini mised at home tho effect of the letter of Emperor Karl. Likewise they may be expected to discredit the Lich nowsky memorandum. Probably little of its actual content will become widely known In Germany. "The prince?and we who know him all esteem him most highly?is al leady subject to brutal attacks upon his character. He has been stripped of his honors, and the demand made that he be stripped of his constitu tional immunity in order that he may i?e prosecuted for treason. Of course the German people and the Austrian people are going to believe all this. "But then also remember that the essence of a people s morals Is confi dence In the Integrity and ability or their leaders. The time Is going to ?ome when the Teuton peoples, find ing all the world arrayed against them ?nd their armies making no progress toward a German peace, are going to ?iueatton the ability of their leaders. At the same time the question of their integrity will arise. It is then and only then that we may expect the hearts of these people to break " Thsre is everywhere the fullest dis position to accept the memorandum of laichnowsky at its face value fHAT STUBBORN ^ COUGH OR COLD Pv not INiotly yield to orHi., KUAN'S ALTERATIVE ? ate. s?, WI ??* o n.,,, and Otto.

GERMANS FIND O-BOAT CREWS HARD TO GET Men Realize Work on Sub marines Constantly Be comes More Dangerous. Increased use by the allied fighting ships of submarine detectors and new devices for combatting the U-boats has almost shattered the morale of the German seamen in the submarine serv ice, according to advices received from United States agents abroad. Great difficulty is being experienced by the German admiralty in persuad ing seamen to continue in the eervico or to enlist men to take the places or those 'ost in the last six months. Information from German sources bears out the predictions by the United States officials that the U-boat would be driven from the seas by July 1. a prediction echoed recently by British officials who stated that new Inven tions would rid the Atlantic of the undersea craft by August 1. It is known that the recent state ment of Vice Admiral Von Cappelle of the German admiralty that the U boat campaign was steadily gaining strength and that new vessels were being launched faster than the allied fleets could destroy them, was made la answer to a growing belief In the Ger man Reichstag that the Kaiser's sub marine policy was the crowning blun der of his war against the world. Some members of the Reichstag have openly declared that Von Cappelle was concealing the truth and have sought to create a sentiment of dis approval which would result m the defeat of the new naval appropriation bill recently sent to the Reichstag. The efforts of German politicians to discredit the statements of Von Cap pelle have resulted in a widespread be lief that service in the U-boat is ten times as hazardous today as it was ten months ago. Despite the liDeral use of imperial awards and decora ; tlons, the German undersea sailors I have demanded many privileges which they never dared ask a year ago. They are given much longer periods of rest ! ashore than are accorded to men in ! any other service, and have won in jcrcased pay through a bonus system. LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE NEEDS MORE HELP TO SCORE VICTORY OONTIMED FKOM FAGE ONE. lumbus will be at headquarters of the liberty loan committee, 1418 H utreet. each day and communications should be addressed to him there. Now that the half-way mark in the campaign has been passed, the most noteworthy feature of the drive, it is said, has been the re sponse from the rural districts. The farmers of the nation have made up completely for any lack of co-opera tion they might have showed in the two preceding campaigns. The big cities, though, have lagged thus far and the department is disappointed in the showings made by them. While no official report on the aggregate of the loan was forth coming from the Treasury Depart ment, the Minneapolis district wir ed th.*t it had exceeded its quota. This was deemed "some'* feat, in aa much as the selling campaign there has been in progress only six j days. Montana and North Dakota I are over their quotas, and South | Dakota was reported to have achieved its minimum allotment of | $22.00^.000. Minnesota, outside of Minneapolis.

Northern Wisconsin and northern Michigan report $8,000,000 each In sub scriptions with citizens of German descent buying heavily. The Min j neapolis Federal Reserve Bank re j ports that ??subscriptions from farm i i i s are astounding." j The Atlanta district turned in some ' t.hcering news when it wired that 100 towns and communities have already oversubscribed. This indicates the district, which has occupied the cel lar position since the campaign open ed, is awake. More than JUO.OOO.OC* has been sub scribed in the Cleveland district, of which approximately $2*>.noo.ono came from the city of Cleveland. The Chicago district is goinz after the greatest number of individual subscribers and already has netted more than 1,000.000. Liberty loan sermons were preached from pulpits in every part of the na tion yesterday, in response to the ap peal to churches made by Secretary McAdoo.

I christian Selene* la not a diaeovary of a new truth, hot a new di/covery of an old truth. Dr. Francis J. Fluno. C. S. D., member of the board of lectureship of the Mother Church, tt.% \ First Church of Christ Scientist, in jBoston. declared n a lecture on Chrts ' tlan Science delivered yesterday at Poll's Theater. EiplalM Orlfla The average man. the lecturer said, until awakened by truth In divine science, Is mainly In his swaddling clothes and his horison is marked by the ace in which he lives. If any thing new comes to him he la apt to deem It aome Instance of fooliah In ? consistency, "some Infringement upon the Scripture, or some new attempt of the evil one to win him from his God." "Christian Scianoe is not a discovery of a new truth, but a new discovery of I an old truth. It Is as new aa the to i fant thought, and aa old as 'the An | cient of days.' It waa before Jesus i was born In Bethlehem. Before Abra ! ham was. was Christian Science. "Christian Science is the law of di vine principle, and is therefore the science of sciences, the religion of re ligions and the church of all churchea. It Is not the gleanings from ?very other region It Includes and com prehends the whole of being; hence, | every other religion will be found to be gleanings from divine Science, and must eventually gravitate back to the one scientific fact of a perfect God ? and a pcrfect creation as the basis of every conclusion. What primarily was true, will always be true; is all that is true, or even will be true. Christian Science makes do unreas onable claims upon the modern world; j its claims are based upon the spirit I of love, and this Is reflected in health. ! kindness, charity, and good will to all. It takes nothing from the world, but gives all to the world. I "Christian Science not only heals mortals of sickness, but It corrects | the world of auch a thing as glck - r.ess. It only heals Individuals of sin and iniquity, but It corrects the world of such a thing as sin and iniquity. I Christian Science takes the world where it finda It, and raisea the lower to the higher, and the higher still : higher. It ialses the unreliable to reliability, and the reliable and trust worthy to a slat*4 of reliance and trustworthiness that Is born of rrin- j ciple and j>ermanency. Aids Mentality. "Christian Science lifts the men tally unbalanced and Insane to san ity end mental balance; and the i well-halarced and Fane it lifts to a standard of sanity and equilibrium of mind that can no more fail and be lost than God Himself could be i lost; for God In Christian Science Is | j found to be Mind, the only true ' Mind. "Christian Science, unlike every j other religion, admits of no error {either In premise or conclusion.; 'God end His creation always were perfect, are. now, and forever will | be. Christian Science comes to this j material age and throws the X-ray I of spiritual and scientific under-, standing upon all material things. 1 revealing them to be merely mortal I thoughts which have no more exis i tence or reality than the horiaon ! that is seen over the mountain. And .with the elimination of all these things necessarily vanish all their j concomitants, sickness, disease and ! sin, mortality and des'.'i; and every j thing that in any way limits or I seems to limit everlasting Life, or is opposed to God and His perfect (spiritual creation. "Christian Science Is not essentially i iconoclasm. It does not break images, j tear down altars, and break up churches, clans and societies; neither | does It use the old as a foundation jupon which to construct the new. It ' educates out of the old Into the new; out of the lower into the higher, out of the false Into the true. The Science of Truth, like the garment of Christ. Is a seamless robe, woven throughout from top to bottom, com plete in itself. Nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it; and nothing can be true that is not In cluded in it. Tt does all for mankind, because it is all and Includes all: In it mankind and the world will find all their needs supplied and all their real desires fulfilled. Points Oat Krrara. "Christian Science shows that the error of the ages is in having two powers, one of good and the other of evil; and thla belief beclouds the ey* of reason, shuts out the true sense of being, and rofcs man of his God-given inheritance. "When man begins to see himself aa a child of God. a child of spirit rather than a child of the dust, then he begins to take possession of himself in the name of Almighty God, and to claim his birthright of health, happi ness. harmony, and immortality. "?'hristian Science, ever loving, ever get.tic, and ever kind, will never take away one single thing that you ho!?l dear without returning more than r took away, and that which you lov? _ better. While It repudiates and d< stroy8 altogether that heavenly place which is not a place but only a mortal belief, yet it gives you a heaven, a heaven that is near at hand. "Christian Science shows thn* the er ror of the ages is in having two pow ers. one of good and the other evil, and this belief beclouds. the eye of reason, shuts out the true understand ing of life, and seemingly robs man of his God-given Inheritance. As time goea on and the great facts of eternal life aa taught in Christian Science, the Science of Life, are bet ter understood and demonstrated, the name of Mary Baker Eddy, the dis coverer and founder of Christian Sci ence, and the author of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." will stand out in the world's great history like a star of the first magni tude; and she herself will be honored i and loved for what she has done for ? | mankind and for the woifd.
