casualty lists follow the news of victory.
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:
Btu O heart ! heart ! heart !
O the bleeding drops of red.
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
Rise up for you the flag is flung for you the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths for you the shores a-crowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning:
Here Captain! dear Captain!
This arm beneath your head ;
It is some dream that on the deck.
You've fallen cold and dead.
My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still ;
My Captain does not fee! my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage closed and done;
From fearful trip, the victor ship comes in with object won :
Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells!
But I, with mournful tread,
Walk the deck, my Captain lies,

LIKE A DISCARDED SHOE
United Press correspondence from Strassburg says the Germans
don't want to have anything to do with the former kaiser. They are
glad to pass him off to the Dutch, and hope he will stay there, judg
ing from what they say in Strassburg.
The United Press correspondent mentioned possibility of the
Hohenzollern's return to a group of German officers. Their opinion
was unanimous.
' The ex-kaiser is 'kaput' and he'd better stay where he is. lie
will not keep his head long if he crosses the border into Germany
again."
Alsatians who have been in the German army felt that the Ger
mans were disliked on account of the former kaiser. The attitude
toward the Ilohenzollern family has changed materially in the last
month.
Formerly Germans would invariably tell you the kaiser was not
to blame, but rather the military party. Now the feelinsr seems to
have turned entirely against the Hohenzollerns.
William is forsaken by the Germans, either for the effect it has
on the world, or for sincerer reasons. The order of the day is to hold
democratic demonstrations and declare republics on the steps of the
erstwhile emperor's palaces.
AND SOME PEOPLE WOULD KILL THEM OFF
Do you love dogs? If you do you will be interested in the fol
lowing, published by the Manhattan Guardian :
"An official report has now been issued on the exploits of the
British war dogs at the front. Hitherto, nothing has been known
about them except the occasional appearance in the war films of
some shaggy dog rushing desperately across a piece of shell-scarred
country.
The corps of messenger dogs was the creation of Colonel Rich
ardson, the widely-known advocate of the use of dogs in war and in
police work. The dogs were trained at a war office school of in-
Don't be discouraged because there are times in your life when
you feel that you are losing your keenness, your ability to overcome
obstacles, your conhdence m yourself to master circumstances.
All men have the same periods of depression.
What you want to fight is letting depression get the mastery.
Don t dwell on it, don t strengthen it by thinking about it so
much tins occasional or increasing loss of pep.
Looking ahead with foreboding and imagining you have lost !
your grip loosens the little grip you may have.
There is grave danger in this line of thought.
Get up get out do something which will change the current
of your thoughts into wholesome channels.
Laugh, sing, play with the kiddies as if you were one of them.
W alk briskly into the woods or along a country road.
Breathe the fresh air somewhere in the open of God's country
and thank God that you are an American that will help you.
Convince yourself that you are as capable as any man by dis
missing the thoughts to the contrary, and take heart ; you are not a
dead one till you are under the sod.

HELPING THE ARMENIAN-SYRIANS
IN MEMORY OF THE BOYS
In memory of the Tuscania and Otranto victims, the American
Red Cross has begun erection of a sixty-foot stone monument on the
rocky promotory, called the Moll of Os, at Isle of Islay, Scotland.
The memorial will face the scenes of both disasters. It also will
look down upon seven graveyards in which victims from the two
ships are buried.
It will cost between $G0,000 and $70,000.

he says, "God bless Wilson and give him wisdom," he certainly

cooties and a volcano. Richmond News-Leader.
It is said that the former crown prince of Germany spends most
