"Secret Enemy."
In 1908, when the revolutionary
Turkish government wna for freedom,
Owrnuuty opposed It; when It heainie
tyrannical Germany made thin govern
ment Iti ally. The Uermitn govern
ment harassed France not merely be
cause It was Its ancient enemy, hut
hecHiise Its success as a republic made
the French people perilous to princes.
The German government plotted to re
store the Manchu Emperor and the
Russian Tear to their thrones.
Because the American people by Its
prosperity and power made liberty
desired by all the world the German
government has been Its secret enemy.
Thirty years ago It plotted against out
treaty rights In Samoa; It Bent Its
fleet to worry and threaten Dewey
at Manila In 18U6; It offered to Eng
land, which refused, to overturn the
Monroe lhictrlne in Mexico. It has In
fifteen years threatened Veneiuela,
Mexico, Haytl and other American
states. When we were maintaining
peaee under great provocation, It pro
putted to Mexico and Japan to attack
us, both refusing. It betrayed Inter
national faith In the dispatches sent
through the Swedish Minister. It filled
our laud with spies, sought unavnlllng
ly to embroil us with those of German
hlrth resident In this country, slaugh
tered our citizens on the high seas,
contrary to alt law, national and later
national, human and divine.
"Bore Much."
We waited long, we bore much, and
we are now sending our sons to the
war declared ngnlnst the "Imperial
Germnn Government" becnusc the rec

liberty nor democratic institutions are

after what Belgium suffered, to fight

THE HOUR OF PR AYER,
There's an hour thai comes like u healing halm,
When evening shades are falling,
And we lay our cares at the Saviour's feel,
His gill of grace recalling.
'Tis ihe hour of prayer that renews our strength,
Mukes Christian duty clearer,
'Tis the hour of prayer and its power lh.it draws
Our heav'nly home still nearer.
'Tis the prayer of faith that dispels our clouds
Gives joy beyond expression,
For ii fills our hearts and ii crowns our lives,
With all that's worth possessing.
Lovingly now, fervently how, welcome this hour
Of holy calm so sweet;
Lovingly now, fervently bow,
Breathing the prayer of faith at Jesus feet.
THE HARP
If you lived where I live, where every vagrant breeze
Plays melodies harmonious, a-sweeping through the trees,
You'd get up in ihe morning with
If you lived where I lived,
Beneath ihe Harp o' Trees.
The river flows, a silver band between the verdant hills
Thai sing their owji big open song, the music of ihe rills;
And all the things thai grow there nod a welcome to the breeze
That sings its song triumphant in the wondrous Harp o' Trees.
The Harp o' Trees, the Harp o' Trees,
O music of my soul !
The swift cadenzas rippling and
The broader songs that roll
In thickening waves of sheer delight,
Thai life a mighty voice
And bid mankind to leave his cares,
And bid mankind rejoice !
If you slept where I sleep, the murmuring of ihe leas
With zephyrs whispering through ihem like echoes from the seas,
Would rock you off to Dreamland with its sacred harmonies,
If you slept where 1 sleep,
Beneath the Harp o' Trees !
If you loved as I love, the things that God haih given
To comfort us and solace us, these little bits of heaven,
You loo, would sing as I must sing, such rhapsodies as these
In gratitude for respite by the singing Harp o' Trees !

GERMAN PAPERS
National Security League Starts
Crusade for Their Elimination,
Together With the Teach
ing of German.
A vigorous campaign to hrluif about
tho elimination of the tearliluK of Ger
man In tlio puMIc firliooli of (he coun
try and to ohtnlu tlie (llacuntlnuaucu
of ttie Dul'llcatlon of newfnmpwr print
ed In German has been launched by
the National Kccurlty League, To or
ganize lit effort for theae ends the
league haa formed a Committee on
Foreign Language nnd Foreign 1'resH,
which wilt carry the tight Inlo every
nook nnd corner of the United Mlatee.
The Committee Is composed of Col.
Charles K. Lydecker, member of the
Board of Trustees of the College of
the City of New York and Chairman
of the National Security Li'ugue's
Hoard of Directors; Edward II. Clark,
Treasurer of the Security League;
Krnest C. llrown, well known New
York editor and puMlaher, and Dr.
Itobert M. McKlroy, Kducatlonal direc
tor of the National Security League
under leave of absence from Princeton
University, where he Is head of the
Department of History and I'ollUci.
Stop Advertising.
The principal heels of tho Commit
tee's campaign ugalnst Uerman news
papers will bo the obtaining of the dis
continuance of advertising In them.
Col. Lydecker's committee hue laid
the following plan of campaign before
the Chairmen and Secretaries of all
the 261 branches ot the Security
League :
"There Is no Immediate need to
have laws enacted to suppress the
foreign language dallies. In towns
where there Is a strong patriotic senU
ment a hostile minority should be per
suadod by a cteur and forceful eipres
slon of the views of the majority Uiat
ours must be, from this Ume forward,
A one language nation.
" Our Mistake."
"If a community will not support a
newsdealer who handles the dally pa
pers printed In foreign tongues It can
thereby force him to deal only In Eng
lish language papers.
"Recognising a general willingness
to be patriotic and the rapid acqui
escence from many quarters to compel
the use of English dallies, we urge
reasonably nctlve measures on the part
of the branches of the Iengue. Jus
tice requires this, for the fault does
not He wholly with the alien. We have
failed hitherto to provide the machin
ery of education which the welding
process required. We have couute
nuueed and even encouraged the Idea
of preserving llnqulstlc and racial
groups In our midst. At last we site
our mistake, and we must correct It aa
Bpeedlly as justice will allow.
"But we must not forget, and we
must not allow nllen enemies to for
get, that this Is a time ot war. Quick
processes of producing unity nre Justi
fied by tho peril of those Institutions
which we hold In trust for ell human
It. Newsdealers.
MWe therefore suggest :
"(a) Meetings of cltUeni to express
ft one langungo sentiment.
"(b) Discontinuance ot all advertis
ing In papers printed In the tongues of
enemy nations.
"(c) Procuring co-operation of new
dealers." WOULD INORIAtl THI
