Close to her hi east the mother

The ruby of his youthful lips

And cold the waxen brow:
Hut if he died for blue or gray,

Yet, on some grave Instead

For all the "Unknown Dead."
And on his grave some kindly

only tho pollution of food resources
that has to be dcalth with, but the

suggested of this menacing evil is
an immense aqueduct to Wales, to be

again, would renuer the drainage
problem the more serious.
Here is an alarming physical con
