We Iiavo been slow to wrath: we Hhall
endure
Unto tlio end. There in a God: and
bo the end is sure!
Now la the Beast the Polish madman
saw,
Mad as his prophet, loosed against all
lands;
Ills swinging mace Is all he knows of
haw.
Ills Creed dwells In bis mauling
hands ...
With shug flanks caked, of slime and
shame, .
And lolling tonguo, but new-artlcu
late.
Hoarse with bis hymns of hato,
From his prlmevul caves and wallows
came
This Beust to challenge Fate.
With Michael's might, with Michael's
holy flamo,
Bndow us, Ood! we face him in Thy
name!
This Beast we know, whom time
brings to this last re-birth:
Bull-thawed, Iron-boned, cold-eyed,
land strong as Earth . . .
Ab Kurth, who spawned and IcBsoned
him.
Yielded bor earthly Becrets, gave him
girth.
Armorod tho skull and braced tho
heavy limb
Who frowned above him, proud and
grim ...
Bhe taught bruto facts, brute might,
but not tho worth
Of spirit, honor, and clean mirth . . .
Ills shape Is Man, his mood Ib Dino
saur. Up from tho wild, rod woltor of tho
Past
Foaming ho comes: lot this rush bo
his last!
Ho soonis to conquor, treading down
Tho garnered treasure of the arduous
yoarB,
Assails the spiritual temples bulldcd
up
Of Bacrlflco and salnlly tears,
Defiling allnr, fnno, and holy cup
Triumph from Time ho seems to
wrest
The ago turn plolstocono again at his
behest-
And Truth seems for tho moment
overthrown.
Ood! mako us a spear against his
breast
To pierce tho heart, to split tho bono!
Too patient wo havo been, thou
knowest, Ood thou knoweHt!
Wb have boon slow as doom! Our dead
Of yesteryear Ho on the ocean's bed
Wo have denied each pleading
ghost
Wo have been slow: God, mako us
sure!
Wo have boun slow! (irnnt wo endure
Unto t ho uttermost, the uttermost!
Did our Blow mood, O (iod, with
Thlno accord?
Then weld our dlvorso million. Lord,
Into ono single, swinging sword!
Our easy years fall from us now, a
cloak
Of no defense; and nil the sum
Of trivial things whirls off as smoke:
Our day of trial has come.
We that refused to sacrlflco
Our ease to vigils Liberty demands
Shall learn Ibis year of that refusal's
prlco;
Wo that would Buffer naught must
suffer thrice
For tliat wo fulled to forge us warrior
brands
But even so, but even so,
W (hall bo Btedfu.H; even tho
Tho red monlhs stretch to yenr of wo.
Wo shall ho stedfnitt:
Peace no more con be
Until from hind and sea
Passes the shadow of this tyrrauy.
Now, Ood, wo join Thy host!
We bave been blind; but even so.
Wo aeo Thee now, and now we fight
for Thoe,
Unto the uttormosl, the uttermost!
Make us, Against this Beast, a sword:
This Is Thy battlo, Lord!

-th special election is the following:
Submitted by the Legislature. Four Hundred thousand dollar tax levy
for a new penitentiary Purpose To authorize tlio Board of Control to
construct a new State Penitentiary by contract or otherwise and to acquire
a now site or grounds therefor in the county in which the penitentiary is
now located, at a total cost not exceeding four hundred thousand dollars.
To onable the Board of Control to carry out the provisions of this act, a
state tax levy of one hundred thousand dollars each year for four years is
authorized to be, made In addition to the taxes otherwise authorized by law.
Vote Yes or No. 312 Yes. 313 No.
It would be fine, of course, if we could provide niaernifi-
cent new quarters for the
the nuirdorem, burglars, yeggmen and degenerates so
journing at the taxpayers' expense for the public, wel
fare at the state prison,. but times are hard and the crooks
should worry along in their old quarters until times im
prove, like the rest of us have to. If the present quarters
are unsatisfactory let thorn obey the law and keep out
of prison.
No poorer time than the present could exist for divert
ing money and labor that is needed in preparing the nation
for war to unnecessary prison improvements. The $100,
000 is needed elsewhere for the vital purpose of protecting
the country in its struggle for national existence. The
labor is needed in essential industries. With the hie-h cost
of living, Hie high cost of war,
SH'WW additional tor the high cost of prisons?
It costs more to build now than at any time in recent
years, ah inuidmg materials
bkilled tabor demands almost prohibitive wages. The
shortage of labor already is crippling the crop producer in
Oregon and to divert still more labor from the job of feed
ing the world to provide luxury for criminals is little less
than a crime.
Both the public and the
it the Jatter were given out-ot-door employment around
the state, instead of being herded together in'idleness. Put

FRKXt'II FHOXT. June 1. What
Frenchmen regard as proof that the
German government lias planned to
annex tho Baltic provinces of Russia
was found in n flermiin official
pamphlet marked "strictly confiden
tial" und found in n house at Noyon
after the German evacuation of that
place. Until German government of
ficials and German newspapers re
cently have denied thai there was any
such plan but the discovery of the
pamphlet is held here as evidence to
the contrary.
The conclusions summed up in the
pamphlet are:
'"The culture of the Russian Rnl
tic provinces is German and bus been
so ever since the first German colony
migrated there. The culture of the
Lithuanians and Ksthonians is also
German. The Bailie provinces arc
the most German of all the Russian
frontier territories. The Russian in
fluence bus manifested itself there
only as an clement nf destruction
and decomposition. It has remained
purely superficial and has been main
tained only by the presence of Rus
sian ol'icinls. Should these disap-IM-ai'
the Russian influence wi'l go
with them.
"The country is almost entirely
protestant and (lie Lithuanians and
Ksthonians arc protcstants exactly
like the Germans. Only a feeble frac
tion besides the Russian officials fol
low the Greek orthodox faith. This
Greco-orthodox fraction, whose con
version was elected by nrlifice nnd
force, has a tendency toward piot
estantism nnd would certainly em
brace it if it possessed liberty of
conscience.
"The three provinces are a single
and uniipie field of civilization; they
should form one unity. The three
provinces form a geographic unity.
Being our immediate neighbors we
could maintain ourselves there much
more easily than in any overseas
colony.
"The country is thinly populated
and thus offers considerable oppor
tunity for immigration. It is almost
exactly as entensivd as Wurtemburg
and Bavaria, together. lis excess of
agricultural production is so consid
erable that il would make up for the
deficit in the German agricultural
products. The country possesses few
railroads nud all oilier eonunuuica
tions are precarious It thus offers
a vast field of action to industry and
technical sciences. The administra
tion of (lie country presents no diffi
culty, its inhabitants having been for
several centuries accustomed to gov
ern themselves.
"Only Ihe annexation of the Baltic
provinces would give us the mastery
of the Bailie and its commerce."

COPEXHAd-E.V, June 1. The late
Governor-General Blsslng of IlelBium
maintained until the day of his death
his belief in the necessity of the com
plete annexation of Belgium to Ger
many. German advocates of moder
ate peace have been asserting that
Von Blsslng changed the- views he
expressed in the memorandum be ad
dressed to the emperor advocating
annexation. This Is disproved by a
letter written by Von Hissing on Jan
uary 14 to the Helchatag deputy, Br.
Stresemann.
In this letter General Von Bissing
declared that the war was lost If Bel
gium at the end was not chained to
Germany, to be ruled and exploited In
Germany's interest. He chides those
"superficial thinkers who wish to con
tent themselves with guarantees of a
paper nature or who consider the
Meuse line an adequate frontier, a
line which can never constitute the
frontier which we need."
Von Bissing goes on to fay that the
frontier needed to protect Belgium
against England and France must be
advanced as far as concevable north
ward and that the coast Is and must
be part of that frontier. The governor-general
declared that his entire
policy had be governed by this Idea
and that he had labored Becretly but
steadily to build up "connections" to
support this program, l ie added that
If these secret connections were main
tained be hoped the time would come
when Germany would be compensated
thru Belgium for her great sacrifices
in the war.

KANSAS CITY, M..., June 3.
Twelve outspoken objectors lo the
draft law in Knn.-ii City and the sur-
roiindinir territory awakened this
morning- behind prison burs charged
with conspiracy against the govern
ment. Included among- those held by
he federal authorities are two women,
Mrs. Lcnnrii VYnrensnn Moure and Dr.
Kva Harding of Topcka.
Mrs. Monro, or Mrs. Warenson, as
she preferred to be called, was des
ignated by the authorities as the
"brains" of Ihe local band of objee
tors. She first attracted federal no
tice several months ngo when as a
teacher in the public schools she
wrote anti-cnlistiuent arguments on
tho blackboard.
Dr. Harding is well known thruoul
Kansas, being the first woman )i
.censed to practice medicine in thai
state. She was defeated for congress
nt the last general election while
running- on the independent ticket.
Four of the men held were arrest'
cd yesterday after their injunction
seeking lo halt the draft registration
had been refused by a local court.
