(By Kdmund Vnncc Cooke.) Out of Verdun, us from a throat of brass ' Tongucd by a silver liammer came the cry. Its words mount liko n barrier to the And bar tho Wild Wolf's way. "You bhall not pass!'1 So spoke nt Marathon for you and me Tho Greeks who drove tho Persian lo the sen. So spoke audacious Hermann in that hour When his bold damning broke the lioiMiin power And sunk its legions in tho bhiek morass, With the stern battle-ery, "You shall not pass!" Aetius and Theoiloric os spoke Having all Kurope from Attillu'3 yoke, Scourging "Tho Scourge of Clod." And yet again Ho sang Muriel's sword to tho Sar acen, - llrcitking the Moslem sciincliir like glass, Saving us by the cry, "You shall not pass." Kven so, at Orleans, spoke tho Saint ed Maid Cowering tho Knglish with her stain less blade. So trumpeted bold Drake and racked tho host Of Phillip's Arinadu from Knglnnd's eoasl, And saved the western world. So, too, The Iron Pake spoke at fateful Waterloo, "Not even a Napoleon shall pass!" To tread the nalious into withered grass. And was it all for naught 1 Shall one mad foot Crush us to Dowiler that his will shall rule And make I ho world a sacrifice to Ma is I No! it is lettered in I lie denial slurs Across the heaven's blue; "You shall not pass!" No miracle ol'-ineuace and no mass Of malicu shall avail. You shall not pass! You shall not pass! You shall not pass ! THE DEVIL RESIGNS.

D E T It O 1 T Former President Hnoaevelt In memorial day ihIiIicss declared "America doc not want to win thin war on points; we want a knockout, ' GERMANY'S S"YKI)KX, after long delay and uiih-Ii OYriiian inspired hostile criticism, lias signed a commercial agreement with the United States and the allies wherehy more than 300.1)00 tons of Swedish shiliiiL' are released for allied use in exchange for needed supplies. (icrnian pressure prevented the signing of the agree ment months ago, despite, the dire need of Sweden hut proof of a comprehensive) plan by Germany for the con quest and annexation of Finland and the creation of a German Greater Finland to seize part of Kussia and prob ably part of Sweden has caused a reversal of Swedish sen timent. Swedes now arc convinced that their own safety as well as that of all the neutrals rests on allied success hence the, agreement with the allies in the face of German threats. The Stockholm paper, which first printed the revela tions of Prince Lichnowsky, German ambassador to Great Britain at the outbreak of the war, proving conclusively that the kaiser alone waa responsible for starting the war, has recently printed statements from prominent Finnish leaders,, now in i'erlin, as representatives of the Finnish governement in its negotiations with Germany, confirm ing German plans in Finland. These plans are thus out lined: 1. The carrying of the war to the Arctic, circle, the seizure of the Miu-nian railroad, running from Petrograd to Kola, Russia's new port on the Arctic Ocean, and the occupation of Lapland, Russian Karelia, and the Finnish coast of 1 he Arctic and the "White Setts. 2. The extension of the pan-German dream of a " Mit-tel-Europa" to include a through railway line from the northernmost cape of Kurope to Constantinople. 3. An alliance between Finlaiyl, Germany and Japan which will renew the Avar against Kussia, giving Petro grad to Germany and Siberia to Japan. The program included the capture of Ilelsingfors and Petrograd by the German l'altic commander and the crea tion of a "Greater Finland" including Petrograd and the new railroad constructed since the war began from the Russian capital to the Murman coast. ' Part of the pro gram has already been carried out. Ilelsingfors has been taken, part of the Murman railroad has been seized and troops are reported advancing on Petrograd. The new Finland, greater than Norway, Sweden and Denmark combined, is to be hounded on the southwest by a German Esthonia, and other Gemanized Pall ic provinces and Germany is to be given a free harbor on the Arctic sea in Finland. A German prince will rule "Greater Fin hind," which is to be dominated economically and politi cally by Germany. A number of obstacles are faced in the eonsumation of the scheme. Sweden threatens war rather than aban don the Aland isles. P.ritish troops have been landed on the Murman coast, to protect the railway and prevent the seizure of Kola Hay ports, while British warships are guarding the harbor. When the big battle on the western, front is over, Ger many will be ready to begin the conquest of the Arctic, renew the war on the Bolshevik and approach Japan for an alliance for the division of Russia.
