Al this Utre moment there is waged titanic strife; Nearly every stream in Europe now 1 runs rod unto the sea, From hills, war -tramped, where free- dom 1s sore struggling for her life. And we were happy, happy lads at home but yesterday, With bat and ball, with oar and rod, with song and feast and mirth; War's challenge made us men at once, and broke the charm of play, And here we'll die ere freedom shall be driven from the earth. Think! Some will see the fourth Yule- tide dawn to the roar of guns; For all -who lie neath folded hills we cannot stop to weep, And we—F'reedom's laet citadel— must face the furious Huns; And on the frontiers of the world appointed vigils keep.

Still more, Some wave back and forth, others hold their shafts steady, like. colossal marble columns joining the sky with the black earth. The shafts concentrate in one spot. For a few seconds ouly, another silver pencil appears, parallel to the rest of the lights. Then little dashes of red light, like matches being lit in the dis- tance, appear—they have spotted a Zeppelin with the searchlights down below and are shelling it. Shall I fly in that direction? No. My orders are to proceed on my course, and 1 hold true, Then suddenly the lights are gone. The firing ceases. The raider disappears, My hour is up, I turn back.

Fashion's Changes. One can. say as a certainty that in the twentieth century no one will be able to boast that he has created any- thing absolutely new in fashions. The crinolines of the Empress Eugenie were a reminiscence of the panniers of Marie Antoinette, and long before her time, in the Orient, women had conceived the idea of enlarging their skirts by means of hoops, A few years ago women of fashion affeoted high waists and teeth dreese done before them Mme Recamier haddone the same thing, and the dresses of Mme Recamier were suggested by fuel Greeks and the Romans In short,' like everything else, fashion is a part of the same everlasting come and go. We do not advance as we are so prone to imagine; we repeat our steps.

The springing up of the community chorus here and there indicates clearly that music has passed the dilettante stage, And it is a healthy sign. The —'-- desire for expression must not be stilted, whatever its channel, and when that channel happens to be of a musi- cal nature, the need for facilities for further development and expansion becomes a question of individual at- tention no longer. but a national issue, Particularly presing is the want of MAO in theis schools; and iti i this s in 'department that nest harm may be wrought by inefficient methods, care- less tuition or mistaken• ideals, With the developing of a scientific system of propaganda, much musical waste will be eliminated, many archaic rules' discarded, and a promising course of countryside musical education pushed to a vigorous conclusion.
