We reprint here an original poem from the Clinton (Iowa) Herald, coming from the pen of Roland Rathbone, a writer of no mean ability: * AN UNHYPHENATED EXIT (To Patrick O'Brien of Momence, 111., aviator in the Canadian air serv ice, whom the German empire was unable to retain after half a dozen Hun airmen had been lost in cap turing him.) Shame on ye, Pat O'Brien! 'Twas a mean trick ye did— Ye wint and left the kaiser flat And divil a wurrud ye s'id! 'Twill break O'Leary's trustin' heart To think a man named Pat Would give a dear old friend .of his The Irish slip like that! We know about your monkeyshines. Faith, and it's common chat The rows ye raised among the clouds — 'Twas mean—'twas all o' that! Ye had a hod filled up wid bombs And let the contints fall, And niver had the sinse to yell, "Look out below!" at all. And whin the Germans put ye in That private railroad car Ye didn't say a wurrud o' thanks— Ungrateful man ye are! For whin the willin' porter Took wan minute on his job Ye wint and smashed the windy glass, And out ye wint, be gob! Ye didn't even stop to tell Von Hindenburg good-by, Or talk on how ye liked the place, An' this an' that, or why The Irish don't appreciate The man he's workin' for Ye stuck your dudeen in your phiz And sashayed out the door! Ye fooled the German soldiers Wid the goose-step, we suppose. And waved them all a bold salute Wid a hand forninst yer nose, A sausage underneath your arm An* on your hip a brick— Oh. bucko! 'Twas an Irish And unhyphenated trick! Read the story "Outwitting the Hun," by Lieut. Pat O'Brien. The story of his escape from the Germans will appear exclusively in the Harrisburg Telegraph.

HERTLING SEES NO INCLIN ATION TO STOP CONFLICT | Praises "Incomparable Army, Heroic- Leaders, Stead fast Nation" By Associated Press Copenhagen, Monday, March 18.— Germans should not indulge in dis illusions that a world peace has been accomplished yet, Count Von Hert ling, the imperial chancellor, de clared in concluding his speech fn the Reichstag to-day on the peace treaty with Russia. He added: "There is not the slightest inclina tion yet perceptible among the en tente states to terminate this terrible war. We, however, shall not lose faith. We are prepared and every thing is ready. Further heavy sacri fices may come, but I am. confident in our just cause, our incomparable army, its heroic leaders and the steadfast nation. Responsibility for further bloodshed will fall on the heads of those desiring its continu ance." Baron Yon Dem Bussche-lladden liausen, undersecretary for foreign affairs, explained that Germany had adopted a sharper and firmer meth od in the second phase of the Rus sian negotiations because it realized that Trotzky, the Bolshevik foreign minister, desired not peace, but to in stigate Germany to rebellion and counted on a revolution in Germany counted on a revolution in Germany and Austria-Hungary to help him veil the fact of Russian defeat. "Our negotiations," the undersec retary said, "gained the impression that the Russians expected far more severe terms after they had forced us to a fresh appeal io arms and their protest that they were forced to accept our terms without sufficient time for negotiation was a mere at tempt- to save their own faces. Everything had been discussed fully in December and the only new de mand after the ultimatum was that regarding Kars, Ardahan and Ba toum. (The peace treaty provides that these districts in the Caucasus shall be ceded to Turkey)."
