4 DEAR LITTLE SWETHEART OF *
4“ LONG AGO. ' ♦
(By J. H. Moreland.)
Dear little sweetheart of long ago,
Innocent, happy and fond of play,
Could you have known what the years
would bring,
Would your choice be the same as it
was that day,
’Mid the clover blossoms in early
spring
When your heart’ was light as a this
tle’s blow?
Dear little sweetheart of long ago,
I love you now as I loved you when
skies were cloudless, and
flowers were fair
In the meadows afar from the haunts
of man;
And our hearts were happy and free
from care
As the murmuring brook or the winds
that blow.
Dear little sweetheart of long ago,
Little you knew what the years would
bring.
Little your knew what your bark
sailed fair,
That life’s sweetest pleasures have
sharpest sting.
That shattered idols are hard to rear;
And flowers once gathered no more
will grow.
Dear little sweetheart of long ago,
Where are the dreams that you once
held dear?
.Where are your castles with gardens
round,
And children’s laughter ’mid flowers
fair?
Nothing you dreamed of your heart
hath found,
What you have suffered, God only
may know!
Dear little sweetheart of long ago,

Labor Against Compulsion.
LONDON, Jan. 6.—The labor con
gress late today went on record as op
posed to the compulsory military ser
vice bill, introduced in the house of
commons by Premier Asquith. The
congress recommends to labor mem
bers of parliament that the oppose the
bill in all its stages.

board of education and the labor party
leader in the house of commons, told
the congress that he intends to resign
and seek the approval of his consti
tuents at the polls before daring to
oppose the measure.
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
ITALIAN BOAT COMES INTO
NEW YORK
(Continued from Page 1.)
suing enemy warships.
Passengers aboard the liner stated
following their debarkation here that
i> was generally understood among
those traveling on the Guiseppi Verdi
that this Italian government is re
sponsible for the guns being mounted
on the vessel. After leaving Palermo,
passengers said, the line took a
roundabout course toward her destina
tion, and while in the Mediterranean
especial precautions were taken to
guard against submarine attack. At
night the ship’s lights were carefully
concealed and full steam ahead was
maintained. The ship’s funnels were
covered during at night, also, this be
ing done to prevent emitting sparks
which might attract the attention of
lurking undersea craft.
After passing Gibraltar the Guiseppi
encountered heavy storms which con
tinued throughout the remainder of
the voyage, but resulted in no damage
either to ship or cargo. The French
liner steamer La Touraine, which left
Eordeax December 26th, and entered
New York harbor in company with the
Guiseppi Verdi, also reported heavy
■ seas while crossing the Atlantic.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 6.—The
state department, is it announced late
this afternoon, will in all probability
take up with the Italian foreign office
the question raised by the mounting of
naval guns in the stern of the Italian
merchantman Guiseppi Verdi, now at
New York. While it is not stated that
formal complaint has been lodged with
the state department by representa
tives of the Teutonic powers ,it is be
lieved that practice will be ruled to be
in violation of the neutrality and the
United States, and in contravention of
the law of nations. The Guiseppe Ver
die will be required to dismount the
guns before being permitted to clear
from the port of New York, it is stat
ed, though the negotiations regarding
the incident may be prolonged during
some time.
Report From London.
LONDON, Jan. 6.—Russian pressure
on the Austrian lines in Bukowina con
tinues heavy today, official reports
from both Petrograd and Vienna indi
cating the fighting there as desperate
and sanguinary in character. The re
port that Czernowitz has been evac
uated! by the Austrians had not been
officially verified at noon today. Petro
grad advices advoid reference to the
reported fall of the Bukowinian capital
but insist that the Austrians have
been forced to fall back upon their
secondary defenses.
In, the Champagne country, French
artillery continues to pound heavily
upon the German linesee, and the Teu
tons are compelled to retain heavy
masses of troops in their advanced
trenches constantly. Between Sois
sons and Rheims, where the artillery
fire is reported as being of unusual ac
curacy, great damage has been inflict
ed upon the German trenches. Infan
try attacks, however, have not been at
tempted anywhere along the western
battle front during today.
Developments that are expected to
hav.e important bearing upon the fu
ture conduct of the war, and especially
upon operations by British troops, are
expected to result from the conference
! between representatives of organized
labor and the government in London
today. This conference, which will
irobably be of importance regarding
tl.e attitude of laboring organizations
toward the manufacture of munitions, !
is also expected to determine finally'
the position to be assumed by the lab
oring masses toward the government’s
compulsory military service bill. At'
2 20 o’clock this afternoon delegates'
attending the conference stated no
developments of interest had occurred.
