NO ISSUE INVOLVED Certain Americans are trying to make something over the fact that Germany ex- ecuted an American citizen who was fight- ing with the Polish army. This is nonsense.

At Simon’s house where He paused to eat They brought no water For his dusty feet. But a sinful woman, The Magdalene, Brought precious ointment To soothe their pain. Knowing full well Her own ill-fame, Her tear-filled eyes Cast down in shame. All unworthy the Lord to greet, Humbly she kneeled There at His feet. Filled with remorse For her wasted years, His feet she bathed With her falling tears. Having no cloth She used instead The lovely tresses on her head. With trembling fingers She let them down— So long and lustrous And softly brown. And in repentence, While kneeling there, She dried His feet With her silken hair. ‘}iterature and a noted author. ‘waterfall, MOUTH, SERRATIZD “ap CONG Siher CLAWS, FLORIOR HUNTER BAGGED FLORIO ENSOVED THE UNCOMMON OISTINCTLOM OF BANGING MME MONTE LUT MeL N VELAND, LEGHEO (55 POUMOS; TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS Comeseocercenencsescccsecesocccocacscsenesesssonr Dr. Leo Wolman of Columbia.
