Kipling First to Recognized Trne Character of Germans. An inquiry by a correspondent as to the reason for the exclusion of Rudyard Kipling's poem of "The Rowers" from the volume of his col- lected poems has not yet so far as the Boston Transcript has learned, been answered. This poem, which was a scathing arraignment of the Germans, was published in 1902 In the London Times in criticism of a sort of working arrangement which the British Government entered into with the German Government about lighthouses and other naval matters in the North Sea. So far as the Tran- script has observed, this poem con- tains the first application ot the term "Hun" to the modern Germans, in precisely the same sense as that in which it is now employed. The phrase seems to have made so deep an Impression that although the poem slumbered from 1902 to 1914, the word "Hun" sprang into instant and universal Anglo-Saxon use as soon as the war broke out. "The Rowers" had in it much of the lyric and expressive force of Kipling's ear- lier work â€" of "Tomlinson," and "Mandalay"; and why it should not have been included in volumes of his verse issued subsequently to 1902 the Nomad cannot say. It is a trifle cryptic in its symbolism. It represents soldiers of the Boer war in the form of galley-rowers return- ing from sea battles, and finding themselves compelled by their com- manders to row it, company with old enemies whom they despise. They sang: "What reckoning do >e keep. And steer her by what star. If we come unscathed through the Southern deep To be wrecked on a Baltic bar? Columbia Grafonolas Columbia f'Recorrfs i â€"FOR SALE BYâ€" W. A. Armstrong: JEWELLER, FLESHERTON our voyage was Last night ye swore done. But aeaward still we go; And ye tell us now of a secret vow Te have made with an open foe: That we must lie otf a lightless coast And haul and back and veer At the will of the breed that have wronged us most » For a year and a year and a year. The dead they mockc-d are scarcely cold; Our wounds are bleeding yet; And ye tell us now that our strength Is sold To help them press for a debt! 'Neath all the Oaua of all mankind That uae upon the seas Was there no other fleet to find. That ye strike hands with these? Of evil times that men should choose On evil fate to fall. M'hat brooding judffmpnt let ye loose To pick the worst ot all; In siKht of peace from the narrow seas. O'er half the world to rim Witli a chpat<'d crew to league anew With tliu tiotli and the shameless Hun!" The little German bargain had but a brief career, and it is probable that this diatribe had much to do with its going crosswise. Another poem of Kipling's which does not appear in his collected works is his charming "Gipsy Trail." It begins: The white moth to the closing- bine. The bee to the opened clover, And the Gip.oy blood to the Gipsy blood Ever the wide world over. Ever the wide world over, la.is. Over the trait held true. Over the world and under tlie world And back at the last to you. The last two stanza.s must always be at the tip of the wanderer's tongue: The wild hawk to the wind-swept sky. The deer to the wholesome wold. And the heart of a man to the heart of a maid. As it was in the days of old. The heart of a man to the heart ot a maid â€" Light of ray teats, be fleet!

Whatever practical purpose may be served by the recent registration of the population of Canada sixteen years of age and upwards, the will- ing spirit of the people to comply witli Government decrees has been convincingly proved. More than 6,000,000 men and women have reg- istered. As the census of 1911 show- ed that 40 per cent, of the poptilation was under 16 years, It would appear that the population of Canada is to- day not less than 8,000.000. The population as returned on the last census was 7,208,000, so that an in- crease of about 800,000 has occurred In seven years, or 11 per cent., with- out counting some 350.000 soldiers who have gone overseas. In the de- cade 1901-1911, the increase in population was 1,835,000, so that when allowance is made for the heavy falling off In imuiigration since 1914, there may be upwards of eight million people now in Canada.
