'The Conquerors'
I saw the conquerors riding by With cruel lips and faces wan: Musing on Kingdoms sacked and burned There rode the Mongol Ghenghis Khan;
And Alexander, like a God,
Who sought to weld the world in one;
And Caesar with his laurel wreath;
And like a thing from Hell, the Hun;
Then all they perished from the earth,
As fleeting shadows from a glass,
And, conquering down the centuries,
Came Christ, the Swordless, on an ass.
And leading like a star, the van,
Heedless of upstretched arm and groan,
Inscrutable Napoleon went,
Dreaming of Empire and alone . . .
This poem, "The Conquerors", was written by Harry Kemp, a student at the University from 1908 to 1911. Mr. Kemp is a nationally recognized poet and author whose name is in "Who's Who". He is the manager and founder of the Poets' Theater and a member of the London Poetry Society.
Mr. Kemp traveled around the United States as a tramp and once made a trip around the world starting with 25 cents. He is author of several plays, including the four act play "Judas." Among his volumes of poetry is "Cry of Youth", and is novels include "Tramping on Life", "More Miles" and "Love among Cape-Enders."

Allies Engage In Final Drive Toward Tunis
(By International News Service)
American troops, surging many miles across the hills west of Tunis in cooperation with the British First Army, captured a promontory called Long Stop Hill, which came to be known as the Verdun of Tunisia because of the staunch resistance offered by the Germans. The hill is 29 miles southwest of Tunis.
Allied attacks on the Tunisian front now constitute the general offensive — probably the final all-out assault—to drive the Axis from Tunisia, dispatches indicated yesterday.
