With that he put up his hand to con-
firm his belief. Immediately there was

SMALL WARS MEAN BIG POEMS
Greatest Battle Hymns Have Not
Been Inspired by Titanic strug-
giles Like the Present One.

The greatest poems have been writ
ten about little wars. The Had was
written around a siege carried on by
a handful Of barbarian chieftains
against a city of the second class. The
battle of Chevy Chase was border
skirmish following upon cattle-steal-
ing expedition. And kipling's imperial
muse is at her best when she sings
OF petty wars with colored tribesmen.
Britain's far-nung battle line was far
hung against Dervishers and Afridis;
II was seldom brought into collision
with field intrenchments and siege ar
tillery. Little war. or else big wars
In anticipation Of retrospect, these are
the rich soil for the poet.
A great war in the actual, the fate
Of an empire truly at stake, may make
poets out OF the common crowd, but
subdues the poet to the level of the
common crowd. There is solemn tone
about Kipling's latest verse which has
,ts effect. Only II is not exhortation
we wanted. but exultation; not an ap'
peal, but clarion call When an en-
tire nation is afiame the poet is apt to
find his mission rather perfunctory.

"Przemvaln

'Przemysl" is one of the few really
simple proper names that have secured
notoriety in the Russian invasion of
Galicia. 1t is pronounced "Pzhem-is-l," I"
with the accent on the 'pzhem." Just
how easy this is one may appreciate
by considering Przemyslany, in the
first syllable of which the "r" is sound
ed, thus: "przhe," with the Austro-
Hungarian variation OF miscellany"
following. In pronouncing "Przemysl"
you should carefully hold a "p" be-
tween your teeth while pronouncing
'ahem" (Which is a soft, mushroom,
dumdum variety OF "shem') and just
as you are about to eject It deftly In
sert the "p" in the outer hook OF the
a." thus: "Pzhem." Nothing can be
simpler.

THE TEMPERANCE PROSPECT.

Following are excerpts from the au-
dress OF Miss Anna A. Gordon, presi-
dent of the National w. c. T. u, at
Chautauqua, New YorR. August IL:
The phenomenal progress OF the
temperance reform as hastily outlined
is the best proof / can present that
the prospect for national constitution
al temperance is most encouraging
Many and varied are the influences
that have fed the fire of public sent-
ment, but, speaking today for 100000
white-ribboners, II is only just, that
should emphasize the 40 years Of edu-
cational work of our organization,
society unparalleled in its effective
machinery, In its devotion and its self
sacrifice, and declare my belief that
under Gods blessing the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union has been
the greatest instrumentality in arous-
ing the heads, hearts and consciences
that are now demanding nationwide
temperance.
q. -.
National constitutional temperance
is safety first" measure that should
have the earnest, active. untirlng sup
port of every Christian and every pa
triot. II is safety first" for thou
sands of suffering women and chill
dren; II is safety first for the rising
generation of boys and girls, our citi-
zens of tomorrow; It is safety first
measure made absolutely necessary by
the electric age In which we live, an
age which must eliminate alcoholic
poison II It would preserve individual
and national life.
National constitutional temperance
is an efficiency measure which must
be secured for our great republic II
we would maintain our proud posi-
ton among the nations of the world.
In these resourceful days the united
temperance forces OF the country have
something brewing for the brewers
and something distilling for the spe-
cial delectation of the distillers, name
ly, righteous public indignation; an
indignation that can only vent itself
In aggressively working for and win,
ming national constitutional temper
ance.
Clouds. portentous in their black
ness, rapidly rolling up in the nations
horizon, betoken the coming thunder
storm. Several times in recent years
John Barleycorn has been struck by
national temperance lightning. The
abolishment OF the sale OF liquor In
our national capitol building, In the
soldiers homes and in the army can
teen; the so-called "white-ribbon re-
gime" at the White House; the pass
age Of the Webb-Kenyou bill for the
protection of temperance territory;
the fearless action of Secretary Dan
iels In banishing strong drink from the
navy-all these electric bolts have
somewhat prepared John Barleycorn
for the storm soon to break, when
temperance lightning will strike down
every distillery, every brewery, and
every dramshop in our nation, and
will write a temperance amendment in
our national constitution. God speed
the day!
