Discovered in Egypt

B. p. Grenfell and A. S. Hunt, direc-
tors of the Egypt exploration fund, have
discovered a papyrus containing
poem by Sappho hitherto unknown.
]. NJ. Edmonds Of Cambridge, has pre-
pared for the Classical Review the
following version OF the poem. printed
in the London Times:
Fairest thing in all the world. some
say, is a host Of horsemen.
And some, hosts Of foot, and some,
again, navy Of ships.
But to me tits the hearts beloved
And ills easy to make this understood
by any.
When Helen surveyed much mortal
beauty
She chose for best the destroyer OF all
the honor Of Troy,
And thought not so much either OF
child or parent. dear,
But was led astray by love to bestoW
her heart afar.
For woman Is ever easy to be bent
when she thinks lightly Of what
Is near and dear.
Even SO YOU today, my Anactoria, re-
member not it seems when he Is

One Of whom / would rather the sweet
sound of her football
And the sight of the brightness Of her

once shared is better than to for

REAPINe AS He soWED.
The Secretary Of State Gathering His
Harvest Of Criticisn.

Mr. BRYAN has discovered by pain
ful experience that destructive criti-
cism is a much easier task than con-
structive administration. In practice it
IL not such a simple matter to con-
duct a department of the national gov
eminent SO that other people will not
ind fault.
The secretary Of state has now be-
come the universal target Of all the ad-
mnistration.s opponents and the situa-
ton is plainly getting on his nerves.
He quarreis with the reporters. He re-
sents requests for information. The
more he Is criticised the more secretive
he seems. According to all reports
from Washington. he is careworn, anx-
tous, and irritable.
Mr.. Bryan is probably astonished and
indignant at the character Of the criti-
cism directed against him. He is not
only held responsible for his own de-
partment, but he rs blamed for every
ching that happens outside Of It. He -
the administration scapegoat. A bull
moose newspaper in New York even
took him to task the other day because
the number Of "help wanted" adver-
tisements ir the Sunday papers had
greatly decreased.
Scurrilous refugees who have been
got out Of Mexico at great trouble and
expense sail into southern ports Shrek
ing ITO h-ll with Bryant" Jingoes &C
cuse him of lacking patriotism. The
war element insists that he is sacri-
fcing hts country in the hope Of secur-
ing the Nobel peace price. Senators
picture him as the ally of villa. Stand
pat republicans are ready to prove that
ne is running the country, and nothing
can save it but return to Cannonism.
Criticising Mr.. Bryan is generally re-
garded as much safer amusement
than critfcising President Wilson. and
doubtless it is. The secretary OF state
Is vulnerable, but nobody could be. we'll
guilty of SO many offenses against in
telligent government as Mr.. Bryan's
enemies are charging against him. The
very excess of accusation should bring
him comfort and consolation,
In spite OF adversely, however, we
hope he will recover his philosophy.

free in his criticism of other admins
