DEFENCE OF SPRING POETS
Missouri Editor Says Let Them Sing
 It Does Them Good

Lee Shippey, making a defense of the spring poet in Higginsville Jefferson- ian, makes the surprising statement that in six years not one spring poem has been offered for publication. Here is what he says:
 Why. when every bird and bush and tree and blade of grass wants to glority its Maker and even dumb brutes frisk and romp, full of the joy of living, it Is sin against nature to too much re- press ones buoyancy! So let the spring poets sing. It does them good and can do us no harm.
 And, instead of swatting them, let us tie cana garbage can-to the old fashioned country editor who fills his columns with quack medicine locals and boiler plate and warnings to spring poets that his paper cannot spare space to them. For he is a liar, as well as misanthrope. We have been running z country paper six years and In tha' time less than 50 poems have been gub mitted to us, not one of which was z spring poem. And we have no doub that this paper, being edited by { writer of verse. has attracted nor, such contributions than most countrl papers attract"

sort of neutrN zone to the north, which neither side has ccupied-consisting of two small plateaus called Les Jumeiles de Ornes. The Germans constructed a railroad behind these plateaus, brought up guns by train, fired a few shots, then drew the guns away without waiting for Verdun to reply. The battle of the Marne put an end to this desultory attacK and since then the pressure on Verdun has gradually turned upon Metz.
 Students of the military operations de- clare that the French have been wi hin long range of the Sommy and Wagner forts for several weeks and cou'd nave attacked them with heavy artillery at the time they began bombarding the railroad line at Arnaville. The entire distance oe- tween Verdun and Metz is only g. miles. It is supposed that they were waiting for the new heavy English mortars from which great things are expected
 The fortress of Metz, like that of Vsr- dun, is surrounded by heights affording admirable protection and commanding long distances of approaching ground. In the time of the French possession of AL sace-Lorraine it was supposed D be ,he strongest fortified place on the ont.er. The Germans began to strengthen it irn- mediateiy after 1871 The work was fn-
 shed in 1890. Another transfer nation, during which a number of new forts were Dullt, began III lSW anu was Hot N't t'iu- pleted at the outbreak of the war
 The place is now defended by 25 mod ern forts with many intervening redonts and secret field works. The southernm ost forts are the Sommy and Hagsles, which adjoin each other on the right bank of the Seille. It is supposed to be q forts of Sommy and Hagsler that are now being attacked The former is one of the most recently constructed forts of me for tress; it is only three and three qua ter miles from Arnaville, the frontier Faili oad town that has been bombarded since De- cember.
 It is not supposed that the French have in view an assault upon Metz. They are simply improving the opportunity afforded by the progress of their lines to infict all the damage possible in anticipation of siege later on.

Simple Life At St. Andrews

The University of St. Andrews where Prof. Herkless is appointed principal in succession to Sir Jame Donaldson, formerly bore closer resemblance to our Southron seats of learning than the other Scottish universities.
 The practice of residing within the walls prevailed longer here than else where. and ceased mainly because the rooms were allowed to become unin- habitable in the interest of the pro- fessors' Candlemas dividends. Andrew Lang once met an aged St. Andrews man who remembered the last under graduate resident in college. He cer- tainly lived "the simple life," because he cooked for himself and peeled his potatoes with a razor!
 But the resident undergraduates must have been troublesome tenants says the Westminster Gazette. They had a playful habit of breaking all tho windows when they left. and one oi them declared. that if he did not get more drink he would burn down the college.

The Electric Brake

From the Scientific American.
 Electric pneumatic brakes are soon ro displace the air rakes used on the pas- senger trains of the Pennsylvania rail- road. This form of brake has been found necessary because of the weight of trains made up of all steel cars In long trains the shock and surging ac- companying the application of the brakes has proved Very objectionable indeed. In 12-car train it takes eight seconds for the full braking force to be felt in the last car With the elec- tro pneumatic brake, the braking power will be exerted at the same instant cn all the cars, and within two seconds after the application of the brakes. the whole braking force will be exerted throughout the train.

 goes on a terrific fusillade On the 10th of March, a German aviator bombed the ! forest in which are our masked tree forts. He killed a few men. We retailated by sending our best airman. Lieutenant Lad 1 rinteff, to bomb the Germans. Yadrint- seffs luckiest bomb fell in the middle of tree platform which carried two ma chine guns and 40 men. The platform | collapsed.
 All our trenches and artillery positions are so masked that German airmen can not see them. The enemy not only masks his trenches; he makes dummy trenches. When the snow lay on the ground, he 1 scraped the snow away along line par | allel to his front, and allowed our recon naissance aviators to conclude that the brown streak was trench. Now there is no snow. The Germans scrape a streak | of earth to a depth of few inches scat ter on 1t a few old uniforms and parade it as their trench. while their real trenches may be mile away. Both sides are yelling their movements by burning damp straw. For days the country is yelled in smoke. Behind this go on inn portant movements of infantry. Aviatorf are baffed. When Hindenburg was re- grouping his troops in East Prussia with | a view to attacking us on the Masuriar lakes, he burnt vast quantities of straw and created a cloud 50 miles long. Or the day of my last visit to the Sokatchef position the German front was yelled fr smoke. Sometimes the Germans make smoke veils as feints. No troop move ments go on behind the veils, while move ments do go on unsuspected at othel places.
 Field Marshal Hindenburg's favoritt present device is to make elaborate fielt Notifications where none are needed. Thii is meant as a trap for us. On the 18th muses between the Masurian lakes ant on the roads between the East PrussiaI marshes are tremendous triple trencl rows with barbed wire and live wires fet from the overland electricity centrals.
