WHO WROTE THIS POEM!

The Literary Digest Seeks Author.
ship of Some Beautiful Verses.
Several weeks ago we reprinted the
late Madison Cawein's beautiful poem,
"The Wharf of Dreams" A corres-
pondent sends another poem of the
same title, and asks the authors
name.
The charm of this poem has caused
us to depart from custom and print it,
in the hope that some reader will
supply the name of the true poet who
wrote it.
The Wharf of Dreams.
Strange wares are handled on the
wharves Of sleep.
Shadows Of shadows pass. and many
a light
Flashes signal fire across the night:
Barges depart whose voiceless steers
men keep
Their way, without star, across the
deep:
While from lost ships, housing with
ghostly crews,
Come cries of incommunicable news,
And cargoes pile the wharves, a
moon-white heap.
Budgets of dream-dust, merchandise
of song,
Wreckage of hope, and packs of an
cient wrong.
Nepenthes gathered from a secret
strand
Fardels of heartache. burdens of old
sins,
Luggage sent down from dire ances-
tral inns
And bales of fantasy from No-Man's
Land.-Literary Digest.

THE PASSING OF THE BUGGY
Sales Have Fallen OFF Heavily With the In
creasing Popularity of the Motor Car
in City and Country.

town, but in the country this is not
altogether the cause. Here | lay the
decrease to the drouth. If man act
ually hasn't the money to buy you
can't get it out of him by advertising
or any other method.
1--WE must admit that the autOmo-
bile is here to stay, but at the same
time | predict that in four or five
years, there is to be a new demand
for buggies. In the last four years
the desire for automobiles has swept
over the country. If l see one Of my
Eeighbors purchase a mac1le I don't
think rIuch of t., but let five or six
OF them sail past me in their autos
and I'm going to begin to feel the
need of one myself This desire is
alike in town and country, and in
town 1t is very likely to continue.
"In the country. however, the pro-
position is different. Just now, when
the auto is novel. every country resi-
dent would own one and the buggy
becomes passe. but In few years,
when the novelty wears of. the farm
er and his family are going to make
use of the buggy again. Mind, {
don't say that they're not going to
have an automobile, but they're go
ing to use the buggy too because they
find one conveyance is not sufficient
The family perhaps drives to town in
the automobile but business takes
the father or one of the older sons in
another direction, and here is where
the buggy comes in"
All dealers in Columbia say that
their present sales are principally the
cheap and medium-priced buggies, the
higher-priced buggy and equipment
having given way to the automobile.

secure an outlet through the Mediter-
ranean.
Germany needs to expand, but civ
! ilized neutral nations cannot justify
her in her methods used to secure
what she wants. But back of all Is
England, believing herself to be
Christian misunderstanding herself, as
st. Paul would say-forgetting to ap-
ply the simple rule of the Christ
whatsoever We would that men
should do to you, do We even so to
them"
The newspapers tell us that Italy
has been promised by the Allies ali
that she demanded from Austria and
many of Germany's colonies in differ
ent parts of the world, where she sue
ceeded in planting them that time
that England was satiated with her
foreign acquisitions. Now any just
person, whether he be a statesman or
not, knows that the Allies have nc
moral right to seize land belonging
to any nation any more than they
have to seize money.
The world is so great and there
is room enough for all If. instead OF
navies, We all had fleets Of merchant
vessels and the inventive genius of
men was busy devising swifter or
more efficient ships, and if the first to
reach the market secured advantages
that slower competitors must con-
cede; but If the slower trader of today
reached the goal first on the next
trip, then the advantages belonged to
him. Is it all too visionary? Will the
old Golden Rule work in every day
life? 1t is the only infallible rule
and the only one that will serve to
keep international peace.
Some one has said, "A free people
knows no race hatred" and Christ
said, "Ye shall know the Truth and
the Truth shall make you Free" and
He said, 81 am the Way, the Truth
and the Life" and Il and the Father
are one" and God is love."-G.

THE NEW BOOKS
A Lovers Tale.

A typical Maurice Hewlett story is
his "A Lovers Tale" medieval ro-
nance that shows the Viking spirit at
its widest. 1t is story of primitive
passions full of rich if rough poetry.
1t has those very qualities of dramat-
ic and romantic interest which won
for the author his great popularity,
and yet 1t has also the quality of nov-
city, for 1t is not a romance of France
or England in the age of chivalry, but
Of Iceland in Viking days. Full of the
strife of might and cunning in that
rough, simple time and place, it glows
with human nature at its utmost. 1t
shows that the authors wonderful
storytelling talent burns at least as
brightly as ever. (Charles Scribner's
Sons, New York 297 pages; $1.25)

THE RETUM OF vENEsELOS.

Dispatches from Athens say that
former Premier Veneselos of Greece
won an overwhelming majority in the
recent Grecian elections and that it is
certain he will be returned to the
premiership. Veneselos is the great
est statesman Greece has produced in
many years. His mastery handling
of the affairs of his country after the
last Balkan War made him the most
conspicuous figure in the peace ne
gOtiations. He Is now considered one
OF the most brilliant statesmen in Eu-
rope.
Veneselos is the leader of the So
called war party in Greece. Like
Premier Salandra of Italy he is a
strong advocate of intervention in ia
vor OF the Allies. But King Constan-
tine desires to keep his country neu-
trail, and when there was a deadlock
between them the premier resigned
his portfolio. The Queen of Greece
is German princess, and it is said
that she brought strong pressure to
bear on Constantine to keep Greece
out of the war. Wild rumors say that
the kings illness is not caused from
pleurisy, but from knife wound in
fiicted by the queen when he showed
signs of wavering and of following
Italy's example.
The return of Veneselos may mean
Greece's entrance into the war, it is
said. 1t is known that he favors such
a step, and it is known that he is SUP
ported by strong war party. Should
he become premier, and the dispatch
as say his return to office is certain,
one more country may become in
volved in the titanic world struggle
