CRITICISM BEYOND TEN
ORNAMENTAL STANDARDS.

Finding our standards at last, where the
spirit can Join its lover science. we shall ask
the dilettante impressionist critic TO step out.
We shall place on the balcony for an airing
the neurasthenic aesthetic who has indolently
looked within his own temperament for stand
ards in criticism. The microbe, smaller than
a pins head, has in the past stood before the
pupil of the eye of Criticism, preventing view

gagged in their part of the work OF making lit
erature. art-all history in fact.
A man is what his bacteria make him.
The fundamental duty OF the literary critic
is. first. TO take steps to note the physical char
acterizations which led to mental expression.
The direction given TO minds of authors by
microbe toxins of all sorts, from the alcohol
OF saccharomyces to the poison of ileal ane-
robes. has never been studied as a separate
subject
A schematic description of genius is simple
enough from the microbic viewpoint. For
example: Genius consists in a high degree of
sensitization OF the protopasm of any organ
ism by the toxins OF any more kinds of
rricrobe, having acted upon the individual, or
having acted upon the cell structure OF the
proeentors Of that individual, in such way
as to cause unbalanced expenditure of energy.

Suffering in Turkey

From Leslie s.
 Since the outbreak of the war the con- dition of the poor in Turkey has been pitiable; but in the cold weather. they were worse off than before. The American Red Cross has done a great deal toward their relief here in Beirut. Of course. the work has to be done systematically or much precious money would be wasted Accordingly the city has been divided into 70 sections one or two ladies having charge of the poor from each quarter. Giving out food or money economically is a very hard task, and requires a great deal of patience. As a whole, these peo- ple are very courageous, even though they are faced hy desperate conditions. We do not mlnd so much about our selves" they say. but take pity on our poor children, and give us something for them now. Last night they went to bed without any supper at all, and night be- fore last all they had was a few orange peels. that they found out in the street. - Women of good family, who formerly had work, find it very hard to go out and beg for bread "It is hard, but 1t is much harder to send our children out to beg" they say. It is not so much the actual flour or bread which they are given, as the comforting words spoken, which cheer the people up. What many of them need is the knowledge that they have friends who are looking after them and is whom they may confide all their troubles and cares.

RUSSIAN DIPLOMATS
 HAVING TROUBLE

Munich, June 23.-(Via London. :45 a. m.)-The Augsbergen Zeitung publishes an interview with a Russian diplomat who describes the great difficulties Rus sian diplomacy is experiencing in nego- tiations with the Balkan states Diff culties. the diplomat says. have arisen from Russia's pledges to Seryia.
 The diplomat declares negotiations with Roumania are held up by the almost in- volvabe question concerning Banat. in southern Hungary, already promised to Servia. Neither can Russia permit of the annexation by Roumania of north ern Bukowina on account of it's effect upon Russia's little Russia problem.
 The cooperation of Bulgaria in the war, the interview quotes the diplomat as having said, can be purchased only at the expense of Servia.
 Bulgaria. he adds, has refused to ac- cept mere promises and insists that ces- sions of Roumanian and Servian terri tory to Bulgaria be made immediately. The increased Bulgarian demands, the diplomat continues, brings automatically an increase in the Roumanian preten- sions and if negotiations with Greece are resumed probably will lead to "a simi- lar increase of the already excessive Greek desires.

Elsie Janis. the American actress, who has now lived long in London, has been moved by the loss of several friends aboard the Lusitania to write poem, entitled Where Are You, God?" It is as follows: Where are you. God, in whom I have
 believed? Are you in Heaven, or have l been de-
 ceived? l can't believe you sit up there and
 look down on us all, Seeing the horrors on this earth; seeing
 brave men fall. In praying to you, are you up there
 can you hear me call?
 Where are you, God? Where are you, God. in whose hands
 this great world Is like tiny ball, that can be turned
 and twirled can't believe that you have seen the
 things they have done With poisoned gas and crucihxion. bat
 ties have been won: Yet, after this upon your earth, there
 still exists the Hun
 Where are you, God? Where are you. God? In whom I put
 my trust? You must be there, and You are great
 and just. Your mighty sea they've turned into a
 grave little baby slumbers on each wave; And on the lips of hundreds one word
 Save,"
 Where are you, God? Forgive me. God if I have doubted
 You, For in my heart I know what you will
 do. Quite soon I feel You'll give us cur
 release; Quite soon in your own way You'll tell
 us to cease And with one mighty stroke You will
 send peace.
 For you are God

Calling to tho proprietor of the store, he said, Jim, bring out that box l bought a while ago"
 The package was put into the buggy at the feet of the man and his wife. The latter eyed the box suspiciously.
 Whats in that package?" she asked with some asperity.
 Now, never mind" said the husband, that's not going to hurt you"
 The evasion excited the wifes fur ther suspicious. Ed Spivens." she ex- claimed, that's box of dynamite!"

Tea Plate Poetry

From the New York Sun.
 'The offhand poet that drifts around to teas and things certainly is a winner with the women" ventured a prosaic uptowner the other evening at the liar ward club. "Only yesterday I saw one getting in his fatal fancies
 Some poetic female or other lad besought him to write her verse as a remembrancer and I was wondering how he would ever get away with it, the lady not looking very inspiring, at least, to me. But he never quailed
 There were some small and pretty paper plates on the tea table and he gathered one of them and presently written into it's previous decorations. Tickled? Why, that woman couldn't have been more pleased if he had given her house and lot and she haste ned to pass 1t around to show to everybody. Thus it came to me and read these lines
 "Ah, lady fair, I'm happy
 To offer, as you see
 Herewith, little plateful
 of nice. fresh poetry.
 Not a bad idea. was 1t? And who but poet would ever have thought of offering a lady a plateful of poetry? Of course, that started the machine going and the poet was soon sur rounded by sentimental ladies with empty plates waiting to have them filled as the first had been. Oh it's some snap to be a poet"
