PACIFIST MOVES
WILL GO TO WAR
English Poet in Omaha Says Great
Britain is Justified in Fighting
in Present War.
WILL JOIN ARMY IN SPRING

Although famed as a pacifist and
as the author Of The Wine Press
a powerful poem against war. Alfred
Moves, English poet, in Omaha "a
speak to the Fine Arts and Palimp-
sest societies today, is not wholly
wholly man of peace.
Yes, am for peace" he said at
Hotel Fontenelle this afternoon, "but
/ am also for justice and humanity.
For instance" he explained, "I am at
peace and In favor Of peace with every
body In Omaha But II | or my wife or
friends were unjustly attacked here, or
murdered, and nothing but fighting would
protect us and settle the difference, then
1 would fight IL u the same with Great
Britain in this war"
Then he made plenty OF distinctly Brit
ish statements, which emphasized the fact
that he believed his country to be fully
Justified in its fight against Germany
Moreover, he is registered for military
service, and in the spring, when he re-
turns TO England. he will again offer
himself as an army recruit
Again is right for he has done so
once already. Yes, he is actually willing
TO go to war. even II he is a peace poet
Although very modest about his willing
ness to serve his country in a military
way, he takes special pains TO avoid being
sized up as a Stacker" Nothing like
that in his makeup. even though he isn't
in the trenches now.
Il could not pass the vision test before
when 1 registered for military service" :"
he explains. Anyway. l am a married
man and single men are being taken for
service first"
Professor at Princeton.
Although only 80 years OF age. Mr..
Noyes is said to be rated as one of
the greatest of contemporary English
poets. He is exchange professor OF liter
ature at Princeton university for the
spring term of the present college year
and has held the chair before.
In their honor General John L. Webster.
Mr. and Mrs. George B. Prinz and other
leaders in the Fine Arts society gave a
luncheon at noon at the Fontenelle.
Speaks at Fine Arts society.
Mr. Noyes spoke to the Fine Arts So
ciety at the hotel at 4 o'clock on "Opti-
mism in the Poetry of the Future" This
hS Wal be 6uNoL OI nOnOT at n
Palimpsest club dinner at the Fonte-
nellie.
When asked for his opinion upon the
teaching of the German language in pub
lie schools whenever such Is demanded
by specified number of citizens, Mr.
Noyes said that German and Russian
and French are very good modern lam
guages for students to learn" but that
he saw no good reason for specializing
particularly on German.
When told that the present method Of
teaching literature sometimes seemed to
be to chop poetry up into feet and
inches, he expressed the opinion that
such method would spoil the natural
taste OF students for literature.
American literature is an ideal ele-
ment for the Americanizing OF foreigners
in the United States" he declared. IF
the works of such American authors as
Emerson. Lowell and others are taught
to the immigrants who come to this coun-
try it will help to make American citi-
zens of them"

Under the management of l. NJ. Eos ter the Lighthouse Canning and Pack ing Company yesterday resumed ac, tive operations, and now is working full shifts canning the famous Cor, dova clam.
 Yesterday only half shift was put in as the clans brought to the can nery were sufficient to keep the force working full time. Today, how ever, three more clam diggers are at work, and as there was a very low tide, it is probable that supply large enough to keep the cannery in full operation will be brought in, and once started, it will be easy to keep the razorbacks coming in in large quantities,

Officers of the United States coast and geodetic survey left on the launch Manila to- day for the open sea at the entrance of the straits to investigate the ap- pearance of q mysterious breaker a mile south by southwest of Tatoosh island, and in the path of coastwise and transpacifie vessels The breaker was reported by Standard Oil tank. CT entering the straits. Speculation is rife as to the possible cause of the breaker. Government charts show 32 fathoms of water at the point. The possibility of underseas volcanic &C., tion causing a mountain to rise just below the surface of the water is sug- gested. Others say it may be a water logged derelict, or wreckage that has drifted and lodged there. Government officers said 1t might be caused by meeting of cross currents.
