SHUTS OF SOUTH AFRICA

Keep your eye on Smuts," was the admonltion
of a contributor to the London Daily News five
weeks or more ago. Who is the person with
this name which may appear so incongruous APP
piled to greatness? Smuts is the man who is
cleaning up East Africa for the British He is,
when fully panoplied as to title, General the Hon
orable Jan Christian Smuts, X. c., lawyer,
Cambridge graduate, builder of the Union of
South Africas constitution and is a typical
Dutchman.
He is acclaimed by the London Daily News as
the most considerable figure in Greater Britain"
that is in any of the colonies, 1t is said of
him: "The light blue eye searches you with an
extraordinarily penetrating gaze, but it does not
easily yield up the secrets of that wary, calcu-
lating and self-possessed mind. You have an un-
comfortable feeling that he reads you like an
open book while he remains to you hidden pur-
pose
He loves letters, has had a passion for
Whitman's poetry, is deeply versed in philosophy
and the things of the mind, finds his greatest de-
light in the simple pleasures Of the country and
of his own family but his emotions are under
an iron discipline He seems to glitter like finely
tempered steel and you could not conceive him
yielding to any impulse of fear or weakness, or
of any human sympathy that had not re-
celved the sanction of his cold and deliberate
iudgmen,,

A CULPABLE GOVERNMENT

I have dear to me as any son is to
any father, IF this country gets into war, and
it will unless it prepares itself to enforce pace
that son should offer his services. He is of the
kind and type that will be required. If he
should fail TO enlist, the Government will have
the right to conscript him; but the curse of
God will and should rest upon that nation and
that people that will call its best blood to the
colors without having first taught them TO take
care of themselves, and that will not furnish
them as good arms they forced to face
that will not give them ammunition TO last till
the fight is over; that will not cover their posi-
tions and movements by field artillery equal In
quantity and of as long range that of the
adversary; that will not provide air craft and
submarine craft-in short, that will not do all
that human resource and human skill can do
to make their defensive position tenable and
their offensive movements successful. Anything
less than the best is absolutely worthless Amy
preparedness less than adequate preparedness is
useless, and war waged with antquated or in
sufficient equipment is than murder for
1t subjects those who heed the call of duty and
who obey the command of the country to igno-
rninious defeat and shameful slaughter-Ex-

some struggle on where some have fed:
some seek. while others shun the fray
Some swords rust where others clash

their importance in English literature.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Words

as Lyrical Ballads" The first edition, pub

literature 1t was virtually the precursor OF
the Lake School, which effected triumphant
revolt against the Augustan or formal school OF
Pope. 1t marked the swing of the pendulum
from classicism of form and subject TO the free
dom of romantic thought and unhampered
treatment. Wordsworth contributed to It his
famous preface poetic diction, pleading for
simplicity OF diction and selection of subjects
from the common things and affairs of life. He
realized his poetic theories in such lyrics as
"Peter Belr' and I'VE Are Seven" Coleridge
revived the romance of the symbolic and un.
