Fifth Ay. Conductors Brit

Lord to st. Helena.
RECLAIMS FAILURE
OF POET LAUREATE
McHugh, Despairing at Mildness
of Noyes, Takes Pen to DO
Conflict Justice.

Goaded by the recent imputation that
tho Great War has produced no great
poets, Edward MclIugh, conductor on
Fifth Avenue bus. has come forward
with proof TO the contrary. The evil
dence is two poems written by Nc
Hugh.
BUS conducting with McHugh is
concession to necessity. In the evening,
surrounded by rollicking group OF
spondees and hexameters. he comes
into his own. At tho outbreak OF the
war he was stirred and arose TO the
metrica defence Of England. his
motherand.
His collected works, comprising AN
Ode to England" and an unnamed poem
of fourteen stanzas, has been printed
for distribution among his friends.
! Lord Kitchener and Mr.. Asquith have
| both thanked him for their copies.
A review OF the MciIugh collection
reveals certain dominant notes. his
work has a tendency toward the mar
tisl, combining forceful expression
with a simplicity of style reminiscent
of the Mary c. Burke school.
The failure of Bridges and Noyes TO
produce any notable lyric on the war
Is balanced by the following from Nc
Hugh's lode 70 England:
For gallantry and ch,yslry
In this uncslled-for war,
Old EnEland dear Old England.
You are lauded far and far.
yo,,- co,ro1o a,d vour ,ustics
Has endeared you to your foes
You'll bring tho Teuton 20 time. old Girl
With your manly armys blows
From the same work is this subtle
innuendo against the Kaiser:
In vain no crsyed tn, aid Of Heaven,
But room will bo our quarry,
And on 20 ST. Helena
Your prisoner long 70 tarry.
Weak nations an;agonized by him,
Their fears soon Will cease;
with Russian. French and Belgian friends'
You'll hold the worlds peace
Compare the gracious sentiment OF
the closing stanza with the spirit OF
Lissauer's Hymn of Hate:
Magnaninity show 20 your foe
When he Tor peace shall suel
Ths war is his last and rueful one
Believe me, Z. AcHugh.
McHugh insists that his only motive
in bringing these lines to public atten-
ton was TO show that England's poets
have not all been appointments, and
incidentally 20 show up the Kaiser In
rs true light. He feels that William
Watson. Robert Bridges and his other
colleagues have failed in their poetic
attempts to do justice TO the war.
"They aren't, If | may say it. ribald
enough" he said. Now. | come right
cut strong. so folks krow what mean"
