ToDAY's POEM

THE CAPTIVE

When I was very young Was it yesterday? What of it! And the whole must needs be sung, 7 Over and over. Earth, and, the heavens above it, The sea. the clay, the clover I snaote a ringing word against it's
 brother,
 Silver and silver, one upon the other As rain srnites on pool in April
 weather, N And music is born of the two coming
 together. That, by the clock, was yesterday, And the words were flashing and
 cIashing within me, Like wild bells singing and ringing
 within me, Sweet as the unpremeditated pipes that
 shepherds play In the dusk -dimmed theatres of
 May! But now. O Song. in travail art thou
 wrought, No more upspringing like a sum-
 walked bird, Thou Hest in chains, the slave of ty-
 rant Thought, The captive of meaning in a word Dana Burnet in Harper's Magazine for May.

VATICAN UPHOLDS CASTELLANEAND
 COULD MARRIAGE
Commission of Cardinals De cides Again That Wed
 ding Was Valid.


 Rome, May 6.-The validity of the marriage of Count Boni de CastelIane to Anna Gould, now the Duchess TaI- Ieyrand, was upheld yesterday in a de- cision by the commission of Cardinals appointed to consider the application of the Count for annulment of his marriage.
 Count de Castel1ane has appealed several times to the Vatican for a ru1- ing that his marriage was invalid. His last appeal, which has now been de- cided against him, was filed in Jan uary of this year.
 Count Boni de Castellane's marital affairs have been before. the Vatican tribunals since 1910, when he made his first attempt to have his marriage to the present Duchesse de Ta1leyrand, formerly Miss Anna Gould, who di- vorced him in the courts of Paris in 1906, annu11ed, so that he could be married again and also gain the GUS tody of the de Caste11ane children. The church once granted Count de Castel- lanes suit to declare the marriage an nulIed. On the other two occasions it refused to annuI the marriage.
 The de Caste1lanes had two, sons, who were given into the custody of the mother when her divorce was granted. She married the Prince de Sagan, now Due de Ta1leyrand, in 1908. Her mar riage to the Due is not recognized by the church. Count Boni and Anna Gould were married in 1895 under both civil and religious rites.

ASSERTS HEALTH OF JAP YOUTHS
 GROWS POORER
Commander of Tokio Dis trict Blames Trolley Cars
 and Other Novelties.

Tokio, May 6-Street cars, too much schooling and too little exer- else are the causes of deteriora- ton in the physical condition of the younger generation of Japan, accord ing to the views of Colonel K. Ozu- daira, commander. of a Tokio regimen tai district. Easing his Judgment on the results of recent conscription ex- aninations at Tokio, the officer says he finds indisputable evidence of a decline in the health of the youns men of the country especially of the metropolis. f97e-e rvT-fs
 'HThe health decline is becoming a serious national problem declared Colonel Okudaira- He said that MNoile the results of conscription ex- ar1inations far last year were not worse than for 1914, they were far worse than those for 1918, and that on the whole the physical condition of the young men in Japan is de- teriorating year by year. He added;
 .tTokio is the worst of all parts of the empire in matters of healeh- His is partly due to the developments of the means of transp The increase of tramways means that the people do not get enough exercise Another reason for the poor results of the conscription examinations in recent years may be the fact that ow- ing to the progress of medical sci ence even children of weak constitu- ton are saved. from sickness which otherwise would have killed then"
