Mrs. Lionel Marks, or Josephine
Preston Peabody, to call her by the
name which she has made famous, Is
poet whose tendency has always
been toward democracy. From 1.-THE
Singing Leaves" her first book of
lyrics, to "The Piper" the dramatic
poem which received the StratfOrd on
Avon prize in 1910, and "The Wolf of
Gubbio," the poetic representation Of
events In st. Francis life in her latest
published book, she has chosen for her
theme not fantastic and rare aspects of
nature nor the new answers Of her
own emotions. but things that are
common to all normal mankind, such
as love and religion. Also without
seeming to preach she is always eX-
pressing her love for liberty, equality
and fraternity, and, although she new
er dwells upon the overwOrked term,
she Is as devoted an adherent of the
brotherhood of man as was William
Morris.
Certainly, poetry is steadily grow
ing more democratic" said Mrs. Marks
recently. More people are writing
poetry today than fifty years ago, and
the appreciation of poetry is more gen
eral Most poets Of genuine calling are
writing now with the world in mind
as an audience, not merely for the en-
tertainment of little literary cult
But ! do not think that the vers
!ibre fad has any connection with this
tendency or with the development OF
poetry at all Indeed, do not think
that the cult Is growing We hear
more Of 1t In the United States than
we did year or two ago. but that is
chiefly because London and Paris have
Outworn It's novelty, so the vers IL
bristes concentrate their energies ON
Chicago and New York.
"You see" said Mrs. Marks, "the
commonest thing there isl may say
the most democratic thing-ls the
rhythm OF the heartbeat A true poet
cannot ignore this. At the greatest
times in his life. when he Is filed with
Joy or despair or when he has a sense
VI pohltut, hlll Is uWuIe VI Ills ueuTl,
OF Its beat, OF Its recurrent tick-tlck
He Is aware OF the rhythm of life.
When we are dying perhaps the only
sense that remains with us is the sense
of rhythm-the feeling that the grains
OF sand are running running, running
out.
"The pulse beat is a tremendous
thing. 1t is the basis of all that men
have In common. All life is locked up
In Its regularly recurrent rhythm. And
1t is that rhythm that appears in our
love songs, our war songs, In all the
poetry of the human cycle from lula
bies to funeral chants. In the great
moments of life men feel that they
must be sharing, that they must have
something In common with other men,
and so their emotions crystallize into
the ritual of rhythm, which is the most
democratic thing that there is"

LULL IN SUBMARINE FLAREUP

Felt That United States Should Ex-
anime Text of Alleged British So
cret Orders and Determine Attitude
Of Entente Powers Toward Lansing
Proposal Before Taking Definite
Action.
Washington. Feb. 26. - President
Wilson and Secretary of State Lam
sing are awaiting information from
three different sources before definite
ly deciding the next step in the nego-
tiations with Germany.
First of all, it is necessary for them
to have in hand Germany's reply to
the inquiry made through Ambassa-
dor Bernstorff as to whether the new
German submarine declaration of in
tent to attack all armed enemy mer-
chantmen is not Inconsistent with
Germany's past assurances to the
United States; secondly, it Is regard
ed as necessary by Mr.. Lansing that
the United States should have oppor'
tunity to examine the text ot the al
legged "secret orders" of the British
admiralty directing all British mer-
chant ships to attack German and
Austrian submarines on sight, and,
finally, before any final stand is TAX
en- with Germany the president and
Mr.. Lansing will await the replies OF
the entente allies to the proposal
made to their countries by Secretary
Lansing on Jan. 1S, proposing a mo
dus vivendi under which all their mer-
chant ships would be disarmed.
To the extent to which each Of
these missing documents have a bear
ing on the whole situation the pros
pect is strong that President Wilson
will consent to enter into a discussion
of tie matter with Germany and will
L OF bring about an abrupt termination
of the exchanges. Germany's reply
is now believed to be on the way.
OF two things concerning this reply
the embassy appears convinced; first,
hat Germany will propose a discus
sion Of the new issue, calling at the
same time for statement from the
United States as to its distinction he
tween offensive and defensive arma-
ment in view of the British admiral
tys orders; and, secondly, offering to
postpone the effective date of the new
submarine campaign from March 1
