Crowds continue to flock to the Bfjou

popular attraction and large audiences
have greeted 1t at every performance.

DEPORTATION OF FRENCH

Concerning the deportation of many
thousand women, girls and boys from the
Lille district in northern France by the
German military authorities, Premier
BRAND said:
our enemies, being unable to contro-
vert the fact that they acted contrary to
all the elementary rules of international
law, have thought to justify their acts
by affirming that they were in the in
terest of the population and to assure its
subsistence. They omitted to say that
they began by reducing our fellow cti-
zens to famine by despoiling them of
all interest in the harvests from their
own soil. 1t seems fitting, while await
ing the moment when these criminal acts
shall receive their punishment, that they
should be brought to public attention.
The premier added that he had placed
the proofs of this connection before neu-
trail governments and the universal con-
science.
Confident as we may be in the issue
the end of his address, 1--WE must not
indulge in an excess of optimism. 1t
would be harmful should we diminish our
activity in the conviction that victory can
no longer escape u.s. Let us cody face
the truth The enemy is still powerful.
He will defend himself desperately to
the end. He can only be crushed by re-
peated blows"
Premier BRAND concluded by an anu
sion to the peace to which he said a con-
tinuation of the present effort would lead.
Thus, he declared, would come peace by
victory, sound and durable peace guar
anteed against any return of violence by
appropriate international action"

Song S of Wedlock," by

SONGS OF wEpLOCK BY T. A. DAILY. David
Mckay. Philadelphia.
ACCORDING to a well-worn saw (was 1t
"A not william Archer who uttered ttO
"most domestic verse should be used to light
the domestic fires" He meant that such
verse had little in II for the outsider. that
It's main merit was the appeal OF per-
sonal and private relationship. That is. per-
haps. true, but the indictment is too sweep
ing to exclude successfully all poetry OF the
hearth and the home, To back up this
contention along comes our own Tom DAILY,
whose column in the EVENING LEDGER has
been deservedly popular feature OF this
newspaper, with a new book. Songs OF
wedlock" published by David Mckay,
Philadelphia.
You who have known Tom all along as
specialist in Italian and Italianate rhymes
as a quipster Of topical events as an Irish
man loving Irish things and celebrating
Irish fun and tragedy In his own Irish way
you will be surprised at the tenor OF
this new book. AS its title confesses. II
is a collection OF pieces dealing with mar
ried life. and there is In II no McAroni bal
lad. no joke. no bit OF dialect or humorous
devllment It Is MS serious AS poetry can
he. and withal In a thoroughly Dalyian
manner. Probably he regards II as his most
ambitious attempt. The volume is divided
into two sections. the first series OF twenty
as their theme the second called I'm Kin
dred Keys" In this latter section the poet
permits himself slight widening of scope
and purpose. for ,he ranges from songs for
the months TO an eleEy on Ada Rchan, and
from the artificial exquislteness of the bal
lade form TO the humbly unpretentious
measures of "In Lockerbe Street" me-
mortal to James WhItcomb Riley.
Despite Mr. Archer's saw, the first part
OF the book is characterized by two qualities
pre-eminent sort of quiet dignity. which
lifts the Songs of Wedlock" out Of the
realm of mere pretty amativeness and n
restraint OF style and placidty of express
sion eminently suited to the subject.
You will look in vain for any impas-
stoned expression of emotion. Mr.. Daily
realizes that after the domestic tapers have
replaced the bridal torches. the rhapsodlst
of the hearth should. must, suit his song
to tho diminutlon of the light. Loud chants
are for the ceremonals, the feasts and the
fetes OF nuptials, are proper. For the days
after a gentler Lutte must be touched. That
lutte Mr.. DAILY knows how to play. He
plays II with quiet and moving beauty in
When Day Begins" with a more detached
energy in ITO "A Thrush" with n childish
and vivid gnyety in ''Gn Wintry Weather"
where the interplay of thought Is both swift
and imaginative, with epigrammatic concise
ness in the Inscription for Fireplace"
quoted at the head OF this review, with
bounteous feeling for maternal pity and love
in THE Mother" and with a ripping ca
dence recalling Tom Moore and fellow bards
In AT the Threshold"

pare him with greater singers that have gone
before. This bit for instance. is distinctly
like William Morris. especially In THE
