Raised Presumption Of Submarine.
The fact that all these incidents
have occurred since the new German
submarine campaign went into effect
March has raised a presumption
among many government officials that
submarines are to blame. It fs point
ed out that this IL only small part
of the total OF sea tragedies daring
the month OF March, as 1t includes
only those involving Americans.
Oficials holding this theory are at q
loss to account for the greatly IN
creased number OF such cases on any
other grounds. 1t is uncomfortable to
them, they declare, that there should
be such a series of sea accidents all
due to mines, when mines hitherto
have not caused nearly &C many losses
OF ships and lives at sea-
President Wilson has taken the
ground, however, that he should not
act on assumption or on bare unsup-
ported testimony in arriving at \ de-
cision on the cases now before him.
1t was stated after the cabinet meet
ing today that while every effort will
be made to gather the evidence in the
pending cases ns speedily as possible,
no action will be taken until the facts
are established.

Great Demand
For Poetry Books

Libraries all over the country are
experiencing at the present time a
great demand by borrowers for books
of poetry especially by the newest
authors of these works. Perth Am
boy is not excepted in this spread Of
poetical works and have several
books written by some of the latest
poets. Among these are books by
the ImigiSts and Masters, the latters
spoon River Anthology having
proven the most popular. The fol-
lowing article from the October issue
of the "Diaf' should prove interest
ing as it touches on this subject.
Popular appreciation of imagism
and free verse exceeds expectation
and gives food for thought as to the
enduring merits of these latest forms
of imaginative literature. 1t is sig
nificant that our large public libraries
are recording a growing demand for
the poems of certain recent writers
whom the more conservative refuse
to recognize as poets at all. Whatever
our personal preferences, however,
much we may prefer I'm Memorian
to the spoon River Anthology" we
cannot blink the fact that the love
of poetry now noted with approval
where formerly the love of fiction
held undisputed sway, is not confined
to appreciation of Tennyson and
Longfellow and Browning and Low
ell. Interesting evidence of this pop
ular liking for later writers in this
domain literature is furnished by the
observant official in charge of the
openshelf room, as it is called, in the
st. Louis Public Library. She reports
I'm point of ISSUE the most note
worthy fact has been the sudden in
terest attaching to modern poetry.
The work of the great poets has never
lacked appreciation, but the contrary
has been true of those untried by
time up to the present year. when
the greatest demand for presentday
poets, such as Masefield, Noyes, Byn-
ner, Masters, the Imagists and
writers of free verse has developed.
Masters's spoon River Anthology
has never found a place on the reg
ular shelves, having steadily reserv-
ed since its publication, while The
Poetry Journal is in constant
demand. That this interest is gen.
eral Is evident from the assertions of
the booksellers, whose sales along
this line have been amazingly large.

About Authors
An Echo from Lincoln's DAYS.

A reviewer of Judge A. j. Often
hoefer's just-published book, How We
Elected Lincoln" stated that the
judges version of chief justice Taney'
decision that "a negro had no rights
that white man was bound to re-
spect" is merely repetition of a long
prevailing error. In defence of his
position Judge Dittenhoefer quotes the
following paragraph from the Dread
Scott Decision 10, Howard 393-363,
the exact language used: Neither
does 1t apply to q person who, being
the citizen of a State. migrates to an
other state. For then he becomes
subject to the law of the state in which
he lives, and he is no longer a citizen
of the state from which he removed
And the state in which he resides may

status or condition, Sad-- place him

Oriuin of the Census,

The census probably had its origin
In Rome. The term comes from the
high officer called censor, whose duty
it was, among other things, to emu,
merate the people. The Roman cen
sus must have been minute and full,
since it indicated not only the number
Of the people, but their respective
classes, domestic positions, wealth,
etc. 1t seems that the Roman census
was taken about every fifth year. The
first effort to take a census in Great
Britain was made In 1901, but 1t did
not extend to Ireland. The first cen
sus ever taken in the United States
was In the year 1870, since which time
1t has been taken regularly every ten
years.
