The dead are three men, four women
and five children.
Ane Zeppelin hurled down bombs
upon an area occupied by dwellings Of
workingmen. An entire block was de-
molished. A woman and four OF her
children, the eldest eight years old,
we're killed In this district. The hus-

during last nights Zeppelin raid on
England was perhaps the greatest OF
the war. According to the London OF
! fetal statement, eight counties, form
ing the tier extending along the north
seacoast and northeast of London
were visited.
The statement that both Essex and
Kent counties, adjoining the city OF
London, were raided, indicates that
the Zeppelins may have come very
close to London itself
Several large towns manufacturing
war munitions are within the coun
ties mentioned in the London dis
ratch. The cities Of Leeds, York

among the most important in the area
covered by the Germans.
Much the same territory was visit

II Is becoming fairly patent that
the modern poet has little reverence
for the work or the methods OF his
great predecessors OF the past, In
thought, feeling and meter the new
poetry differs materially from what
has been regarded as the best The
latest evidence Of this revolution
against the letters OF the past is the
eubist rhapsodist. He is no servile
imitstor. no slave OF precedent. He
Is original. he Is himself. he says so
himself. In consequence OF his ex.
istence some reappraisal OF the
poetry OF the past Is necessary.
Miss Amy Lowell, who writes vers
libre. undertakes the Job In the New
York Sun. She says: America has
produced only two great poets
Whitman and Poe. The rest OF the
early American poets were cultivat-

exactly English provincial poets.
and they were decidedly inferior 10

contemporaries. We can not say
that the poets OF this generation are
better than their predecessors. But
surely we can see that the new
poets have more originality, more OF
the stun out OF which poetry IL
made. than their predecessors had,
aside from the two great exceptions
that I have mentioned"
