LOCAL YOUTH IS
MOVED TO POETRY
HORRORS OF WAR WILL NEVER
CEASE UNLESS THE POLICE
INTERFERE.

War Is indeed most terrible thing.
Its bad enough 70 see our boys march
ing away to be shot at and perhaps
hit; TO gaze upon our homes as they
crumble into ruins from a bandits
torch; to bid our loved ones goodbye
knowing that We may never see them
again. These things are certainly bad
enough, but when. in addition, we are
forced to read war-inspired poetry,
then our troubles are indeed too great
to bear. Here is what a local poet
has been inspired to write, following
the call to arms. The police and fire
deparsme1t via please keep their
hands off the yoUngster as he means
well. The lines are as follows:
The Grand Old Flag.
Hark! The bugle, Calling soldiers
From all corners of the land.
To the col9rs! Grand old colors!
Now hey ond the Rio Grande
What's the matter? Why the tramping
OF many thous md martial feet?
Who is Funston? Who is Pershing :?
What brave fec are they to meet?
Al, They go ct forth to battle
With a foeman worth their steel
They are searching for a viper
To crush firmly meath their heel
Pancho Villa they are seeking;
Bandit Villa! He must die!
Murderer villa, born of Satan!
Death to Vi.la!" is their cry.
On, brave meni Stop not for trifles!
Chase this monster to his den.
Let his hideous, rotting carcass
BE a warning to his kin.
A million men. and more if needed
viii rush forward should you lag
To revenge the death of comrades
And defend the grand old flag.

st. the young musicians who made
their fire.. appearance as the Elki Trio
at Rumford Hall last night. evidently
base their venture on the safe belief
that there is always room for group
Of sincere artists.
But they have more than mere SIN

were noticeable qualities.
In the Lewandowsky Sonata, which
proved an interesting composition, Mr..
Rapee permitted his ardent interpreta-

out the violin passages given by Mr..
Harmati.
Although Mr. Harmati's playing IS
somewhat lacking In polish and Ger.

the favor Of the entire audience.

PLEA FOR HELPLESS FAMILY
Father in Prison. Society Seeks TO
Aid Wife and Children.

The Charity Organization Society
has issued an appeal for aid for the
family of Mr.. A.. who is doing time"
To h : TWO little sons the words are
as incomp rehensible as the fact that
father was "sent up" for not taking
care OF his family. The hard work
that the mother did for months, and
the bitterness Of her struggle. IS an
other thing they do not understand.
But they know that frequently she
could not give them the food they
wanted. The father will be free next
March. and IL is expected he will be a
better father 20 Danny and Ted.
Meantime. Mrs A. cannot supply all
her children's needs, the rent and
food. fue. and clothing. and give them
a mothers care besides. The Char
ity Organization Society is anxious 70
raise = special fund Of $50 for them,
which will last until March. When
Mr.. A. returns strong efforts will be
made 10 see that the new leaf he IS
turning over stays turned. Gifts TO
help them should be sent TO the Office
of the Charity Organization Society,

Forty Years with Century
Magazine Mentor of
Famous Illustrators.
FATHER OF AMERICAN
WOODCUT ENGRAVING
Retirement from Active Duties
Was Marked by Tributes
from Prominent Men.

Alexander Wilson Drake. for forty
years the art editor Of The Century
Magazine" died last night at his home,
17S East Eighth Street. He had been
i'll for several years. but it was not
until two weeks ago that his condition
became serious. He was seventy three
years old.
Mr.. Drake was born in Westheld
\. j., and came TO New York as a young
man for an apprenticeship with Will
lam Rowland. then one Of the leading
wood engrayers OF the country, and
soon became master Of the art. Later
he studied painting in oils and water
colors, and in 1865 went into business
for himself
When "Scribner's Monthly Magazine
was started. in 1870. By Josiah Gilbert
Holland, Roswell Smith and Richard
Watson Glider. Mr.. Drake became It's
art editor
In 1851 "Scribner's" became "The
Century" and Drake continued his con
nection with il. also taking over the arr
work Of "St Nicholas soon after th'
half-tone engraving came in, and n
was one Of the first 10 learn the trade
and make use Of II.
His death marks the passing OF on
of the great leaders in American Illus
tration,' said Robert Underwood John
son, former editor OF THE Century,
last night. "He was particularly distln
guished for his great service 20 Amer
can wood engraving, OF which he was
in fact, the father. He was man OF
great taste, and had an intimate know
edge Of engraving and the allied arts
Besides being an artist, Drake wa
an inveterate collector. Ills house ir
Eighth Street was filed from cellar tc
garnet with masterpieces OF fine work
manship and art. His most famous col
lection was of brass and copper, anC
his rings, Of which he had over LOO
exquisite specimens. Very often hi
house became too crowded by constant
accumulatons, and he would announce
an auction sale.
His death will be keenly felt by tht
younger artists, "a well as the older
because il was proverbial OF him tina
he never became too old to appreciate
and understand. Many Of the younger
artists whose pictures now appear II
the periodicals are indebted 10 his IN
SEPARATION and philosophy.
Three years ago. after he had re
signed from THE Century" a dinner
was given for him by the artists Of
New York in recognition Of mis- services
Covers for fifty had been laid. but wher
it came time for the dinner ESQ came y
pay their respects and all Of then
came with the password: "All hats oil
and up-for Drake!"

Men and women of the stage and
those who write for it will give Will
lam Winter. for many years dramatic
critic Of The Tribune, testimonial in

women whose names stand high IN
every field Of endeayor. The testimo-
nial will be given in recognition OF Mr.
Winters eightieth birthday.
A few days ago a letter WAS sent 20
the critic which read. in part:
"The signers Of this letter and many
others. who await only a word 20 JON
them are earnestly wishful TO express,
in some special and lasting manner. the
great admiration. respect and regard
which they feel for yOu-the honored

Journalist. Scholar and Poet, who has
so long and so nobly labored for the
dignity and purity Of our letters ana
our drama and for the good oil the
theatre and the public.
your career, sir. has been unique.
Il is fitting that it should be crowned
with a UNIQUE work of approval, no
less as an encouragement 10 others
than as ! tribute to you. Eminent men

nize and deeply appreciate the motive
Of the proffered testimonial. and ! do
accept il in the spirit in which It Is
rendered and with profound gratitude
that il has been my fortune to inspire

il reason 20 believe that II will take
the form Of a special theatrical per
