 It is indicated. therefore, that the allies diplomats will advise thei, friendly spirit and go as far as pos sible toward meeting the wishes oi the United States. No indication was vouchsafed, however, as to whether the replies will be Individual or specific in nature.
 Secretary Lansing. in calling in the diplomatic representatives of the belligerents. is understood to have made it clear to them individually that the United States exped.ed tho replies of their governments to be frank in all details. Tho idea was gathered that the United States E looking forward to forming itself into clearing house. at least for views and probably for terms. The general understanding was that the purpose Of this explanation was to enable the envoys to communicate to their gov ernments the underlying purpose o' the presidents action at this time.
 The opinion also prevails that the United States expects to be fully in- formed of all terms, including those relating to territory. l. is felt in cer tain quarters that while statements regarding terms, especially those con cerning territory. might readily ~be passed along hv the ~%S1ited States thev must not. if the negotiations arc to have the slightest chance of sue cess. be conveyed to the public gen orally.

The Best Courage.

No true manliness can be realized where courage is not present-cou' rage, as denoting not merely that keen instinct of battle which displays itself in stimulating settlements, in the heat of contest, in the crisis which pushes enc to self-vindication. or in passion championship of favorite opinions. but as representing what is ampler than this, and also finer: Strength of heart, strength to endure as well as attack, to pursue and achieve as well as to attempt, to sacrifice self altogether, if need be. on behalf of any controll, ing conviction. A thorough consent of judgment, conscience, imagination, af' lection, all vitalized and active. with certain invincible firmness of will as the effect of such consent-this is implied in really abounding ano masterful courage.--Richard Saltel Storr.

Modern Poetry.

Poetry, like every great force' mas followed an evolution of it's oWn' anu as it comes to us today we may trace in 1t this general tendency. 1t mas tended away from the epic and the ex- pression of broad communal or na- tional feeling, and expresses now Tar more than it did. in far more suptle and intricate directions. the feelings of the individual. If it gives voice on public, national or international events it does so from far more specialized and personal point of view than or oid' and with something of the aceroity and narrow intellectual outlook Of the party politician. The strength or mod- arn poetry hardly seems to lie TOT tne future in this direction.

Let us. so far as we can, bring wider interests to our little world. There is no more potent charm to ban- ish the petty and unworthy from it.. Wider interests open the doors into a wider world into which some day we may step. Let us work ceaseless]y, patiently. No success we may win in any calling will be worth anything if we have not cultivated the power to keep all around us bright and orderly and attractive. if the light of divine love, and peace, and power, and wis dom does not radiate from us into the world and help and inspire others.-- Nancy Freeman.

Is rumorcd that when Jennings team
leaves town, Sam Crawford win be the
property Of the Washington club.
Crawford. who has seen many years
OF major league baseball. has regun
to slow up. though mis- hitting Is quite
spring interfered with his work just
long enough for Jennings to see a bril-
liant future for Harry Holman, sub
stttuting for the Wahoo wonder. The
natural result Is that Crawford has
ben benched, and Heilman played reg
ularly.
The addition OF a batsnan OF the
Crawford type would prove OF immense
assistance to the struggling Griffmen.
Whether or not he would bring the pen
nant to Georgia avenue. OF course, can
not be said, for pcnnants depend gem
orally upon more than one man. hut
as he can clout II. the Griffmen would
win many games that they are now
losing for the want OF Just that kind Of
hitting.
On the recent visit Of the Griffmen
to Detroit, Manager Griffith approach
ed Hughey Jennings with a talk Of OBJ
tanning Crawford. at that time resting
quietly on the bench. Jennings refused
to talk Of II. lie needed Crawford at
that time as the only extra outfielder
on HE club.
Griffith. however. has not stopped
thinking Of arranging a deal for Craw-
ford. and II would not be surprising to
see one OF the extra Washington pitch
ers going to Detroit in exchange for
the veteran outfielder with the heavy
wagon tongue.
