from COlller S.
Recently we ventured the suggestion
that the joy of the swimmer was a
theme peculiarly appropriate for
poetry We are pleased 20 have the
New York Tribune. our admired con-
temporary offer prize for such a
poem. This is the offer:
For the best poem couched in the
rhythm of the swimmers movements
in, say, Australian crawl of trudgeon
meter--we snail give one once-size-36
bathing suit ever SO worn"
These words appear in double
column bearing the caption 1.-The Con-
ming Tower" This "colyum," now an
institution in newspaperdom and else
where, is signed F. P. A., the initials
of that most redoubtable of para
graphers. We arc pleased that the
Tower shares our curiosity in this mat
ter: but we confess to a disappoint-
ment that its offer should be so mig
gard, so unfeeling Sic semper poetis!
Thus have our poets from Chaucer to
Marquis been consigned to poverty.
But to think that this Arbiter Ele-
gantiarum of journalism, this popular
Naecenas of undiscovered and often
undiscoverahle poets, should offer such
grUdging need as swimming suit,
and that shrunk and worn, and at the
end CT the season too! Nor is our Won
dernent leSsened by the TACT thaL our
contemporary so clearly shows his
aquatic prediction by the title with
which he heads his column. That his
taste in natatorial verse is unexcep-
tionable we can testify from the en-
thusiasm ne shows for Louis Inter
meyers excellent poem, Swimmers"
in the July. 1915 issue of the yale
Review" To show, however, that our
faith in the reliable critic of the
Tower is no whit lessened, we thank
him for the ad and amend his offer as
follows: We will agree to accept the
poem which the Tower dominates as
the winner, provide for it an appropri-
ate decoration, pay the author 500 in
American currency, and honor him with
an introduction by F. P. Aft F. p. A.
will so favor us.

Robert l. Coxwell has been instructed
by Governor Henderson to go to Pike
county Monday to check in Walter c..
Black, the newly appointed probate judge
of Pike county, who succeeds the late
Judge Edmonson.

for several days he would make no APP
pcintment and would simply allow the
chief clerk, Nell Boyd, of the probate
office, to discharge the duties of the
probate judge for the unexpired term.
Mr.. Black is not interested in the fight
waged between the two political factions,
and his appointment is looked upon as
compromise.

fisherman at Pleasant View, near
Watch Hill, overlooking Long Island
sound reported tonight that he had
seen with his marine glasses large
submarine proceeding in the direction
of New London, where the German
submarine Bremen has been expected
for more than a week. She was then
25 miles east of New London and
showed on her mast bright white
light above green light.
These lights. according to the observer,
were the ones he had been told by Cap
tain Robinson of the tug Westerly would
be carried by the German submarine
which the tug some days ago had been
OF dered to ook for.
The submarine was unaccompanied and
displayed no flag. The observer, who
protested to be familiar with the ap-
ear ance of American submarines which
have their base at New London. said
that she was of a different type from
any he had seen. The boat was several
miles off shore and was going at a M ID
e.atc rate of speed. The sea was very
