OF frirolity and sensuality. When
we saw him wear the same uniform

linen for two, three, -four successive
days, dip his head in n bucket Of cold
water like tho most plebian of Of
,hcers, we came to believe that those

many pairs Of trousers, shirts and silk
socks, OF his cologne baths, and Of
the Oriental perfumes and essences
which he spread over his body. had
been merely writing for foolish read
crs of both scxcs
Yes. the poet has aged and changed
considerably since the war began. Be
sides his left eye. he has sacrificed
TO the cause OF greater Italy all the
sybaritic habits he had acquired dur
ing his long literary career. And my
impression is that after the war the
world Will know different D'Annunzio.
and those who have known him before
Will hardly recognize him. His art
is also undergoing tremendous
change. AS he himself told me that
last time we spent an hour topetber
the future task Of the poet is to create
new words to describe what the ewes

tongue is unable to express for lack Of

CHARLESTON SET BACK
Semi-Ofnciai Report That Work on

CHARLESTON, WEST VA, July IA
Charleston and all Of this part of West
virginia has been rather set back by
semi-official statement from WASH
ington to the effect that, owing to the
enormous demand for steel, and for
other reasons developed by recent
events. Secretary Daniels. the head of
the Navy Department, has determined
not to proceed right now with the
building OF the armor-Dlate plant here.
The report is that owing to the de-
mand for steel being far in excess Of
the producing capacity of the coun-
try. the honorable secretary deems 1t
unwise to throw this additional bur-
den upon the steel interests in order to
supply the steel for the $11,O0O,O0
