GERMANY, LAMA

A news dispatch reports the curious
fact that the bodies of John Keats and
Percy Bysshe Shelley, two of the most
widely read English romantic poets,
are inferred in land in Italy which is
owned by Germany.
Living in the same generation, both
attaining great fame while of compar
atively tender years and both taken by
death while still young men, the poetry
of these two, read and revered by all
students, is markedly distinct and yet,
in some ways, strikingly similar.
Both followed the best of poetic ira
dition, but Shelley clung more to the
Wordsworthian school, imparting to in
animate, as well as animate, things a
spirit and a soul, essentially human
and yet mysterious, imaginative. Shell
ley was an apostle of the doctrine of
pantheism, beholding God in all earth
ly things.
Keats, imbued with mythology and
the Grecian method of treatment, pro-
duced some remarkable allegorical
poems. the most noted of which are
"Endymion' and Hyperion" One of
his most fascinating, though not so
distinguished, bits of work, however,
is LAMA" and to this collection of
lines, one can easily set recent in
ternational occurrence
In ''Lamia" there is represented cold
hard reason opposed to light fancy or
mendacious deceit, 1t is a story of a
youth enticed by beautiful maiden to
pleasure house where many exotic
hours are spent. A mammoth banquet
Is planned and an old philosopher is
Intentionally not invited. He crceps
In past the servants, confronts Lamia,
the maiden, who instantly turns to her
real self-a serpent.
German diplomacy is Lamia -
smooth, unctous, beguilng and abso,
lutely innocent" The neutral world
Argentine, Sweden, Mexico, and 9th
ers--is the enticed youth. The United
States Is the cold, hard philosopher,
The Luxburg and Eckhardt revelations
represent the crumbling of the pleas
ure house. AS Lamia assumed her
natural form of serpent so has Ger
many assumed hers and surely the inn
perial government cannot be likened
the more to any animal or reptile than
the skulking, hdeous being which has
been mans curse since the Garden OF
Eden.
Truly, Keats might we'll have lived
In this day and might well have pen

salty and enduring quality of his
lines have no better illustration.

tute q night school, primarily for the
benefit OF those young men and wo'
men whose economic demands have
been such that they have been forced
to give up their education, should meet
with a hearty response and endorse
ment from all sides.
Indirectly, the war has brought
about the plan as the war, with its
demands for labor, has forced out OF
school many people whose education
would ordinarily follow the normal
course. The night school is thus
step OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
in that II is not permitting education
to relax one bit as far as Mt. Vernon
is concerned, since the war will be ov-
er some day and keenness of trade
conflict and competition will require
well.trained people to meet it sue
cessfully.
The night school will supply very
great want in that 1t will afford an
opportunity to many people, whose
schooling was shut off when young, to
avail themselves of the advantages of
a high school course at minimum
charge for tuition. To those under
Is years of age, the school is free,
while small fee will be charged
those over this age.

GUYNEMER DEAD?

If Captain George Guynemer Is dead,
a strong belief of which Is empha-
sized in news dispatches, then France
has lost an almost indispensable ser.
want In the most indispensable branch
of military service the war has pro-
duced
Captain Guynemer has been su.
preme in aerial battle for long per.
iod of time, his successful methods re-
sulting in the bringing down, by indi.
vidual work, of 50 German airplanes.
He is reported killed during a recon-
Nuisance flight over Flanders on which
he left September IL.
According to Americans who have
returned from France, Captain Guyne.
mer has been the most feared aviator
in the service. Secretly, he has also
been the most admired for his intrepid
daring. The Germans long ago placed
price upon his head and, in very de-
iiance of this action, Captain Guyne-
mer had his machine painted bril-
liant red and his name painted In large
letters upon It, Despite this come
on and fight" invitation, there were
few Boche airmen of sufficient bravery
to attempt a skrmish with him, un-
less such happened in the reconnais'
sance fight recently.
If Captain Guynemer Is dead his
deeds and his exploits are not and
never will be. He has won for him
self an enduring place in the history OF
this war. Guynemer is synonymous
with successful aviation and aviation
is synonymous with success in this
war.

them. Producers Tor soma l,"C are

radical reduction in price, but main

the advantage of the United States and

President Wilson held to his conten-

sound practice When the purchasing

great extent, hinges on the physical.
Thus, efficiency is threatened.
Had 1t not been for the presidents
