With the Red-Blooded Writers
Ry CHARLES A. BENNETT

The books ends with an analysis OF the
causes leading up to the war and denunca'
ton of German ambitions.
Enough has been said to show the mastery
way in which the Bishop goes about to prove
his thesis that literal Christianity is an effete
hypothesis which refuses to function for our
modern age He has written a thought-pro-
voking work which no one interested in Chris
tianity can afford TO neglect.
POETRY
"Centaurs and Chmeras," by Arthur de Lys.
Here is another champion of Vers Libre. We
confess we have little to say. But then, Mr.. de
Lys is in similar predicament. For example
here is poem entitled "Incompatibilty'
Oil!
Vinegar
Mix them!
Can you?
What a fine economy of eXpression-and OF
thoughts here Or. again, take this:
The Trolley Car
You thought this going to be about trolley
car didn't you!
Well
Until began to try to write so netting,
And then
Nothing would happen
SO changed my mind
And you
Are stung
Mr.. de Lys ought to go far. We earnestly
hope he will.
