YES. the poet has aged and
changed considerably since the war
begun. Besides his left eye, he has
sacrificed TO the cause of a greater
Italy all the sybartic habits he had
acquired during his long literary ca
reer. And my impression is that
after the war the world will know
a 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 last
time we spent an hour together. the
future task OF the poet is TO create
new words 10 describe what the
oves have seen, the soul has felt and
the tongue is unable 10 express for
lack of proper words.

ROME, July 14.-Gabriel dan
nunzio. the famous poet and play
wright, is said by a close friend to
have resolved never to be taken pris-
oner. He is fighting on the Carso, il
is understood. Having given up his
luxurious habits altogether, he is
living the hard life of the trenches
and has performed many deeds Of
bravery. If his capture seems i'm
minent, he has told his intimates,
he will commit suicide.

Another naval adventure Of the
poet is that which he described in
his .Adriatic Night What he then
refrained from saying (for fear his
critics would construe il as a fine
piece of lf-advertisement). was
that he himself with Rear Admiral
Cagni was on board the destroyer
that grounded while laying mines
along the Austrian coast only a
short distance from me land bat
teries and while the Austrian
searchlights on the IsonzO were
sweeping the surrounding country.
Had the searchlight been turned
seward the destroyer would have
been discovered and a single shell
would have annihilated the ship
with all hands on board.
Prom what l have personally OBJ
served | can say that trench life is
slowly. but fatally destroying the
legend that had formed around
D'Annun.io. the poet and the man,
and according TO which his life was
a tissue Of frivol;ty and sensuality.
When we saw him wear the same
uniform and what is more incredi-
HE. the same linen for two, three.
four consecutive days, dip his head
in a bucket of cold water like the
most plebian of officers, we came TO
believe that those who had written
of the poets wardrobe as contain
ing God knows how 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
readers Of both sexes.

Rice Mill to Operate.

J. W. Wright, one Of the expert
millers connected with the Louisiana
State Rice Milling Company, arrived
here Friday to look over the local
mill, and brought the welcome infor-
nation that the plant will be operated
this season. Extensive repairs will
be necessary, due to the fact that the
mill has been inactive for long time
and the equipment has been permit
ted to suffer from neglect. The 90
foot iron water tower collapsed a few
weeks ago, resulting in the total
demolition of both the tower and the
20, 0O0-gallon tank which is support
ed, and subsequently the big smoke
stacks were taken down to avert a
possible similar accident. Mr.. Wright
is not prepared to say just when the
mill will be in shape to begin work,
but he is certain it will be operated
this season.

event of repetition of the offense
their licenses will be revoked.
