One Of the horrors of war is the
volume of poetry which is emanat-
ing just now from the training camps.

poor old Kip had better get some
alibis ready, so that Judgment day
don't find him held responsible for
the awfulness Of the messes con-
cocted by these amateur poets.
There is hardly a day passes that
the editors mail is not filed with
copies of these poems which admir-

would have printed. But 1t can't be-
