POEM BY HERvEY
A WAR CLASSIC

On the editorial page of The Jour
nal this morning IS printed a poem
by Harry Clayton Hervey, of the Of
feers Reserve Corps, who is in PEN
saco.a visiting his uncle Charles b.
iferyey.
So unusual in rnany respects is this
verse by Mr.. Hervey that some special
mention IS merited. Aside from its
composition. which reveals infinite
care it strikes boldly into a new field,
ard not the least of its effects is a de-
Cfded shock, shock of war, an impress
sion gong only to show the fidelity
Of the poets portrayal.
As an inpressionistie bit Of verse il
compares fayorably in many respects
with Poe's Raven, and has the distinct
advantage of achieving an effect
through sheer force, without relying
upon mechanics.
With The Carton as an introduc-
ton to the work OF Ar. Hervey, the
forthcoming publication of book of
verse by him is watched with more
than usual interest.

BRITISH ADMIRALTY
CHANGE IS SENSATION

London, Dec. 27-The prominence
given to the retirement OF Admiral Sir
John r. Jellicoe as first sea- lord in
favor Of Vice Admiral Sir Rosslyn
wemyss in the morning newspapers,
is commensurate with his great repu-
tation and the place he long has held
in public estimation.
Several newspapers treat the an
nouncement as sensational surprise
and two or three accompany their re-
marks with warm expressions OF re-
greet. The Daily Telegraph calls for
a fuller OFFICIAL statement and the rea-
sons for Admiral Jel1icoe's retirement.
The Daily Chronicle also regretfuliy
recalls the swell-founded public con-
fidence," in Admiral Jellicoe ana
hopes those responsible for the change
have been guided wisely in their de-
cision.
On the other hand the Daily Mail
which long has campaigned aginst Ad-
miral Jellicoe. says it cannot pretend
regret.
The Times though less frankly out
spoken, does not conceal its satisfac-
ton, and sees in the change the de-
termination Of the government to
give younger men a chance.
There is generally expressed expec-
tation that the first sea lords removal
is only the first Of series OF changes
and it is evident that II expectation
is not fulfilled, there will be great
dissatisfaction in many quarters. In
this connection criticism of the ad-
miralty administration are reiterated.

vanced to account for Mr.. Young's
failure to return TO the launch. One
is that he lost his way and is wan
dering along the beach between Fl.
McRae and Perdido bay. Another is
that he miscalculated the distance to
Pensacola from the spot where he
landed and, upon arriving here. de-
cided to remain until the following
day. While Mr.. Morgan is fearful
as to the fate of his friend, many
who are familiar with the country

there is little reason to believe that
