POETRY READER GONE MAD.
Wants Professional Verse-makers Killed
at the Age of &c.

Once in while poetry reader goes
mad and tells the world what is in his
heart. / am reminded of this by Fl. L.
Mencken, litterateur and critic. He has
soaked up so much poetry that he now
demands that all professional poets
should be killed ait the age of &c, be.
|eause after that time their product be-
comes sour and critical and impregnated
with bitterness.
The poet who is merely sour and bit
ter does not necessarily deserve the ex-
treme penalty, because the public has
merely to sidestep his work to make it
innoeuous If bilious and bitter poetry
were all the indictments against poesy,
then would the poetry reader S lot be
less unhappy. For myself, | have to
confess distaste for chirpings about
the little brides in the treetops, the
joys of spring without any of Spring s
| rhythm, maunderings, without rhyme,
about the buttercups and the daisies
and next to these is the output of the
lit by tee most atrocious verse, out
kaisering even Wilhelm in violence.
Often and often all the joy has been
taken out of Spring by some poet who
has been trying to tell about it. The
writer may have had emotion, but il
was a blind and halt emotion; and of
ten some poet will sit down in cold blood
without any emotion whatever. and de
liberately ape the style of Longfellov
or Tennyson or Riley upon. some topic
to which he brings entire ignorance
and build mn a wonderful collection OF
words without meaning. Perhaps, scent
ing external evidence, the critic may
sean it for half hour to discover /;
hidden spark of genius that is no
there. Still, death would be an extrem
penalty for this work. Perhaps Their

FOUR CIRCUS RINGS
FULL OF SURPRISES
Robinson Show Next Friday to Give
Splendid Program-Has Fifty
Species of Wild Animals.

The John Robinson circus. billed to
appear in Brattleboro Friday, June IA
is reported to have one of the most com
prehensive menageries of any travelling
organization. Wild animals are very
scarce in America at present, since it
has been impossible to import any for
some time, and very few species will
breed in captivity.
The management of the Robinson
show has had agents at work in all
parts of the country for the past year,
securing all the jungle animals that
money could buy, with the happy result
that there are this season 30 different
species of wild or curious animals in the
well-stocked Robinson menagerie.
Four circus rings overlooking with
ever-changing surprises ranging from
military sights to herds of dancing,
comedy playing and musical elephants.
There are pageants refulgent in all the
extravaganza of brocaded silks and
satins, beautiful allegorical floats and
richly caparisoned animals including
blooded horses to add variety.
There viii be 80 of the most famous
male and female gymnic stars of Ameri-
ca and Europe. There will be widely
contrasted feats of Workmanship to.
gcther with many examples, demonstrat
ing supreme achievements in animal
training. A quadruple menagerie and
hundreds of beautiful horses from the
best stables of both continents.
1t is cmphatically declared that the
comic contingent of this circus is pre-
senting this year the most original a.
well as the most ludicrous creations
ever produced under canvas. Buffoons
Harlequins, Zanzigs, Merry-Andrews
Pantaloons, Jaek-a-D andys, Montleys
and Grimaciers will interpolate flood
of frivolity throughout the program.
Performances will be given at . ant
D. m, and the street parade will leav'
the show grounds promptly at II a. m.

OUR AID HEARTENs ITALY.
Public Holiday Decreed as Red Cross
Workers Come to Este.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ITAL-
Ian ARMY, May 6, Correspondence
of The Associated Press. l-Throughout
Italy, and particularly in this section
near the fighting front, the work of
American relief accomplished by Red
Cross workers has served as a medium
for stirring the spirit of resistance
among the people and soldiers. 1t has
contributed toward keeping them heart
ened for the trials of the war and let
hing them know that America was
united with them in it.
Its,is a work going. on all over Italy,
but here near the front it deals with
actual fighting conditions, in belt of
country lying Just back of the fighting
line, with masses of troops billeted iii
towns, villages and country districts,
and vast wave of refugees swept
south and west from the invaded re-
eions settling down with all their mis-
cry like swarm of loeusts, on the To-
cal communities.
In such a section the work is some.
thing more than one of relief, for while
100000 has been distributed in this
one section yet the main purpose has
been to stimulate and hearten the spirit
Of the peasantry, to arouse their ardoi
and support for the men on the fight
| ing line, and to let them know that
America and all her resources are with
| them to the end.
These provinces of Treviso, Venetia
and Pave lie Just back of the Piavt
| and mountain fighting fronts. Treviss
| province is on the border line, Will
half its eommunes occupied by the enc
my and half by the Italians, and thu
Piave running between the two severed
parts of the province. Every one of tn,
thirty eight Treviso communes remain

Stirring scenes have been witnesse,
in these country districts, as the Ameri
can workers have carried on their worl
under the general direction of Captain
Thwaits, in charge of civilian relief il
the war zone. At Este, for example,
public holiday was decreed, the tow
was placarded with posters announcing
that "the Americans are coming an

dinner with speeches. The same wav
lof appreciation and enthusiasm ha
