Happiness in the Soul
written for The Evening Journal
By JAMES 7. CRoZIER

The happiest people on earth today,
Contented both morning and night,
Are those who have Jesus, are on the
way,
And doing their best 10 live right.
That Is JOY you cannot express In
word.
By any v lman or man.
Il Is better 10 feel il. and know It Is
yours,
And doing the best that you can.
You have fought a good tight, have I'M
ished your course,
Such were the words OF Saint Paul,
And you know the Gates viii be open
wide
When you shall receive the last call
That IS Joy, my brother none other 50
true.
Down here In this world OF sin.
You know that is true, for me and for
Some sweet day we shall pass in.
All the gold and the silver here in the
world,
Could not buy what I have today,

In my heart.
Thank God that I am on the way.
That leads 10 that land OF Joy for the
blest.
II I'm faithful that day will come,
When ! shall be there and have perfect
rest.
And with Jesus be safe at home.
II you have not got Him. my brother
friend,
Let him into your heart today
Before you shall set to your journey
end,
There is danger. you know, in delay
While you cannot be perfect, do the
best you can,
Then from sins OF all kinds, you'll be
free;
Happiness in the soul for woman and
man,
Is TO spend with Him Eternity.

AS DRAMATIzED BY BERNARD eHAN.)

From which II readily appears thst
the object OF the drsmatist is TO prove,
not that black is black or white is

Ia the west. nor on the other hand

into thinking that black Is white or
two and two make five. The real pur-
pose Of the drama Is TO present a series
Of incidents 90 csrved out OF lifes col
lisions and reactions as to make the
spectator or auditor unable TO decide
whether black Is white or pale green,
and TO make him certain at various
times In the play that two ana TWO

PREFACE.


Just as am a far better playwright
than Shakespeare, as have admitted
ln numberless other prefaces TO my
PLAYS. 80 ] am a far better nonsense
griter than Mother Goose. Briefly, the
main trouble with the plays OF snakes
pere is the fact that | did not write
them, and the only criticism / can nnd
10 mention regarding the verses OF
Mother Goose Is that ! was not born
IN time TO compose them myself.
/ have shewn-with exactly that
spelllng-that when It comes to ques-
tion OF dramatic skill. knowledge ana
craftsmanship, Ibsen, Pinero and George
NJ Cohan are negligible, Aristophanes
is an amateur and there Is really no
one who knows his business but my
relf For 1t Is the business OF the play
wright TO be brilliant without clever
ness, smart without snobbishness, keen
without sharpness, brief without
aDruptness, pathetic without fearful
ness, luglbrious without lachrymosity,
humorous without comlcality, sly with
out insidiousness. and some twelve or
fourteen other metaphors and slmlles
and comparisons which reveal my
knowledge Of and control over what
we Anglo-Saxons mistakenly denote
the English language. blandly oblivious
70 the fact that II Is a language stolen
from French, German, Irish and Amer
lean sources. Consequently, by exactly
this logical course Of reasoning, no.
body should be allowed 10 write plays
but myself Critics often object that
have no logic, but the fault lies in
their inperfection Of knowledge. NO
body else knows anything about loglc
but myself. and II the critics ideas OF
what Is and what Is not logical do not
agree with mine. II may bother the
critic but Il does not bother me-

BEST DEFENSE OF METZ. |

Believed German Army Is Hiding There and Not in the
Formidable Array of Concrete and Steel
Forts and Bastions.

Invasion of Belgium and France by
Won kluck's army.
Inc latest reports show that while
therc were erected, since 1872, various
outer works before and around Metz
with the names of German heroes of
the Franco-Prussian War and of MEM
bers of the royal family. there has been
tremendous activity within the last
two years in the construction OF
trenches wider and deeper than those
which are the backbone OF the linden
burg line.
1t is evident to the Germans, how
ever. that trenches which were made
90 per cent OF their defensive value IL
they can be subjected to Il flank or en-
tilading fire. This, il is stated to-day,
the Germans must expect, as the cam
paign of Generals Foch and Pershing
Is developing precisely on that line.
Therefore, it is to be expected that
there will be Il gradual advance Of the
armies on line somewhere" between
Ncrdun and Metz, with its objective
greatly beyond the city of Metz. There
viii be local engagements from day to
day, as there were In the approach of
the French, British and AMERICANS to-
ward st. Quentin. The British are now
feeling their way to Il point north by
east Of ST. Quentin. and the plan In
daily development against ST Quentin
Is practically the same as that which
is being used against Metz.
II Is predicted by officials, however,
that there Will be time, probably not
far away, when the Americans and
an assault on the city. after the for
midable trenches which guard it have
been subjected TO a destructive indi-
rect artillery bombardment.

AMERICAN AVIATORS DO

the roads by which the German trans
port must move and these observations
turned out 10 be strikingly accurate,
