THE NEW BOOKS
"Gems of Chinese Verse;

The first attempt that has been
made to translate Chinese poetry into
English is contained in Gems of Chin
ese Verse, volume with translations
by w. j. B. Fletcher, British Consul
+ at Hollow, China. The poems appear
in both Chinese and English. The
translationS are all from the Chinese
poetry of the Tang Dynasty from 61S
to 905 A. d. And it is not a little
creditable to Chinese civilization" /"
says the author, that such refinement
of thought should be current at a per-
iod when the ancestors of Europe
were Overrun by German barbarians,
and the Scotch perhaps had hardly
abandoned cannibalism. The poems
are essentially sketches of Nature
written by true lovers of China's
grand scenery, amid ruins of famous
dynasties and the memories of immor-
tai beauties. A strain of Buddhist
mysticism adds in places its belonging
for the Unseen, the Unseeable. One
finds in them the Sun, the Moon, the
Stars, and the wind of the heath,
brother There is no clatter, noise,
steam, or hurry-the authors float in
sailing sanpans, noiseless save for the
rippling beneath the prov, through
scenes peaceful and calm. The white
clouds pouring like icing down the
mountain side; the gulls and herons
gliding white against the sky; the low
boom of a temple gong in some tree
hidden glen; the quiet labors in the
plains below; the village smoke curl
ing upward in the temple of Nature
as placidly as incense spirals about
some Buddha's knees-all combine
here to form China's great ideal, great

Missouri will have an opportunity tC
vote at the November election on
Statewide Prohibition. It would be
a fortunate thing for the state if it
would put the wet and dry issue out
of politics and the saloon out of bust
ness by adopting the constitutional
amendement proposed The amend
ment has but five sentences, as fol-
lows:
Section l. The manufacture of
intoxicating liquors is hereby pro-
hibited in this state. except for me-
dicinal, scientific or mechanical pur-
poses. The sale of intoxicating Ii
quors is also hereby prohibited in
this state. except for medicinal. scien-

ing away of intoxicating liquors is
also hereby prohibited in this state.
except for medicinal. scientific or me-
chanical purposes. The manufacture
or sale of wine for religious and sacra-
mental purposes is also excepted. This
constitutional provision shall not take
effect until Nov l. 1919"

charm-Peace The very poems on
the subject of war dwell only on its
disgusts. There is no girding up of
the loins to slay. no enthusiasm for
destruction; no great greed for wealth
or possessions; no social distinctions
of caste. There is just human life
protrayed in terms of Nature. For in
the Cinese language there are prac-
tically no abstract nouns, and for
such the Chinese has borrowed terms
from his one great Master-Nature
Thus Love is typified by Spring with
its wealth of bursting flowers and
sweet STRINGS of the sap; old age
growing upon US by Autumn with its
falling leaves and sere complexion"
The volume is published by the Com
mercial Press, the large Chinese press
of ShGnkhai, and is extremely credit
able geographically.

BERLIN INTERESTED IN CZAR
Possibility Of Imperial Restoration
Seen I'm Treaty.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
BERNE, July IA Cby maiD Repeat.
ed reports of the assassination of the
former Emperor Nicholas of Russia
have brought out statement in diplo-
matte quarters that the German au-
thOrities took care to guard as far as
possible against the assassination OF
any member of the former imperial
family, by a secret article in the Brest-
Litovsk treaty.
This article, as discussed in diplo-
matte circles, required that the per-
sonal safety of the imperial family
should be safeguarded by suitable mil
itary and police guards, and that their
future surroundings should be in keep
ing with the dignity of their former
position.
1t was in accordance with this prOVi-
sion it is said that the Red Guard,
which formerly had charge of the i'm
perial family, was changed to guard
of LettOnians in whom special con-
fidence was repOsed.
The prevailing diplomatic view here
is that the interest of the German au-
thorities in Nicholas and his family
was something more than humanitari-
an, and fOresees the possibility of Ger
man support, for an imperial restOra-
tion in Russia, if that should eventual
ly prove an effective part of German
policy in Russia.

SPEAKER CHAMP CLARK

The whirligig of politics bring.
queer results. A few months age
Speaker Champ Clark was the sub.
ject Of much ridiculs and abuse be-
cause he preferred volunteer to a
draft army. Cheap politicians OF his
district decided that he should be de-
feated even ii one of them must be
nominated in his stead Time went
on, however, and the cheap politicians
discovered Mr.. Clark was much more
popular than they thought. He has
been renominated for Congress, with
out opposition, in his own party, and
even the opposing party had no one
in the primary against him. This in
teresting result prompts the Washing
ton Star, an independent Republican
newspaper at the nations capitol, to
make comment:
Champ Clark is worthy of the COM
pliment his fellow citizens OF the
Ninth Missouri District have just paid
him. He Will not be opposed for re-
election. Both Democrats and Repub-
licans are desirous that he shall sit
in the next House. In his case, there
fore, it is all over but the shouting,
and at the close of election day the
shouting, we may all be sure, will be
CT hearty and sincere character.
As the district is Democratic, a
Republican campaign would have been
mere mOtion-making. But the Repub.
licans have often made the motions
This time they will forbear. Mr.
Clark's position is such that as its
representative in Congress he gives
distinction to the district; and the
Republicans share in the honor.
The Democrats had three good rea-
sons for their course:
I'D Mr. Clark stands for their prin-
ciples, and has served them we'll They |
have repeatedly weighed him in their /
scales, and have never found him
wanting And at this time the value
of an experienced man in legislative |
commission is very great.
"(2) If the next House is Democrat
ic Mr.. Clark will again be speaker, and |
his party friends, at home and else
where, will rejoice to see him in the
chair. Although shorn of the power
that was formerly attached to it, the
office is still one that attracts; and Mr..
Clark has been filling it excellently.
"(3) If Mr. Wilson should not desire
third nomination, or if developments
in the next two years should make a
third nomination undesirable for his
party, the field for Democratic aspir-
ants will be open. What entrant
would at the outset hold over" Mr.
Clark? He still retains much of the
personal popularity which gave him
the lead at Baltimore six years ago,
and to this has been added the good
feeling that always goes to a good los
or. He accepted defeat on that occa-
sion with the best grace, and has sup
ported his party loyalty ever since.
"Nineteen-twenty, therefore should
find Mr.. Clark in very good shape pO-
litically. If not Speaker, then, he will
be the most prominent minority men,
Der of the House; and if the field for
the Democratic nomination for presi-
dent is open he will be an entrant
with many of the friends who support
ed him in 1912 still in the humor to sup
port him again."

 Then we had what we called our "cOme-alOngs." These are strands Of barbed wire about three feet long, made into a moose at one end; at the other end, the barbs are cut off and Tommy slips his wrist through a loop to get good grip on the wire. If the prisoner wants to argue the point, why just place the large loop around his neck and no matter if Tommy wishes to return to his trenches at the walk, trot, or gallop, Fritz Is perfectly agree able to maintain Tommy's rate of speed.
