 To Edgar Allan Poe a poem was an objective thing; to Walt Whitman poetry was an act of subjective express sion. Poe would take sounds and mel odies of words almost actually into his hands and carve and model them until he had formed beautiful vessel, and he would take emotions and imagina- tions out of his heart and weave and inlay them in that vessel, and even the crimson out of hi sblood, and finally for "enrichment" he would seek out in his mind the hue of some meaning or moral to pour over it until it was per- feet. And these beautiful vessels he would set forth for view and purchase, standing aside from them like creative trader. proud but no more identified with them than as though he had made them out of thee olors of shells. To Walt Whitman a poem was not thing. His poetry was himself. His meanings, emotions, experiences, love and wonder of life, filled him and he overflowed in anguage-without "art," without purpose but to communicate his be- ing. So he maintained. His poem was never an object to him, even after it had flowed fdll and he sought to per feet it's contours. His cancellations were not often objective Improvements; they were private remodelinss to make the language a more direct and fluent identity with what he considered him self

BOOKKEEPING OF THE LIBERTY LDAN1-By Carpenter

process, of handling. As I looked I was told that the value before me was only a bagatelle of perhaps 0OOO. and the guard in charge lifted up a pack age and asked me to hold 1t. The pack age was as big as a shoe box and it did not weigh more than five pounds %I looked down at the tag fastened to it and saw that it contained coupon bonds to the value of $l0,00o, 900. The bonds were those of the Third Liberty loan and the interest upon them would be $425, ,000 per annum, or almost $1200 a day year in and year out. It was right there that I broke the tenth command ment, but I saved myself regarding the eighth and gave it back with sigh.
 Later on we went down to the base ment, where I went through vaults con taining amounts to which those over head were as nothing. l remember one room walled with steel and divided up into sections by a network of steel rods. The room was 13 steps long, 17 steps wide and three times high as my head and 1t was chock-full of the bonds of the Liberty Loan The securities, 1t seemed to me, were thrown about in the most casual way. Around the walls were shelves containing packages of bonds, each representing millions of dol

| total number of clerks in this bookkeep- ing division is only 100. They do all the work and keep the records and ac- counts right to fraction of a cent.
 This has been possible only by the intgoduction of cost efficiency methods and by new systems of bookkeeping, indexing and mailing.
 Take the registered bonds. They al- ready number hundreds of thousands, and the government has to have a rec ord Of each holder. II must know his address in order to send him his interest every six months, and to be able to tell at glance where he Is and just how his account stands. This is now done by an index card system, which gives the full details of every transaction. Every registered bondholder has his in dex card which shows when he bought his bonds and if from some other party than the government, the name of the seller. The history of every bond from the time it is issued until it is paid can be found on these cards.
 The system is fool-proof, and it has replaced the old method. Down in the vaults of the treasury department are the books containing the records of such accounts of the past. They consist of S5 great ledgers each as big as the top of a tea table and as thick as an old family Bible. They contain the story of the bonds in pen and inlsS The bonds have been paid, but it would take a lifetime or so to get out the facts concerning each individual bond The story of each of the registered bonds of the Liberty Loans is kept upon a card not half as big as sheet of note paper It can be found in a moment, and all the changes and items concerning it's owner are kept up to date. By the old methods it would take at least 5000 clerks to keep the books, and the com plexity of the issues would bring about endless delays and confusion.
 But before I go further let me explain the difference between coupon bonds and registered bonds. the two classes into-~whieh our government loans are divided The bookkeeping division has to keep track of each kind, but it is only as to the registered bonds that it deals direct with the individual holder. No record is kept here of the owners of the coupon bonds. They are payable to bearer. and to each is fastened detach- able coupons of about the size of a special delivery stamp, representing the semi-annual interest. Every six months you clip off one of these coupons, and

Washington D. C. Y7 HAVE spent this week at the treas
 ury department looking into the
 bookkeeping of the Liberty Loans
 It is the biggest job of the kind since Joseph, the Hebrew w. G. Me Adoo of Egypt. kept the accounts of the corn crop and fixed the individual income tax at 20 per cent of the gross income for old Aphobis. the shepherd king. At the close of this drive the bonds sold for the war will have brought in more than Sl6,0O0,o00,OOo. and the an nual interest charges upon them will be in the neighborhood of S700, 100000 The bonds are of more than half dozen de- nommauons, ranging in value rom SD Up to $l0o000, and their holders are mill lions For the first three loans the individual purchases were more than 3l,- o0o000, and it is expected that 25 5.Oo0. 600 more subscriptions will be made dur ing this drive, The total number of such transactions inside the treasury and out of it thus number 56,o00o00, and the bonds they represent are of two kinds registered and coupon They belong to four different seites and some are ex- changeable one for the other. Keeping track of these enormous sums scattered among millions of individuals is a part of the bookkeeping of the Liberty Loans. | The thought makes ones brain boil In the past year the United States has become nation of boolkeepers. Uncle sam now requires everyone of us to put down our receipts and expenditures and If our income amounts to more than S2ooO he wants a big share of every cent of the surplus 10 help pay for the war Each of us knows the work and strain he undergoes in striking his balance sheet. Multiply that a million times and you have some idea of what is go- ing on in one little branch of the treas ury department.
 I say one little branch of the treas ury. The whole department employed more than 5000 clerks in Washington be- fore the war began. It has many times that number today, but the great in- crease has not been in the division which keeps account of the bank notes and has charge of paying the principal and interest on these government loans. The

lars. and inside the network similar packages were piled up much like the bales of cotton in one of the great ware houses of the south On the floor were mail sacks which bulged out with bonds and everything looked to me to be in confusion.
 I was shown, however, that every sack bore it's tag and number and upon a test the keepers were able to pick out any package of bonds on short notice and to tell at a glance where anything was.
 The bonds sent through the mails go in pouches so numbered that any tam pering with a pouch will destroy the number upon it and receipts are given which show what the exact number on the pouch should be when it arrives. Ad- vices as to the bonds mailed are sent apart from the bonds themselves, and the safeguards are such that in all this enormous business not one bond has been lost while in government hands. When one remembers that almost 20o00,000 cou- pon bonds were sent out for the single issue of the Third Liberty Loan and that the registered bonds of that loan amounted to hundreds of thousands he can sappreciate what this statement means
