POE'S PLACE IN LITERATURE
America Has Not Accorded Due Honor
to Her Gifted Son, Is Opinion Of
Hamilton w. Mabie.

A national literature must have
many notes, and Poe struck some
which in pure melodlc quality had not
been heard before. AS literary inter
ests broaden, and the provincial point
Of view gives place, the American estI-
mate Of Poe will approach more nearly
the foreign estimate. That estimate
was based mainly on recognition
Of Poe's artistic quality and OF the
marked individuality Of his work.
Lowell and Longfellow continued the
old literary traditions; Poe seemed to
make new tradition. The art
ist always pushes back the bounda-
ries a little, and opens window here
and there through which the imagina-
ton looks ont upon the world of which
1t dreams, but which II sees 50 rarely ;
and we are not prone to mete out
with mathematical exactness our
praise of those who set US free. II
We lose our heads for a time when
Kipling comes with his vital touch,
his passionate interest in living, the
harm is not great. Poe may have
been over.valued by some of his eager
French and German disciples, but,
after all deductions are made, their
Judgment was nearer the mark than
ours has been; and it was nearer the
mark because their conception Of lit
eratnre was more inclusive and ade-
quute.-llamllton W. Mnbic.

Port OF Germany's Plan To
Make Best Bargain Pos
sible.
By Carl D. Groat

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Sept. 26. - Germany s
latest peace flyer-Hertling $ speech
was dismissed by officials today as
summarily as its most concrete prede-
cessor, the Austrian note.
They promptly branded it insineere
and pointed to the whole course OF
German military and diplomatic policy
fer proof of their claim that this IS
only anotrer German effort to squeeze
out of the war with the best possible
bargain before American forces put
the finishing touches ON the Teuton
dream of world conquest.
Officials said to look at the husslan
situation is sufficient to show that
Gcrmanys glib acceptance OF Presl-
dent Wilson's peace principles is not
from the heart.
The president demanded evacuation
of Russia and abandonment of Teuton
control there. But Germany's every
act, they suggested, has shown clearly
tha tit was aimed at making Germany
master in Russia
In answer to the query. docs this
offer a basis for discussing peace, ev-
en- if il were granted that Hert;ng 3
acceptance of the Wilson terms were
genuinei" officials declared emphatic
ally that it does not.
They said that any peace conference
weuld have to be preceded by an ar
mistice which would include withdraw
al of German forces from Russia, Bel
gium and France.
There is no suggestion that Germany
is ready for such step, even though
that would necessarily be the natural
forerunner of real peace tax.
Hertling's speech causedsurprisink,
lly little comment. The government Is
fully prepared for all sorts Of maneuv,
ers in the German peace offensive ana
lit is gratified that there is virtually
no pacifist sentiment in the country
This lessons the task of officials IN
combating the sinister Teuton moves
| 1t is deemed significant Of Ameri'
can power that Germany now admits
for the first time that she IS ON the
defensive and cup against II. "
