PROCEEDS WILL BUY BONDS
Alpha Omicron Club Presents Eminent
American Woman of Letters - Miss
Monroe is Observation-Disclosures
from New York.

MMSSIAlsM&M of Rupert Brooke,
Ems&M who went west at
- the Dardanelles, or
WMS SAY Alan seeger, who
NIdgSsANsWY had a Rendezvous
%a&AM with Death and
kept it smilingly.
Have you ever read the quaint bits of
trench humor, couched in the univer-
sal language of poetry, which speak
so poignantly of soldier wit and
soldier wisdom?
Ii you have you will enjoy Miss Har-
riet Monroe's lecture on '1The Poetry
of the Great War; scheduled for pres
entation at the Park Avenue Metho-
dist Church on the evening of Shakes
peare's birthday, Tuesday, April 23rd.
Miss Monroe is brought to Kenosha
by the Alpha Omicron Club, an asso-
citation which has always stood for Gull
ture and patriotism. The members of
the society see in the function two
fold opportunity. It will undoubtedly
stimulate loyalty by its presentation
Of the war from new angle and at
the same time furnish the club with
funds for subscription to the Third
Liberty. Loan.
I'VE wanted not only to buy bonds, -
said one of the members of the club
today, "but also to persuade others to
do the same thing. That is the reason
we booked Miss Monroe. We believe
that she has different message and
a message that will make an entirely
new appeal in Kenosha.''
Special music will precede the lee
ture and make the evening doubly en-
joyable to people who appreciate mu-
sic, poetry, or patriotism.
Miss Monroe is the editor of "Poe-
try q magazine of verse, published
in Chicago, "loop ,levee, and all. y AS
a poetess, she ranks with Amy Lowell,
Ezra Pound, Sara Teasdale, John Mase-
field, and others Of the newer school
who have made poetry a vibrant ex-
preston of life rather than pretty
succession of rhythmic "words, words,
words Theirs is poetry of ideas,
fresh, vital, and inspiring, a poetry
admirably adapted to the expression
of the tremendous passions developed
by the Great War.
The standing of Miss Monroe's ma
gazine may be surmised from the fol-
lowing tribute recently printed in the
New York Tribune:
''The livest art in America today is
poetry and the livest expression of that
art is the little grey-covered Chicago
monthly. IF you think we are too en-
thusiastic in our recommendations buy
a copy of Poetry and confirm our
estimate of its virtues.''
This is only one of many recogni-
tions accorded Miss Monroe and her
magazine of verse. In Chicago she is
well-lznown not only as poetess and
an editor, but also as the person who
first introduced Rabindra Nath Tagore
to the reading public in the United
States and who knew Rupert Brooke
in the old days before the Great War
called him to the Union Jack and death
on the shores of the Hellespont.

Audience Cheers Speakers and Sub

Similar Meetings Will Be Held
In Other Towns.

VWGE8 -yss&%g shifted from Market
, VS2S32ssss5 sEss9W Square to Brighton
>sess&ss on Tuesday evening,
when Director Char
les @. Brown and competent corps of
aids personally led a great offensive
in the up-county town. The drive was
a complete victory. Every person in
the audience was captured by the Lii
berty Bond soldiers and persuaded to
support the cause by word, work or
subscriptions.
At least two hundred people were
present at the gathering and voiced
their patriotism in national songs as
wen as in the more concrete expression
"I1l sign for s. worth Of Liberty
Bonds"
The meeting was called to order by
John Tigh who acted as chairman and
presented the various speakers with
introductions brimful Of common sense
and "Loyalty First" In all Of his
talks he plead for large, larger, and
still larger purchases of bonds and in
every instance his statements were
thunderously applauded by an audience
of patriots.
The battery Of orators for the eve
ming included in addition to Mr.. Tigh,
Judge Tully, W. w. Hammond, Russell
Jones, and Director Charles G. Brown,
The city judge presented the broad
general phases of the present war with
special emphasis upon the necessity for
funds and supplies. He was scathing
il his denunciations of Prussianism and
again and again thrilled his hearers
with his illusions to the justice Of the
Allied Cause and the stainless purity
Ct its insignia The work so eloquent
ly begun by Judge Tully was ably
"carried on" by w. W. Hammond,
who spoke briefly but forcefully on
the need of action and immediate ac-
tion in preventing a war of unlimited
length and untold suffering.
The more practical features of the
Third Liberty Loan were discussed by
MIR. Brown and Mr.. Jones. The form
er cited the security of investment in
bonds and asserted that banks would
loan money on bonds at one per cent
less than on the best real estate in the
city, country, state, or nation.
Following the speeches of the eve
ming special committee solicited the
attendants at the meeting with sub
scription blanks and sold sufficient
bonds to put Brighton on the road to
victory in the Loan drive.
A similar meeting to the gathering
at Brighton on Tuesday will be held
at Paris on Sunday evening under the
general direction of the Rev. A. M.
Err.
Other towns in the county are lining
ur for the Loan with equal enthusiasm
and are reporting gratifying results to
date. Posters, automobile stickers,
franked pamphlets, and personal let
tiers have carried the gospel of Liberty
to every community within radius
of ten miles of Kenosha and have per-
suaded it to do its full share in ''keep-
ing the glow in Old Glory"
