Red Lake, MINI.
We certainly glory in the patriotism of those
young men who have enlisted from Red Lake, es-
peciay do we feel that the Red Lake Indians and
employees have been honored by the voluntary en-
listment of Joseph Sumner, John Sumner and John
Needham These young Indians while not affect
ed by draft laws the first to answer the call
of their native country Duty called and herolsm
answered the call. If pride of these young
men is unbounded, our opinion of those among us
who hide behind the screen of being wards OF the
Government and not subject to military service;
is mighty uncompmentary. We have in mind
two young men, members of the Red Lake tribe,
who could their country in splendid man
ner as blacksmiths These men have had spe-
cial training in Fords factory, yet they seem to
lack the back bone and grit to do their bit. There
are others. The most of our readers won't need
any introduction.

War savings stamps come within the financial

The War Savings Stamps which sell for SAP
are redeemabe in cash. but thrift stamp is not.
1t is pointed out by the Treasury Department that
Thrift Stamps not made redeemabe In cash
for the reason that these stamps are simply in
tended as a convenient method for the small sa-
vers to accumulate enough to purchase War Saw
ings Stamps which bear interest and are redeema-
BILE in cash. In addition to provide Tor redemp-
ton of these thrift stamps would involve such an
amount of detailed accounting and labor and ex-
pense as to impair the probability OF their USE
In fact, they would be more trouble ana expense
to the Government possibly than they are worth
It is the purpose of the Government to raise two
billion dollars within the year by the sale OF these
stamps. Thus it be seen what an important
part these "Baby Bonds" playing in the imam
cling of the war.
1t is needless to urge the people of Minnesota to
respond to this call. The way is clear and this
campaign will result in another great achieve
ment for the North Star State if given the same
support which was accorded the Liberty Loan.

ton it is good 10 have. 1t would be tragi-
cal for such interesting primitive express
slons to perish, but at the same time it is
comforting TO be assured that we are not
after all so dense in our failure to grasp
the full meaning and beauty of the poetic
Indian when his own companions cannot
understand him. Miss Austin in her ad-
mlrable preface puts ii thus:
at is in the very nature Of primitive
verse that it should require Interpretation,
even among the audiences for whom it is
originally intended, For verse is to the
Red singer but a shorthand note TO his
emotions, a sentence or two, n phrase out
of the heart of the situation. 1t is the
inside song alone which is important"
How under heaven are We to know what
these things mean when even the Indians
own inside is singing differently? You
would suppose for instance that the in
side of the chief who sings
Death I make, singing
Heh-yeh! yeh-yeh! yeh-yeh! yeh-yeh!
Bones / hack, singing &C.
would be either very unhappy over the
bones or very happy over the singing;
but as a matter Of fact he Is in all prob
ability thinking Of what headdress he will
wear to the evening smoker. Again it
would be disconcerting TO realize that
ones home was being tied up by black
and white snakes, but the Indian sings
on. There is grotesque satisfaction in the
little scalp song,
Il wonder
If she is Inundated,
the Sioux woman
that cut off her head
More simple and pleasing is this tribute
to maple sugar:
Maple sugar
is the only thing
that satisfies me-"

l. Heaven, from which his book of
poems fakes its name, before he became a
soldier, but it is truly the work OF sol
der as any of the Poems Written on Ac-
fire .Scrrice.
1t is a response to the demand for a
working Heaven. a place where one may
find the things he loved in life, and now
particularly a place where a soldier may
find the things he longed for and ex pected
TO have on leaves looked forward TO and
often missed.
''Our dead wanted so badly their leave
in Blighty, wanted it so badly that they
must have it," be SAYS, and strangely
enough this poem, written before Blighty
was even word, embodies its dreams. A
soldier looks upon Blighty as a sort of
Heaven, and so why should he not look
upon Heaven as a sort of sublimated
Blighty'
The poems written on active service are
not only beautiful POLITICALLY, but are
rarely Interesting as showing the reac-
tions of a man with whom the literary
world is already concerned to the horror
and glory of war. Mr.. Hueffer has held
his mind TO the beauty of life in the midst
of death. When he writes Of the Iron
music of the guns" he adds,
But see the Golden Valley

In speaking of his Use of free verse
rather than the more conventional forms

and too tired TO care about pulling the

Some Free Verse by
Eastman and Redman
By CONSTANCE MURRAY GREENE

II An EAS MAN - new DOOk, tOiOTS
1'1 Of Life, includes those of his
poems which he considers his best, brief
essay on the sonnet and a longer one
About american PoetrV, in which he con-
trasts the poetry of Walt Whitman and
Edgar Allan Poe and discusses the rela-
tive values Of 'free" and metricaI verse.
He hkens free verse to love letters (WHICH
are kind of aboriginal free verse"
Il believe it is obvious" he writes,
that most of them are too individual to
be communicated even TO a lover. Human
nature is too various for il TO be true that
the same hcsitations. the same quickenings
and slowingS of the flow Of ideas, flutter
ings Of the breath or pulse, will reproduce
themselves in another upon the perception
of the same visible symbols. And while
this fact may make the art of compost
ton a little monotonous, it is better that
art should be monotOnous than that the
world should And it would be q monot-
onous world in which different people
were so much alike, or We ourselves so
much alike at different moments, that
these minute filigrces of feeling should be
altogether durable and capable of being
served round in paper and ink"
These essays are as good as anything
that we have ever had from Mr.. Eastman,
but great deal of their weight Is viiiated
by the poems which follow. People who
write critical ESSAYS on art should hest
tate long time before following them
with examples of original work. The
poetry of Max Eastman in no way ap-
proaches his prose and so it is mfortu-
nately placed in this instance.
His is curious imagination which finds
wantonnesS and croticism on every hand
and provokes verses about small tapering
flames of passion which become heat, lash
ing around him from the floor, and young
women who lie naked and abandoned by
the willows. Sometimes one is refreshed
by a vision of simple and natural beauty,
though the others are natural enough in a
sense and occasionally we see the repul-
sive strength Of his power TO eEnbOdy a
revolving image as in the following lines
which he calls In Ra Cross Hospital:
To-day I saw a face-it was a beak,
That peered, with pale round yellow vapid
eyes.
Above the bloody muck that had been lips
And teeth and chm. A plodding doctor
poured
Sop,a u-atar fbrou0b n y1,i, h,T,-. bola
He made in the black bag OF horny blood.
The beak revived, it smiled as chickens
smile. .......-
The doctor hopes he'll find the man a
tongue
To tell with, what he used TO be-"
The nine sonnets which follow the short
essay are technically weak and badly
rhymed in the main and his explanation
that what he gains in rhapsody moro
than compensates for any sacrifice, is not
wholly satisfactory.
If The Path on The Rdinb0ir, an anthol-
ogy of songs and chants from the Indians
of North America, TO which Mary Austin,
Natalie Curtis, Washington Matthews and
many another authority has contributed
and which George CROWN has edited, were
composed wholly of ancient native chants
and songs it would have more value as an
attempt TO preserve the fragments Of
vanishing race And even with the mod
