N7HEN it is ended how shall return
w And gather up the travelled threads
again
Ut my past llfe-content once more to earn
My daily bread in drudgery and pain?
THAT have been one of the fellowship
Of those who dare the dangers of the sea
And known the lift and swing of big ship
Surging, full-power to action under me-
THAT have heard shells scream and seen
men die
Laughing, as if the war were but a
game;
And known the lust of battle; seen the sky
Filled, end to end, with whir!ing sheets
of flame.
and felt my veins, long coursed by slug
gsh blood
molten fire;
These have | known and l have found
them good
Can | to any lesser heights aspire?
THAT have seen Aurora's pallid spears
Defantly shaken in the face of
IIeav'n
And felt that thrill of beauty, close to
tears,
That flowers deep in the heart when,
low at even,
Out of the Western sky of palest green
When all the sea is hushed and trem-
ulous
That first bright star CLEANS forth
pure, pale, serene,
Touching the waves with silver
Hcsperus.
THAT have seen Gods fingers paint the
dawn
In bars of rose and flame upon the East
And watched the night-mists as veil
withdrawn
Fretted with gold and pearl and
amethyst.
THAT have seen the hill-high, smoking
surge,
Burst at our bows in rainbow-tinted
spray,
And heard the taut shrouds moaning like
a dirge.

The ''Zone System and
Magazines
and
McCLure's

4 CALL to right the wrong done the
"A magazines of this country in "a
levying of the zone system of revenue
taxes in the recent war revenue bill is
made by Rex Beach in the current issue of
"McClure's Magazine" Pointing out the
value Of magazines in keeping the Amer-
can public Informed on the war, Mr.
Beach says of the bill, in part:
son its face it purported to be merely
war tax on magazines and newspaners-an
effort to make them do their bit toward
financing our struggle to make the world safe
for democracy. In reality, it was perhaps the
most amazing, the most shameful piece of leg
islation that has occurred in our time and it
dealt death blow at that very democracy in
the defence of which we have put on our
armor
This zone system Of postal rates means
the end OF the national press OF America and
will result in a sectional press 1t means the
end Of the homa readirg circle, mas much as
it carries a death sentence 10 the majority of
American magazines. 1t spells the destruction
of a splendid educational force and effects q
censorship second only to that of Germany.
1t will result in the ruin of American writer's,
and it constitutes threat leve!led at the vast
reading public Of this country.
This new postal rate upon magazines and
periodicals. will make the cost of Transports
ton to subscribers in various sections of the
United States almost prohibitory. Most OF
the great publishing houses are in New York,
Philadelphia or Boston. A few are in Chicago
and other parts of the Middle West; few
are on the coast. No longer will magazines
and periodicals sell for the same price in the
West and South as in the East, for the war
revenue bin increases the postal rate no less
than 900 per ce-t for those Western and
Southern sections Of the United States"

Omitting the Black Fla

THERE was a great connection, not
SO many years ago, over Thomas
Hardy's failure to give his Tess Of the
dUrbervilles" happy ending. Tess, ii
was vehemently and somewhat hysterlcaLy
declared, ought to have been pardonec AT
the last monlcnt-just in time to annul the
need Of the hideous black flag. But, ac'
cording TO an ailusion to this affair IN
"The New York Sum-" Thomas Hardy
stood out stoutly and serenely against all
such petitions.
"No," he replied, gravely shaking his
head. 1.-The optimistic living happy ever
after always raises in HE l greater hor-
ror by It's ghastly unreality than the hon
est sadness that comes Of logical ana
inevitable tragedy. The murder that less
commits is the hereditary quality, to when
/ more than once allude in the book, work
ing out in this impoverished descendant
OF a once noble family. That - logical.
And, again, it is but a simple transcription
of the obvious that she should make rep
aration by death for her sin. Many
women who have written to me have for
given Tess because she expiated her Of
fence on the scaffold. You ask why Tess
should not have gone off with Clare and
lived happily ever afterward.' Don't you
see that under any circumstances they
"ere doomed to unhappiness? A sensitive
man like Angel Clare could never have
been happy with her. After the first few
months he would inevitably have thrown
her failings in her face"

Nine. Namara's Recital
NILS singer, who sang programme
Of songs at the Princess Theatre
Tuesday afternoon, impelled Pitts


Sanborn, in "The Globe" to declares:
"A stone-deaf man would find a song re-
cltal by Mrs Namara delightful But to a
man with open ears the beauty of the singer
the wonder of a frock of many colors built
IN the oblong hoopskirt manner, the harp
slchord and the floral tributes were only a
part Of the pleasure afforded by her recital.'
In The Evening World" one read that
her voice has quality, her enuncation is
clear, her art is unmistakable, and her per-
sonalty is gracious"
Her programme contained three SONGS
by composers who were all in the audience,
namely, La Columbia" by Kurt SCHNEIDER;
II Am the Wind" by Florence Gcre, and
Meath the Stars" by Rudolph CAM.
These songs were all repeated and so was
manuscript song with cello obbligato
by Lady Poldowsky.

Current War Poetry

Can go back to smoky towns and gray?
With dirty streets and sordid offices,
And stupid talk in trains with stupid
Oh, every rustic of the dusty trees
Will bring remembrance and regret and
pain.
I'll think hear the whisper as the bow
Shears deep into the phosphorescent sea
And, lifting, drips pale fire and green. Oh
how
Can life be ever as before to me?
And will your kiss delight me as of old
Whose lips have felt the seas salt.
fierce caress?
Oh, shall find your love-making grown
cold
And wearisome your talk and tender
ness?
And long and long for the gray, open sea
And the untainted wind upon nv mouth.
To know again the infinite, deep peace
Healing my soul like cool rain after
drouth.

The address was read by Sir A.

are really slowing up the process.
We believe that we can serve YOU
better now by reverting to our for
mer policy of shipping exclusively
through the jobber, and, effective
Immediately, no more drop ship
ments will be made.
While we have put on a night
shift and have, thereby, about dou-.
bled our production, we are still
unable to fill our back orders and
won't be able to give each jobbet
all the VapoRub he wants. Hence,
it will be necessary for the jobbers
to continue distributing VapoRub
in small lots only. But we will be
able to furnish each jobber at least
twice the quantity of VapoRub that
he purchased for the corresponding
month last year, so there should
not be any difficulty in your get
ting your pro rata share.
We feel that the public appre- y
ciates the service that the retail
and wholesale drug trade have rem.
dered the country in this time of
stress, We wish to express to both
branches of the trade our thanks
for the kind cooperation extended
us in our efforts to meet this emer-;

Argonne. The men of the Twenty
ninth, also in the Argonne often
sives, were next and composite
battalion of the Seventy-seventh
Detachments of the Eightieth, who
were in the fighting at Verdun last
October, and attachments of the
Eighty-second followed.
The review was brought to an
end by long train of ammunition
wagons, dragged through the mire
by the inevitable army mule. who
seemed to be the least interested
of all, and company of Is whippet
tanks, which slowed and skidded
about in the mud and made every
one wonder how the man inside
must feel in battle.
At the close of the review General
Alexander stepped up to the stand
and presented Mr.. Wilson with one
of the little silken statues of lib
erty, which the men of the Seventy
seventh wear on their Shoulders to
denote their division.
Dinner Plan Changed.
The president and party then re-
entered the motor cars, going to
Christmas dinner with the officers
of the Twenty division, COM
posed entirely of New England
troops. Dinner was served in one
of the empty wards of an old
French hospital several miles away.
1t had been the presidents wish and
plan to dine with the troops them
selves, but in the crush of arrange
ments something went wrong and
the plan was not carried out.
The president seemed to enjoy
the dinner none the less. 1t con-
sisted of army bread without butter,
roast turkey with dressing, boiled
onions, French lettuce and coffee
without cream All was served in
the simplest style and with little
ceremony.
The headquarters band gave the
president four ruffles and four -four
ishes when he came, and when he
went away he simply waved his
hand to all, and with a smile said;
well, goodbye. Hope to see you
again soon"
From dinner the president went
on a tour of billets in the nearby
neighborhood, all of them on the
road returning to Chaumont, and
inspected personally several of the
places where the men live with old
French families, some of them in
matched huts.
The president told those about
him that he had passed through the
greatest day of his life.
The French thought it was a
great day for them and the Ameri-
cans were sure It was no less great
for them. All the American troops
in the vicinity who were not con-
cerned in the review were someA
where to see what was going on.

Line Extends Six Miles.
Under the shadow of the New
York shore, 800 yards apart, the
bridge of STEEP extends six solid
miles from Fifty-fifth street to Fort
Washington park, where, in revolu-
tionary days an iron chain was
stretched across the river to bar the
progress of hostile craft.
A touching scene was enacted
in the main salon of the Mayflower,
where Mr. Daniels welcomed his
guests. Among those invited to
witness the review from the presi-
dental yacht were the wives of naval
officers home at last after IS months
service in foreign waters. If the
officers devoted no more time than
courtesy demanded to paying their
respects to the secretary before
greeting their wives, Mr.. Daniels
showed no disposition to chide
them.
Rodman Leads Parade.
The reception ended, Mr.. Daniels
and Admiral Mayo landed, entered
a machine and drove to the head
OF the long column of sailors formed
on Broadway. Rear Admiral Rod
man led the line on foot.
With detachment of marines at
its head, the colun moved down
Broadway to Fi,y-ninth street,
crossed to Fifth avenue and then
swung down that historic thorough
fare. At the public library Mr.
Daniels and Admiral Mayo left the
line to take their places with the
other members of the Maytlower's
party, who had preceded them to
the reviewing stand.
Following the marines were pla-
toon after platoon of sailors from
each of the ten ships which came
home today. Each contingent ca
ried the ships flag at its head and
each received round after round Vt
applause.
Fully 10000 men were in line and
in many instances dogs taken aboard
in England as mascots, scampered
along with their shipmates, gaily
decorated with American and Brit sh
flags. After the parade the men I'M

This was costly, but it solved the
