PRACTICAL USE OF POETRY
Without Verse People Would Go About
Isolated From Each Other by
Chaos of Misunderstanding.

If poetry could be In an instant
swept not merely out Of print, but
out of language and tradition, there
would be Babel indeed. We should
60 about isolated each one from each
by a chaos Of misunderstanding, with
no more communication than we could
improvise out of intellectual terms,
says a writer In Century Magazine.
We could suggest nothing, connote
nothing, say nothing but what we
could define. The practical reality Of
that loss one may measure by our
proverbial ignorance of certain say
ages and oriental races whose poetry
is alien to our own. Nor is that all
for poetry Is not alone our common
repository of past experience, but to
a degree far greater than we realize
our source of present action. There
is no need more than to remind any
observer of human nature that man
kind acts rather upon passion than
upon conviction. Brutus demonstrated
his point in prose; 1t was a poetic ap-
peal that made the stones of Rome to
rise and mutiny. We define and de
termlne and decide, and still do moth
ing; but when we begin to feel, some
thing is done.

executed. but that seems to lack
accredited confirmation. She was
of Prussian German parentage, and
while here was accused of pro-Ger-
man tendencies. She left here in
the latter part of the winter stat
ing she was leaving for Europe but
not telling any one her plans. Just
few days before she left [ was in
her store buying a hat, when she
mentioned the fact that in a short
time she wonld be leaving for Eu-
rope. | remarked. Europe is a
dangerous country to visit at this
time. Are yon thinking of taking
up nursing there?" She answered
in a hippant scornful way, mo,
no nursing for me, > giving no furth-
err information about her plans.
We understand she and her brother
were arrested just as they were
boarding a vessel leaving for Eu-
rope, alter having been refused
permission to leave America. In
eliminating papers were found up
on their persons, and through
these, enough evidence was found
to arrest a former prominent doc
tor of German parentage of this
city now captain in the American
army, who while living here was
constant associate of this young
woman. Her arrest has seemed to
bring the war closer than even our
boys leaving for the front.
We had special program given
by our school yesterday in honor of
the departure of the boys of the
second draft. We marched with
flags flying to the accompaniment
of stirring music to the centre Of
the town, and sang patriotic songs
as they were leaving. LS.W.

Kaiser's Slave Slaughter

No one who has any fellow feel
ing for his kind can view the
slaughter drive of the German war
masters without sentiment OF
reprobation for the perpetrators OF
this massed murder, such as has
been felt toward no other set of
men since the days Of Nero and his
fellows among the archfends Of the
Roman tyranny. The men who
are thus done to death are pre-
ponderatingly Germans; the enc
mics of this country. Yet so very
many of these are but dumb driven
slaves, and meet their death as the
inc vitable fact of an existence that
has never been one of freedom.
but always bv the leave of the
ruling classes,
Nothing could so point the hor-
rors and infarualities of autocratlc
rule as this wanton waste of man
kind. This may be felt by Amerl =
cans, even while with vast rage
they view the slaughter of their
own and their Allies forces. These
are freemen fighting for themselves
and for their institutions and for
their fellows under the thrall OF the
tyrants or menaced with tyranny.
They give their lives and are not
robbed of them. And they do
this in order that they may reach
the guilty military commanders
and give them their quietus.
The German drive is not a drive
to victory; this can never be gained
bv the Teutions. It is drive OF
desperation by the gamblers in
blood who have staked the lives of
millions of their fellow Germans for
a dynasty and power that is ne
farious.--Ex.

EsrIy\Use of Metals,

AS compared with Mexico, the tools
employed by the ancient Easter island
ers, though like in shape, are yet more
wonderful when the purpose for which
they were used Is considered. 1t Is
believed that the use of iron was un-
known to the more ancient people OF
the earth; certainly few traces are
found. But among the Mexicans there
Is evidence of red copper having been
fashioned into tools; and although that
is wonderful enough when the usage Is
seen to which the comparatively soft
metal was put, yet still more marvel
GUS are the tools Of volcanic glass
which wrought, carved, cut and CHS
eled the huge images and blocks OF
stone to be found on Easter island. Re
mains of these tools are yet to be'found
lying about the island euarries,

Front.

NOTHING VITAL IS LOST.

London. - The Germans in furious
assaults drove General Plumer's men
off the greater part of Messines ridge,
the northern bulWark Of the British
line.
Wytschaete and Spanbroekmolen
fell, and the enemy won a footing IN
Meteren. Bailleul and the heights to
tie east were lost Monday night.
The enemy advanced on an eleven
nile front, forming the northern side
of the Armentieres salient, to an aver
are depth of about two miles.
The British are clinging desperately
to the western slopes Of Messlnes
ridge. Farther west they seem to be
falling back across the Douve valley
on Mount KENNEL.
A critical point in the battle has
been reached. The defenders are max
irg desperate efforts to Illustrate the
fees evident design to drive in below
Ynres and to capture the important
railroad center, HaZebroucE about SIX
miles west of Meteren.
Between Bailleul and the British po-
s.Iions behind Neuve Eglise the enemy
Won his way forward by throwing into
4 e fray three fresh picked divisions.
Iren enormous forces were thrown
n.,ainst Messines ridge from the south
east, and it was carried by storm in
Tree hand to hand fighting.
The Germans also attacked opposite
tie northeast corner Of the Nleppe
f. rest, but were repulsed. They be-
enl a spirited local operation against
l."yelles, south Of Arras, which at last
a.,rounts had not had much effect, but
,.,S continuing.
\ German Wolff Bureau dispatch
reveals that the location Of the en-
ga.ement in which Americans fought
north of st. Mihiel Sunday was just
southeast of Maizey, on the st. Mihiel-
Iouvrois road. The account says the
allies fought bravely, but suffered
heavy casualties.

ANIMALS ARE GOOD SWIMMERS
Polar Bear, Who Passes His Time In
Icy Waters, Is Regarded Best
Though Not Swiftsst.

Nearly all animals are better SWIM
mers than man and take to the water
naturally. The rhinoceros and hippo
potamus are wonderful swimmers and
divers, while the Indian elephant
crosses great rivers with heavy loads
London Tit-Bits states.
The elk and the reindeer are first
class swimmers. The elk keeps his
head above water and crosses directly
from bank to bank to avoid turning.
The reindeer, on the other hand, turns
as often as he likes, keeping his head
only little above the surface. But OF
all swimmers Of all climes the best,
though not the swiftest, Is the polar
bear, who passes half his time In the
water swimming and diving. Ills
swimming power is nothing short or
miraculous If it be remembered that
the water in the regions he frequents
Is invariably cold and that cold is nor
mally prohlbitive to good swimming.
There are bears that can swim from
twenty-five to thirty miles without
great effort.
One of the swiftest swimming AMI
mails Is the squirrel. A sportsman on
one occasion, having at hand a SPUR
rel born in captivity, which had never
seen water, wanted to see If 1t could
swim and took it with him in row.
boat to the center Of the lake. The
squirrel turned toward the bank, head
and paws above the water, back and
tail underneath it, and began to swim
so rapidly that 1t was with the great
est difficulty that the man recovered 1t
when it reached the shallow water
near the land.
