"PiII Box" Defense.

The 'pill box" defense appeared In
the German lines some time this year,
says the Scientific American. The
"pill box" is the British soldiers name
for a small, round, concrete block
house which contains German machine
gunners. The pill box" appears to
be the smallest of German concrete
defenses, some of which are nothing
short of ~fortresses in every of
the word.
The pill box" strategy, which has
been offset by heavier allied gunfire.
comprises the use of shell holes, trees,
rocks and every other available shell
ter for machine guns, instead of the
old style rows of trenches. In other
words, there is a "zone of defense"
The organization of this zone of de-
Tense Is such that the aerial observ-
ers of the allies cannot detect the in
dividual machine gun posts; hence d.
rect hits by artillery become almost
impossible except by mere chance.

At any time of the day in the Swiss
capital one sees the uniforms of both

Belgians interned in Switzerland. and
according to the rules of the game,
they must wear their uniforms. in or

Ny first sight of a German Fritz

Of surprise. 1t is three years now,
since-in Belgium last beheld a free

saw dozens of men in French uniform
pass other dozens in German uniform.
Each party to these meetings would
look straight ahead, pretending he had

LACK OF PRAISE FOR POETS
Complaint Is Registered That Insult
cient Honor is Bestowed Upon
Living English Writers.

In an article in the BoOkman on
twentieth century English poetry, Prof.
William Lyon Phelps quotes William
watson as complaining Of the INSULT
cient praise bestowed upon living po-
cts and as saying that with n ex-
ception, meaning Kipling, there Is not
a single English poet the sales Of
whose poems would not have been
thought contemplate by Scott and By
ron. with that one brilliant excep-
tion," says Watson, "England's living
singers succeed in reaching only a
pitifully small audience" In com
menting on this passage, Professor
Phelps says:
ave ought to remember that Scott
and Byron were colossal figures, so big
that no eye could miss them. and that
the reason why Kipling has enjoyed
substantial rewards is not because of
his political views, nor because Of his
gloriication of the British empire, but
simply because Of his literary genius.
He is a brilliant and salient exception
to the common run of poets. not mere
ly In royalties, but in creative power.
Furthermore, shortly after this lee
ture was delivered Alfred Noyes and
then John Mansfield passed from city
to city in America In a veritable
march of triumph. Mr.. Gibson and
Mr.. DeLaMare received homage every
where; Riley day is now a legal holt
day in Indiana: Rupert Brooke has
been canoniZed."

A O
ROX

Senator Borah's comment upon the
Presidents reinstatement of peace con-
ditions warns against an over-empha-
sis in this country upon the form of
territorial readujstments in Europe
which peace will necessitate. That is,
as the Senator says, a European vice
which we shall do we'll to avoid. If
we sit at the peace table at all, though,
we shall have to vote upon those
questions as they arise. The Presi-
lent disposes of them in well-rounded
phrases. To Italy he would award
the clearly recognizable lines of ma
tionality'; to the Balkan States he
would allot historically established
lines of allegiance and nationality;
he speaks of the Turkish portions of
the present Ottoman Empire" and of
territories inhabited by indisputabIy
Polish populations" and he pleads for
INC llSSSl oPpOiIuhilJ VI oueOiiohio10
development" for the peoples of Aus
tria-Hungary." Here is a veritable
Pandora's box of problems. No two
sets of scholars, historians, states
men, diplomats, travellers or admins
traitors have ever agreed upon any of
the lines which Mr.. Wilson so graph
cally describes. The peace conference
will be split into energetically debat-
ing groups upon most of these ques-
tons. 1t may fall to Americas rep
resentatives to decide the controversy.

GOOD
SERVICE

Hearings are continuing in the Sem
ate Committee on Interstate Com
merce on the administration bill
giving the President certain powers
over the railroads. including the
guaranteeing of their securities. The
Republicans of that committee r de-
voting themselves to the work of so
perfeeting the measure that it will
meet the approval of the roads them
selves, and not cause them to go to
court after it's passage in order to
protect their property rights. To
throw the billions of railroad securi-
ties into prolonged litigation at a time
like the present probably would do
more than any other one thing 70
disrupt completely our economic
establishment. Such a misfortune
would be an overwhelming embar-
rassment to the Government in the
f1otation of future issues of Liberty
bonds. The Republicans a render
no more patriotic service OF the coun-
try than to so amend the railroad bill
as sufficiently to satisfy the companies
so that they will be content to abide
by its provisions, instead of having
to the law courts.

that of straight gasoline, which shows
80 per cent increased value for the
