Forgotten, Poet is
Brought to Light
By Bundle Bee


The editor Of The Bundle
Bee, like most people of cul-
ture and refinement, loves
beautiful poetry. His soul Is
delighted by = graceful meter,
perfect rhyme and rhythm.
In our ramblings through the
green valleys Of poesy," we
have made something of a
study Of the various great
authors. We are we'll ac-
auainted with the works Of
Shakespeare. Longfellow, Ten
nyson, Byron. Whittier.
Homer. Virgil and numerous
others.
Now we have discovered a
new poet. apparently unknown
to the general public, Yes, we
thrill with our accomplish
ment like an astronomer who
finds a new star. We find
that this poet has written
some very fine things, beauti-
full in their thought and feel

rhythm and the perfect rhym-

line.

Material Alteration.

1t Is made apparent that plans which
were under consideration some months

by reason OF the surprising development
OF the CZecho-Slovak movement In Rus

cred possible action in Russia this force
OF Czecho- Slovaks had hardly been
heard from. 1t was the first idea to
have any military force subordinated en-
tirely to the plan to sending a commits
sion to offer assistance.
But with the rapid extension OF the
Czecho- Slovak movement and the mill
tary successes attained by its leaders
President Wilson is known to have be-
come impressed with the Importance OF
giving military aid in some way TO the
movement a possible fuicrum FOR the
Czecho-Sovaks. and lIe saw In this
whole Russian plan.
This explains the reference to the
military aid to be rendered to The
Czecho -Slovaks, particularly with re-
spect to safeguarding the territory In
their rear.
1t is known to be the hope OF officials
here that with Americas purpose nov

will receive impetus and assistance from
the Siberian population and the Russian
people, and II is regarded here as well
