excellent craftsmanship. Dickie Dow, U. s. r.,
tells the story of the youngster who became First
Lieut.. Dowlington and gave orders to the older man
who looked after him and bossed him in college.
Once Dickie gripped his friends arm. He looked
away. 1T ought to be me, instead, " said Dickis.
Then came time when
The enemy pushed US and trampled, as lay
there waiting for death,
When felt an arm underneath me and Dickis
Dow's gasping breath H
Now steady, old pal and we II make it, lifting me-
that's what he said,
Good God!' there were tears in his boyish eyes:
1T ought to be me instead"
Interspersed with the soldier poems and in a lit
tie cluster at the end of the book are the poems
which tell of city ways, written mostly before the
author began to tread company street.
Divine sometimes, in a stanza two, photo
graphs scenes for us. Excitement in the Barracks
and can American Port' are examples of this
aspect Of his poetic gift. 1t is gift, distinctly.
We should like to herald it widely for though the
verse of Private Charles Divine is known to the
thousands who saw Gas Attack in 1917, to the
thousands who read THE Sun and to magazine
readers less generally his real audience has
yet largely to discover his work
He writes not for the thousands but for the tens
and hundreds of thousands He is the poet Of
brave and simple hearts, saying the things they
need to have said for them and to them. Not only
for his sake but for their own joy and deep salts
faction we hope they may find him, every one.

Nothing could be DETER than the blending of phil

last two lines:

truly for that we shall make bold to assert would
be an impossibility.
Poetry Straight From the Heart.
In the half hundred or so poems gathered
under the engaging title City Ways and Company
Streets will be found many uncommon qualities,
but the greatest of them all is the unstuded accent
of words coming straight from the heart, the heart
of soldier, young unaffected, in high spirits and
only occasionally little sad. Sad9 No, that s not
the word thoughtful" is better.
These are poems for everybody because there is
in them what everybody sees, feels laughs at, muses.

Gated almost perfectly On the technical side Divine
is rarely at fault Often he surprises you by high
skill Take the last stanza of When We Come Back:
"When we come back, remember . the
things we planned to do
The little house upon the hill with room enough for
two,
The easement with the ivy, the road winding track,
The little house upon the hill, and and
when we come backl''

Divine, True Soldier Poet
Young Bard Of the Twenty Division u S. A. Offers His
C Ways Company Happest

HE happiest verse of America at
l. war is contained within the
covers of City Ways and Company
Streets, by Private Charles Divine,
Twenty seventh Division, U. S. A. In
all the books of poems by Americans
in khaki that have appeared so far
there has been nothing like IT, 1t is
the happiest book of its kind in both
meanings of the word; for not only is
Divine more cheerful than the others,
but his work is more felicitous.
Something of his felicity as poet
is known to readers of Books and the
Book World to which he sent verses
toward the last Of his stay at Spar
tanburg and while he was waiting for
the boat at an American port. The
poem which has first place in his new
book is At the Lavender Lantern, a
bit Of Renaissance, merry and visit
full, gentle and humorous, which first
appeared in these pages. The pub
fishers have done well to print part of
it on the jacket of City Ways and
Company Streets, for it epitomizes
the spirit of the book:
81 wonder who is haunting the little
snug cafe,
That place half restaurant and home,
since we have gone away;
The candled dimncss, smoke and talk,
and tables brown and bare
But no one thinks of tablecloths when
love and laughter there"
The "candled dimness"l In two
words Divine has prisoned the atmos-
phcre of such places. The poem is
notable for simplicity of emotion and
an equal SIMPLICITY in uttarinO IL.

had ga moment doubt that guns can
kill"! Quick as a fash the mood van
ishes, but no more quickly than Divine
can erase it.
Of humor, the rollicking kind, the
witty kind, the humor that is con-
tagious> and the humor that puts
something laughable before us and
lets us discover the fun-of this the
book has aplenty. Sometimes the
merriment is a prelude to dead earn
est, as in the case of the South Caro-.
lima darby whose chant makes q
chorus for A Song For Darker Days:
81 gotta rainbow wrapped aroun'
NAH head,
An it ain t a-goin' to rain!"
Sometimes the laugh comes from q
literal record of fact, as in A Cook
Named Andy. Andy is little proud
of not having to take the setting-up
exercises all the others must go
through each morning. He has
"No drills to make, no calls to an
swer-'ceptin that Of pay
An none o. them cosmetics that they
do to start the day!"
The reader of Divine starts the laugh
himself when he comes upon the
second stanza of Verses to q Mule:
GA mule skinner is Jim, and you
ought to see him drive:
The wheelers balk and, tatue-like,
they scarcely seem alive;
The leaders semi-circle til they
prance at Jimmy's feet,
And Jimmy leaps politely up to
tender them his seat"

THE FULL LIFE

Colonel Roosevelt once said, while
looking death in the eyes: i have
lived full life. ! am satisfied"
1t is not the span Of our years
which counts. How much have you
lived? How have you lived? Have
you tasted sorrow? If 50, well; for
life is made up Of sorrows, kind deeds,
love, tears. In order to live fully
we must experience each of these.
TO live fully we must each day
learn some wisdom that is helpful.
If we would live fully, we must assist
another with his burdens; for gentle
sympathy is the open sesame al the
gate Of love. We must hide the faults
Of friends, refuse to listen to the tale
of the slanderer, exalt Wolnanliyad,
adore the truth, worship God And
God may be found in the smile of
the little child, in the heart Of the
wayside flower, ii the widows tear,
II the glory Of The sunset Or the tu-
mult of the storm
We must keep our hearts attuned
70 I'LL that is good and beautiful and
helpful if we would live fully. When
we attain to this harmonious plane,
i matters little what the score ii
years may be, long o. short It mat
ters nothing how lone we live; il &
Of vital Importance how We live

to know where your money went
They say that Red Cross supplies have way of

Italy surely has found us not wanting in prompt

And Roumania- they said no allied nation could

But the Red Cross found a vey.

In the Red Cross there is no high salaried bureau

the higher officials and nine enths of the workers are
