WILSON LOYAL To
OPPRESSED: SAYS
ALL MUST BEFREE
WHEN WAR ENDS

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 19.-
President Wilson has rejected the
Austro-Hungarian governments offer
to conclude an armistice and nego-
tiating peace on principles enunciated
by him and has given notice that mere
autonomy for Austria's subject rs
tionalities is no longer acceptable;
that they must have liberty.

be good TO quote the series, but we must
content ourselves with one and have Sc
lected Cymbals:
"They trust me with the cymbals.
They do well.

I hear the strings,
The wood wind and the brass, their call.
Their calling rises like a wave

Above the rolling drums-I strike!
Like shields of warriors clashing in the

While il will be generally agreed that
the musical group is the most original,
there will be found imaginative and pleas
ing effects throughout the book.

lection Of what may be termed "news-
paper verse;" written by Denis Me-
Carthy. 1t is much the sort Of poetry
that Edgar Guest writes so profusely and
has nothing distinctive or memorable
about it. Good old fashioned, servieeable
verse it is, with an occasional didactic
poem, such as Not "Cant" but "ViH,"
giving you the feeling that it has been
written in great quiet and content by the
Preside after the evening meal. Mr.. Nc
Carthy has very evidently been spared
the strange and eerie throcs which we
think of poets as suffering. and the result,
to be unpoetical, lacks "kick."

which most of the verses are wrlttep rs
well as the spirit to lsrGe extent under
lying them:
Without aid Of soaps, or sweet smelling
lotion,
Each day do battle in the clear CrotOn
water,
Remaining submerged for long, that my
body may absorb its invigoratlng prop
critics,
Stretched at ease-singing to myself-or
exercising for mere delight in untram-
mclled dction;
After which / walk, breathing deeply the
fresh air, caring not whittier 60,
Or sit meditating, the sunshine playing upon
my loosened hair;
And thus do I pass my time, careless OF
those intellectual pursuits that once en-
crossed me,
For although he whom my soul loves is an
adept at many arts,
Understanding well the euphonistic tongues
of the Orient
And fain would | converse Complementary
with him on these subjects,
Yet well do | know that neither skill, ac-
Guircment, nor any native excellence,
Can prevail over the heart of man like the
possession of physical beauty.

A LARGE number Of poems by Char

very suitably under the title Desire and

love, spiritual and physical, but chiefly
physical. Like one of her sister poets

never so simply, Charlotte Eaton medi-

published in that paper, have become
regular features Of newspapers through
out the country. John Oxenham has
been called ''the poet laureate of the war"
by some Of his 100000 readers, and the
title, The Fiery Cross, gives the keynote
of his new book. He believes that the
soul Of the world is being purged of evil
by the war and large proportion OF his
poems are expressive of this belief.

his prose as well as in his poetry, and
your pleasure in Reincdrndtions has much
the flavor of that found in reading Here
Are Ladies, which will be remembered by
every one so fortunate as to be familiar
with it as one Of the most delightful
books of short stories imaginable.
These poems are TRANSACTIONS in some
eases and in others bubbles Of verse
blown about phrase or line to use Mr..
Stephens's own expression. from the four
Irish poets, Godfrey Heating, O'Raftery,
O'Bruadair and O'Rahilly, all of them
beggars and one, O'Raftery, blind. With
one anonymous selection and another
from Pierce Ferriter these make up the
collection.
y sombre but exquisite example of
what MIR. Stephens has done in the case
of O'RahiIly's verse, which he has de-
SPARED of translating but has used as he
desired, is Inns Fal:
"Now may we turn aside and dry our
tears,
And comfort us, and lay aside our fears,
For all is gone-all eomely quality,
All gentleness and hospitality,
All courtesy and merriment is gone;
Our virtues all are withered every one,
Our music vanished and our skill to sing:
Now may we quiet us and quit our moan,
Nothing is whole that could be broken; no
thing
Remains to us of all that was our own"
James Huneker has called Mr. Stephens
"a genuine Irish genius, one in whose
heart there boils and bubbles fantasy and
tears, the irony that burns and bitter
sweet humor that is mad The fantasy
and tears will be discovered in Pegoy
Mitchell, after "O'Raftcry," but which in
its present form can no longer be called
ORaftcrys:
AS lily grows up easily,
In modest, gentle dignity
To sweet perfection,
So grew she,
As easily.
"Or as the rose that takes no caro-
Will open out on sunny air
Bloom after bloom, fair after fair,
Sweet after sweet;
Just so did she,
As carelessly.
"She is our torment without end,
She is our enemy and friend,
Our JOY, our woe;
And she will send
Madness or glee
To you and me,
And endlessly"
War poems by Amelia Josephine Burr
make up The Silper Trumpet. Not blood
and thunder poems, but quicter ones to
serve as inspiration and challenge for us
at home. They are not, with a few ex-
ceptions, worthy of this author, who has
done really fine work, and serve to
strengthen our belief that book of poems
by one author dedicated to a single pur-
pose can scarcely fail TO be disappoint-
ment.
There is one poem, The Letters, already
rather widely quoted, which is among the
best thongs that Miss Burr has done, and
several which would give to a miscella-
neous collection the note that is overdone
in this volume. A Poet Enlists has no
dedication, but will find one in the heart
of almost every reader:
"And all the songs that l might sing -
Madness to risk them, SO you sayf
How is it such certain thing
That can sing them if / stayf
"The winds of God are past control,
They answer to no human call,
And if lose my living soul

The Burglar of the Zodiac

IF we didn't know Gertrude STEMS
i poetry we should be inclined to think
William Rose Benet's unconventional, but
since she has shown what can be done in
the way of real raving, we must consider
The Burglar Of the Zodiac more leniently
than we might have in the years before
Tender Buttons made its appearance and
free verse became rampant. The best
thing TO do is to take such poems as these
humorously, but Mr.. Benet makes it very
hard by adding weak and halting rhyme
to his already overburdened verses. In
The Quick Lunch Counter, for example,
the rhyme is perhaps the most unpleasant
feature. We quote the second section:
Clerks crunch q roll or two.
Pimpled statesmen spread
Raw mustard on their bread.
Small tradesmen, with bowl or two
OF milk and crackers floating,
Sean scare heads black and gloating.
And cultural foreign Goiees
Dispute mid other noises
Meanwhile his bow Apollo poises,
Loosing swift cleaning dreams:
There would be relief in having one
musical and human sort of poem to provo
to the reader that the man who chooses
to infict all this unpleasantness can really
write poetry and is just doing this for
fun, but no such proof is to be found. 1t
may be that Mr.. Benet has kindred feel
ing for the people in his poem entitled
dsylum and fears to risk even brief So
journ among the real poets This is very
much the best poem to be found IN the
book, but it is too long to give more than
the last two verses:
So one wears crown,
One piles his gold in rows,
One balances q feather
On the end of his nose.
One s a sword swallower,
One mumbles One Two Three.
And all in our asylum
Are unhappy as can be.
For, you see, the whole trouble
Though we re absolutely mad)
Is, we fear a strange sensation
We have sometimes had.
So sometimes we huddle close
And clutch at heart and brain.
For III tell you what g the trouble:
We're afraid of going .
