Chicago, Illinois loop, levee, stock
yards and all. It is called Poetry
by honest right, too,-and it is edited
by Miss Harriet Monroe.
Poetry has room for everything
that is not just palaver. Even strong
and scornful Philistines, with lifelong
records of hooting at the very thought
of poetry, have been known to find
pleasure in it.
"The Invest art in America today is
poetry, and the h7est expression of that
art is in this little grey-covered Chica-
go monthly.
elf you think we are too enthusi-
astic buy copy of Poetry and cor
rect our estimate.'
Not so bad?-no-and doubly signi-
ficant of the up-to minute merits
of "Poetry" in view of the fact that
it was said in New York about a Chi
cago magazine.
Vignettes from Life.
But the poignancy of Poetry can
never be conveyed by mere comment
OF description. 1t must be read, seen,
ard felt, to be fully appreciated.
By way of illustrating the realism
of it's offerings we reproduce for you
two School-Poom Sketches, written
by Florence Ripley Mastin and borrow
ed from recent issue Of 'fPoetry''.
Each Of them is so humanity natural
that their very reading recalls pupils
you have known in the dim past or the
more vivid present.
The first is entitled "Isidoro. It
reads:
The corner where he sat
Was gnomed with naughtiness.
His nickname was "The Sprat -
His size was even less.
"Poor wide-eared little lad,
So dirty and so bad,
Just once I found your heart
And there were aches in it;
Yet still you play your part,
Elfsh and debonair.''
The other is called "David'', who is
described as follows:
"David, you failed
Yet every face is dim but yours.
EDavid, you failed
Yet still [ see your hands.
you will always fail
You are too big to succeed
In the swift years before death"
Another poem from the same issue IL
lCstrates the subtle humor so frequent
ly found in "Poetry'' It is a fantasy
from the Chinese done into English
by Arthur Valley and called .SOn the
Birth of a Son." 1t reads:
Families, when a child is born,
Hope it will turn out intelligent.
/, through intelligence
Having wrecked my whole life,
Only hope that the baby will prove
Ignorant and stupid.
Then ell be happy all his days
And be made Cabinet Minister. -

L'Envoi.
Time--Another afternoon or evening.
Place - The. public library, hotel
lobby, or newsstand, where you are
looking for something to read-some-
thing diverting something different.
Enter: "Poetry", a grey-backed
booklet, lettered quietly in pastel pur-
pie, green, or blue
Business of glancing once at mag.
azine done in gold and scarlet, think
ing twice of this article, and "pass-
ing up" the 'woozy'', erotic thing
for the less pretentious but more inspir-
ing booklet in gray and green.

Sergeant Frank Lane Has
High Praise for the Effic-
iency a n d Heroism of
His Superior Officer.
BOYS SING ION WISCONSIN"

Lieutenant Vale was one of the
last to leave the sinking 'Tuscania ;
and it was due to him in a large meas
ure that so few of the company were
lost. Everyone says he behaved splen-
didly."
This laureled praise for Lieutenant
Vale is brought to Kenosha by a let
ter recently received from Sergeant
Frank Lane by his mother, Mrs. Frank
Lane of Pleasant Prairie. The COM
ment shows that Kenosha has given the
nation a good officer as well as a good
soldier who feels a commendable pride
in the efficiency and heroism of his
superior commandant.
The letter from young Lane also
gives a vivid description of his nerve
racking experiences on the torpedoed
troopship Tuscania.' He writes in

"When the torpedo struck I was
down in my sleeping quarters just be-
low the water-line and and about thirty
feet from where the torpedo hit. There
was an explosion and the lights went
out. Almost at once the water began
to rush in. Some one showed me against
bunk and as I carromed off of that
some one else gave me push in the
back that sent me well through the
doorway. kept my bearings, turned
to the left and went upstairs to the
next deck.
Here edged out of the crowd and
went up an inside stairway to the next
deck and then down long hallway
that was well-crowded. The stairway
to the next deck was jammed with men

Mr.. and Mrs. Ernst Reed of this
city received WORD from their son,
Ernst now in France that he was
injured in battle some time ago. His
letter is under date of July 80, and
the reference he makes TO his
wounds is as follows:
We'll. your old uncle got his long
expected furlough. but not in the
usual way The boche took things
in to their own hands and cut a
little steak out of my right arm,
but we sure gave them a good clean
ing, they got driven back good
ways. Not much left of Co. G l
guess. The guys were all great"
He is now in hospital and is i'm
proving. The wound has practic-
ally paralized his right arm. but he
says he can move his thumb and two
fingers. The physicians think he

tire arm and hand. Ernst Is a
