POETIC LICENSE'

WYE MUST not take too seriously
w what President Wilson says
of dire results to America
following a possible rejection of the
German peace treaty.
1t will be recalled that he at vari-
Gus times has said
That we are too proud to fight"
That we would not send troops
into Mexico"
That the adoption of woman suf-
frage was necessary to the win
ming of the war;
That the election of a Republi-
can Congress would add two years
to the war
The President would have made a
great poet. He has such wonder
full Imagination, uses so many fig
ures of speech and never hesitates to
employ what versifers politely term
poetic license"

Literdru Notes

A half dozen very beautiful and
interesting books for children of
varied ages are promised for publi-
cation during September and Oc-
tober by Z. p. Dutton & Co. OF
particular interest and charm be-
cause of its remarkable illustrations
will be "A Chinese Wonder Book"
by Norman Hinsdale Pitman, who
has made English versions of famous
Chinese stories for children, the
stories to which hundreds of thou
sands of little boys and girls in silk
pantaloons and tunics with pigtails
hanging down their backs have lis
tened with wide-eyed wonder.
Among them are such fascinating
tales as why the Dog Hated the
Cat" The Talking Fish" The
Nodding Tiger" The illustrations
are to be twelve very beautiful
plates in color made from paintings
by a Chinese artist named Ii
Chu-t'ang.
There will be an addition to the
Little Schoolmates" series, which
grows rapidly in the favor of young
readers. There have been published
already ten titles, each illuminating
for young American readers the
life of some other nation by means
of an interesting story of children
in that country. The new story will
be about the children of Italy and
will be called THE Cart of Many
Colors." Mamma Laville Meiklejohn
is the author and Miss Florence Con-
verse, of the staff of the Atlantic
Monthly, the general editor, of the
series, has written for it another of
the understanding and sympathetic
letters with which she prefaces each
volume.
Jewish Fairy Tales and Stories"
contain a collection of stories from
various Jewish writings animated by
the old spirit of the race. The
translator and editor, Gerald Fried
lander, has retold' these stories in
a modern setting.
Eleanor Farjeon's Singing
res for Children" will be a book
Of dramatic games with music, dc
signed for acting by young children,
and is likely to prove popular not
only in homes where there are a
number of young people. but especi-
ally in schools, settlements, churches
and the like.
For the little tots Carine Cadby's
Puppies and Kittens, and other
Stories will afford the greatest
pleasure with its tales about small
animals and small children and it's
thirty-nine illustrations from photo
graphs by VIII Cadby.

FALSE FEARS

" HE President evidently fears
the rise of Bolshevism in the
United States, or he is wilfully
playing upon the nerves of timid
people in order to gain supporters for
the Peace Treaty.
If the first, he simply marks him
self as silly; if the latter, he is guilty
of reprehensible political methods
DO you honestly think that none
of that poison has got into the veins
of this free people?" he asked in
Des Moines the other day. And
do you honestly believe there is any
danger of Bolshevism in America ?'
If you do, or do not, support the
Peace Treaty and. presto, we sup
pose, your fears or your hopes Will
be dispelled. You pay your money
and you take your choice.
But the question persists - does
Mr.. Wilson really believe what he
apparently intends to imply? And
either way one answers a bad taste
remains.
We, as good Americans, know that
the country is not going to turn Boil
shevist. We have no foolish notion
of trying in this country an expert
ment that has brought ruin, murder,
robbery, outrage and starvation up
on Russia, and which is on the wane
even in that benighted country.
The President ought TO know that
too. and knowing it shuld not in
ject false arguments into his Treaty
talks; but if he does not know it
he is wholly ignorant of the spirit
and temper of the American peo-
pie.

BY his passionate championship OF
labor and his strenuous advocacy of
Home Rule for ireland, he was
the idol of these groups, and As

in the cabinet. Growing in radical

between himself and Mr.. Asquith'a

is no doubt that Lloyd George was
reaching out for the reins of pow

compelled a change in his plans as
in everything else.
