Among the beautiful Poems" con tained n the Richard D. Wares little volume, which is entitled "Rediscov- cries." is the following:
 THE HARBOR Through centuries across the seas Thy harbors silent lay In solitude of forest trees Where beast and bird held sway: A lani unknown, world apart From warning kings and creeds: refuge for the sore at heart Awaiting freedoms needs When forth in ships our fathers sailed, Men valiant to be free, They found at last, thy havens hailed, The Grail of Liberty. Beneath new skies they raised the
 shrine
 That all the world mlght seek, And seeking, find the light divine Fall on both strong and weak. Thus born. so shall my country live, And deathless. never die While her brave sons their lives shall To serve her destiny.
 Her starry flag exalts the right: Her voice proelaims the law: Her hands upraised ins righteous might Shall strike her foes with awe.

carry out the poets plan as nearly as pos sible, as Swinburne might have done it.
 One reason why SWinburne never brought out such a collection was his fail ure to find an artist who could interpret to his satisfaction the simplicity and freshness of his verses. Arthur Rackham whose delicate and romantic fancy is in sensitive harmony with Swinburne's, and who understands, no less than he did how the face and tire voice of child are assurance of heaven has given eX- quisite interpretation to these flowers of the poets imagination.
 There are s5 of the poems, from "A Birth Song;'

 Where no dreams laugh or weep,
 Borne through bright gates of birth Into the dim sweet light
 Where day still dreams of night. >
 While heaven takes form on earth. . ' through such studies of child life as "Etude Realiste. Grade Songs. First Footsteps" "A Child Future" to Sunrise"

capital Of the Gallo tribe of Xtrebates
inithe time o. Caesar. Later the capt
it;ileof Artois, Arras is now the chief
city of the department of iPas-tie-

Arras was invaded in 1914, wheniher
grand palace and petit palace were de-
stroyed by bombs. The great cathedral
was absolutely cAattered, as well as
the railway station. Not one house
was left intact. Just .one' of the former
inhabitants, an old woman, was left
there. Although 1t teemed with mill

MUCH u. S. FARM
MACHINERY IS.
SENT TO BALKANS.
Shortage Of Live Stock Forces
Increase In Demand Of 49,
ricuIturaI Machines In
Europe.

saloniki. May 7.-(By Mail.)-
Large eonsignments of American
agricultural machinery has been un-
loaded here for use in Macedonia
The motor plows are badly needed
on account of the death of horses
and oxen which the Bulgars carried
of with them. In the last six
months the American Red Cross
has been instructing Greeks and
Serbs in the use of modern farm
machinery and American methods
of soil Improvement and now farm
crs are being given the opportunity
to buy implements at advantageous
prices.
King Alexander of Greece is
much interested in American farm
Ing machinery. Recently a large
consignment of agricultural ma
chinery and implements arrived in
Athens from America. The con-
alignment comprised all classes of
power machinery and a considerable
number of motor plows. King Alex
ander viewed these plows at the
Athens Botanical gardens. At his
request two or three of them were
net to work in an adjacent field, at
tfacting from first to last his special
attention. Later these American
machines and implements were ex-
hibited at the Zappeion, the large
exhibition building in Athens used
during the war as hospital. There
they were visited by landowners.
farmers and the general public.
The Greek government shipped a
number of these motor plows and
other implements to Eastern Mace
donia and Thessaly to be used for
the spring cultivation. In addition
thousands of ordinary American
plows are being shipped into Mace
donia. To pull these plows the Bull
garians finally agreed after much
discussion to deliver 700 draught
animals per week to the Greeks in
.recompense for the tens of thou-
1ands of animals taken by the Bull
Iarian army in Thrace during the
war.
.. .. Owing to the fact that farmers
throughout the Near East cultivate
pnly small tracts, small size
american machinery is in greater
demand than the heavier machines.
With the possible exception of har-
ycsters. Only large owners can af-
ford the large blowing tractors.
I The American Red Cross has
Brought in about 800 American farm
wagons and later these wagons and
the many small American automo-
biles now being used in the Near
East will be sold to the farmers.
The Near East is in greatest need
ri means of transportation and
larming machinery and Americans
IRE now meeting this demand.
