GERMAN COMMANDER HAS ESTABLISHED
 A DICTATORSHIP

LONDON, June 21.-General von der Goltz, Commander of the Ger man troops in Lettland, or Latavia, one of the formerly Russian Baltic Provinces of which Libau and Riga are the chief ports, has established a virtual dictatorship in that coun- try under the preteRse that he is fighting the spread of bolshevism among the Lette, according to the Reuter- correspondent at Libau.
 About the middle of April Baltic German troops which had been op- erating in Lettland against the Rus sian Bolsheviki were withdrawn from the front back to Libau and, under the direction of the Baltic Baron Manteuffel, executed a coup d etat, overthrowing the Lettish provisional government and arrest ing the Lettish cabinet. Premier Ullmanis however, evaded arrest and found an asylum under the pro- tection of a British mission which was backed by the presence of a British warship in Libau.
 The correspondent asserts that this coup d. etat Undoubtedly was carried out with the connivance of von der Goltz" It will be recalled that one Berlin newspaper has ad- mitted that the movement was the result of an intrigue conducted by the German barons in the Baltic provinces who, it is said, had SUD- piled the money to maintain Ger man troops at Libau.

A Best Thriller
History of 77th Division
Makes a Striking Volume

HISTORY OF THE SEVENTY SEVENTH
DIVISION. Designed and written In the
field. France Published by the Seventy
seventh Division Association, New York
Price, $3.50.
One Of the six best thrillers Of the
year--it is safe to make the predic-
tion-is this autobiography of New
York City's division. The authors had
the tremendous advantage Of personal
experience-a few weeks before they
set themselves to the literary task they
were serving with their comrades in
gun-pit and funk-hole--and so have
written a story Of vivid interest.
At Chateauvillain, in the Department
of Haute Marne, to which the 77th had
moved after the signing of the armi-
stice, this history was compiled from
the divisional records, maps and the
tales of the men themselves.
The epic of the advance through the
Argonne-related, as it is, by the men
who were there = would be sufficient
to justify this volume. Yet the decora-
ticns cannot pass unnoticed There are
striking illustrations in khaki and
black and many official photographs
and maps and an elaborate cover built
around the insignium of the division.
Altogether it is a fitting memorial to
the heroic work of the 77th.

New Manner in
Verse of Evans

IRON1CA. A book of poems by Donald
Evans. Published by Nicholas l.. Brown.
Price, 81.
Five years ago Donald Evans could
very we'll have been given up for lost
1t Is all the more welcome that he
should have come to something. 1t Is,
in fact, almost miracle that a poet
whose fate attempt was nothing if not
to tie HIS verse in knots and keep all
his meanings sacredly to himself
should write a long verse narrative
such as "At the Bar"--the first in
"Ironica"-in which simple story Is
simply told, with tenderness and pas
sion aplenty but without the vestige
Of an insincerity. There is perhaps
less to be said as to substance for the
second long poem, "Before the Cur
tain" 1t may be fakish poem; 1t
may be the meticulous observation of
fakish actress. But though it is
exquisitely written IL fails.
In the shorter verses there are MANY
splendid things. There is, for ono
thing, an almost tragic kindliness.
Thorc is vision, and there is form.
Ono or two Of them are SO beautifully
artless, In effect, that they might have
been said casually to some friend on
front porch som where In summer.
He would have been fortunate friend.

whether any of the kind and competent
critics who shower adjectives of praise
upon Mr.. Noyes, the poet, really in

do we feel that Mr.. Noyes completely
succeeds. That is the "Songs Of the

Red Of Surley "
Fresh Idea in Novel by a
Young Author
RED OF SURLEY BY Tod Robbins. Pub
lished by Harper & Bros 334 pages.

RED OF SURLEY. BY Tod Robbins. Pub
nshed by Harper & Bros. 334 pages.
Price s1.50.
Though written in prose, this review
is hymn Of gratitude. Mr.. Robbins,
by the unusual twist he has given an
old theme in his new book, has lifted
from our shoulders a great depression
which settled there as result of
those poor but proud sons who rose to
genius solely because of the Oppressive
environment in which they were born.
ked--so named for the usual reason
is born in Surley of fsherfolk who
cannot understand why any sane per-
son should want to be poet. His en-
vlronment is barren of all those SYM
pathles and aids to aspiration which
poet ought to have. In fact, Red
achleves manhood in just such a spot
which has heretofore made genius, and
which, in this case, breaks one.
Apprenticed to German dentist,
whose delight is torture of the weak
whether through the electric grill or
the tlendish suggestion of an unwhole-
some mind upon slower intelligence
Red struggles to get away from the
sluggish contentment of Surley, to find
some channel by which to achieve a
greater usefulness than pilot to fishing
parties. In a crippled friend he meets
the one ray of sympathetic understand
ing which lights his long struggle.
This friend directs his reading from
dime novels to some of the great novel
lists, historians, biographers and poets
OF note and established reputation.
Eventually, however, even this friend
takes his deformed body and kindly
heart to another city to establish a hos
pital for cripples, and Red cannot cope
with the rejection slips which come to
him. Finally after two years in which
every magazine in the country has been
favored with sample of verse which
the author and the cripple tell us re-
fleets no mean ability, Red stacks his
hundred or more slips in pigeon hole
and settles down to the life of fisher
man in Surley. The book leaves him
engaged to girl lacking in magma
tion or any aspiration other than that
of a good housekeeper and fsherman's
wife.
"Red of Surley" is thoughtful piece
of work from young writer His
youth is apparent in certain labored
passages which tend to overwriting;
in the use Of ALTERATION whenever he
slips into description, and a cumber-
some structure when attempting de-
tached philosophical comment. But the
story is a good one, the characters we'll
drawn and the theme interesting, even
IT somewhat unconvincing in it's out
come. The cripple is an unusually ap-
pealing figure, and the German dentist
perhaps the most successfully and
cleverly rounded character in the novel.

THE NEW MORNING. BY Alfred Noyes
Pp. xi-17a. s1.3o. Frederick A. Stokes
Company.
1t was Rupert Brooke's fate to be-
come symbol of British youth beau
tiful and casually triumphant. The
symbolism overwhelmed his product
and his poems suffered from an over
enthusiasm of praise deserved by his
personality, undeserved by his verse.
somewhat similar fate has overtaken
Mr.. Alfred Noyes in this country He
has become an institution, a most well
come guest of our ally, England; artic-
ulating for US all, in verse and in
lecture, that old faith and newer
friendship which we feel for our
stanch comrade in the war. He has
become Poet Laurete of the New Alli-
ance. 1t is as such that he writes and
as such that his works must largely
be judged.
All his recent verse of this character
is included in this volume and it is
moving and we'll worth the doing. "The
Avenue of the Allies" celebrates our
most beautiful scene Of the war:
Flags in themselves. are but rags that are

public and Motherland" after entering
New York harbor at daybreak. "Prince-
ton" begins with the inscription for
the first joint memorial to American
and British soldiers who fell in the
Revolutionary War. 1t is all occasional
verse of high order, displaying Mr..
Noyes's craftsmanship and soundness
Of technique at their best. We are
deeply grateful to Mr.. Noyes for his
preservation of these occasions in ad-
mirable, stirring verse.
1t is only when one turns to the
other poems and withdraws for the
moment to review his work as a whole
that the old doubts arise and will not
be downed. There is nothing lacking.
There is emotion, there is philosophy,
sound and consistent attitude toward
life, whether one agrees with it or
not. There is very great skill in
verse form; there are living words
and phrases-occasional There is
that certain roundness, a balance of
elements, which may arguably be urged
as the last test of highest artistic
achievement. Yet we cannot for a mo-

Boyd Cable has done for the men of
the British flying service through
print what Henri Farre has accom-
plished for the air fighters Of France
with oils and canvas.
There is little plot in the eighteen
sketches that comprise "Air Men o.
War" and less dullness. They are
written with spirit and a sure, color
full touch: Through them runs the boom
OF the wind against veering wings, the
below of racing motors and the rattle
Of machine guns. Once or twice Mr..
Cable lifts his books from the usual
epic sweep OF his stories into the dra-
matte. "A Good Day." which is also
a good story, is an example of this,
though it limps to a close through a
page OF unnecessary moralizing.
The author lays himself open to the
charge at times of deliberately derail-
ing his stories to dispense morale to
the people at home, for his book was
written while the war was still going
full blast. More than once. the usually
straight, true run of his tale is lifted
from the tracks by the intrusion of
exhortation and advice to those who
arc tending the home fires. One tale,
"Ths Sequel" which translates the
strike of airplane workers in England
into terms Of the battlefront, is propa-
ganda, quite plainly.
For the most, the stories are filled
with sound and movement. There are
few who can describe twenty times in
one book the attack cf fighting plane
and yet make each roaring, fame
squirting plunge as vivid as does Mr..
Cable. Ha sketches the true romance
that Kipling loves--the drama and
color of everyday things-for on the
battlefront the airfghter has become
an everyday thing. Mr.. Cable has sung
airplanes and the man in prose that ut
times is epic poetry and occasional
verse that is much like prose.
His humans are trivial, but his ma
chimes, his guns, his roaring engines,
his tracer bullets, that come cracking
past, pencils Of fame and smoke"
are fine and true. Now that the peace
conference has been an established
fact SO long, treason may not lie in
wishing that Mr., Cable had just once
allowed the Germans to have the
fewer planes in his air battles. A
British fier may be worth several Hun
airmen, but for the sake of contrast
it would be pleasant to read of three
or four British machines joining to
shoot down single German craft.

BANISH CATARRH
Breathe Hyomei for Two Minutes and
 Relieve Stuffed Up Head.

If you want to get relief from cattarh, cold in the head or from an irritating cough in the shortest time breath Hyomei.
 It should clean out your head in two minutes and allow you to breathe freely.
 Hyomei often ends cold in one day, it will relieve you of disgusting snuffles, hawking. splitting and offen- sive breath in a week.
 Hyomei is made chiefly from sooth- ing, healing. antiseptic, that comes from the eucalyptus forests of inland Australia where catarrh, asthma and consumption were never known to exist.
 Hyomei is pleasant and easy to breathe. Just pour few drops into the hard rubber inhaler, use as direct ed and relief is almost certain.
 A complete Hyomei outfit, including inhaler and one bottle of Hyomel' costs but little at druggists every where and at the Clark x Bralnerd Co. If you already own an inhaler you can get an extra bottle of Hyomel at druggists,
