rub elbows in his book with "The Congo and The Santa Fe Traail,' Carl Sanburs of Chicago, strangely sweet, strangely savage, deserves intuition; Witter Byn- ner and Johnh iHall Wheelock, finished lyrcists, cannot be omitted. These seven illustrate the diversity of locality, or method, and of result, of our modern poetry.
 Among the women the pure lyric note predominates. Sara Teasdale, Margaret Widdemer and Edna St. Vincent Millay sing polished and poignant songs; Grace Hazard Conkling is always graceful and lovely; Mary Carolyn Davies has the permanent naivet of a child. Amy How ell is the most versatile. and some think, the least poetic, of them all; technique ga per cent, inspiration almost zero Bril- liant metrical exercises, with never sim eerity, and never inspiration.

ESPIONAGE CHIEF
 CAUSE OF WORRY
 IN IRELAND NOW
Residents Complain That Both British and Sim Feiners Are Equal
 Offenders

Dublin, May 15.-(Reciprocal News SerV- ice)-The shootings and burnings that are going on at an alarmingly increas- ing rate are bad enough, but they are nothing to the average citizen compared with the constant war of espionage ana counter-espionag that invades every home. Nobody knows when his turn may not come to be visited by one or the other of the contending forces
 In this war of spies the British gov ernment forces are or appear to be, more active than those of Sim Fein. The military are sent out in tanks and lor- ries in the small hours of the curfew period, with lists of houses to De searched. They themselves being mostly strangers to Dublin, can do no more than proceed to the house indicated and turn it upside down. Orders as to arrests vary in various cases. Sometimes there is an, order to arrest a named person, sometimes to take every man (which 1n- cludes boys of sixteen) found in the house-occasionally merely to search Tor arms or seditious documents.
 These lists of "suspects" are compieo with great elaboration. Some of them are very old. They are lists or houses which at the time of the rising were suspect. Many of these houses have since changed hands, but whoever keeps tho lists is quite unaware of this ana many ludicrous things have happened, 'h- cluding the arrest of feeble-mindeo gentleman who happened to have ac- ouired the house of "reber' and who astonished his captors by bursting into tears and declaring that he was de va lera and didn't want to be hanged! An English lady and her, son-innocent ol all connection with Irish politics-Were raided under similar order by young officer who was astonished to recognize in the son a schoolfellow and brother officer of his.
 So it seems that houses have their fiie' in the detective branch of the castle IF addition to this, almost every man wh' has appeared at all in public places has his own file-often a very thick ore Friends of mine who were able to get be hind the scenes have been shown the de tails of their own past lives for ten ol fifteen years neatly written out; appi cations for permits Ca permit is needee for almost anything in modern Ireland { or passports involve reference to thes' files. and sometimes the applicant, if n' has a friend in the office, as often hap pens in this chaotic Dublin, is privileged while waiting to spend an interesting hal hour browsing on the details of othe peoples misdeeds. A minor official one told me the exact thickness of his owl file!
 The facts in these dossiers are, as rule curiously accurate, but the inter pretation put upon them is highly col pred and often ludicrous. Thus mai
