First Poet Laureate
In America

The first official recognition Of an
American poet by lawmaking
body came during the recent session
Of tho Legislature Of Nebraska,
when the Senate and the hotA5o
passed joint and concurrent reso-
luton declaring John G. Neihardt
Poet Laureate Of Nebraska. This
official action by great Western
state was taken by way of rccogniz~
ing the significance Of the American
epic cycle upon which Neihardt has
been working steadily for seven
years and Of which "Thc Song of
Hugh Glass" and "Thc Song Of
Three Friends" have now been pub
lished. "The Splendid Wayfaring"
(Macmillan, 1920 is prose work
giving the historical background of
these cpics. Neihardt is now en-
gagged on the third part of the cycle,

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT PARIS.
Tne story OF tho Peace Conference,
fels-Is. BY American Delegates.
ndised by Edward Msnden House and
charles Seymour. Lit. d. Oct- pp,
sse. Charles scribner's sons-
THE title of this book is not
happily chosen. It conveys the
n implication that other books
about the conference have not told what
really happened there, and that an ac-
curate and satisfying account, written
by men who were delegates or official
advisers, is at last being offered to the
public.
The lectures delivered in the Acad-
en,y OF Music in Philadelphia and col
leeted in this volume by Colonel House
and Professor Seymour do not fulfill
the expectations raised by the title
mage. They do not tell the real story
of the conference in any complete sense.
What American readers want most OF
all 70 know is why the American COM
missioners brought home treaty draft
which couldn't be ratified. Who was
responsible for the tragic failure at
Paris? Who contributed most to it by
a instrumentation OF the state Of Amer
lean opinion and who fought hardest
to give the treaty a form which would
have allayed opposition here and have
enabled the United States to psrtici-
pate in the peace settlement on the
same basis as the other principal
Allies?
These questions overshadow all others.
But no effort is made to answer them
in this volume. Most of the lectures
we're delivered, and probably all of
them were written, before Mr.. Ian
sings The Peace Negotiations ap-
peared. With that book discussion of
the treaty by Americans who had
hand in framing it entered new phase.
Mr.. Lansing cast reticence aside. He
attempted to show how and why Mr..
Wilson's leadership at Paris defeated
it's own purpose and brought about the
rejeetion Of the American peace delega-

hOMOROCS GHOST STORIES. Selected
with an introduction, by Dorothy Scar
borough, Ph.D. Published by G r P"t-
nams Sons. :" Ut
~ HOSTS, it would seem, have
n been greatly misunderstood
- They are really companion
able folk and if humans were
not so Eighty and easily scared ont of
ohelr poor wits the shades of the de-
parted would be quite chummv. After
all the reason they hang around is he
cause they have left something undone
on earth, which shows they are com
sclentious and no conscientious indi-
Vloual would willingly do harm. If thew
90 rattle doors and bang tables and
make all sorts of weird noises how
eISe' IN the name of all that's ghostly.
can they attract attention?
What ghosts need is a little sv,r.
pathy. And when they get it there's
nothing they are not willing to do in
gratitude - such as giving warning
when danger threatens or bringing
long lost jewels as a gift for bride
or Kidding man of his rival in a re-
fined, ghostlike way. Indeed, when this
fact is better known, the family with
out ghost or two as permanent
guests will be looked down upon bv
the more fortunate members of the
community.
Such, at least, is the conclusion one
comes to on reading Dorothy Scarbor-
ough's two anthologies of ghost lore:
Famous Modern Ghost Stories and
Humorous Ghost Stories, with their
witty and amusing prefaces bv Miss
Scarborough, that alone are worth the
price of one volume.
To be sure, there are few malcion,
ghosts left and IS Miss SCARBOROUGH
says, one should never make light ~ q
shade. There is for instance. the story
ty W. F. Harvey. "The Beast With Five
Fingers" That ghost started out with
kindly enough feelings toward the man
he haunted. But what decent. self
respecting ghost wouldn't turn re-
vengeful if he were run through with
