She always says,

Among the five things we do not un-
derstand is the dual literary person
ality Of Miss Clare Hummer. Miss
Runners prose has a feathcry, mis-
chievous poeticalness; her poetry, to
our notion, is the Interest prose, COM
parable only to the kind of words that
go with so many of Mr.. Jerome D.
Kern's songs, such as "And Pm GER
tainly going to tell them" The songs
in "Chinese Love" and "The Choir Re-
hearsal," up at the Punch and Judy
are no advancement on Miss Kun
mer's "Dcarie," the high poetic point
being "a wonderful thing has come

The Coming 77ower
THE REvENANT

Tho bluchirds paused upon their south
ward way,
To feast upon latc berries through the
day
The birds that brought tho ancient red
man cheer
Because they made him sure that
spring was near.
With coming dusk, gentle rain be-
gan,
Light, warm and soothing; from the
ewes it ran
As in that Chopin Prelude; no wind
blew.
And, as hardened to tho rain, knew
The birds told truth; for Spring last
night once more
Strayed lonely o'cr the hills she loved
of yorc,
Mourning her lost green joy. Be-
hold, a tear
Clings where she passed along the
garden-here,
On poor bud that wakens not, nor
knows
How fair thing it is to be q rose.

The German Way

The Germans, fortunately for the
rest of the world, are laundering
diplomatists. They may understand
their own psychology. But they are
lost when they try to grasp the
psychology Of other nations. In the
German attitude toward alien peo-
pies there is no happy mean between
cringing and buster. And the Ger
man manner is fatally maladroit,
whether it is intended to be lamb
like or lionlike.
Lloyd George said at Birmingham
some weeks ago that Minister
Simons had won his respect at Spa.
The British delegates, at least,
thought him intelligent and honest.
There was chance for him to
strengthen the good impression at
London and to lay the foundation
for workable reparations under
standing with the Allies. He ap-
peared to have with him consider
able body of English opinion, the
opinion voiced conspicuously by
Keynes and the Liberal and Labor
press, which, for commercial and
other reasons, favored "soft"
peace and speedy economic restora-
ton in Germany.
But Minister Simons and the gov
ernment for which he spoke COM
pletely misjudged the situation at
London. They couldn't comprehend
the value of further show of good
faith and moderation. They over
estimated their successes at Spa and
rashly figured on submitting an ulti-
matum, instead of accepting one,
with some minor abatements. The
Simons proposal not only disgusted
the Allied plenipotentiaries, but it
sent all the Keynesites and "soft''
peace sympathizers scurrying to
cover. Hardly a voice has been
raised in England in behalf of an
offer which corresponds pretty close
ly to the reparations total which
Keynes and his followers were not
long ago describing as fair and rea-
sonable. Some American mild rep
aratlonists are apologetically ex-
planning that Germany has offered
terms near enough to Allied demands
to permit discussion and adjust
ment." But at the same time thew
are filled with dismay at Simons's
inept and irritating methods.
Germany has, in fact, again re-
united the Allies. Out of direct con-
tact with her spokcsmen, the Allied
leaders have often wavered and d.
vided. But whenever the German
attitude toward the peace has had a
chance to reveal itself in all it's con-
temptuous obstinacy Allied dissen-
sions have been 3bscured. 1t is the
German way, the same old German
way. The Germans were unfortu-
nately banned from the peace table
at Paris. 1t is clear that we could
have had better peace if they had
been there to keep the Allies always
alive to the necessity of unity.

Milton: Both death and I am

Byron: "To rive what God and

Kipling: "The tumult and the
shouting dies"
Had all these writer's, and many
others, a grammatical blind-spot on
their brains? asks John O London's
Weekly, in it's current number. This
astute weekly contributes to "an old
and recurring discussion" with the
following:
"Were they-these masters Of ex-
pression-united by common search
after something in the alchemy of
language above rules Of grammar?
(John @ London) think they we're.
l think they used a singular verb
with a plural nominative for a pur-
pose, and that the reader who has
taste and perception can see their
aim and approve the means. / sug-
gest that the following proposition
might be used Us a kind of touch
stone: The singular verb Is more in
tense than the plu1Gl verb.
Thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory Here is is superior
to arc because it suggests by antici-
patton the attrbution of a single
thing-the all not merely the
things that are about to be named.
To say, Thine are the kingdom, the
power, and the glory is less compre-
hensivc: it savors of enumeration.
Enumeration suggests the ability to
enumerate and the right to withhold
1t is weaker ascription."
Very interesting, and no doubt
correct. 1t is not necessary to blush
when approving Or disappearing an
English precedent in our common
English language. Our racial con-
troll over it is quite as strong as
theirs, possibly stronger, since we
are greater in numbers and more
we'll, peripatetic. In the end we
shall probably do far more to guide
the development of the language than
they. Certainly this land has not per-
nitted the old tongue to go wander
ing in corrupt pastures as have the
provinces Of England, where dialects
Of shires have so hardened, due to
an avoidance of itinerancy, that
neighboring county folk sometimes
find it difficult to understand one
another.
At any rate, innovating Chicago
may claim that so far it has not
strayed from orthodoxy.

NauaL Secrets

NGuaL Secrets
The Navy Department not only with
held from Congress and failed to con-
slider in its building program the demon
strated facts concerning the submarine
in the World War, but it held back in
formation OF vital Importance concern
ing certain actual tests and accomplish
ments with bombing and torpedo planes
that should be seriously considered in
connection with naval building, as fol-
lows:
/. Effect of 900 pounds of TINT
exploded on the deck of the Indiana.
This explosion penetrated three decks!
1t blew the topsides off the ship! 1t
would have destroyed the fire control
and electric light systems, leaving the
battery unmanageabe and the ship in
darkness below decks. This one bomb
would have rendered the ship useless
in an engagement.
2. Experiments in bombing from a
height of 1000 to 5000 feet in which
10 per cent of direct hits were made
in the old Indiana, and 80 per cent Of
hits within a space equal to that of
the deck of the new Indiana.
3. An actual experiment in Eng
land, where eight torpedo planes flew
thirty-five miles over the land behind
a smoke screen, attacked a British
squadron at anchor and scored six
hits, two Of which were in the ad-
miral's flagship. The planes returned
in safety.
These and other facts were with
held by the Navy Department. Mem
oers of the General Board and bu-
reau chiefs declared that these were
secrets" which should not have been
divulged, and they considered them
inconclusive. One bureau chief de-
clared that the effect of the bomb on
the Indiana was only local" An ad-
miral, commenting on this amazing
statement, pointed out that when a
man is shot through the head the eff
feet is 'local." He is not torn limb
from limb, TO be sure. His "back-
bone" may remain. But there will be
comparatively little fight left in him!
The same would have been the case
with the Indiana.
And another bureau chief declared
as condemnation of the bomb that
the protective deck of the Indiana was
not penetrated and that the bomb did
not sink her! True. 1t was not nee
essary to sink her TO make her use
less! An enemy battleship in such a
condition can be, humanely, permit
ted to float! She will be quite harm
less. When we blow the top of a
mans head off it is not necessary to
bury him in order to kill him.
Now it is admitted that the decks
Of our new hattleships and battle
cruisers are stronger than those of
the Indiana. But even so, it must
be plain to any naval officer that such
an explosion, even if it did not pene-
trate the deck. would wreck every
thing above decks, knock down smoke
pipes and masts, destroy fire control
and communication systems, and the
shock, particularly if combined with
poison gas, would doubtless play havoc
with the personnel

Submarines

The governing details as to the work
Of submarines in the World War were
not made known to the Naval Commit
tees by the Navy Department. The fol-
lowing facts were presented by other
authorities:
/. That the overwhelmingly power
full Grand Fleet, reinforced by the
navies of France, Italy and Japan, did
not control the sea in 1916 and 1917.
2. That the German submarines,
manned by 10000 men, nearly won
the war against the navies of the
world manned. by 100000 men--as
the General Board admits!
3. That thirty submarines, en-
ployed daily, and manned by only
1900 men, kept 5000 small craft pa
trolling the sea and nearly starved
England.
Notwithstanding this awful record,
the General Board contented itself by
saying that the submarine was finally
conquered, and so it advocated the aban-

There has never been time in the
history of this country when sanity and
common sense were so imperatively de-
manded in outlining our naval policy.
Naval construction is in state of
fiux; lessons OF the World War have
not yet been fully digested; aviation is
developing by leaps and bounds, and
invention promises so many lnnova-
tions affecting naval warfare that a
calm and searching investigation alone
will prevent possible blunder in our
building plans-a blunder that might
cost us hundreds of millions, with a
weak navy as the unfortunate result.

The 1916 Program,

cost us hundreds Of millions, with a
weak navy as the unfortunate result.
The 1916 Program
The 1915 program is necessarily a
pre-war conception. 1t is primarily de-
signed to give us 1916 navy. 1t could
net be otherwise. To be fair, however,
we will admit that the battleships and
battle cruisers as now designed are su-
perior to any ships that took part in
the Battle of Jutland, and it is possible
tEat the most serious weaknesses in the
capital ship as developed in the World
War have been in some measure cor
rected. Nevertheless, the program as
presented to Congress did not take in
teliigent account Of the war record of
the submarine, nor did it icipate the
part that aviation, torpedo planes,
bombs, torpedoes and mines are to play
in future war. If the Navy Department
and the General Board had themselves
studied and considered these vital mat
ters, there is nothing in the program
is originally presented to Congress
that indicates any purpose but deter
mination to rush the 1915 program
through without reservations Con-
gress was not informed of the improve
ment in weapons that seriously menace
the surface ship. 1t was not until the
department was specially asked by Con-
rreSs to report concerning these mat
ters that the General Board presented
a supplementary statement in which it
admitted that the submarine "came very
near winning the World War;" that
aviation was of Importance and that
airplane carriers should De provided.
And it was emphasized, in this post
mortem and halfhearted acknowledge
ment of the value of submarines and
aviation, that they were "hopes" rather
than "accompl mplishmcnts," and that the
program must go through unrevised; if
modern weapons were to be provided
It must be by an additional appropria-
'ion. In short, it may be said that the
1916 program provides feet five years
old. 1t does not provide 1922 navy
1t does not necessarily provide strong
navy. In ignoring modern weapons it
may give US weak navy.

CATTLE RAISING IN MORGAN

Experts here from the state de-
partment of agriculture were sur
prised to find such choice cattle ex-
hibited at our fair. They let the
fact be known that at county fairs
they seldom found such good
stock. There is no place anywhere
better adapted to the raising of fine
cattle than in Morgan county, with
its abundance of the right kind of
pasture, grain, water, and farmers
brains. The calf clubs have done
much to improve the herds of the
county. While times are just now
and have been for several months
mighty discouraging to the farmer,
he can't always be made the goat,
and better days are in store for him.
Let us hope the Morgan county
farmer will keep heart and continue
to improve in his cattle raising. If
he does, there will be no reason why
before long Morgan county as a
choice cattle raising county can't
head the list.

by the thousands who remained at
home? The service men are not
asking hardly as much per month
for their adjusted compensation as
the majority of those who remained
at home, and who were employed in
shipyards, munition making shops,
or even as the crudest carpenters,
received per day.
The privates, and they comprised
$50 of the army, drew $50; if over
seas, $33 per month. From this
was deducted, in thousands of cases,
SIS as compulsory allotment for de-
pendents back home. Then there
was about 81 for what was almost
compulsory insurance. This left but
about $S per month. Certainly they
could lay up nothing from this
small amount, and on their return
from the service, the soldiers were
not given any better wages than
those who had remained at home,
and many have been without jobs.
Very seldom has it appeared that in
securing positions their army SER
vice gave them any preference over
those who remained at home, and
who were able from their fat sal
aries to accumulate and lay up for
the rainy days such as are facing
thousands now.
