ing the whole thing away. 1t is much more
of a task to rewrte than to start afresh on a
story. In starting afresh. one Is filled with
enthusiasm, for the story is demanding to be
written. Rewriting, under the circum-
stances, was about as interesting as
tracing an old design with the somewhat de-
pressing difference that the original design
had been lost But after a while I sum-
moned up my courage and went to it; and
l am certain that I must have reproduced
my first effort fairly closely, inasmuch as
in rewriting l used FIVE hundred and nine
pages of my note paper, compared with
the original Ave hundred and eleven. But I
shudder for the consequences il it ever hap

"skeets Kirby" it developed, is a sequel
TO Mitch NJ lller"
"And will there be third novel to round
out the trilogy?"
t"I shouldn't be surprised" said Mr. Mas
ters "but I'm going to write lot OF poetry
first. I'd rather write poetry than prose any
day. But those two novels were just plead
ing to be written and held out as long as I
could Now that they're out of the way, ]

asked. rs it going to be free verse like
Spoon River Anthology; is it going to be
rhymed like most of Toward the Gulf Is It
going to be blank verse like 'Domesday
Book?'"
Its going to be-" he replied, whatever
the mood and the poem require. It may be
a rhymed love lyric one day, and free
verse epitaph the next and a blank verse
sequence the following day. But whatever
il is, so far as is in me, it will be poetry.
You can't limit poetry to a definite rhythm
any more than you can see II Is made up OF
indefinite rhythms. Nor can you limit its
moods. ! don't like to see a man labelled
free verse poet or a rhymed verse poet. I'm
afraid that in cases of this sort. too. the
critics much too eager to classify. Some
critics are Just as eager to classify some
people to put propaganda into poetry"
And then Mr.. Masters made 1t plain that
in his opinion propaganda might have its
place but that that place was definitely not
in art "Propagandas place is not In the
pome," muttered to myself.
How about politics?" I asked. you have
written poems about our political leaders"
YES" he answered Roosevelt and Bryan
but I was interested much more
in their color and in their personality than
in their politics. Roosevelt was to me one
of the most colorful figures of our times.

would you say" ventured, that poetry
has any influence on politics, on actual con-
ditions?"

radiated this calmness everywhere about
him at the moment when calmness was the
cardinal virtue"
OF Col. House Mr.. LauZanne remarks that
he Is one of the rare Americans who foresaw
the inevitability of war, and he describes
him as being "better than a faithful ad-
wiser; he is a loyal friend"
His friendship for France was as solid
as granite. At the peace conference he con-
tinued his work as adviser and friend OF
the President, modestly and in silence He
smoothed over many difficult situations he
made it possible for the Government to
avoid the consequences of Incidents like
the Japanese Intervention, and he rendered
many services to France"
OF the treaty House said, according to
this writer:
1.-The best treaties are those which have
been concluded rapidly and executed at once
TOO much discussion and delay may result
in treaty that no one will want to sign or
even read"
Naturally the chapter on Woodrow VIII
son is peculiarly timely, at the moment when
his career as President ends, as a European
valuation of his place in world affairs. Lau-
zanne feels that he missed his greatest op-
portunities but he declares that France
will not forget two years of war when
Woodrow Wilson fought her battle, and
without which she might have been con-
auered." And he calls the battle over the
peace treaty at Washington "a party
struggle"
The New York herald., 1921-03-13

The high place assigned to Raymond
attributes the salvation Of France primarily
to three men: Delcasse, who prepared, he
says, the diplomacy of the war; Joffre, who
organized the military defence, and Pon-
care, who presided over everything. 1t has
been often stated that any French Presi-
dent is more or less of a figurehead. But
this is an understatement. And in Poin
cares case the force and the balance of the
mans character undoubtedly made them
selves felt.
His firm conviction was Of the bull
warks of French morale. He had faith from
the beginning in Great Britain's aid and
helped to assure it by his letters and des-
patches.
Throughout the war he offered wise coun-
sci and much needed information to each Of
his ministers. He is a thorough student and
kept himself informed on all phases of the
conflict
Perhaps the appointment of Clemenceau
was his greatest single act. But Poincare
also had his part in the historic meeting at
Doullens, where Foch was made commander
of all the allied forces.
Rapid uuotidianlke Impressions are those
enclosed in covers here, which in several
cases have appeared in more ephemeral

This is exactly the sort of magic that
Ryder achieves. It could not be better ex-
pressed. Mr. Sherman here and throughout
his book gives the rarest kind of art writ

1t has been said that all criticism is auto

Mr.. Sherman continues:

sary to speak at length, but 1t should be re-

is, Dell certainly belongs to it. And right
here let me say that there isn't any one in
Chicago who can hold candle to Delrs

Cubs have it somewhat on the school, since
