 New York. Dec 27-Because of ms sea, the late Colonel Charles w. Whittlesey may be called, by the un- thinkable-a, suicide.

 Casualties continue. though we have long since passed Armistice Day with its carntvals and joyous hail or confetti that pelte'd a world weary of war.
 It is a company of those wounded in spirit as well as those who cannot breathe the pure aid of peace for all the gaseous content left in their lungs Oy battle
 Of these first w7nttt1esey was typ teal. And another soldier who knew the lost commander of the lost bat talion tells us something of the hor- TOTS that so feed upon sensitive men s souls that life no longer holds rest for them.
 Supreme Court Justice Philip J. NoCook, major in the Fifth Division, member of famous family the lighting MoCooks," knew Whithesey both before and after the war.
 'tHe always felt the responsibilities
 of others Where associates cursed and damned every phase of war. and
 every situation that didn't suit them, and so relieved the pressure. Whittle- eey felt 1t more deeply. He was like
 a too thin boiler plate with no escape
 valves for all this pounding steam
 that worked within him." Judge Mo
 Cook explained.
 'sThere Was No Other Way" t~The pressure at last found a weak spot-hence his death Such an intensely nervous organ ization simply had to rest. He want ed to find sleep, and he saw no other Picture the feelings of a man who comes back a war hero-who with this type Of organism has gone through terrific strain. He has no position or business. He must start all over again In a profession. Life may seem just too hard. There are very many such men, with him remains the fearful memories of sufferings indescribabIe. Memories of comrades who stopped suddenly to fall with brains spilled out on the ground; men who died 1 and sat nfeless with pencil in hand waited at home; bodies that lay so thick that one must look sharp SC as mot to step on a dead friend g face; horses that a moment before 1 suddenly killed. four legs frightfully standing up in the air. These scenes of suffering stayed with many of the men.

 ''If there had not been a war these men would not have been broken, but in the last analysis they gave up to tnhuman pressure.
 Don't think for a moment they are trying to escape-that is too of ten the slur cast upon a suicide.
 ''The hero stuff made WhiElesey sick. How he hated it!'' said Judge McCook.
 Charge it up to war that a, man of great sweetness of characaer, mod osty and generosity-of a type sell dom seen-came to that choice.
 "I don't look for more casualties of this nature. But I do know that cases of tuberculosis, induced by be- ing gassed, have been increasing by the thousand. Dozens of fellows l know have gone ous to California, with lungs scared. Henry Stimson, ex-SecrCtary of War, said the other day that the peak had not yet been reached in the gas casualties"
 And so the ghost of war remains with men who cannos forget Aghts not meant for humans to see; who cannot escape from sounds beating on ears thai want only quiet.
 Highly nervous organisms, even those naturally quiet and unassum- ing, often rise to great daring as did the Host commander"

London. Dec 27 - Lord Dunsany. sRuthor, poet, dranatist and soldier, ism. is about to undertake a lecture shour to convince people of the real Evalue of poetry.
 ' Ut seems perfectly obvious to me" 5.le says, that poetry is of some use. Man may prefer many more ma tHertal things, but really poetry is no Emore silly than a new automobile. Ut has it's place among the needs tsof humanity, and if a man neglects to frecognize 1t then he will be little bet lter off than one who does not know k1hat he requires a thick coat on & rcoId day.
 'eThat is how I regard poetry, as ;something that every man needs and sfnis is my argument. It Is what a iters.
 The human feelings are the one possession common to all. They are Rhe common denomlnator of the hu- 51an race, and therefore. of all ma terial that people can possibly care to read about. and, surely, they should De the most interesting.
 And the human feelings are the raw material of poetry.
 Poetry is actually made out of AFhatever emotions may have been snost profoundly stirred in the hearts of men, women and children in any period on which the poet may have been able to lay his hands.
 Poetry is made of our innerrnost

 Man may prefer many material shinrs 4o noe+rV and vet the ya111a of ali these material things, apart from the obvious necessities of life, Is the pleasure to be derived from them.
 Poetry is concerned mainly with &he delight that people get from all snanner of objects, so that 1t is more valuable to a man than the most ma Sertal things. because it 8 directly concerned with his pleasure. Money, at the best, will only bring it to him Indirectly.
