More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
A WASTED LIFE

In youth I was always deferred
From seeking for fame in the ring
BY the fear (Which of course was alb
surd)
Of the impact of wallop or swing;
I knew the profession the prizefighter
plies
Is not only manful but gainful-
Yet u constantly harbored a timid
SurmiSe
That it often-too often-is painful.
In the fights I have chanced to behold
(And they number hundred or
more)
When husky young lad was knocked
cold
And lay doubled up on the floor
AS one in the stern and relentless
embrace
Of a carefully mixed Soporific,
never observed that the look on his
face
Was what might be termed beatific.
But I have it from G.. Bernard Shaw,
Whose articles never have. ceased
To hold me in reverent awe,
That knockouts don't hurt in the
least.
No twinges of nerve-racking anguish
the dreams
Of the man who receives one en-
cumber,
A punch on the plexus if hard enough
seems
To steep one in beautiful slumber.
But alas, I have long passed the day
When I might learn to wallop and
welt,
And engage in the glorious fray
For the champions diamond set
belt;
In the days of my youth, discover,
I made
What is known as capital error
BY foregoing a fine and lucrative
trade
On account of unjustified terror!

There is good reason to suppose that
a program which would establish the

iSh empire would welcome an agree
ment designed to eliminate the posi-
bility of war between the worlds two
greatest powers. Such war is often
declared "unthinkable, but history re-
veals that power moves westward
along with civilization and that up to
the present time war has accompanied
the process. Now that the world is
for the first time pretty well in the
hands of peoples who speak the same
language, the time may have to come
to call the turn on hiStory'S repetitive
trend.
Farseeing men have long since sug-
gested the wisdom of an Anglo-Ameri-
can understanding as potent factor
for world peace and international hap
piness. The idea has not been con-
fined to mere theorists and compara-
tive nobodies. The Scripps- Howard
newspapers made such proposal
years ago and more recently it has
been endorsed by William Randolph
Hearst.
Now, with the demonstration at &C.
neVa that from purely strategic
standpoint based on geographical limi-
tations and dissimilarities of interest
the United States and Britain find it
hard to agree on standardized shapes
and sizes for their respective navies,
the world echoes more than ever be-
fore for pleas for measures of safety
such as some once felt would be
achieved through the league of ma
tionS.
Ambassador Houghton apparently
had an Anglo American agreement in
mind recertlv when he proposed, with
out m tioning names, reciprocal
pledges in which contracting NATIONS
should agree not to attack each other
for 100 years. He tied up this sugges-
ton with plan to limit wars to those |
declared by popular Vote.

time, During the meal Byrne
LOOKED at the other curiousiy.
Jefferies was q mystery to him
He had met many brave men IN
a service that calls particularly
for courage, but none with quite
the same quiet indifference to
life, the same matter of fact
acceptance Of tremendous peril,
that Jefferies showed. Hot

but this mans endurance in the
face Of danger held something
in 1t that was deadly. Where
had he been all night? Byrne
wondered.
Jefferies was pale There were
dark shadows beneath his eyes,
and little lines around the mouth
that had not been there a week
ago. His appearance and man
ner suggested immense strain,
though the eyes were still bright
and alert.
Byrne could see that Jefferies
was hard hit BY, the abduction

men left the HeIlespont ana

others thoughts by conversation

He discovered that Jefferies
