A NEW BRYAN INCIDENT

Efforts are being made to explain why William J. Bryan, when secre- tary of state, did not hand a cable m essage received from Myron Her rick. ambassador to France in 1s14, to President Wilson, for whom it was intended.
 Astonishment Is even more wide spread considering the importance Of the message. It might have resulted in action to prevent the outbreak Of the European war It might not have done anything of the kind, of course; but the chance, however slim, re- mains that this possibility lurked in presidential action upon the mes- sage.
 The autobiogra phy of the late anl- bassador to France, published in the Worlds Work, quotes the cable. President Wilson before he died ad- mitted he had never received it. The cablegram was dated July 2S, 1914, was marked "confidential--to be communicated to the President" It referred to the imminence of the World War and contained these words:
 There is a faith and reliance on our high ideals and purposes so that I believe an expression from our na- tion would have great weight Tn this crisis. My opinion is, encouraged al reception given utterances of British minister of foreign affairs. I believe that a strong plea for delay and moderation from the President of the United States would meet with the respect and approval of Europe and urge the prompt consideration of this question. This suggestion is consistent with our plea for arbtra- ton treaties and attitude toward world affairs generally. l would not appear oflcious, but deem it my duty to send this expression to you" MT. Herrick in his posthumous
 work states that MT. Bryan nevel l acknowledged or answered it. | No one need be surprised at thi! revelation. Bryan received scores oi

LYRICITIS

LYRICITIS
 By Arthur Kober A poet who wished to escape from a creditor to newspapers managing editor, Who threw all his poetry into the sewer, And made him the papers dramatic reviewer.
 But rhymes fight
 before they're slain. These ran at night
 Through the poets brain: Fay painter,
 Ethel Barrymore, Eleanor Painter, Francine Larrimore. Blossom Seeley, Leatrice Joy, Janet Velie,
 Gloria Foy. Marc Connolly. Rachel Brothers, The Four Marx Brothers. Fred Stone,
 Ted Shawn. Madame Simone, Hazel Dawn. These lyrical strains Gave the poet the blues, So he blew out his brainss And stuck to reviews!
