THERE are some stories in the
Il world that need poetry for the
telling; stories whose essence is Of
great heroism, infinite romance, I'M
dying color, which need to be sung
if their flavor is not to be lost.
One of these is the great story
of the conquest of Mexico; and
Archibald MacLeish has put it into
very fine poetry in "Conquistador. .
which the Houghton, Mif1in Co. just
has issued at $3.50.
MacLeish tells his story through
the mouth of Bernal Diaz, one of
Cortez's soldiers, and who, in his old
age, wrote a history of the conquest.
In the main, he follows Diaz'S
original account of things, begin
ming with the first restless voyaging
by Spanish explorers across the
Mexican gulf, continuing with Cor
tez's high-handed departure from
Cuba and tracing the course of
events thereafter through the in
vasion of Tiascala, the massacre at
Cholula, the seizure of Montezuma,
the tragic "noche triste" and the
battle of Otumba to the final
triumph.
And what a story it makes! A
handful of mutinous and discour-
aged men crossing fantastic noun
tains, fighting unceasing battles and
conquering the most bizarre king
dom on earth, losing their gold and
coming to old age with nothing but
memories to feed on-iS not all of
this made to order for a poet?
MacLeish has written very fine
book. Somehow he has captured the
essential quality of the whole thing
in his rhymeless, free-f1owing stan
zas; the danger. the WEAKNESS, the
heat, the visions, the sense of hav-
ing arrived in a new, timelesS
world. "Conquistador" is one of the
notable books of the year.

CHAPTER TwENTY-FoUR
"XXTHISTLING in the dark, I'm
w ONLY whistlinp in the dark"

"VXTHISTLING in the dark, I'm
w only whistling in the dark.
Susan slipped through the French
door and stood shivering in the
darkness. A wind from the west
blew across the prairies and the
stars shone with uncanny bright
ness over her head.
1t was quiet here. She almost
could shut out completely that
hateful tune, the swish-swish OF
feet and the babble Of voices. She
felt a misery too deep for words.
That was why the vastness OF the
night comforted her.
The events of the day marched
before her eyes like the unroll1ng OF
a film. There was the dinner. The
oval table with its lace and ruby
glass, the exquisite food, the def
servants gliding in and out. Susan
hardly had tasted anything.
From the moment when she had
come downstairs wearing her frock
of white lace to find Denise in Bob
Dunbars arms, she had been mis-

"This is what she asked me for"
Susan told herself bitterly. Hes
hers and she wants me to know it,"
Why such a course should give the
girl any satisfaction Susan could
not understand. The tall, fair
young man had been her friend,
nothing more, and that only briefly.
If Susan had imagined that some
divine flash of understanding had
passed between the two, she had
been wrong. She must get over
it; other girls did. If her heart
felt like stone in her breast, that
was her affair and no others.
This interminable night would be
over. There would be tomorrow,
when she could return home and
resolutely forget all her foolish
dreams.
The worst of it was that Denise
was bad for him. With laughter
and announcement she had had
Bob's glass filled again and again
at the table. What had sent her
out into the night was the fact that
Bob Dunbar, now quite drunk, had
danced with her
1t had been hideous! Through
the crowd Susan had caught a
glimpse of Denises bright, mali
cious face as she watched them.
Bob had said not too steadily,
Didn't know you belonged in this
artist crowd Surprised to see you.
She was too sick at heart to an
swer him clearly, to explain that
really she did not belong with them.
AS soon as she could, she had
slipped away from him and come
out here to think things out. But
she could not stay much longer.
She was shuddering with cold now.

CAMP AICN FOR VICTORY GETS

Series of Dinners Held by Democrats for One
 Avowed Purpose

 ADDRESS, NEW YORK
Shouse Predicts Victory but Warns Against
 Over-confidence

WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 15.-- Politics and political firecrackers. bursting in all sections of the country last night, reminded the Nation that the campaign year has arrived.
 In some fifty cities, Democrats held a series of dinners, launching the victory campaign" for $1,500,- GOO to erase the Democratic Party's deficit and put it in a position for flying start after the Chi cago convention.
 Republicans Assailed
 Several thousands Democrats gathered at a dinner in New York City and heard Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt decry the Republican handling of national affairs and censure those who directed barbs against the President him. self The Democratic Party "can never tolerate abuse heaped upon the person of President" he said
 Roosevelt Endorsed
 The resolutions committee of the North Dakota State - Democratic Convention unanimously endorsed Gov. Roosevelt and asked him to enter the party primaries in that State as a Presidential candidate.
 At all dinners, mention of can- didates was scruplously avoided by the speakers, making it plain they were tout to fill the war chest and not choose a commander, dictate strategy or map out battlefield. .
 Warning Issued
 Jouett Shouse, speaking at a din- ner in Chicago, predicted a victory for the Democratic Party but warn ed against over confidence and in- dividual rivalries.

not look to war as a means of fur thering her interests" he said. She has said beforehand "A court. judge, that is what we want"
 Turning to the ticklish question of security, Briand asked, Has progress been achieved? No one can deny that it has," he replied
 War is a crime. Such was the dictum of the Paris Pact. Until then, we must not forget, war had actually remained, in certain cir cumstances a licit means for set- ] ling disputes. The Paris Pact laid down ty1ar -fc -is an impious act to have recourse to war. Morally this was excellent.
 One fact, however, we cannot disguise: cases still exist in which war may occur"
 When Briand recently presided over the League of Nations Coun- cil meeting called to consider the Sino-Japanese conflict, he gave the impression that despite his ad- vanced age and failing health he was hanging on with firm grasp to his ideal of organized peace.
 His audience recalled his famous Geneva address of several years ago, when he was at his height, in which he said in effect, Put the machine guns and cannons behind us; down with war"

France Won't Clog Wheels
 for Disarmament'' Declares
 French Spokesman at Cenepa
By M. K. WHITELEATHER

PARIS, Jan. 15.-"So long as I am where I am there will be no war"
 That is the reply of Ariside Bri- and, who several days ago asked to be relieved of his Cabinet position as Foreign Minister. but who will be the French spokesman at the Geneva Disarmament Conference. The grand old man of many Gen. eva battles for peace, makes the above statement to charges his country is ready to clog the ma- chinery being built to grind the worlds armaments into scrap metal.
 q will not allow war to be let loose upon mankind again, and if all the governments show the same de- termination then progress will have been made" said the co-author of the Kellogg -Briand pact for renun- citation of war.
 q am under no illusions as to the difficulties, for indeed have seen them grow month by month. I am conscious of them facing me and all round me. But \.e League of Nations must boldly take the wheel and not shrink from any kind of responsibility"
 France Went Block Farley"
 "It is the sad privilege of my country that in such matters as disarmament people are always ready to think the worst of her.
 Tt has been remarked that the conference on disarmament has not yet met and that, lurking in the shadows, there is country on the watch ready to snatch at any fav- orable opportunity to bring about it's adjournment.
 That is not so. France will do nothing to bring about such a7a adjournment, and I may say that if any such attempt were made France would be among the first to oppose it."
 Briand, whose stopped shoulders are showing more and more the ef- feet of his relentless campaign for peace, said that his own country lost no opportunity in limiting its armaments in preparation for the great conference, that it had re- duced the period of military serv- ice by two- thirds and it's effecti- veneSS by one-haf.
 In addition, Briand said, France has marched toward the ultimate aim set forth by the League of Nations covenant.
