WAR
THE wnr has been llbcrnlly written
up. In tho beginning It was said that
tho dny of tho wnr correspondent was
past, nnd thnt this wnr would bo re
ported only by tho monro official bul
letins Issued by the various army
headquarters. But competition for
tho sytnpntliy of neutral countries and
perhnps other causes caused tho res
urrection of the wnr correspondent. So
all the startlltiB thliics that stand out
In bold relief ham been variously de
scribed, until wo renders havo an
quired a certain appetite for war lit
erature, though we may know no
more of war itself than tho usual
sound of an nlr rlflo In a beach shoot
ing Bnllery.
Havlni: covered tho outstanding;
features, war writers aro turnlnp; to
more abstract nnd subtle phnscs,
speculating as to what tho soldiers
think about In tho trendies, and
branching off Into a bit of metnphysles
ns to Just what Is war.
Wilfred OtbBon, tho young lCngltsh
poet, who hns sprung Into such Btid
den and gonoral popularity, con
tributes four very clever and discern
ing war poems to tho Indepondont
(1). It Is difficult to choose between
them. He calls one "Hnlnlng."
The nlsht I left my fnthcr said'
"Tou'11 go and do some stupid thing-.
You've no more senso In thnt fat head
Than Silly Billy Wlttorllng.
"N'ot sense to come In when It rains
Not senso enouRh for that, you've pot,
You'll get n bullet through your brnlns
Heforo you know, ns like ns not."
And now I'm lying In the trench
And shells nnd bullets through tho night
Aro raining In n steady drench,
I'm thinking the old man vvns right.
An nrdent nntl-mllltarlst spent sev
eral weeks In tho German trenches

war nn it really Is nnd forming his
own conclusions. Ho Is Ernest Poole,
author of one of the spring successes,
"Tho Harbor." After a vivid descrip
tion of scenes In tho trenches In
Everybody's (2) he sums up his Im
pression of the spirit of wnr and the
power behind It:
Things looked black to me -that night.
If wnr were hell, ns I had believed, one
might have hoped that In sheer disgust
men would learn their lesson here, nnd
thnt this wnr would be the last. But I
saw little hopo of this disgust. For I Imd
sem my enemy's face, nnd It was not
hldootis as I had thought. I had Peon
deop, glcnmlng, flashing eyes, Imd heard
a voice that thrilled even mo. And ho
wnr felt terribly strong that night. For
listening to these crackling shots, and tho
occasional hoom of cannons, I thought
of young men by millions, Germans,
French nnd English, all nlong this wind
ing snnke (tho trenches), BUch plain, ordl
nnry men. all In a fow brief months
transformed, each one with his selfish
nets left behind, here quietly offering up
his life for what each thought n big Ideal
nnd doing this Is no sudden excitement,
with no Ineplrlng blare of bands, but
standing deep In water nnd mud. week
after week, nnd n.onth nftcr month, nnd
Btlll keeping the looks I had seen In their
eyes. Wnr was not hell to such men ns
these; It was rather the one big event
of their lives. Such men will not want
disarmament.
"And who are you," a voice seemed to
ask, "to talk to theso men of my ugli
ness? Have yoi ever offered to give
your llfo for the thing that you believe
In? And nil your countrymen over the
tea, nre they all eo superior, so honest,
generous nnd kind, so noble In their
works of peace? What have you in your
llttlo llfo ever known thnt can call to
men ns I can, pulling them out of their
creeds and greeds to give up their lives
by millions, to shake the entire civilized
world nnd put nil Institutions on trial

FKOM CIOOPS TO TRAGEDY1
Gelett Utirgess, famous for hU
"Coops nnd Nonsense Rhymes,"
writes in very different vein In Col
lier's (3). He tells tho stories of five
women, particularly traglo nnd help
less victims of war:
It wns Polagle Uwacrts who told m
this story, and how beautifully sho told
It. so thnt no one, I hm sure, could hear It
vtllhout n gulp In thp thront, of it young
Belgian girl In the Seminary of St. Sul
pice. I can no more than sketch It for
you, with not half her delicacy, "bne
day she came Into my room," said Pela
gic, "a forlorn little thing she Is, only 13,
nnd sho naked If sho might sit and sew
with me. Sho spenks no French, only
Flemish, nnd sho said: 'I've noticed that
you don't talk much to the other woman
In tho corridor, nnd I thought you might
bo like n mother to me here.' Of course
I said she could, so every day she came
with her sowing. Hut ns I worked and
watched her I couldn't undorstnhd why
bIio was so sad 'Is It because you have
no mother?' t nskod her. No, It didn't
seem to he that, although she had no
relatives nt all In the world. Well, I knew
that we Imd nil suffered terribly In this
cruel wnr, every one, hut tho was so
young, and It's naturnl for youth to get
over this sooner than wo who are older.
It wasn't like youth to droop as this
young girl did. 'Oh, you'll get over it
nftcr awhile,' I said to her. 'It wM coma
out all right In tho end.'
"She burst out crying. 'Oh, It will
never come out right for me. It can only
be worse and worse every day.' I said,
'Why, my dear, what has happened to
you?' Then I looked at her face and I
knew, I sold, 'Oh, my poor child, tell me
If you can. You can trust me, and you
have no mother.' Sho Just began to
monn, 'Oh, whnt shall 1 do? What shall
I do?' and then nt last sho told me.
"Monsieur, you know whnt has hap
pened to so many, many girls In Bel
glum. When the foremnn of her farm
paid her oft nnd told her the Germans
were coming sho Bet out for her uncle's
houic. She found the village full of
Prussians. Threo of them caught her
nnd took her Into n house. 'You will cook
for us,' they snld, 'and you will bo our
wlfo while wo aro here.' Monsieur, she
wns kept there threo days!"
Edith Whnrton, the novelist, has a
vivid description of wnr-tlmo Paris in
Scrlbner'H (4). She mentions that
look In tho eyes of French women
which Ernest Poole saw In tho eye
of tho German soldiers in tho
trenchos:
It Is n good sign to see the crowds pour
ing Into the shopa again, even though the
sight Is less Interesting than that of the
other crowds streaming dally across the
Pent Alexandre III to the great court of
tho Invnlldcs, where tho German trophies
are dlsplnjed. Here the heart of France
beats with a richer blood, nnd something
of Its glow passes Into foreign veins as
one watches tho perpetually renewed
throngs face to face with tho long trlplo
rows of Germnn guns. There nre few In
those throngs to whom one of tho deadly
pnek has not dealt a blow; there are per
sonal Ioiscb, lacorntlng memories, bound
up with the sight of all those evil en.
glnes. But personal sorrow Is tho sen
tlment least visible In the look of Paris.
It is not fanciful to say that the Paris
ian's face, after sfx months of trial, has
acquired n new character. Tho change
seems to have affected the very stuff It
Is molded of, as though the long ordeal
had hardened the poor human clay Into
some dense commemorative substances.
I often pass in tho street women whoso
faces look like memorial medals Ideal
ized Images of what they were In the
flesh. And the masks of some of the men
those queer tormented Gallic masks,
crushed In and squat nnd a little satyr
like look like the bronzes of the Naples
Museum, burnt nnd twisted from their
baptism of fire. But none of these faces
rovenls a personal preoccupation; they are
looking otto nnd nil at France erect on
her borders. Even tho women who are
comparing different widths of Valen
ciennes at the lnco counter all have some
thing of thnt vision In their eyes or else
ono does not seo the ones who haven't.
