The battles of battles goes on, and it may continue for weeks.
The striking power of the German armies is growing weaker, how
ever; and the resistance of the Allied forces greater. And General
Foch has the reserve resources to turn back the Teutons completely,
whenever he believes the sacrifice is worth the cost in precious lives.

The getting together of the forces to pick the loganberries is
going forward. It will have to be hurried, and it will have to be
done on a large scale, to save all the loganberries, which is im
portant. After the loganberries will come the prunes. And there will be
a bumper crop of prunes, too ; the greatest Oregon ever produced.
Talk about your Hale fellows, the State of Maine has them to
gloat over. Take Eugene Hale of Maine, for instance. He is the
grandson of a United States Senator, the son of a United States
Senator and the brother of a United States Senator. Incidentally
he is a millionaire in .his own right and 41 years of age, yet he
induced the war board to waive his exemption and enlisted as a pri
vate in the army. He might have, had a commission, but insisted on
starting in the ranks. It is little incidents like this that encourage
the thought that the world is being made safe for democracy.

.... POETRY OP. THE WAIL
The poets were at first flustered
by the war. Most of them had been
busily experimenting i with Involu
tions of expression and obscure
rhythms; and when the war crashed
down through the sky they blew pan
icky refrains on their penny whistles
and it seemed for a while as thouja
no voice and word appropriate to the
hour would be lifted. In England
Henry Chappell, a railroad porter,
was among th eflrst to achieve the
savage intensity of truly emotional
verse; and his "The Day- was quot
ed and copied wherever the English
tongue went One of the stanzas of
this poem addressed to Germany is:
"You have wronged for the Day, you
have longed for the Day
That lit the awful flame.
Tis nothing to you that hill and
plain
Yield sheaves of dead men amid the
grain;
That widows mourn for their loved
ones slain.
And mothers curse your name.
There Is no escaping the fact that
war poetry, to be popular, to be ta
ken up by the lips of men. must ap
peal to the elemental passions of
hate for the enemy and loyalty for
the homeland. Some of the very
finest poetry about the war. and
evoked by the war, has been written
in America by Amy Lowell; notably
"Toy Soldiers." But It is too Intel
lectual. being whqlly allegorical, for
the storm and stress of the hour.
When the war is over, then Amy
Lowell will paradixically have a
better chance to come Into promi
nence as a war poet
The names of Alan Seegar and
Rupert Brooke are too well known
to need more than mention. Seegar's
"Rendexvous with Death." with its
lyrical melancholy and overtone of
loyalty to duty, all of which was In
tensified by the regrettable fact that
he faithfully kept the rendezvous,
has received something like the hon
or due it Rupert Brooke's poetry
would probably have passed quickly
from public gaze had it not been that
so many eminent friends of his.
keenly feeliag the sense of loss that
came with his death, directed atten
tion the extreme merit of his slend
der volume.
Kipling's "For Ail We Have and
Are" is a magnificent poem, closing
as it does with the reverberant lines:
There is but one task for all
or eaFch one life to give.
Who stands If freedom fall?
Who dies if England live?"
In America there has been a grad
ual Increase or quality to compen
sate for the bewildering quantity.
Hermann Hagedorn." both In prose
and verse, has distinguishably attest
ed the loyalty that some people of
German descent have cherished for
America. Among those unknown
who suddenly rose to prominence
none are more conspicuous 1 than
Marlon Couthouy Smith, a, true sing
er of rire and vision; and "The An
swer." addressed to pacifists and
their irk, should not escape atten
tion: "There Is noe answer to all dreams
of ease
Belgium!
One answer to the Teuton's cunning
pleas
Belgium!
One test and touchstone for all hearts
that feel.
One word that Is a stroke of steel on
steel,
A stroke whose clangor sets a long
note ringing
That falls upon our ears like) distant
singing."
Among those who have celebrated
the Incidents tof war, Amelia Jose
phine Burr," Cant. Gilbert Frankau,
Owen Seaman and Patrick McGIU
will perhaps not be soon forgotten.
Captain Frankau and McGill wrote
In the trenches with the crash of
guns echoing throush the heavens;
and the former achieved a particu
larly vivid conception In "Head
quarters': "A league and a league from the
trenches from the traverse!
maze of the lines.
Where daylong the sniper watches
and daylong the bullet whines.
And the cratered earth Is In travail
with mines and with counter
mines Here, where haply some woman
dreamed (are those her roses
in that bloom
In the garden beyond the windows
"of my littered working room?)
We have decked the map for our
masters as a bride is decked for
the groom."
Even the gentle poets, such as
Walter de la Mare,, whose child
rhymes ("Peacock Pie") would nev
er suggest a martial spirit, and Sara
Teasdale, one of the . finest lyrical
writers America has produced, have
given their attentions to Mars and
with felicity. But these have not
been emotional enough1 for general
appreciation. It is only the reflect
ive lover of poetry who enjoys the
delicacy and tenuous sorrow, more
of melancholy than of anger. In those
singers.
Many poets who never were
poets until they got Into the war,
some of them as privates have ap
peared with their little offerlnsg of
song; and these songs, gtt within the
hearts of those who read and the
echoes are heard there long after
the name of the author has slipped
away. Take for Instance the little
volume of "Rough Rhymes by a
Padre," by one who calls himself
Woodbine Willie, and the lines titled
"Prayer Before Attack." As Is gen
erally known. In the trenches a eu
phemism for death is "to go West
'It ain't as I 'opes 'E '11 keep me safe
While the other blokes goes down
It ain't as I wants to leave this world
And year an 'ero's crown.
It alnt for that as I says my prayers
When I goes to the attack.
But I pray tat whatever comes my
way
I may never turn me back.
I leave the matter o' life and death
To the Father who knows what's
best
And I prays that I still may play the
man
Whether I turns east or west
So much to convey mere an inti
mation of what the poets are doing;
but It Is not to omuch to say that
many of them are writing as' stirring
and as fine martial verse as may be
found in the length and breadth of
the language.
THE BIBLE AND THE BATTLE.
One of the paragraphers of the
Los Angeles Times. In the issue of
that paper of last Wednesday, gave
evidence In the following paragraphs
that the batUe of battles had set
him to reading his Bible:
Stand fast and see the salvation
of the Lord.
---To
Qrour knees, job. Americans,
and when yon pray, like Daniel of
old. open your windows toward Jer
usalem. "Lord, Thou hast been our dwell
ing place in all generations." So
wrote Moses, the lawgiver; so say
all true and patriotic Americans.
"All they that take the sword
shall perish with the sword. This
is the warning uttered for the bene
fit of Peter, but It applies to the
kaiser. Look np yonr St Matthew.
The prophet Hosea foretold the
doom of the kaiser when he said:
"I will also reject thee, that thou
shalt be no priest to me; seeing
thou hast forgotten the law of thy
God. I will also forget tby children."
Let us, like Moses, who held up
his hand so that Israel prevailed,
hold up the hands of tbe allies on
the western battle front When
Moses let down h's hand Amalek
prevailed. This is no tluie for Ama
lek to win..
Blood-stained France Is holding
out her suppliant hands in praUe
to God that the Americans have
come to btr assistance. When Solo
mon prayed at the dedication or th?
temple which he had built at Jeru
salem he included the "stranger that
is not of thy people Israel, but com
eth out of a far country for Thy
name's sake."
A pointer for the kaiser: "These
six things the Lord hates; yea. seven
are fan abomination unto him; a
proud look, a lying tongue and
hands that shed Innocent blood; a
heart that devlseth wicked Imagin
ations, feet that be swift in running
to mischief; a false witness that
speaketh lies, and he that soweth
discord among brethren." Read
your Proverbs.
The travail of the nation is at
hand, but. as written by Isaiah, the
triumph Is at hand. Hear the word:
"Put on thy beautiful garments, O
Jerusalem, the holy city. . fc .
weeping shall no more be heard In
her, nor the voice of crylg. ., . .
And mine elect shall long enjoy the
work of thy hands."
And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and
joy in my people; and the voice of
I BITS FOR BREAKFAST I
Wanted hot weather, then rain.
