...verse of this number is notable. Hermann Hagedorn has a sure and practiced touch. His "America to Europe" says much in its fourteen lines and closes with the memorable phrase: "And that to live at ease may be to die."

What Mr. Dos Passos says constitutes a sound reply to his fellow-editor, Mr. McComb, on a preceding page. A. K. McC., whom we suspect to be this very Mr. McComb, even says, combatting the work of Mr. Herrick, "We know that trade is continuing between Italy and Germany. Let it continue by all means.
