REVOLUTION IS
NOW IMPENDING
IN ALL GERMANY
Decision of Several Provinces
Not to Obey Dictation of
Berlin Any Longer
Brings Crisis.
By GEORGE SELDES.
'aw Yaril Tlmm-C'htrmro Tribune C'abla, j
Berlin, Aug. 28. The decision of
the Rhine provinces, parts of est
plialia and the former tree kingdom
of Hanover, not to obey any longer
the dictation of Berlin is bringing
the question of revelation within
the German empire arid the re
, organization of a new United States
of Germany to an acute crisis. 1
learned autTioritivcly that at a meet-
, ting fh"'s afternoon the ministry of
the interior and representatives from
every state discussed this question
At the meeting it was decided io
form a commission for dismembering
Germany. It is to submit its report
to the' reichstag some time during
the fall. The organization of the
, United Statei of Germany is to be
made along economic lines with the
forming of economic unities instead
of the (chaotic condition in which
they are at present.,Jt is known that
the sinaH Thuringian states hope for
a iinitod "Greater Thuringia" with a
uniform administration.
Bavarians .Wish Secession.
Wurttemburg and Baden are, al
ready negotiating for the purpose of
uniting intoa new state. But the
most important, however, is the
Bavarian situation.' The Bavarian in
dependents are flirting seriously with
Fiance and have always threatened
secession. Bavaria is becoming some- ;
what like Ireland and, as in Britian,
it is hoped that the devolution move
ment will reconcile the straying
members of the empire.
The Bavarian Rhine and the Pal
asinate want to join Hesse, which,
together with the former state of the
grand duke of Hessc and the Prus
sian province of Hes'se-Nassau, will
form Greater Hesse.
" Prussia Blocks Plan. '
The difficulty in I carrying out
these plans lies with Prussia. Al
though the Prussian national assent
bly . has already decided to give
strong self-governments to the Prus
sian province very little has actu
ally been done on account of the
technical difficulties and internal re'
distance against their decision. If
Prussia does not srive these prov
inces autonomy, then the question of
the Rhinelands separation becomes
- l-
. most imminent.
Foreign Minister Simons opposes
Berlin's central dictatorship, and
wants the Rhinektnd and Upper
Silesia freed . from Berlin. For
Silesia he tlans a bold move to

He will converse with the Indians

hundreds of nights in the tepees and
around the campfires, eajgn their
stews,-smoked their pipes and ab
sorbed their legends of the days
when the world was big 'with game
and mighty deeds.
If any writer has ever understood
the Indians better than this man
does, the Indians have not discov
ered him, for they love Neihardt;
they named hin years ago Tae-Nuga-Zhinga
.(Little Bull Buffalo);
and Dr. Susan LaFlesche Picotte,
highly educated , Omaha - Indian
woman, says that everything written
by a white person about the Indians
from Cooper to Huntington has an
gered her except the. stories in "The
Lonesome Trail," by Neihardt?
Watched By Critics.
Something of the versatility of
this young genius may be gleaned
from the above facts. For. a quar
ter of a century he has studied In
dians, interviewed plainsmen, de
voured the history of the fur trade
period ,and during all that time he
has poured forth through the mag
azines western tales and versus of
startling realism.
For IS years the critics of New
York and London have watched and
studied Neihardt as astronomers
watch the curves of a strange new
comet in the zenith. For years they
have noted the distinct difference
between .the western stories pro
duced by this westerner and the
"western" stories ground out by
some who never had been west of
Pittsburgh.
This is what caused Richard Bur-1
ton "in the Bellman to say "Neihardt
has genuine dramatic vision his
work must always be taken serious
ly., by !thet critic.' This is what
drove thecritic of the San Francisco
Chronicle to say dl Neihardt's
"Song of Three Friends," "Homeric
are the figures in this stirring epic
of the love and hate of strong men.!!
A-nd the same spirit led the Phila'
deTphia North American to say,
"Mr. Neihardt's intimate knowledge
of western history, joined to his
rare gifts of poetic expression, ren
der peculiarly fortunate his assump
tion of the role of Horner for this
wonderful western epic." One
might ask, also, what it was that led
the Review of Reviews to say of
"The Song of Three Friends." "No
true American can read the two
sections, 'Ashley's Hundred' and
'Ttte Up-Stream Men' without a
thrill of patriotic devotion for the
land of his birth. '
Critics All Agree.
It was before the critics knew that
the Poetry Society. of America was
considering the awarding of the $500
prize to "The Song of Three Friends"
that the critics were already plac
ing Neihardt beside Homer in point
of epic achievement. It was Wil
liam Stanley Braithwaite in the Bos
ton Transcript who said, "The cycle
of poems, of the heroic fur-trading
period of American history that Mr.
Neihardt is creating on epic lines, is
one of the profoundly notable and
One of the few original things in the
development of American poetry."
It is noteworthy, too, that Roger
L. Sergei in the Yale Review points
out that the -deeds recounted in this
worlc are more integral to the Ameri
cans' past "than ever the events of
the Aeneid were to the Romans, or
those of the Arthuriad to the Bri
tons." Lastly Dr. Richard G. Moulton of
.Tunbridge Wells, England, one of
the foremost living authorities on
world literature, especially epic liter
ature, took the pains to write Nei
hardt a personal letter upon reading
his "Song of Hugh Glass." . The
English critic said, "It enhances the
opinion I expressed to you in con
nection with 'The Song of Throe
Friends,' that you are making the
V'i & "tvJ tj
most important contribution, yet
ma3e to the foundation of a reial
American epic. In alf aspects of
epic' poetry your work is distin
guished, in particular your power
of interweaving external nature with
incident, ranks you with the best."
Life History Written.
Oddly enough, though Neihardt is
lesathan 40 years old, and expects
yet to his most monumental work
in the next 15 years a life nf1..ei
hardt has already appeared. This
work is entitled "John G. Neihardt,

Man and Poet, F. H. Jones & Sons.
Wayne, Neb., by Julius T. House,
Ph.D., University of Chicago, at
present heat of the Department of
Literature and Philosophy at the
State Normal. Wayne, Neb.
This professor and psychologist
was attracted by some of Neihardt's
w ork a number of years ago and en
gaged in correspondent with the
poet. A Rcrary friendship sprung
up. which it is believed by critics i3
destined to become' historic.
Especially is this thought likely
since Dr. House now has Hhe honor
of having jfRlade the first comprehen
sive stuy and published the first
work on the life of this young Ne
braska genius. t -A
"TMs study was undertakes," says
Drt' House in his introduction, "for
Ufe purpose of finding out how a man

...
art, ,
Throughout, 'Dr. House evintres
marked skill as a critic and over and
over again reveals profound philo
sophical discernment in interpreting
the moods and characters as the
great epic moves swiftly through the
mighty incidents to the tragic close.
Family of Soldiers.
Dr. House traces the Neihardt
family back some 500 years, and
points out that all American Nei
hardts arc descendants of three
brothers who settled in Pennsylvania
in 1737. He points out that in Amer
ica the Neihardts have been in the
forefront of pioneer movements from
Pennsylvania to Oregon and have
been represented in all the wars of
the country. Fourteen Neihardts
were soldiers of the revolution, . lie
finds, and John G. Neihardt's own
father was a sergeant in the Spartish
Amricin war. ;
The professor traces the poet from
his early, boyhood when he planned
to be an inventor and had the back
yardtocked with diminutive engines
and battleships, through the days
when he trsynped in Kansas, up
through the period when he strug
gled for literary recognition, and
into the years' of the present decade
when the poet sees his great epic
work cut out for him and will not
be turned into by-paths. .
Even todav editors of some of the
leading magazinestiH occasionally
write Niehardt intimate letters say
ing, "John, won't you just sit down
and write us one of -those short sto
ries as you used to do?"
"answers that he has no time to spare.
Nor has he time-for short stories,
though the magazines beg for them,
for his big work now is to complete
the American epic cycle he has be
gun. . He has completed two voi
umes. "The Song of Hugh Glass"
and, "The Song of Three Friends,"
and he has mapped out three more
volumes to complete the cycle. He
expecis iu lane iuui jMis-ni wmt
each volume.
"V Visits the Red Men.
Though he works with great in
tensity, and often arises in the mid
dle of tlie night to continue his
work, he averages 100 lines per
month, or about three or four lines
per day.
Is it any wonder that these lines
have a silken polish when, completed'
and that the critics have already
placed him beside Homer?
Is it any wonder that -his line
soften into velvet in the more deli
cate moods and slash like blue
blades of lightning in the more tense
situations? Is it any wonder that
the Neihardt epics are found flaw
less by the critics?
Since this Nebraska poet finds his
western material by spending many
nights with the Sioux survivors of
the Custer massacre, by visiting day
after day with officers and soldiers
of the Sioux wars, by eating and
sleeping with' the surviving scouts
and plainsmen and since .he has mas
tered the technique of poetry even
beyond the point attained by Shake
speare and some of the older mas
ters; is it any wonder that leading
critics today pronounce him the
most significant poet now writing in
English?
Dr. House traces the development
of Neihardt's masterly technique and
says His Trairie itorm Rune is a
remarkable ilistance of anomato
poeia, wholly, 'avoiding the bizarre
effects of such work as Poe's 'Bells.'
but achieving a far more perfect use
of sound to convey the whole mean
ing of the poem.
Twelve Years Ago a Dream.
The professor also calls especial
attention to Neihardt's "Battle Cry,"
which is considered by many tb
most remarkable shout of encour
agement to the man fighting a los
ing battle tbt has yet found its way
into English. The professor points
out that Clarence Darrow quoted
the thundering lines to the jury in
concluding his own defense in Los
Angeles and that many present de
clare the effect on the jury had much
to do with his acquittal.
Dr. House points out that as
much as 12 years ( ago Neihardt's
dream of writing the American Epic
began to shape itself when he made
a trio down-the Missouri from the
ead waters in Montanf-in a canoe
to write a prose "epic of the river
for fhe Outing Majazine. whose edi
tor had cntracted wjth him for the
story. It was at that timehat fei

bust made by his wife.
hardt pointed but that the Missouri
river is an . unwritten epic in itself
and said, "Not the deeds, but Homer
and Aeschylus were great we have
the facts but we have not Homer."
Gradually then Dr, House traces
the poet's development of the im
pulse to write the American epic.
He points ut Neihardt's wholly
original conception of the place of
conquest of the American west in
the whole world scheme of the march
of progress. Neihardt conceives the
conquest of the Transmissouri coun-J

ot the Aryan peoples out of Meso

across Europe, across America to
the Pacific slope. And the profes-.
sor notes that each phase of this
movement, covering a period of
thousands of years, has produced its
epic.
, Make Way For Future.
"Out of this period," says - Dr.
House, "the poet has chosen the
epic figures, the individuals who epit
omize the high mood of courage
that characterizes all epics'.. Homer's
two poems, constituting one epic, are
concerned with two figures, Achilles
and Udysseus. It is a tale ot single
combats, hero against tiero, god

So in Neihardt s two poems the ex
ploits of single individuals reveal

the fact that everyone will not in

critics underestimate the value of

Describes Prairie Fire.
Nor was this prairie fire described
by a man who never saw one. Liv
ing ituj'estern. Kansas in the early
'80s, John G. Neihardt as a small
boy witnessed these destructive
pneiuomena in all their furious
grandeur, and the fire he describes
is thus authentiq:
"Infernal geysers gushed and sudden
stream
Of rainbow fluxwent roartna; up the
skies
Through ghastly travesties of Paradise,
Where, drowsy In the tropic summertlde.
Strange gaudy flowers bloomed and aged
and died
Whole seasons In a moment bloody
Blown s'lant Ilka Uprll silver, spewed the
plain
To
I. fell
the fallow sod; and where It
rAn.mone and violets of hU
Fnreran 1h fatal summer.
Overhead
Inverted seas of color rolled and broke,
And from the combera of the lltten amok
On they went,
A stinging spindrift showered:
Unconscious of duration or extent,
Of everything but that from which they
fled.
Now sloping to an ancient river bed,
The prairie flattened plunging down
ward there.
The riders suddenly became aware
How surged beneath a mighty ahadew-
stream
As though the dying pratrla dreamed a
dream
Of yesterage when all her valleys flowed
With amasona, and monster Ufa abode
Upan her breaat and quickened In her
womb.
And from that rushing la the name
smeared gloom
Unnumbered outcries blended In the roar.
The headlong ponies struck the sounding
shore
And reared upon their haunches far and
near,
The valley waa aflood with elk and deer
And buffalo and wolves and antelope
And whatsoever creature slough and slops
Along the path ot terror had to give.
Torrential with the common will to lira.
The river of unnumbered egos swept
The ponies with It."
U S. Art Students in

In Prize to French
. Paris, Aug. 28. Considerable feel
ing has been aroused among Ameri
can art students in Paris by the an
nouncement that Mrs. George
Blumenthal wife of the banker,
whose home contains one of the
mo-t celebraWd art collections in
New York, has given a fund with an
income of 120,000 francs a year for
prizes for French writers, artists
and musicians '
While the Americans have no de
sire to deprive the French of any
advantage, it li felt that encourage
ment given to American writers,
artists and musicians would not be
amiss.
It is a well-known fact that Amer
ican students in Paris are laboring
under extremely difficult financial
problems Those who have scholar
ships, given at pre-war rates, find
themselves utterly unable to cope
with theycost of Jiving as it is in
Fans today. Many of the American
students in Paris are on the verge
of starvation. Their . work is im
measurably hampered by these dif
ficulties, and the.y feel that Ameri
can art in general would benefit by
encouragement offered to them.
American tudents in Paris are look

COX CONTINUES
HIS TIRADE ON
REPUBLICANS
Democratic Nominee Declares
G.O.P. Efforts to Get Money
Are "Bold, Brazen or
Foolish'
New York. Aug. 28. Republican
efforts to raise presidential cam
paign funds were declared by Gov
ernor Cox here today to be "bold,
btazen or foolish."
On his first official visit to New
York since receiving the democratic
nomination for the presidency Gov
ernor Cox received a tumultuous wel
come On his arrival and then -delivered
two addresses in which he dealt
with republican campaign funds, the
league of nations and Americaniza
tion. The first address was given
at a luncheon at the National Dem
ocratic club and the second at po
lice field day at Gravcsend.
The governor, who in his ad
dresses declared the republican lead
ership "has simply gone mad," spoke
at the club before several hundred
prominent democrats, both men and
women. (
Arriving here from New Haven
about an hour ahead of schedule, the
presidential candidate found thou
sands of men and women massed in
the terminal to greet him.
' As he left his train, on which" he
breakfasted, he was greeted by a
comTnittte . of democratic women.
Proceeding down the platform, he
found th train crew lined up to re
view Ins party and with each man
the governor, shook hands.
The real reception, however, came
when Mo Cox entered the potunda.
An aisle had been roped off. He
found not only the main floor, but
galleries and the grand staircase,
thronged with men. Appearance of
Governor Cox's partj? halted even
the rush of vacationists, who on Sat
urdays are to be seen dashing
through the station, intent on only
'one thing getting a scat.
As the presidential nominee, who
this afternon is to deliver an ad
dress at the police games at Graves
end, reached thelcenter of the hall
prolonged cheering broke out, fol
lowed by cries for a speech. Then
came' the rain of flowers.
Hundreds of men and women
were' waiting when the governor
reached the National Democrat club,
where a reception was tendered him.
They were formed in one great, line
winding in and out the hallways and
rooms of the big club house and
overflowing for mbre than a block
along Fifth avenue.- The presiden
tial nominee smiled 'as he passed
down the line shaking hands with
his admirers, who cheered him re
