FIE AS POET
Chicago, Dec. 15—Praised by Rub
kin, Gosse and Swinburne for a
verse written while he was iu his
'teens, Scharmel Iris, oace a hustl
ing newsie, is doing literary hack
work, teaching Italian andifingering
happily today "Lrrios of . a lad,"
his first book, and what is said to
be the first book of verses by an
Italian published in fcn&iisn Iji this
country. }
Iris was a newsie when Ruskin.
the great English critic, praised his
verse. When he was thirteen the
poet Swinburne wrote to a New York
paper a tribute to his verse. Yet
in rpite of this recognition Iris
continued as a factory worker. He
is now twenty-five years old, and
so far as finance*? are concerned, a
literary hack, but his book" is on
sale, and Iris is happy.
"It will redound to the credit of
my dear Italy," he says.

dairy commissioners from a dozen
mid-western states are here today,

ed to benefit the farmer Who furn
ishes clean thick cream and
eventually means an improvement

Will Gash Over
The Resolution
Washington, Dec. 15—A sharp
clash between powerful elements in
congress and the administration over
questions of navy and army policy
is looked for at this season.
Large numbers of members, of I
both republican and democratic
parties, say this country must wake
up and do something with refer
ence to preparedness for defense.
The Gardner resolution lor an in
quiry will have strong support.
President Wilson is opposed
the Gardner resolution, aud has
no sympathy with the agitation
of the question of preparedness. It
is erpeccear mat ne wm vypwo*> ««
lowing army and nary officers to
give testimony before a commission
named in pursuance of fhe Gardner
resolution.
Secretary of War Garrison takes
'he position that Gardner or any
commlttee-ln congress mar have all
tha information desired concerning |
the military establishment but that
suofe Information must come through
him and through "loose relations" j
between army officers and congress.
If tha cirtiTrttf»« tnkoa Up tllt»
Gardner rseolution, secretary Gar
rison, expects he will ba tha first
witness called; as the responsible
officer of the government. But sec
retary Garrison will probably refU3e
to detail officers to appear before
congress to give testimony.
However, should the inquiry be
made, by no means will it be under
the control of the administration or
of the war department. Men will
probably be called in who are quite
as well informed about national de
fense as army officers, aud whose
Ideas are well matured, some of
the foremost adjutant generals of
the states may be called, colonel
Roosevelt may be summoned. Form
al1 Secretary of War Stlmson is sug
gested as a valuable witness. Prom
inent civilians who have given
thought to tha policy of prepared
ness are likely to be scked to give
testimony .
