AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST WHILE

SOCIALIST VOLCANO SPOUTS ITS LAVA.

A RIPPING NUMBER.

“The Internationalist,” edited by George Sylvester Viereck, assisted by Joseph Bernard Rethy and Aleister Crowley and published at 1123 Broadway, New York city, is another journal more or less of the bolsheviki type with a wide circulation. The January 1918 number contains matter furnished by Edward Kelly, Clytle Hazel Kearney, Mark Wells, George Raffalovich, Lola Ridge and Heinrich Heine. The journal very appropriately says:

The next number of the International is so good that even our office boy admires it. In fact, he devoted an entire day to reading the proofs, and he had been ordered to deliver them forthwith to the printer.

“Gee whiz,” exclaimed that youth, “the stuff in this number is certainly ripping; better than anything of Nick Carter or Buffalo Bill. I never read the International before,” he continued, “but from now on I certainly am going to read every number.

Curiously enough, our office boy’s opinion of the International coincides with the opinion entertained by a certain professor in Harvard university. This professor said the International was “all things to all men.”
