U.S. Official Bulletin No. 55, p. 8, July 14, 1917
Mr. J. M. Shaffer may be appointed to a classified position in the Treasury Department without reference to civil service rules. This order is issued on the recommendation of the Secretary of the Treasury, who states that Mr. Shaffer has been temporarily employed in the Treasury Department on a contract basis in connection with the liberty loan, and that his services have proved so valuable that his permanent appointment will be greatly in the interests of the service.
Mr. Shaffer was formerly employed in the Department of Agriculture as a result of a civil service examination, and served there from August, 1913, to August, 1916, at which time he resigned. He is eligible for reinstatement in that department, but under the civil service rules would have to serve there six months before he would be eligible for transfer to the Treasury Department.

Mr. Benajah D. Dyas may be appointed as a stock keeper in the competitive classified service in the Government Printing Office without examination.
Mr. Dyas was elected to represent the Joint Committee on Printing, effective October 15, 1913, and has been stationed at the Government Printing Office since that date, serving on boards of inspection and condemnation and on the specification committee which fixes the standard requirements for all paper used in the office. As a member of these boards he has been required to pass upon all equipment and supplies purchased by the office, representing an expenditure of several million dollars annually. He has gained expert knowledge of paper stock, materials, and supplies, and his employment will be of great advantage and saving to the office. The printing office is in urgent need of the expert services of Mr. Dyas, such need being increased by the recent loss by death of a stock keeper and by the relinquishment of several experienced employees for service with the War Department.
In view of the facts the Civil Service Commission concurs in a recommendation for the order.

The provision of the civil-service rules limiting reinstatements to one year is waived in the case of Mr. George B. Taylor, who voluntarily resigned from a position of chief of division in office of the Secretary of War on April 27,1916.
Since Mr. Taylor resigned from the War Department he has been continuously engaged in disbursing and accounting work. The Secretary of War expresses the opinion that his knowledge of Government estimates, financial records, disbursements, and accounts, and the practice under the various laws and regulations affecting them make his case one in which it would be primarily for the benefit of the Government to employ his services in the emergent conditions confronting the War Department.

Schedule A, subdivision IV, paragraph 3 of positions excepted from the requirement of examination, is hereby amended to read as follows by the addition of the words printed in italics:
    3. United States Army Transport Service: Longshoremen employed by the department at ports In the United States; trade and noneducational employees in the Philippine Islands; all employees on transport ships other than clerks; and, so far as may be found necessary by the department during the present war, all subclerical and nonclerical employees constituting the working forces for operating the piers of Hoboken, New Jersey, and at other seaports.
This amendment is based upon the representation of the department that owing to the peculiar location of the piers, the character of operations, the absolute necessity to safeguard property and material, and the requirement of absolute loyalty and reliability, it is necessary that these employees be selected because of known efficiency and reliability.
The Civil Service Commission concurs in the recommendation.

In order to effect the more expeditious construction of the Post Office Department equipment shops building, Washington, D. C., which is being materially delayed by reason of the fact that the contractors are unable to secure and retain a sufficient number of carpenters and other workmen because the provisions of law prohibiting more than eight hours of labor in any one calendar day apply to these workmen, while such provisions have been suspended in connection with certain other Government work and have no application to contracts between private parties for construction work where large forces of men are employed at and in the vicinity of Washington and are paid bonuses for overtime, and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the provisions of the act of Congress approved March 4, 1917, entitled "An act making provisions for the naval service for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918, and for other purposes," whereby it is provided that in case of national emergency the President is authorized to suspend provisions of law prohibiting more than eight hours labor in any one day by persons engaged upon work covered by contracts with the United States, provided further, that the wages, of persons employed upon such contracts shall be computed on a basic day rate of eight hours work with overtime rate to be paid for at not less than time and one-half for all hours work in excess of eight hours. I do hereby suspend the provisions of law prohibiting more than eight hours of labor in any one day by persons engaged in the construction of the Post Office Department equipment shops building, at Fifth and W Streets, NE., Washington, D.

Mrs. Mary C. Ritenour, of the District of Columbia, may be appointed to a clerical position in the classified service at a salary not to exceed $900 per annum without regard to the civil service rules.
Mrs. Ritenour was appointed as a printer's assistant in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in August, 1913, under her maiden name of Mary Carmody, through certification from the civil service register. On April 10, 1915, she was married to Willie H. Ritenour, an employee in the General Land Office, when she resigned her position. On or about April 1, 1917, Mr. Ritenour enlisted as a seaman in the United States Naval Reserves and was assigned to night guard duty at the navy yard, Washington, D. C., and was mortally wounded while in the discharge of such duty on the night of April 11, 1917, through the accidental discharge of a pistol while being relieved from duty through no fault of his own, leaving his widow with one child six months old.
In view of these facts and as Mr. Ritenour was among one of the first to respond to the call of his country on the declaration of War against Germany, the employment of Mrs. Ritenour without examination is considered justified.

​P'AN Lei 潘耒 (T. 次耕, H. 稼堂, 止止居士), 1646–1708, Nov. 11, scholar, was a native of Wu-chiang, Kiangsu, and a younger half-brother of P'an Ch'êng-chang [q. v.]. When the latter was involved in the case of Chuang T'ing-lung [q. v.] P'an Lei lived in disguise in his mother's home under the assumed name of Wu Ch'i 吳琦. He studied under Ku Yen-wu, Hsü Fang [qq. v.] and Tai Li 戴笠 (T. 耘野, H. 曼公, original ming 鼎立, T. 則之), and in 1679 was summoned to Peking to take the special examination known as po-hsüeh hung-tz'ŭ (see under P'êng Sun-yü) which he passed as the youngest scholar on the list. Among the fifty successful competitors only he, Chu I-tsun [q. v.], Li Yin-tu (see under Ch'ü Ta-chün), and Yen Shêng-sun 嚴繩孫 (T. 蓀友, H. 藕漁, 1623–1702) had not previously held an official post nor acquired a degree—a coincidence that caused them to be known as "the four cotton-clothed scholars" 四布衣, or commoners.
Made a Hanlin corrector and appointed one of the compilers of the history of the Ming Dynasty (Ming-shih), he edited the section on political economy, known as shih-huo chih 食貨志, and the biographical sketches (lieh-​chuan 列傳) that deal with the early years of that dynasty. Young, scholarly, and unacquainted with the ways of officialdom, he was degraded in 1684 on the charge of being "impatient and petulant". He at once resigned, and although his official title was restored in 1703, he devoted the remaining years to travel and literary pursuits. His collected essays and poems, entitled 遂初堂集 Sui-ch'u t'ang chi, in 40 chüan, printed in 1710; and a work on phonology, entitled 類音 Lei-yin, in 8 chüan, printed in 1712, received notice in the Imperial Catalogue (see under Chi Yün). In 1695 P'an Lei printed the final redaction of Ku Yen-wu's well-known miscellaneous notes entitled Jih-chih lu. About the same time he also printed a collection of ten monographs by Ku, known as T'ing-lin shih-chung (for both works see under Ku Yen-wu).

​P'AN Ch'êng-chang 潘檉章 (T. 聖木, H. 力田), d. July 1, 1663, age 38 (sui), historian, was a native of Wu-chiang, Kiangsu. Refraining from taking the examinations under the newly established Manchu regime, he and Wu Yen [q. v.] determined in 1652 to collaborate on a history of the Ming dynasty and on an historical account of the same period in poetical form. The former was destroyed in manuscript; the latter, which was completed in 1656 under the title of Chin yüeh-fu, has come down to our time, although banned by imperial decree (for both works see under Wu Yen). P'an himself wrote a book of biographical sketches of famous people of his own district, entitled 松陵文獻 Sung-ling wên-hsien, in 15 chüan and a work supplementing and correcting the Shih-lu or official records of the Ming emperors, which he entitled "Discrepancies in the National History" (國史考異, Kuo-shih k'ao-i). Six chüan of the latter (originally there were more than 30) may be seen in the Kung-shun t'ang ts'ung-shu (see under P'an Tsu-yin). The Sung-ling wên-hsien was preserved by his half-brother, P'an Lei [q. v.], whose preface states that it was printed in 1694. P'an Ch'êng-chang and Wu Yen were arrested in March 1663 because their names appeared as assistant compilers of the Ming-shih chi-lüeh of Chuang T'ing-lung [q. v.]. They were put to death in Hangchow early in July of the same year.

# Fifteen Poets of Modern Japan/Foreword

Foreword
he extraordinary appreciation accorded our earlier book of translations, Three Women Poets of Modern Japan, has led us to prepare the present collection, and to issue it as a companion volume to the other. Our aim this time is broader than before. Instead of confining ourselves to the feminine point of view and the tanka (thirty-one syllable) form, we are introducing poets of both sexes and a variety of lyric forms. It has frequently been said that Japanese poets have no ability to sustain their effects—that they are limited, either by temperament or tradition, to the briefest poetic flights. In general this assertion is borne out by fact. More and more, however, the longer lyric is finding a place in Japanese literature, and while the average Western reader is not accustomed to look upon a poem of fifteen or twenty lines as long, such a poem appears quite extensive to one whose ​conception of poetry is based chiefly on a familiarity with minute hokku and slightly longer tanka.
The rapidly-spreading knowledge of the fundamental characteristics of Japanese poetry would seem to make unnecessary another expository essay in that field. The spontaneity, the simplicity, the mental ingenuity, the charmingly impressionistic pictorialism which we have come to expect from Japanese poets are all exemplified once again in the present collection. It is a pleasure to bring to Western shores such charmingly wrought gifts as these—even though they may have been marred somewhat in their long journey from the East.
