MR.. K1pI1yCs SUR.
OPINION AMONG PUBLISHERS AS TO HIS REAsoN
FOR BR1xofNo IT.


1t has not been possible to ascertain definitely
the reason for Rudyard Kpins's impending suit
against the publishing house Of @. p. Putnam's
Sons, to 5000 damages for "approprai ting
his property" as Augustus T. Gurlitz. who IA Mr..
Kiplng's counsel. declines for professional reasons
to give out the cause of the action. but the con-
sensus OF opinion among publishers Is that the au-
thors grievance lies principally IN the Putnams
inclusion In their Complete Collected Edition OF
his Departmental Ditties" These consist Of Mr.
Kiplings earliest poems. and he is so far preju-
diced against their perpetua'ion that he has not
included them in the Outward Bound edition OF
his works. which Is being compiled by himself and
published by Charles scrbner's Sons.
1t is said that the Putnam firm also incurred his
displeasure by including In their edition the ken
of KipIing" which is a short history OF his life.
and adding to the volume entitled THE Seven
Seas" his "Recessionar' ode and a poem entitled
The Vampire" He is thought to have objected

LAID themselves open to legal action l
Yesterday, and thought that It had resulted from
on the part OF the Putnam house to infrihse Mr..
Kiplings rights as an author.
Il think the customary comfy between publish
ers and authors warrants the opinion that the
Messrs. Putnam intended no wrong. said one pub
Usher Mr.. Kipling is peculiar genius, you know.
and he may have taken sudden dislike TO this use
of his works
George 7. Brett. president OF the Macmillan Com
pany, said yesterday that from a publishers point
OF view he should think Mr.. Kipng was In the
right.

really know all the facts in the case" ne said n
