The new enterprise. (Madison, Fla.) 1901-1908, 1908-02-13

OF course this selection does not
meet with universal commentator.
Equally, of course, the omission of
Thackeray and Dickens was at once
noted and objected to by that section
of the public whose acquaintance with
English literature probably goes no
further than certain familiarity
with names. One of the trustees had
to explain that the official view was
that fiction occupied a less exalted
place in the hierarchy of literature
than other branches and was of a
more recent growth. Scott (whose
name is included In the list) had
other claims besides being a great
novelist, whereas the fame of Dick
ems and Thackeray rested almost en-
tirely upon their novels.
Lord Avebury (Sir John Lub-
bock) is trustee of the British Mu-
scum. In an interview he said he
was equally responsible with his fell
low-trustees for the selection made,
and he gave an interesting opinion
on the list as a whole.
Il had some little doubt about
Caxton," said Lord Avebury, mot as
TO the great services he had rendered
to literature, but as to whether he
was quite representative of English
literature in the same sense as the
other great writers. And in the same
way with reference to Tindale, I had
a little doubt, not in any way from
what he had done, but
! thought that HIS great services were
perhaps hardly services to literature.
On the whole, however, 1 think there
is a great deal to be said for inolud-
ing their names, and that otherwise
it is a very good selection"
In reply to a question as to
he would have included
Dickens and Thackeray If there had
been room, Lord Avebury said: IF
you ask whether, supposing there
had been twenty-ohe panels instead

would not like to say which two

ton"
Sidney Lee, the editor of the Die

luetantly, should be inclined to
sacrifice

George Bernard Shaw unhesitat-

began by knocking out Spenser. Then
he deleted Locke and Addison, and

Some Of his corrections are char
acteristic So is his comment;
II hastily correct the more out
rageous omissions. When you have
only nineteen windows It is ridicu-

by Japan, at the opening of the war
In the Far East.
This action has been decided upon
sideration. twill be taken for two
reasons--the protection of China and
the protection of American commerce.
China herself. II is understood. has
laid the situation lpfore the Washing
ton government. and Minister Wu Will
take 1t up In person with Secretary
Root and the President upon his ar
rival here Al the same time big
commercial interests in this country
have appealed to this government to
protest against the discrimination OF
the Japanese protectoratc against
American goods in favor of Japanese
where the two enter into competition.
Gradually the American commercial
world has grown to appreciate the
value OF the Manchurlam field. The
loss of II was realized during the Rus
so-Japanese War. Reports of Ameri-
can representatives in Manchurla bear
out the statements made by leading
commercial houses that Japan Mt
present discrlmlnates against foreign
merchants, Americans in particular.
The advance of Japan In Mnnchurla
has been carefully watched from
every point of view by the Washing
ton government. There appears TO
be but one object In the direct oppo-
sition to the American policy of the
open door" ana that IN the DISPOSE
tion of the powers to divide China
among themselves.
The Picking authorities would glad
~ unite in amy effort OH tho part of
the United States to check the pro-
gress OF Japan toward domination IN
China. Reports recently received
from officials show how little is
known by the alarmIsts who raise the
cry OF the yellow peril" The Chi
ncsc government has quietly dismiss
cd the Japanese officers who were
training the Chincst army. and the
Pcldng authorities are cndcavoring To
obtain the services of American OIL
GERS for their army The conclusion
| Ia that China Is through with Japan,
so far ms the possibility OF n military
or political alliance. and she is now
on the verge of appealing to tho Unit
cd States to save her being boldly de-
voured.
The attention of European dlplo-
mats already has been attracted Ia
this new situation. It. Is being
watched with marked interest. and
there has been already considerable
correspondence On the subject en-
changed between Washington cmbas-
sizes and European capitals.

Unfortunately the value of both Is lessened in foggy weather from there being but little motion of the sea. Nothing. too. is more difficult than to distinguish In d fog the direction from which sound comes. This is in part due doubtless to the interference offered to the straight course of the waves carrying the sound. but also probably to the absence of the normal. although un suspected. coordination of eye and ear ill locating the origin of sound.
