Col. Greig Writes Of Service Given
to Soldiers by the Huts

Appreciation Of the work Of the
Y. M. C. A. in France is contained in
letter to Albert NJ. Chesley, divi-
sional secretary for the 'fY" stationed
in the Champagne district in France,
from Col. A. Greig, jr commander OF
a camp in that district. Mr.. Chesley
was formerly connected with the
Washington branch.
An excerpt from Col. Greig's letter
follows:
II understand that your organiza-
ton, the Y. NJ C. A., is soon to erect
a new hut at this camp. This leads
me to express to you my apprecia-
ton of the splendid work your or
ganization is doing.
your hut for the enlisted men,
where you provide them with music,
a billiard table and reading and writ
ing materials. is largely responsible
for contentment of this camp. The
support that the Y. NJ c. A gives to
athletics and the. value OF its cinema
shows cannot be underestimate.
"I wish that the people at home
Y. NJ. C. A. is doing and how largely
responsible it is for the majority OF
letters from the A. E. F.. for Wife
mother and friend"
ut should be the duty of every ofd-
Ger and man Of the American expe-
dictionary forces to write their rela-
tives to generously support the Y: M.
c. A. I am told that the American
section Of the Y. NJ. c. A., which op-
crates entirely with the United States
Army and Navy. has $50 huts open.
and the section with the French army
has during its existence established
sal huts, but. through losses caused
by gunfire, only $50 remain.
Here also at this camp. through
the Kindness Of the 2. NJ. G. A., the
officers are provided with an assem-
bly, and billiard room, WI ere maya
ont this room the officers would have
no gathering place, and I assure you
it is appreciated"

THE RUSSIAN SHAKESPEARE
BY Norman HapgOO

Gilbert Murray is needed for Russia's
greatest poet-a translator of his verse who
could bring the Russian Shakespeare as near
to English speaking peoples as Mr.. Murray
has brought Euripides. This need was re-
called on seeing in the Springfield Republi-
can, one of our most cultivated newspapers
the attempt of correspondent to render
one of the Pushkins poems He gave the
meaning, but to give anything like the
poetry would require the lucky combina-
ton of knowledge and literary faculty that
Mr.. Murray possesses. Many Of us have
come to look upon Tostoi and Dostoevsky
as the two greatest literary figures who have
fourished in the last seventy-ive years. Yet
both of these men are held by Russians as
clearly below Pushkin as we hold Milton
below Shakespeare. This feeling for the
foremost figure of Russion literature can be
found earnestly expressed in the letters of
DOstOevsky. 10 translate verse is always
IN part to traduce it, yet even by those
who are not linguists some flashes from
Goethe s Faust may be discerned, or from
Dante, while of NIoliere, large part is open
in all tongues. A poet like Aeschylus,
where the language is beaten gold is al
most untranslatable but I understand with
joy that Mr. Murray is to make the expert
ment. The problem of putting Pushkin in
TO Engl1Sn is mUch easier 1t is not so easy
as translating Moliere, but it is about like
putting Shakespeare into German. It surely
ought to be done; but don't all speak at
once.
Not many Of us are familiar with the
works of Pushlzin, the national poet of Rus
STA; and it is doubtful if very many of us
are familiar even with the outstanding facts
in the history Of his life.
When Peter the Great was Gar of Russia
some African potentate presented him with
full-blooded Negro of gigantic STATURE
Peter, the most eccentric ruler of modern
times dressed this Negro in soldier clothes,
christened him Hannibal and made him
special body guard.
But Hannibal had more than size, he had
brain and ability. He not only looked well
in a military uniform, he showed that he
had in him the making Of real soldier.
Peter eventually made him general, and
afterwards ennobled him. Hannibal, later,
married one Of the ladies of the Russian
court This same Hannibal was great grand
father of Pushkin, the national poet of Rus
