Eden Phillpotts, Hugh Walpole
and W. J. Locke have each and all
written novels dealing with the
war, but in no case have surpassed
their best previous effort. The ef-
feet Of the outbreak Of the war in
1914 on rank and riches has been
admirably portrayed in Archibald
Marshall's charming story, "The Old
Order Changeth," the fourth in his
series dealing with the Clinton fam
lily. When the aristocratic old squire

multi-millionaire, Armitage Brown,

affected, and the extraordinary d.
versity Of human beings presented
in this story are matters for high
praise; to me the book is marred
by the young woman who sees
things; she sees altogether too
much for my credulity. Perhaps,
however, this is a part of the books
realism, for people are never so
credulous as in time of war.
One of the cleverest, though not
one of the greatest war novels, is
"Christine," which purports to be
actual letters written by young
English girl from Germany to her
mother in the days preceding the
war; the correspondence abruptly
ceases, owing to the heroine's death
from pneumonia. "The New York
Nation" was taken in by this book,

in America and in England. The

gaunt figure

Among the many poems produced
by Englishmen. in the summer of
1914 l then thought that august,
1914" by John Masefeld, was alto
gether the best; and after four years
l see no reason to change my mind.
That particular summer was one of
the loveliest men remember to have
ever graded the island; the country
side seemed to breathe out calm and
peace. Then came the terrible
change, sudden, overwhelming. This
dramatic contrast is expressed in
language worthy of the occasion by
the English poet, whose elegiac verse
harmonizes the summer evening and
in it's restrained dignity glorifes the
thousands of English rustics who
have left scenes inexpressibly dear
to fight for England in foreign fields.
Thomas Hardy was not nearly so
fortunate in his poem "Men Who
March Away" which was editorially
parodied by "The New York Sun"
In his latest volume, however, "Mo-
ments Of Vision," the war has in
splred a number of lyrics that must
take rank among his best. The one
with the title taken from the Book
of jeremiah, "In Time Of the
Breaking Of Nations,'" has the touch
of permanence, the last starza re-
one Of the conclusion of
Browning's "Love Among the Ruins"
William Watson achieved his best
not in his Kaiser curse but in the
little poem "There's panzies-that's
for thoughts" His patriotic poetry,
however, which appeared in the two
volumes published in 1917, is strong
and glowing.
Alfred Noyes, who had prophesied
in 1911 that England, who hated
war, would surely fight for a great
Idea, has written much admirable
verse during the last four years. The
first stanza of his fine poem "The

owing to the fact that renaissance
Of poetry had set in, both in Great
Britain and America, before the war
started. Poets of established reputa-
tion have made notable additions to
their fame, and host of hitherto un-
heard of writer's have acquired repu-
tation. One reason for this is that
youth takes to writing rhymes as
duck to water; think of the vast num-
Der of staid business men of middle
age who have been guilty Of adoles-
cent odes! Amid the millions Of
young men in the trenches it is not
surprising that so many have pro-
duced poems. And there is another
reason. These boys are all under the
shadow of death. No one likes to be
entirely forgotten. They all know
the time may be short, and that their
one chance for remembrance is
through the printed.word. Living in
the midst of burning experience, in
spired by the ardor of youth, and
dreading dumb forgetfulness-it is
no wonder that they write verse with
such eagerness. In the last letter
from that gallant soldier-poet, Alan
Seeger, he said, 81 will write you
soon if get through all right. If
not, my only earthly care is for my
POEMS"
Although this young man had some
recognition at Harvard as an Under
graduate who loved literature, he
there gave no indication of his true
ability. The war was his inspira-
tion, and his greatest poems came
out Of the fierce heat of the conflict.
which fused his soul and language.
Everybody knows II Have Rendez-
vous with DEATH" but not so many
are familiar with the splendid "Ode
in Memory Of the American Volun-
teers Fallen in France" So far as
we can judge, Alan Seeger has made
some permanent contributions to
American literature.
In the early days of the European
war Vachel Lindsay wrote his SOL
emn and stately poem, "Abraham
Lincoln Walks at Midnight" This
is original verse of distinction; and
the tragedy is made more real by the
touches of honeliness beftting the
gaunt figure.
New-York tribune., 1918-07-28


against fearful destruction. 1t will
not do to overestimate this. The
world war has lasted about as lonr
as the American Civil War, and al
though probably many works then
produced seemed like additions to lit
erature, we know now that very few
productions that owed their origin to
that contest have any permanent ar
tistic value. Some Of Walt Whit
mans best poems, notably 90 Cap
tain! Ny Captain!" and "When Lii
lacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed,7
Lowell's Commemorative Ode"
Julia Ward Howe's Battle Hymn of
the Republic" about exhaust
the list. Curiously enough, the best
poem about the Confederate soldiers
was written by an Englishman,
William Ernest Henley.
No great novel came out of the
Civil War except "The Red Badge of
Courage" produced in 1895 by e
young man who had never seen that
or any other war. 1t bore to 1860-'65
time relation analogous to that be-
tween "War and Peace" and 1912.
The Great" Novel
And Devouring Time
Yet, despite this meagre residuum,
l suppose that fifty years ago read
ers estimated their war poems and
stories more highly than we regard
them now. Indeed, l can remember
when "a FOOLS Errand" was herald
ed on all sides as great novel; peo-
pie spoke Of it with awe. This fact
should lead us to be rather cautious
in assigning permanent fame to this
or that new book. A work may have
particular interest in it's own day
and generation, give pleasure and
even inspiration to many, and yet
lose the fight against devouring time.
The enormous number of books
just outside the realms of pure liter
ature-dealing with European battle
fields, with economic conditions both
real and speculative, with the prob
lematical basis Of permanent peace,
need hardly be considered here. They
are necessarily ephemeral, like the
works dealing with the Russian revo-
luton, about dozen Of which stand
on my desk. Affairs in Russia will;
not stay still long enough to be pho
tographed, much less to be written
about. One might as we'll try to use
a matchbox at the French front as to
write book on present Conditions
in Russia" But if one wishes to un-
derstand, first, the more remote and
yet real causes that led to the revolu-
ton, and, second, the Russian peas
ant as he is, ] can recommend two
books which have contemporary ant:
permanent value, both of which first
appeared in America in 1916. The
first is Professor Kornilov's "Mod-
ern Russian History" the second is II
work of extraordinary insight and
charm, Russian and Nomad," writ
ten by clear-headed business man,
E. Nelson Fell.
Nor have philippics, even by pro-
fessional authors, exhibited much lit
erary merit. At the outbreak of hos
tilities every soldier drew his sword
and every poet his pen. But just now
the sword is rnightier than the pen.
We are beating ploughshares and
pruning hooks into spears and bay
onets. You can't kill the Kaiser with
bottle of ink, for even if you should
hit him with it ink would make no
mark on his reputation. No, the only
way peace can be brought to this
world is by hitting the Kaiser with
the arguments he understands-bul-
let's, bombs, bayonets. Verbal volleys

as a rule they have small objective
and less literary value.
