Sorolla and Ibanez

Sorolla, the famous Spanish artist,
has just returned to his home in Valen-
cia from the island of lviza, one of the
Balearic group in the Mediterranean,
where he has been spending the sum-
mer painting. He is enthusiastic over
this picturesque spot, place that is
so wildly portrayed by Sorolla's fell
low townsman. Vicente Blasco Ibanez
in his novel "Thc Dead Command"
we'll known to American readers
through the English translation by
Frances Douglas, published by the
house of Duifeld & Co. The most
striking picture which Sorolla painted
during his sojourn in Iviza repre-
sents the landing Of cargo o. con-
traband goods on the Iviza shore,
a characteristic scene, recalling Blasco
Ibanez's character of Toni Clapes. the
smuggler, in "The Dead Command" 1t
is interesting to hear that this paint
ing is to figure in the collection Of al
American millionaire. and will be on
exhibition in New YoN during the
coming winter.

under Bismarck Between 1890 and 1900
DR.. Grelling founded. with other paci
fists, the German Peace League, which
soon spread over Germany in series
of local committees, but on account of
the spread of militarism and chauvin-
ism it exerted little or no influence on
German opinion. The conviction that
German democracy must decline and
be without influence so long as the
Hohenzollern and Prussian militarism
held command in Germany led DR..
Grelling, at the end of the '90s. to
withdraw from active politics and to
live only for his scientific and literary
work.
DR.. Greling is now busy as ever with
careful researches into the history Of
the years preceding the war. The defense

animation which have held the majority

Mr.. Untermeyer and Vers Libre

AS one OF the many embryonic poets
VINO have not yet come under Mr.. Louis
Untermeyer's eager and patronizing
eye, would like to voice a polite
protest against his dicta and Miss Re-
becca Druckers interviewed interpre-
tation Of them.
FIRST and foremost, there is the moot
matter Of vers libre, unshackled forms,
etc. Both the poet and his interviewer
stress this phase Of current literature
But is 1T an accurate reflection of our
poetry-even if one grants the "racy
and Indigenous" quality of our verse :?
Robert Frost. cited as one of the best
Of our "new" poets, writes almost en-
tirely in blank verse; Vachel Lindsay,
another of Mr.. Untermcyer's pet in
surgents, has never written a poem
without rhyme; Edwin Arlington Rob-
inson, surely a definitely American
product, uses Gas the critic of "Thc New
Era concedes) the strictest of old me-
ters and classic measures; Mr. Inter.
meyer himself has never disdained to
employ all the resources of traditional
rhythm and formal standards.
1T seems to me that, while there is
undoubted truth and discernment in
the poet-appraiser's summary, he is
placing undue emphasis on thing
that exists mainly in theory Poetry
Is surely attaining a new strength in
America, but when all our achievements
in verse are summed up under the
head of "free verse;" that-as another
"racy' American poet has Observed
us something else again, y under
stand" R. M. G.

Napoleon
Philosophical Motive
In MIR. I rench S Play

NAPOLEON. By Herbert Trench. Oxford
University Press. New York.
The best built dramatic editice is
certain to break down under an ex
cessive load of philosophical super
structure. Ibsen very conclusively
demonstrated this fact in The En-
peror and the Galilean"; Mr.. Trench
fails on smaller scale, but quite as
decisively, in "Napoleon."
The drama takes place at the time
when Napoleon was contemplating an
invasion of England from Boulogne; !;
and the two principal characters are
the French Emperor himself and a
young idealistic Englishman who ad-
mires Napoleon as leader of the
French revolutionary forces, but hates
him as conqueror and dictator
Despite the authors gallant efforts to
preserve their individuality these two
figures tend more and more to develop
into types of opposing historical
forces. Personal ambition, the instinc,
for domination, materialism, are per
sonified in Napoleon; his youthful op-
ponent expresses the spirit of ideal
ism, universal liberty and the brother
hood Of man.
The dialogue between these two con-
trasted characters in the third act is
easily the best passage in the play
both in its literary form and in its
content Abandoning the prose which
he employs throughout the first two
acts, the author sets forth the argu
nent between the two men in spirited
blank verse that compares favorabiy
with the best of his earlier poetry
The author sacrifices several promis-
| ing half formed minor characters or
! the altar of his philosophical drama.

An Author Goes to Sea

William McFee, author of "Aliens"
and "Casuals of the Sea-" who has a
new book scheduled for spring publi-
cation, arrived in New York the other
day with plans laid for a two or three
months stay and visits to several of
the larger cities. To-day Mr. McFee
is gone, vanished, fed to the high seas,
and the lecture bureau managers who
were trying to add him to their cir
cult of author-lecturers are still look
ing somewhat baffied from the sud
denness Of his departure.
He stayed in our midst exactly one
week. Then the call Of the sea
trlumphed over all the invitations that
were pressing in on him from friends
all over the country. He tried to fight
1T off, but the attempt was useless.
Finally, after week of pavements and
subways and hotels and theaters, he
packed up his things abruptly and
fed.
81 always write better and enjoy
life better at sea-" he explained.
Mr.. McFee's numerous friends here
are extremely disappointed, for the
shy British sailorman is the most de-
lightful of companions. The public,
though, should be glad. The sudden
departure means that the new McFee
book will almost certainly be ready
before the time he has contracted.

The Author of T Accuse"

cover the identity of the author was
ordered by the Swiss government The
sensation produced on two continents

closure was made that German, Dr.
Richard Grelling, was the author of
these books his American publishers,
the George II. Doran Company, were be-
sleged for particulars about this out
spoken and enlightened German patriot
of to-day. The following information
has just been received from abroad:
Or; Richard Grellng, the son of a
we'll known German merchant, was born
and brought up in Berlin. After finish
settled in his native city as legal rep
resentative in political and literary
processes. He was considered an au-
thority on all questions Of literary
rights and secured as clients the most
famous German literary men in that
storm and stress" time of young
Germany in the '9Os. The Prussian
censor was trying to suppress the new
literature SO full Of revolutionary opin-
ions. Or. Grelllng carried on the war
against the censor SO victoriously and
brought on the stage the threatened
plays, The Weavers." by G. Haupt-
mann; Hanna Jagert." by Haltleben,
and several dramas from his own pen,
among them the social drama, THE

Balkan Tales
National Life Reflected
In Translated Stories

SHORT STORIES FROM THE BALKANS
BY Edna Worthiey Underwood Pub
lished by the Marshall Jones Company
Edna Worthley Underwood has un-
dertaken to strengthen the entente be-
tween America and the hitherto sub
merged nationalities of the Balkans by
translating a representative collection
of short stories from the Czech, Ru-
manian, Montenegrin. Serbian and
Croatian literatures. They are cruder
and wilder in fashion than tales of the
Russian, but they are colored by the
same striving for realism. They are for
the most part stories of the peasantry
and they make vivid to foreigners
simple and primitive habits of mind
Some are grim and some are gay, and
perhaps the grim ones are more easily
understood by the AngloSaxons than

Miss Lewis Replies

"Dear, proper Miss Lewis" is having
no end Of fun over the comments on
her recent letter. Some display such
an amusing ignorance of human nature
and its ways, such lack of logic and
such a failure to see the point of her
letter as to be most amusing.
For one thing, they take no note of
the fact that her approval of some
censorship applied only to public libra
ries. The writers seem quite at sea
as to whether there is such a thing as
morality (Heaven save usD and are
also unable to discern between it and
immortality. One might think they
were moles who had lived so long
underground that their eyes were quite
useless in the light. One almost ques-
tions whether they can be citizens of
the same country that has produced
the innlimerable sturdy, clear-eyed
characters that have made the United
States what it is. Or should I say,
saved it from what it would otherwise
have become.

wrong relations between men and wom-
