guerits Wilkinson in New Voices"
Certainly the pas; year has brought
forth enough anthOIOgies to lead a man
to anything, including suicide But Mrs
WiIkinsou's look Is not so much an
anthology as a study of what has been
happening to English poetry and poets
since 1900, illustrated by selected portions
of the poetry under discussion and in
200 cases by entire poems.
The book is a comparatively safe one
to study as Mrs Wilkinson is bipartisan
and kindly. These qualities may render her
criticism less entertaining than their cor
relative wees, but they add to the value
of her work as textbook. She Is, in ex-
preston, one of the least adamant Of our
critics and one Of the few capable of
writing book for the masses, being con-
sentative in her judgments Whatever her
tastes may be and believing that super
latives should be left to Time.
The book IS divided into two parts.
tie first consisting of chapters on
Rhythm, Diction, Images and Symbols,
HOsC Poems Are Made, in short articles
by Sara Teasdale, William Rose Benet.
Edwin Markham, Padraio Colum and
Harriet Monroe, and separate chapters
on Certain CoHSeT rdfire Poets and Ger
tain Radical Poets. Mrs. Wilkinson
divides the conservatives into two groups.
Among the moderate conservatives she in
cIudes Bliss Carman, Lizette Woodwork
Reese, Ada Foster Murray, John Ersdne
and Anna Hampstead Branch, and among
the ultra-eonseryatives Alfred Moves,
George Edward Woodbery and Olive
TilfOrd Dargan. The radicals include
Amy Lowell (arch RADICAL, James OPP
penheim, Carl Sandburg, Ezra Pound
WHOM Mrs. Wilkinson thinks too clever
TO be a pOet), and Alfred Kremborg We
quote the conclusion of the chapter on
radicals:
''Of the radical poets in general it may
be said that most of their work will die,
and die very soon. Nearly all of the
work Of nearly all poets dies, and dies
soon. But the history of the arts and Of
mankind seems to show that often it is
the great radicals of one generation who
survive and become types of the achieve
ment Of that generation and are conSid-
cred conservative by the succeeding gen
eraliOns.'
Particular attention is paid throughout
the first part to Masefeid, Robert Frost,
Edgar Lee Masters and Vachel Lindsay
''the spiritual descendant OF Mark Twain
and James Whitconb Riley, as American
as Riley's pumpkins or the Whitewash on
Tom Sawyers fence" The second part
is given to chapters on Democracy and

The binding is rather glittering and
gorgeous, but this also seems appropriate,
aud the "get up" as a whole is acceptable

ing Flint of a captain, George Allen Eng
land begins his new novel, Cursed, rat
thing good sea story Of the Malayan Isl
ands.
He wades right into the action OF the
book in the first chapter. where the first
mate narrowly escapes being PINNED to
the nizzenmast by quivcring kris Hung
by an irate Malay. In the second chapter
the same mate is seen desperately engaged
in a hand to hand scrimmage with the
drunken captain, and in the third he es-
eapes from the good ship Silver Fleece
with the cabin boy tucked under his arm
screaming curses at the aforesaid rum

to sea with such gallows crew.
This seems a very wise resolution on the
whole but proves disastrous in the end,
for they are promptly beheaded by the
natives instead Of being granted The priv
lege of dying OF yellow fever.
Mr. England you'd have TO look far and
wide to discover more appropriate title
for his book. The entire story is pune
tuated with round, rolicking oaths and
a lavish consumption Of Old Jamaica that
makes our poor thirsty mouths water re-
dundantiy. The author makes n point
of killing al least bakers dozen yellow
men and not less than two ships hands
with each succeeding chapter How tho
ship ever reaches port with her depleted
crew is not the least Of The books mys-
tcries.
Capt. Briggs alone, foe example, the vii
lain hero of the story. seems to hove made
it sort of substitute for an aftIr dinner
cigar to massacre several Maiays, consume
a pint or two of gin and thrash each mem
Der of his crew thoroughly before resting
easily for the night. The Frequency with
which he finds it necessary to throw a Ma
lay maiden TO :he sharks is aRuther OF
the pleasant features of the book, and one
which should not be missed by any Aneri-
can schooiboy. The book on the whole
seems to have been written for that type
of school children who are so blase that
Treasure Island doesn't stimulate them
sufficiently and who require much moro
bloOdshed to fix their attention.
As to the human possibility Of such a
gentleman existing as Mr.. Alpheus Briggs,
the villain Of the story, the reader will do
well not to inquire loo closely; the main
point is that Mr.. England has succeeded
in writing a sea tale which is calculated to
give the average boy bad dreams for 4
week.

4 hnal section TO Ch1tdTeH and I'0efry-
There are, naturally enough, features
of the book which cause us pain. Mrs.
Wilkinson thinks that few poems of love
by contemporary poets viii bear com
Parison with the lyrics of love made by
the American Indians and collected and
translated in The Path on The Rainbow
She rewrites Dana Burnei's Paper Roses
in modern English, thinking to give it
strength. She does all sorts of things
that we think she ought not to have done,
but it couldn't be otherwise in 4 book of
such tremendous scope. The unfortunate
who undertakes a work of this nature
can please some of the peole all the time
and all the people some of the time, but
he can't please all the people all the time
Ne,o Paths, Iimiied to go copies,
printed on water marked, hand
made paper, and cOnsecrated to Eng
liah verse, prose and pictures (mean-
ing strictly British with the ex-
ception Of the pietures), is edited
by G. w. Beaumont and M. T. Ii. SadIer.
Some of the paths are blind alleys, Others
with an apparent goal Of beauty are
strangely crooked, and some supposedly
new have already been forsaken. For
example, the cubistic and futuristic deyel-
opment in pieturess is old in America as
modern art goes, and was exhausted and
condemned in Paris before its emigration
TO this country. But there is enough Of
real beauty and worth in the volume to
make it deserving Of attention.
Among the poets represented and
sometimes briefly discussed are Walter
De La Mare, Wilfred Wilson Gibson,
John Drinkwater, Richard Abingdon,
John Gould Fletcher, ID. II. Lawrence,
Irene Mcleod, w. IL. Davies and Rob-
crt Nichols. Francis Buckley writes on
Some Tendencies in Contemporary Poetry
with the English accent of infallibility
Mr.. Sadler has an article on The Young
NOreI, in which he gives some advice
cruelty needed in this country:
Remember authors names rather than
titles" he says; "Only by this means can
young novelist5 he helped. Identification
by title deprives him, when he publishes
his next book, of good part of the i'm
petus his first success should insure"
Delightful parodies by Philip Guedalia
on the works of four English noyelists
and John Gould Fietcher'S ideas on Ten
denotes in Present Day English Art are
other features of this eccentric and often
worthy work

W volume of poems brought out
BY the pupils and friends Of Witter
Bynner as a parting tribute on has leaV-
ing the University Of California, brings
homo acuteiy the tragedy Of his having to
- leave. Many of the poems are by pupils
in his class in verse writing, and the
frontispieee is a photograph of the class
during an open air session, with Mr. Byn-
ner iaconspicuous;y seated against one Of
the great oaks Of California and the
pupils grouped about him in a circle.
Something Of VIVA! his leadership and
friendship have meant to those who have
tried to express their appreciation in this
way is embodied in the foreword: sit
was first planned 10 offer to the Univer-
sity OF California a marble chair to b.
placed IN the Greek Theatre and dedicated
to Mr. Bynner. but such distinction for
one who was merely a sojourner in the
who had no opportunity of knowing how
he has endeared himself TO his students
nor how he has made himself a part of
student life in a measure out of all pro
portion to the time he has been In the
university"
Mr.. Gynn2r does not seem TO have
brought Emanuel Morgsm's influence to
bear upon his pupils TO any noticeable
extent. There is but one tribute TO Nor
gan and nothing of the spirit which per
vades the new Bynner book We have
searched in vain for anything approach
ing
"The look IN your eyes
Was as soft as the underside of soap in
a soap dish. :"
"And left before you could love me-"
Mostly the book consists Of well ordered
verse. usually in tribute form. We quote
from a sonnet by Stanton A. Coblentz.
ono Of the pupils:
"The truest teacher Is the truest friend.
And you were friend to ls In thought
and deed,
And in your kindness watched our
every need.
Jealous to aid where there was aid to lend
In your desire at all times to extend
4 ready hand of sympathy, you freed
Into the heart of each of us seed
OF beauty that may grow without an end"
That's not an unpleasant thing to have
on ones conscience. We applaud this
idea Of memorial volumes from students
to master-a sort of lambs eambol There
should have been one to s. de Ia S. IN

for that let d. M at Morristorn come

shiphuilding Corporations
Consolidated hv Hartman,

Consolidation Of the Chester Shin
building Company. Limited, with the
Merchant Shipbuilding Corporation,
thus uniting the Hartman shipbui}d-
ing interests under a single corporate
title has been announced. The merger
IS purely matter of internal orcani-
zation and has been contemplated for
some time. All the capital stock Of
the Chester Shiphuilding Company was
owned by the Merchant Shipbulding
Corporation and the officers and dircc-
tors OF the two companies were iden-
teal.
The Chester Shipbuilding Company.
which thus ceases TO exist as an oDar-
ating entity, was incorporated in 1915
to take over the famous shipyard of
John Roach, at Chester, Penn, the old
est shipyard in the United States Since
its acquisition the yard has become the
nucleus Of the Hartman shiphulding
and shipping interests.
The plant, which viii hereafter be
known as the Chester plant of the Mer-
chant Shipbuilding Corporation. has
been entirely rebuilt and modelnized
since its acquisition by the Hartman
people in 1915. At this yard was de
veloped the plan Of standardization and
wholesale fabrication of steel steamers
which has since become SO famous, and
played so important part in the con-
struction of the United States Emerg-
ency Fleet.

New-York tribune., 1919-08-11

These have been the factors which
have undone much of the improve
ment that took place in stock market
values during the period of the long
continued rise beginning in Feb
ruary. The severest declines in stock
market values since 1916 took place
last week. The unexpected demands
of the railroad brotherhoods, coming
at time when the market was in a
vulnerable position by reason Of the
unprecedented speculation over a
period Of several months, caused a
headon rush of selling The first
wave struck the market on Monday.
Then there was a partial recovery
as a result of the covering Of short
lines, but the selling was resumed
again on Thursday, when another
break carried many stocks to new
low records. Railway issues were
especially hard hit and many of the
standard investment rails like
Atchiscn, Northern Pacific, New
York Central, Union Pacific and
Great Northern preferred sold down
to the lowest levels in more than a
year. The liquidation of the rails
was more impressive than the SELL
ing in the industrial department, for
the railroad issues had not enjoyed
the sustained rise that characterized
the industrial group.
