TINE on put of poetry in one of our
l. large universities during the last
ten years, if one should include all kinds
from barroom ballads to class day poems,
is a staggering thought for any consci-
cntious reader However, the editors of
The Yale Book of Student Verse 1910
1919 have selected poems from only
twenty-five out of the thousands of poets
who must inevitably have passed in and
out of the gates of Eli since 1910.
The volume contains an introduction
by Prof. Charlton M. Lewis, who admits
that he likes the adherence to metrical
forms and the profound, if youthful, sin
cerity of his students We agree with
him for the most part, though 200 pages
of sincerity makes, perhaps, heavy draft
on our appreciation of that important
quality.
Many of the poems in the book reveal
the direct influence of our older poets
and Robert Frost and Rupert Brooke
among other moderns have obviously con-
tributed inspirations in theme and treat
ment. But the thing these young poets
do best is the narrative poem. Three
Days Ride and One Of the Others by
Stephen Vincent Benet, who is the best
known poet of the group; Kit MarloTe
by Newbold Noyes, and The Corpse-Fire
by Kenneth Rand are particularly well
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-08-17

done. Occasionally one finds a poem in
the volume that is obviously the result OF
a powerful personal emotion, untinged by
much reading. Howard Bucks, Robert
Hall, Killed September IS, is an effective
and unrefected picture of the writer's
state of feeling, as is also Limited Service
Only by Kenneth Rand, who died while
serving in the quartermaster corps as a
private. We quote the poem in full:
Il am not one of those the gods decision
Has chosen for that highest gift of all
The sacrifice, the splendor and the vi
sion
To fight, and nobly fall:
"And yet know-what though it be but
dreamingl
Should the day hang on one last des-
perate hope,
I-I-could lead one reckless column
streaming
Down some shell tortured slope.
ITO face the shadow hell of Deaths own
valley
With eyes unclouded and uncovered
head
Know, for an instant, one ecstatie rally
And then be clearly dead"
We are still too close to the war to ad-
nit of an adequate anthology of the
poetry which it has inspired. Critics
who are sufficiently sensitive to respond
to the beauty of what has been written
under this greatest stress of all are emo
tionagy misled into selecting work of
whose permanent value their colder judg-
ment might not be convinced.
Prof. George Herbert Clarke of the
University of Tennessee has compiled a
second Treasury Of War Poetry, poems
written since 1917, which will no doubt
meet with as much favor as his first.
Practically all of the British and Amer
lean poets who have written of the war
are represented and in many cases brief
but interesting biographical notes have
been appended. As is the case with most
anthologies, the inelusions are obviously
out of proportion, but many of them are

known and desired books AT fixed low
prices that may not be raised by retail
ers." He asked lad be knew and the old
porter of his hotel about the educational
system and the porter described the school
method much the same as the lad did,
thus:
dyes, they go there, sing the MGrsealdise
twice through, have dinner, and come
home"
Prof. POkrovsky, head of the eduea-
tional system, said of this comment:
1T is perfectly true. We have not
enough transport to feed the armies, let
alone bringing food and warmth for our
selves. And if, under these conditions, we
forced children to go through all their
lessons we SHOULD have corpses to teach,
not children. But by making them come
for their meals we do two things, keep
tim alive and keep them in the habit of
coming, so that when the warm weather
comes we can do better
1t is interesting to note, on the side of
the cultural aspect of Russia under the
Soviet Government, the list of operas and
plays that were performed at eleven
opera houses and theatres In Moscow on
the nights of February Is and IA last. OF
operas familiar to US there were Samson
and DeHlah by Saint Saens and the ballet
CoppeliG; and in the theatres perform
anees were given of plays based on The
Cricket on the Hearth, 4 Christmas Carol
and Little Dorrik by Dickens, Shake
speare's Much ado About Nothing, and
lie Nisdnthrope and Georges Dandin by
Mohere.
This writer has a profound admiration
for Lenine. Ransome thinks "he is the first
great leader who utterly discounts the
value of his own personality and that
''he is quite without personal ambition.
More than that, he believes, as a Marxist.
in the movement of the masses, whie
with or without him, would still moe
If the Russian revolution fails,
according to him, it fails only temporarily,
and because of forces beyond any mans
control. . He is, for himself at
any rate, the exponent, not the cause, of
the events that will be forever linked with
his name"
Limited as this book is, in comparison
with the wide scope suggested by its title,
it should be read by every one who wants
to know what is going on in Russia, under
the Soviet Government.

notable and others are justified by the
freshness of their impulse and the fervor
of their sentiment What a refreshingly
human glimpse of the hereafter is Sports
men in Paradise by Capt. Cameron Will
son, killed in action in 1918:
"They left the fury of the fight,
And they were very tired.
The gates of Heaven were opened quite.
Unguarded and unwired.
There was no sound of any gun,
The land was still and green;
Wide hills lay silent in the sun,
Blue valleys slept between.

n view of the fact that Arthur Ran
L some entered Russia on January 80
of the present year and left Moscow
forty-fve days later, spending practically
all of the interval in the present capital
Of the Soviet Government, the title Of his
book, Russia in 1919, is rather preten-
tious. During that time he kept kind
of journal, which is what he presents to
the reader anxious to earn all that he
can of the Russia of to .ly.
The outstanding features of this troubled
land, as this most sympathetic writer sets
them down, is that it is badly in need Of
food, but most of all of transportation.
There was no doubt among the people he
met that the revolution was an accom-
plished success, with the present Govern
ment firmly seated in the saddle and max
ing progress.
Mr.. Ransome interviewed the heads of all
the important departments, as We would
call them, and without exception every
one of them agreed Russia needed trans
portation more than any other single
thing. Moreover, most of them agreed in
desiring the end of the war-that is, the
internal war-to the end that Russia
might more quickly gain her right place
in the world.
As an illustration of constructive work
on the part of the Soviet Government we
quote this story told by the president of
the Committee of State Constructions:
"The biggest piece of civil engineering
done in Russia hr many years was the
direct result of our fear lest you people
the British or the Germans should take
our Baltic fleet Save the dreadnoughts
we could not, but I decided to save what
we could. The widening and deepening
of the canal system so as to shift boats
from the Baltic to the Volga had been
considered in the time of the Gar. 1t
was considered and dismissed as impracti-
cable -. Well, we said that as the
thing could be planned it could be done,
and the canals are deepened and widened,
and we took through them, under their
own power, seven big destroyers, SIX small
destroyers and four submarine boats,
which, arriving Unexpectedly before
Kazan, played great part in our victory
there"
In his chapter on Education Mr.. Ran
some says that in Moscow alone educa-
tional institutions, not including schools,
have increased from 1863 to 1857. The
Government is issuing reprints of well

moment and then he gets the foot from
higher up. \ quiet story about a drunken
mayor making highly damaging statements
starts Henry Calverly on a year of ups
and downs that ends on page 400 and
something in a way you'll have to enjoy
for yourself.
Mr. Merwin believes that life is largely
melodramatic Right. He aims TO tell
an absorbing story. He does. He aims
to utter, naturally and in place, through
the mouths of his characters, views on
newspapers, modern advertising, Ameri-
can small city politics, the writing of
biography and fairish lot of other sub
jeets. And he gets away with it absO-
lutely, or at least 99.44 per cent. of the
time This is, in fact, his greatest achieve
ment in The Passionate Pilgrim because, as
any experienced story teller will tell you,
it is the most difficult essay possible IN
fiction. Fiction and such things don't
ordinarily mix at alr But Mr.. Merwin
has been more than ordinarily cunning.
He has dissolved his powder in his potion.
You'll hardly taste it. And if you do
after all, you may rather lie the taste.
One other aim there was, apparently.
That was publishers Words ito demon
strate- the psychology of genius" This
has been attempted often, most lately and
most successfully by W. Somerset
Vaughan in The Moon and Sirpence.
Mr. Merwin's Henry Calverly is not in
the least like Mr. Maugham's artist
Strickland. We remain rather uncon-
WINGED, at the end, of Calverly's surpass-
ing gifts as a writer. We are certain
that he is a downright hon-st. unworldly,
highly sensitized young fellow. He has
tse artist streak in him, as the world
generally expects it to be manifested and
rs, we suspect, It isn't manifested half SO
often as the world thinks. Calverly has
pent enthusiasm, ''vision"-all that. We
are willing to believe he could write splen-
didly on rare occasions. But a sort of
superb. Henry7 He doesn't get by us
1t is only fair to say that this is imma-
terial to enjoyment of the story. There
is a convention in a matter like this.
All readers take the authors word that
SO and So uas genius. Readers expect
to do that. So let's stop chewing
upon it and say that we hope thereIl be
another book about Henry Calverly, and
just as rafting a yarn as this.
THE PASSIONATE PILGRIM. BY SAM

WE don't know but that a man feels
w rather idiotic going into a shop
and asking for book Wit the title The
Passionate Pilgrim. 1t may well be so;
If the title really conveyed the quality
of Samuel Merwin's latest novel no OBJ
lection could be raised; but, to our mind,
1t doesn't. The Passionate Pilgrim sounds
hke-oh, well, The BeIored Vdgabond of
w. J. Locke, say. And Mr. Merwin is
writing about Henry Calyrriy, the hero
Of his TemperameHtal Henry ar1 Henry
Is Twenty-Five titles that Cited like ad
Unstable non-skids.
It's a cOrking story-The Passionate Pa-
grim, we mean. Not great novel, no;
makes no pretensions toward being. But
a real story, told up to the hilt by skilled
storyteller.
You have to hand it TO Mr. Merwin
for sheer ingenuity. For instance, how
shall he outline Henry CaIverly's earlier
history for the benefit of those who did
not read the two previous novels in which
this young man figured? II ought to be
done in a perfectly natural way. It is,
most plausibly. A girl recognizes Henry
in an elevator, speaks about him to the
man at the next desk to her in a news
paper office. This man refreshes his
recollection by turning over the contents
of an envelope marked "Calverly, Henry"
in the newspapers "morgue"-or index
of news clippings. And so, by easy stages
as they say, you are indicted into the
hero's past.
1t was melodramatic past and the
continuation of Calverly's career, as re-
lated in The Passionate Pilgrim, is equally
exciting, but nearly always perfectly
plausible. You are, in the main, CON
WINGED that these things did happen to
Henry and there are some breathless mo-
ments while they are happening.
Here is a man not yet thirty who,
five years before, wrote look of short
stories that made him world famous Then
he was meshed in a murder trial and re-
lated scandals. Like all innocent by
ISLANDERS he got hurt and partly as the
result of being a genius with a tempera-
ment he was sent TO Jail. He emerged
crushed, disappeared, bodied up, dis.
appeared again. Now We meet him, under
an assumed name, trying to get footing
in newspaper work. And he does, for
