Masefelds Sea Sketches

If Irwin s. Cobb--had had at his
disposal the material which John Mase-
field has used In producing "a Tar
paulin Muster" group of twenty
four tales of the sea, he would have
produced a very different kind of
book. 1t is doubtful if it would have
been a better one. Mr.. Masefeld has
told his tales with a simplicity and
directness characteristic of the men of
the sea who do most of the talking.
And he lightens the narrative now and
then with a flashing phrase which
makes one sit up and take notice. For
example, he remarks, when sailor
calls on him to talk of mutual ex-
periences, that the names OF old ship
mates were like an incarnation, bring
ing up the past. And again, in de-
scribing a scene of surprising beauty,
he says that it made him believe that
all the poetry he had ever read was
true. "a Memory" which is the de-
scription of sunrise at sea and the
appearance of another ship in the dis
tance, is a prose poem shot through
with appreciation of all that is beau
tiful. In his verse Masefield has proved
himself literary artist Of the first
rank. His prose. does not fall far short
of his verse.

4 "JUST FOLKS" NOVEL
wharfage While You Wait, -
Buckrose's Latest

Another book about "just folks" has
been written by ]. r. Buckrose. 1t
bears the title Marriage While You
Wait" and in it the reader glimpses
the English fireside and the everyday
domesticities of the Briton's life.
The story concerns a young English
woman of the middle class" who falls
hastily in love with an officer who is
perhaps cut above her socially. They
are married as abruptly as they fell
into love and after a period of placid af-
fection there enters a disturbing ele-
ment The husband, invalided by the
war. feels that his, wife is tied to a
helpless man. The wife misinterprets
his feelings and his impulses and their
adventure into happiness comes peril
ously near disaster.
Marriage While You Watt is told
with all the "folksy" charm which one
has come to look for in the Buckrose
novels, but there is less of humor than
in other of this writer's books. Humor
is there, however, and when it appears,
it comes with delightful subtlety.

AN ENEMY'S SOUL AS
SEARCHED BY WAR
An AuStridn'S Var Reactions
Frankly Stated and Psy-
choIogized

What Henri Barbusse has done for
the French in "Under Fire" Hamilton
Gibbs for the English in "Gun Fod :
der, and for the English also Con =
lngsby Dawson in "The Test of
Scarlet" has been done by Rudolf
!eremias Kreutz for the Austrians in
Captain Zillher." It has not vet
been done other than sketchily for the
Americans.
That is, Captain Zillner" is two
things, it is a human document and it
is large scale minutely detailed record
of the effects and impressions produced
ON an individual not SO much by the
war as by war. and the analysis and
Interpretation of how and why that in =
dividual reacts to the pressures, hor-
rors and terrors of war. This book is
especially valuable in that it states and
eyaluates the moods, emotionsJ iudg -
ments and motives of one of the enemy.
We know. or fancy we know, the psy
chology and philosophy of the A''i;
whose conviction of vanquishing autoc
racy through democracy we rest as
sured of, however far statesmen may
err from the ideals Of peoples as peace
follows war. But the complexes of the
Teutons, their self justifications as
uSiue ITOIH tuelF lOrIldl ueIenSPS, tnelt
searchings of conscience as apart from
their public confessional, Are matters OF
curiosity to those who think their
Kultur founded on the sands of mate
rialism, their war aims the sordid lust
for trade and territory. their military
methods cruel, arbitrary and indie
fensible, and their whole engagement in
the war totally wrong.
Captain Zillner" is the sort of book
that could only be written after wars
end, and in Germany or Austria only
in case of defeat. This is because it is
altogether frank. 1t is no respecter OF
individuals or institutions. 1t observes
and it reflects. 1t is fearless and frank
1t shows the morbid or the quizzical
among the Allies how the Teutons, or
some Of them, felt from 1914 to 1918.
Like Barbusse. like Gibbs. Kreutz re-
veals the shattering of ideals, tho bit
ter discomforts of the spirit less to be
borne than those of the body, the blis-
tering Establishments of war. He has
written profoundly moving and pow
erfully impressive book.

EXPLANATION MADE
ON CITY TAX BILLS

Owing to the number of duplicate
tax bills which are being made out in
the office of the City Collector he"e
as the result of failure ON the part of
tan payers to bring their bills, Asst st.
n Collector Joseph HornsbY pX-
plains that the bill upon which ,ha
tax for the first half of the year was
paid should be presented for the final
payment also. The tax bills this year
are so printed that upon the payment
of the first six months bill, the re-
Ceipt of h none is noted and the
bill returned to the property wne
who should present the same bill for
the second payment. This system was
inaugurated 80 save sending out bills
twice annually but many have de-
Stroyed their original bills upon pay
ment of the first six months tax or
are not aware that they should bring
the old bill to the collectors office
for the final payment.

Counihan & shannon, proprietors Of
te Majestic and Strand theatres arc
planning to make several big changes
at the Majestic during the summer
season n already have begun plans
for the alterations which will make
the theatre one of the finest play
houses In New Jersey. j. ID. Harrison,
the architect who designed and built
the Strand theatre has been employ
ed to draw the plans for the aTtera-
.tions n have charge of the improve
ments.
The complete front of the building
will be remodeled, that Is, all the Of
fees will be torn away also the gallery
The present balcony will be removed
and q new one built. AS the gallery
will not be replaced it will be possible
raise the balcony several feet n

ira. The seating plan will be COM
pletely rearranged. When the propos-
ed alterations are completed, HE

fractions are not playing there, will

Mr.. Counihan is very proud of the
Majestic theatre, as it has proved to
be the success he expected CT it when
it was built fifteen years ago. In talk
ing about the theatre today, Mr.. Cou-
nihan said nat when he started to
build it some people laughed at him,
but he knew the possibilities of the
city, n even at that early time
could foresee its growth and knew
that there would be a demand for a
theatre like the Majestic here in the
future.
