1897 was late just like this and there
was scarcely any seeding done until
after the first. of May. If / remember
correctly we had a good crop of small
grain that year, but the price was
low. / have always had a big garden
and I never figure on planting my
garden until the first of May any

worrying more over the late spring
than the farmers. I worked repairing
the outlet bridge that spring for $1.5O
per day and the other men drew $1.00
Per day. I was brennan or straw
hess and received extra pay because
I had previous experience as a bridge
builder. We all worked ten hours q
day too, and were glad to get tile
work.

nant. l cannot remember, in the worst
moments of the war, a time when
there was less activity. The month of
March in old days always assisted
flood Of books to pour into a reluctant
world; no one can be sorry that the
production Of new novels is now half
what it used to be, but that is no rea-
son why we should be able to find
nothing of interest in any single pub
fishers list. There has, Of course, been
The Roll CGll, Of which l spoke in my
last letter. Mr.. Hergesheimer's Three
Black Pennys, which received an ad-
mirable press, is slowly climbing into
popularity. Mr.. Stephen McKenna's
Midas and Son is not, it appears, an
other Sonia-beyond these, in the
world of fiction, nothing. The book:
of the month has been, Of course, Lord
Jellicoe's Naval History, with its
holly discussed Jutiand chapter, but
that belongs only very remotely, in
deed, to literature. In poetry Mr..
John Freeman Memory of Child
hood and Other Poetry is a book
worthy of serious attention. I, my
self, would place Mr.. Freeman easily
in the first half dozen Of the younger
poets, my other five being Ralph
Hodgson, Walter de la. Mare, W. H.
Davies, Robert Nichols and T. G.
Squire. Mr.. Freeman has gravity,
austerity and love Of nature that is
undoubtedly Wordsworthian in its
origin. He is quiet poet and loves
cool water, moonlight, gently waving
trees, gray skies, lonely hills. There is
no fun In him, no humour, very little
satire; grayely he searches for beauty
with devotion that is religious in its

Mr.. Cumberland S powers of obserya-
ton seem to have extended so far as
waisteoat buttons, provincial accents,
coughs and sneezes boots and shoes,
and then stopped He describes, for
instance, an, interview that he once
had with Arnold Bennett that is moth
ing but thorough exposition Of his
own blindness to essentials. No, this
is a heap-jack kind Of book and Of
no Importance except that it raises
the question as to how far Journal
ist should abuse in public men who
have entrusted him with their friend
ship. Uncensored Celebrities is quite
another affair Mr. Raymond's book Is
indeed one Of the most brilliant Of its
kind, recalling the virtues Of Hazlitt's
Spirit of the Age more effectively
than anything that we have had for .
long time. He is remarkable for his
fairness Ia quality for which perhaps
Hazlitt was not especially note
worthy and it would be very difficult
to discover what are his political
party feelings. OF all his sketches the
best perhaps is Mr.. Asquith. Excel
lent also are Sir Eric Geddes, Lord
Northclife and Lord Miner. This
book will have a very real value for
the historian in the future, and it is
sharper and Of truer acility than
Mr.. Gardeners sketches, nor has it
the bias and prejudice of the por-
traits drawn by Mr. Belize and his
friends.
It's incisive style and admirable
humour deserve that it should be re-
Inembered as something more than .

traits. Uncensored Celebrities is Lit.

Books That London Finds Interesting ~

TT cannot be denied that the last
L fortnight in London has been a
gloomy one; weather has had some
thing to do with it, day after day
forcing upon us that muddy driving
rain, part mist, part fog, part torrent,
that seems London's especial pre-
rogative. Then beyond the weather
there has been all the uncertainty
bred of contemplated strikes, the
humorous toying on the part Of indul-
gent officials with food restrictions, q
pot Of marmalade released here, q
lump Of coal withdrawn there beyond
that the influenza, beyond the inhu-
enza the Paris Conference, that seems
to advance with lightning speed one
moment and sprawl like tortoise the
next, and beyond the conference Ger
maryland Russia, with starvation and
Bolshevism threatening the whole
world security. No, it has not been a
very happy fortnight, and I cannot
say that the arts have exactly as
sisted its attempts at gaycty. The
drama, however, has given lis John
Drilkwater's abraham Lincoln, most
beautifully acted at the Lyric, Ham
mcr$ smith, the theatre in which Arnold
Bennett is interested. This chronicle
of csrtain incidents in Lincoln's life
admirably avoids pretence, is dramatic
and moving and, in the end, htera-
ture. Mr.. Drinkwater has seemed to
mej in the past, a genuine poet ham
pered by a certain frigidity and lack
of originality. Here, however, there
is life and freedom and excellent
pathos; he is to be congratulated most
warmly.
abraham Lincoln has been the only
sig IN Of life that the stage has given us
for the last ever so long, although now
we are promised new plays by Arnold
Bennett, Somerset Vaughan and Ed
ward KnOblock, and Miss Doris Keane
is to give us in a few weeks a revival
of Romeo and Juliet. Literature has

essence, utterly serious In its ABSORB
ton. But never was there a more
English poet-he shares that distinc-
ton, in our day, with Ralph Hodgson
and w. H. Davies. He is also a
thinker and, as must all true poets,
has his own very definite philosophy.
Whether his audience grows or not he
will be, think, for many generations
to come poet to whom certain people
will turn for happiness and quiet. His
art depends on no tricks, no manner
isms, no self-publicity. He is a poet
for whom to be most truly grateful In
these turbulent days.
Perhaps because there has been so
little Of interest to be found in the
new books some attention has been
given to two books that may be de-
seribed as personal views of public
men. There was time (leng enough
ago-it seems now when. we were
very shy Of personalities about living
people. One can remember the excite
ment that Arnold Bennett caused by
his eauserie in the New Age, and there
was q column In some other literary
weekly that used to alarm the serious.
Well, the war has changed all that.
Here are two books, one, Set DoWn IN
Malice, by Gerald Cumberland, the
other, Uncensored Celebrities, by T.
Raymond, that go boldly for what
they believe to be the truth and damn
the consequences At least l hope Mr..
Cumberland thinks that he is telling
the truth. His book is rather an I'M

Atlanta, Ca. JAN. THE offer of

and men Of the A. E. F. from mill
tary duty in order that their services
might be utilized by the Y NJ c. A.
resulted in the recruiting of large
number of soldiers for "Y" work, and
naturally resulted in decrease in the

Up until the time General Pershing's
offer was made, the Y. NJ. G. A. had
done extensive recruiting for the pur-
pose of sending large number of
workers overseas. But when it was
learned that workers could be secured
in France-men well fitted for the
work because of their familiarity with
conditions-the services of many men
in the United States ere not needed

overseas were disappointed over the
outcome, the Y. NJ. c. A. could not
