fFotesAOr of FnEIsh Bttcrature
IIhilS small volume contains, besides
the longer poem which gives II title
ana takes up considerably more than
h"it or Its pages, sequence of some
forty sonnets, Ideal Passion" already
published, some poems Of the great
war; largely likewise in sonnet form,
and few additional sonncts and lyrics
on other themes. 1t marks the con.
tinuance of the career of Mr.. Wood
perry as poet of high attainment and
assured reputation. for in this book is
sustained his power of pictures, his
beautiful elevation Of thought and his
delicate and exquisite diction.
TNliE poems of the great war, to take
l. them first, are full of patriotism, Of
high resolve and of touching compassion
and piety for the fallen. They are the
work Of an American whose heart beats
true and whose eyes are on the great
essentials. And they are remarkably
free from the sacva indisnatio which

ton Of this seismic fault and slip back
of mankind into the barbarism out of
which we were emerging. And yet these
poems on the war are disappointing. /
know not just why. Read. as l read
them the other night, beside the fierce,
bitter actualities of Wilford Owens,
strummcd out though these are with bare
knuCkles on naked board, Mr. Wood
berry's hutelike notes of idealist scnti-
ment seem thin and, dare I say it, al
most irrelevant. Mr.. Woodberry has a
pure and holy passion for Italy which
has echoed down the ages from Byron,
the BrOwnings, Swihburne and the rest.
| will not say that these poems seem
litcrary-they are too sincere, too veri-
table, for that-howevcr, they reverber-
ate with an old song. / will rather
salute all enthusiasm for Italy. despite
Fiume and the madness of the poet
who has recently been attitudinizing
there, for I. too, love Italy in spite OF
all her chauvinism, sordidness and
irrationality.
ITO SAY that Mr.. Woodberry Is a
L master sonneteer Is to utter the mere
truth. The sequence. Ideal Passion"
is. in this respect. almost n piece of
virtuosity, for the poet is not only
punCtilous in the niCeties of the sonnet
form. he is strikingly original at times
in it, management and successful in
maintaining throughout technique
fitting to sustain his elevated thought.
particularly admire his choice of the
difficult alternative scheme on two
rhymes for the sestet, and his manage
ment of it is often exceedingly skillful
There is large phrasing, too, in these
sOnnets which rids one completely Of the
feeling-only too common as to poetry
in this form-that it is n species of
mosaic or dove.tail work in which
patience and ingenuity are the chief
essentials. Mr.. Woodberry's subject
IS here. as often elsewhere, that high

guiding ideal, unmatchable and unat-
tainablc. yet ever begetting effort. de-

twelve days in which to analyze and
prepare it's answer. The company
agreed to furnish copies of any further
exhibits it intended to introduce, three
days before the hearing is held.
While attorneys for the cities en-
tered formal objection to a postpone
ment of the hearing, some of them
agreed that such action was not I'M
reasonable. The telephone company's
attorneys made it very plain that the
delay was not in any manner due to
any omission on their part, but that
the final hearing had to be pushed off
for a few days because new matter
had been injected into the case.
Say Figures We're Inaccurate.
The comparisons made by George
Read, engineer for the commission,
between Bell and Independent figures,
were designated by c. A. differs, gen.
eral manager for the Southwestern
Bell Telephone company, as grossly
unfair and Inaccurate.
''While 1 have only had very few
hours to make a hasty examination OF
some forty or fifty pages of figures.
said differs, IT noticed very quickly
that the commissions engineer had
compared a lot of small independent
exchanges with Bell exchanges in the
large cities of more than twice the
size on the average. 1t is an estab-
lished fact, many times proven and
many times admitted and decided that
it costs less per telephone to give
service in a small town than it does
in a larger town. The commission s
engineer has compared Independent
exchanges in towns averaging less
than $500 people with Bell exchanges
in towns averaging more than 1900
people. There are many reasons why
the costs per telephone are higher in
larger towns than in smaller. The
cost of living and consequently the
wages are higher. The investment per
telephone is higher. Consequently the
maintenance and depreciation per tel
phone is higher. The average calling
rate is higher in the big towns than in
the little towns. So it is manifestly
unfair and incorrect to make such
comparisons as are made in a number
of cases in the mass of new matter
which the commissions engineer pre-
scented last night"
