Old Fighting Days (Knopf), by E. r.
for fstic chronology, records a par
ticular bit of ring tactics which never
fails to find it's way into fctionized
fighting. Ned Winter was much larg
erSthan Harry Holmc, our hero. and by
far more powerful. Naturally, Ned
Winter was defeated in the fight at
Moulsey Hurst Harry had the tradi-
sional maneuver of all frail ring
heroes of fiction at his command.
Believing with rage, the angry
giant rushed forward, his huge arms
like fails, and before that devastating
charge Harry stepped quietly aside
and struck twice like flash, and with
such good aim and effect that Ned
Winter fell heavily forward, sprawling
prone on the ground with a crash like
that of falling tree"
The thing has been done again and
again in hundreds Of books and it
never fails to work, and yet it has been
our misfortune to fail to see this par
ticular strategy occur in the ring. All
the big men we have seen have allowed
the little men to do the rushing.
Novelists must be little men for the
most part, so strong is their prejudice
against solid flesh. Even George
Bernard Shaw could not avoid the
fictional point of view in writing
about the fight between Carpenter
and Dempsey, and declared that the
Frenchman would be handicapped by
the possession of so much as a sim
gle pound over and above his one
hundred and seventy two. The fallacy
lies in the assumption that big men
are Of necessity slower than little
men. Most of the descriptive writer's
were swayed by this error in describ-
ing the Jersey City match, and gave
the impression that Dempseys win
ming equipment consisted solely of
weight and of power. Now, as mat
ter of fact, Dempsey is one of the
fastest heavyweghts the ring has
known, and in some phases of fighting
has as much speed at his command as
the French flash himself.
Old Fighting Days is conventional
yarn throughout. Some of the bouts
are lively, but the attendant plot of
missing papers and mysterious heirs
is dull stuff.

In his Modern American Poetry (Har-
court-Brace) Louis Untermeyer traces
the period of renascence, the date of
which he sets at 1913, and writes:
People who never before had read
verse. turned to it and found they could
not only read but relish it. They dis
covered that for the enjoyment of
poetry 1T was not necessary to have
at their elbows a dictionary of rare
words and classical references; thew
no longer were required to be ac-
quainted with Latin legendry and the
minor love affairs of the major Greek
dlvinities. Life was their glossary. not
literature. The new product spoke to
them in their own language" Much of
this boast is made good in the co)lec-
ton which Untermeyer includes in his
anthology. He writes truly of Carl
Sandburg: Smoke-belching chimneys
are here, quarries and great bouIders
of iron-ribbed rock; here are titanic
visions: the dreams of men and ma
chinery."
So far so good, but we shall remain
little skeptical of the close relation
ship between poetry and visions and
dreams of everyday mankind until there

the Hoe" some adequate verse presen-

The Bombing Tests

ne results OF the DOmDlnS Jesus,
which ended with the sinking of the
Ostfriesland, may now be summa-
rized and appraised.
The Iowa experiment showed that
small naval air force of twenty
seven plaaes and two army 'sblimps"
could locate an enemy ship within q
sea area of 10000 square miles off
the coast in two hours, and that hits
could be made on moving target
seemingly as easily as on a station
airy object.
Next the sinking of submarine,
destroyer and a cruiser with an
armor belt of 2 4 inch steel showed
that the unarmored elements of a
fleet-its protective screen and it's
supply ships-are at the mercy of
the enemy air forces if the latter
command the air.
This means, in turn, that battle
ship force bereft of it's protecting
screen of light cruisers and destroy
ers is at the mercy of submarines,
while the loss of it's supply train
renders it impotent for war over
seas. In other words, fleet which
does not command the air above
itself is lost if it is subjected to at
tack by an enemy air force. And
under these conditions the use of
submarines by the enemy contributes
to the helplessness of a battleship
force.
Moreover, it is shown by the sink
ing OF all these ships, including the
heavily armored Ostfriesland, that
the airplane with bombs alone can
attack surface ships in their two
most unprotected points-the ships
upper deck and it's underwater hull
below the armor belt. The hits on
deck will destroy her fire control and
upper works and kill or threaten a
large part of her personnel. If the
bomb strikes the water reasonably
close and explodes after it has sunk
ten or fifteen feet it may open the
seams Of the thin plates below the
armor belt. This latter attack sank
the Ostfriesland. She was actually
sunk by bombs that did not hit; it
was virtually a mine or torpedo eff
feet that sent her to the bottom.
Thus the bomb combines mortar fire
with torpedo fire. 1t is a most
deadly weapon. The truth was never
fully realized until the Ostfriesland
was sent to the bottom in twenty
minutes by six 2,O0O-pound bombs,
not one Of which actually hit the
ship. From naval viewpoint this
is an appalling fact.
1t is true that in these tests the
target could not fight back. But it
is the merest sophistry to urge this
argument against the airplane,
which can use it's weapons at
height or at distance which would
not subject the plane to dangerous
or effective fire. A barrage of mines
may be laid around a fleet. But
torpedoes may be fired from point
such that they cannot pass through
a large feet without hitting some
ship in the formation.
We have suffered much already
from naval conservatism which
has muddled our naval policy.
There is but one permissible conclu-
sion-that navy that commands
the sea in the future must be su-
preme on three planes, not on one.
Sea power hereafter will be depend
ent upon air power and submarine
power. A surface navy alone is
useless. A three-plane navy is alb
solutely necessary. The money
available for navy must be wisely
distributed on the three planes-the
surface, above the surface and below
the surface of the sea.

"My chief occupation between the
ages of ten and twenty was reading.
My father had small, we'll selected

public library. Since the age of twenty

up an old favorite, and read it maybe
half through-and once in a while by

literary taste or knowledge be if, at
ten, had been reading the Five Little

ten, but do remember distinctly that
at thirteen l was reading Les Miser-

me, but it was so fascinating that

Count of Monte Cristo-and, unless
l am mistaken, I read the bulk of
Dlckens's novels around that age. Also
Tom Brown at Rugby, John Halifax,
Gentleman, Little Women and all the
Alcott books. I did not read Alice in
Wonderland, Huckleberry Finn and a
lot of the other books until / was

they are children's books for grown
people-children are too serious to en-

Il never read Grimm's Fairy Tales nor
the Five Little Peppers, except under
compulsion-and it is my opinion that
any child who willingly reads them

To get him cool glass of beer,

And said: HAS Johnny been here 2"
"He was my man.
But he done me wrong"
The bartender said to frankie:
II amt goin' to tell you no lie,
Johnny was here just an hour ago,
With woman called Nellie Blye."
He was your man,
But he done you wrong"
frankie went back to the corner,
Sewed in her yellow kimono
Was blue barreled "A gun.
To shoot her man,
Who done her wrong.
frankie went down to the hotpoint
Looked in the windows so high;
There she saw Johnny in the bright
light
A lovin' up Nellie Blye.
He was her man,
But he done her wrong.
Johnny ran down the back staircase,
Shouting: Honey, for Gawd's sake
don't shoot"
But frankie cut loose with her ~ pun
And the gun went root-a-toot- toot.
She shot her man
Who done her wrong.
Turn me over gently,
Turn me over slow,
Turn me over on my right side,
So the bullet won't hurt me so.'

But I done you wrong"

Bring out your rubber-tired hacks:

And never bring him back"
"He was my man,
But he done me wrong"
The Sheriff took poor frankie
Just at the break Of day,
Locked her up in dungeon
And took the keys away.
She shot her man,
Who done her wrong.
Frankie said to the jury,
"What'll the verdict be-?
Jury said to frankie,
"Why, it's murder in the first de-
gree"
"You shot your man,
Though he done you wrong"
frankie said to the warden,
what are they goin' to do?"
The warden said to frankie,
"It's the electric chair for YOU"
"You shot your man,
Who done you wrong"
They put poor frankie in the rectric
chair
And turned the current on:
Ten thousand volts shot through her
frame
And to hell they both have gone.
She and her man,
Who done her wrong.
