Be that as it may, 1t is the re-
viewers opinion that firmness in the
other direction by our Government
would have held back the high handed
action of Japan and increased not only
our prestige but also helped to swell
the rising tide of anti-militarism in
Japan. The cry that "Corea is like
dagger pointed at the heart of Japan"
"a phrase of pure humbug-was
loudly heard in the Mikado's empire
Then with the promptness of a hun
cry tiger or eagle the Japanese con-
quered and annexed Corea. Thus the
mllitarists saddled upon the Japanese
people the burden of maintaining 50,-
900 soldiers and as many more spies.
In a sense, the Japanese eagle now
bleeds with an arrow feathered from
it's own wing. The results have been
bitter disappointment as to the eX-
pected large emigration thither and
the very meagre economic returns
from the exploitation of a conquered
land with the avowed purpose of de-
stroying that ancient civilization
which was once like a mother to the
outlying archipelago.

begins With poems by Alexander Push
kin, the father of modern Russian
poetry. and ends with such ultra mod

resented by some poems in the
manner of his early style rather than
in his daring attempts at originality
in form, thought and phraseology.
Lermontov. whose influence over
Russian poetry is second only to Push
kin's, is represented by soma OF his
lighter lyrics. Nekrassov. whose epic
who Can BE Happy and Free In
Russia" is one of the most touching
and perfect poems on human misery,
is represented by the famous salt
Song" from his epic, and two other of
his shorter lyrics. Nekrassov was one
OF the few Of the Russian poets who
never let his poetry be marred by his
passion for social justice. His ro-
mantle life adds a further touch of
interest to his poems.
In sharp contrast TO such poet as
Nekrassov the translators follow him
with two such delicate, unworldly con-
servatives as Count AleXy Tolstoi and
Appollon Maikov. Comit AleXy, who
is a member of that most literary OF
