Edwin Arlington Robinson, an- other interpreter of the new move meat is also a New Englander al- though he doesn't write exclusively of New England. His poetry is gloomy tragic, full of cynicism, probably the result of the poison of prolonged and outworn puritanism, But 1t is never artificial as is so often the case with poems of this type, Just this for suggestion; The brown thin leaves on the
 stones outside
 Skipped with a freezing whisper
 Now and then
 They stopped and stayed there
 Just to let him know
 How dead they were"
 Radically different in both the subject and treatment of his work Is Edgar Lee Masters. MT Masters Is known principally for his Spoon River Anthoogy," perhaps one of the greatest books of American lit- erature, To quote Amy Lowell again Spoon River Is volume which should be read from the first page to the last ,.... Each poem Is il character, and as the characters multiply the whole town Is gradually built up before us"
 Carl Sandburg springing from an immigrant stock represents a very different side of the new movement in poetry His poetry Is extremely realistic but saved from banality by his powerful imagination and per- sonaity. Two short sketches are illustrative of the beauty and music in his poetry.

This Is the effort to combine the
strokes Of Washington and the Naval

years. so as to preserve the good
points of each and produce something
better than has been seen before.
II Is admitted that the Washington
