A timely discussion of the problem of

most essential factor In American progress,
has como from the pen of William Brown,
Moloney, who, In his "Heritage of Tyre"
(Xha Macmlllan Company, New York), In
dicates the possibilities In store for this
country if the proper steps are taken to
ward maritime efficiency. The volume le
bref but contains a condensed 'history of
tho once prosperous shipping business of
the.'o United BtnteB, the cauKo of lis de
struction and a program for Its rehabili
tation. The large subject Is well condensed
tt fit In the short space allotted to so Im
portant a, subject and repays a careful
reading.
To those Interested In the subject, ex
Congressman Alexander's "History and Pro
1 ceduro of tho Houso of Representatives"
(Houghton Mimin Company, Boston), Is as
fascinating as a novel. Mr. Alexander has
done more than write a bare chronicle of
'events. Ho has made the story of the de
velopment of the popular branch of Con
gress human py tilling It with tho part
that the great leaders have taken in the
development of Its methods of procedure.
The book is a mine of anecdotes and the In
dex of 19 pages is virtually a list of Ihe
names of tho distinguished Americans who
have sat In the body. Yet Mr. Alexander
has gathered the Information which the
serious, student of the development of
American Institutions desires to And In 'such

then) now. Professor Burgess Kenyon Col
lege lectures, now published under the title
of "The Administration of President
Hayes" (Charles-Scrlbner's Sons, New York),
axe an admirable exposition of the achieve
' ments of Mr. Hayes. The book explains
with what patriotic courage the President
treated the Southern States as a part of the
Union entitled to manage their affairs with
the game ifreedom as that enjoyed by the
Northern States. It shows how In a time
when, financial heresy was rampant he stood
firm tor an honest currency, and It makes a
proper estimate of the Importance of the, de
termined flght made to prevent Congress
irpm lorcing me executive to approve meas
ures to which he was opposed by attaching
them to appropriation bills. Hayes vetoed
all these bills with "riders" and succeeded
In maintaining the constitutional power of
the Executive. The book Is an invaluable
contribution to the political history of our
times.
Just In time for the vacation season comes
"The Latchstrlnc;" 'Houghton Mifflin ro-n-pany,
Boston), by Walter Emerson, which
is subtitled "Maine Woods and Waters."
In recent years the Maine woods, lakes and
Islands have become a great solstitial pleas
ure ground for Americans. This book marks
the first attempt to give a comprehensive
deecrintlon of the pipu'ir out'pg ground of
New England and. In fact, of some of the
other geographical sections of the Unlte'd
States. The chapters Include Interesting
accounts of the game nsh preserves and the
piscatorial joys of Maine, shotgun and rifle
shooting and exploration of forest and field.
The book Is liberally and attractively Illus
trated. The purpose of "The Influence, of Joy"
(Little, Brown & Co., Boston), by George
Van Jn n.flrhnpn tl T-. C TV In.
t,r structor of psychology at Sargent Normal
w School, Is to explain to the Intelligent lay
iiuuim uw exact inuuence or joy on mlna
and body and to emphasize the Importance
of this emotion to every human being.
Doctor Dearborn gives first a short but
fundamental exposition of the psycho
physical organism, showing that emotion In
ito scientific sense Is actually comprsed of
changes both in the nervous system whose
function is correlation and In the nervous
system whose function Is control. Joy, con
trary to fear. Involves In general a lessen
ing of Inhibition and weariness, and more
vigorous activity In the alimentary proc--eases,
the circulatory and nervous systems
and tho organs of reproduction. It Is, how
ever, not merely a stimulant, but a con
tinuous source of health to the body. The
remainder of the book Is devoted to a dis
cussion of the practical necessity of Joy as
an aid to usefulness, happiness and richness
of personality.
The Becond part Js accessible to the aver
age person ; but the first and more techni
cal part requires what might be called a
reading knowledge of psychology. To those
possessed of this asset, the book Is of es
pecial interest and value In setting forth the
results of scientific Investigations In a con
centrated and convincing way.

The Page Company's June list of new
publications Includes a work of travel and
description "Texas, the Marvelous," the
State of the six ftngs. whose border line
Is the "scene of conflict" In our present
war with Mexico. The volume will be con
tributed to tho "See America First" scries
by Nevln O. Winter, author of "Mexico
and Her People of Today," etc. Because of
his intimate knowledge of Mexico and Mexi
cans, Mr. Winter Is able to trace tho dis
semblances of character In the two races
that settled In Texas, the cause that led
to their Inability to coalosce and the reason
for the supremacy of the Americans.
An unusually varied assortment of books
nre published this week by Doubleday,
Page & Co. These books are "Wild Animal
Wayv" Krr.ost Thompson Seton's nrst book
since "Wild Animals at Home" was pub
llshed more than 10 years ago; "Tennis for
Women," by Molla BJursledt. the new
woman champion, which alms to be both a
manual of practical advice and the story of
the author's spectacular career in many
countries: the "Worlc and Play Books," a
serios of 11 volumes sold separately,
planned and written to meet the widespread
demand for vocational training In home and
school; "Scouting With Kit Carson." by
Everett T. Tomllnson. the second of Mr.
Tomllnson's stories for American boys of
the great scouts who opened up the West,
and "The Mothers," by Ceorge Hlrschfeld,
volume 18 In the "Drama League Series of
Plays," concerning which Prof. Ludwlg
Lewlsohn says in the Introduction of his
translation, "The Mothers' is one of the
memorable dramas of our time."
Some- time ago It was anonunced that the
publication of the second volume of Maxim
Gorky's autobiography would be Indefinitely
postponed, owing to the fact that the Eng
lish translation and printed sheets of the
book were Interned In Berlin for the dura
tion of the war. But the Century Com
pany, which published the first volume,
"My Childhood," has Just received word
that the second volume Is now running
serially In a Russian magazine. Hopes are
entertained that a fresh translation may
be undertaken Immediately, and that the
book may appear sooner than had been sup
posed possible, -It s to be called "In the
World '
Another popular novel soon to appear n
dramatic form Is "The Jack-Knlfe Man,"
Ellis Parker Butler's humorous story of a
little cripple and the two shiftless old men
who befriended htm. It is, to be staged this
fall by the H. B. Harris Estate, under the
Utie "Peter Lane."
There are so many maga'slnes of poetry
Issued today, some of them only today nnd
some of them only jesterday, that the
reader of poetry Itself gets a bit mixed.
Some of the poetry they print Is good and
soma Is not, but most of It Is superior to
the criticism and "theories about poetry
which Js nlso to be found there. Among
the pbets who are still apart from moo
menM there nre two, distinguished by n
singular similarity of attitude, who nro
particularly noteworthy. One, Edwin Ar
lington Itoblnson, has been known for many
years to the appreciative as the greatest
of living American poots. Naturally
schools nre not for him. The other, Don
aid Evans, Is a poet of less Importance,
so far, and he Is apart from schools becauso
there simply Isn't one for him.
Sir, I'vnns hts published several other
boohs, but his "Two Deaths In the Bronx"
(Philadelphia, Nicholas Brown) exhibits his
qualities with a strong, ferocity and pas
slon. To get over the grcnt objection to
tho book at the start, the writer submits
his deslro that Mr. Evans should once nnd
for nil write n perfectly dreadful shilling
shocker of sex. That done, ho could ro
turn to the subject In a humnn wny, with
out his unnatural sensitiveness, his obtrud
ing moral sense, his Immoral Idea that sex
can bo shocking. Prudery Is not a be
coming virtue In a poet. Tho most delicate
nnd the most brutal and the most glorious
nnd the most vulgar of nil humnn relation
ships may be subject to any treatment, but
poetically It yields Itself only to the treat
ment which recognizes all Its subtleties and
all Its uondcrs, Itn miseries nnd Its pow
ers, without exploitation and without fear.
Tho book Is a portrait gallery of profli
gates, etched with a blttr ncld. "Irony and
pity," cries Anatolo France. Mr. Evans Is
a more modern philosopher nnd there nre
fow Instances or pity. Perhaps that Is
why "The Mother of Clod," which lo ful
filled of human emotion. Is one of the best
of tho poems, and the title poem, In which
the Irony Is double-edged nnd the story.
piteousiy tola, is nnotner. l lie reader should
not be misled. There nro such titles as
".Massed Screams" In the book nnd poems
tu Justify the titles. But the whole Is singu
larly clenr. unhappily mordant nnd sharp.
The observation of mankind, In Its less
noble moments, tho analysis nnd the pic
turing nre equally arresting.
But where Mr. Evans tries to absorb tho
world Into himself Mr Itoblnson tries to
set himself apart, and his book. "Tho Man
Against the Sky" (New York, Mncmlllan), Is
an extraordinary example, of what can be
called descriptive poetry. Mr. Boblnson re
pudiates nothing human, but he suffers no
Illusion. Because his passion Is more re
strained It Is tho more affecting, nnd the
misery of the title poem. Its questioning
anil Its end with "the dark, tldeless Hood
of Nothingness" Is appallingly benutlful.
Here nre Irony nnd love and pity, nnd a
beauty of workmanship which Is very
proclou3. "The Town Down the River,"
"Captain Craig" nnd "Children of tho
Night" nre Mr Robinson's other books of
verse. They nre mentioned because the
render who knows them will understand
the dlfllculty of writing about tholr author
or even about them. Of Mr. Robinson may
be said what was said of John Mascfleld's
recent sonnets: that he attempts to do uhat
nil poets have done and what all poets
must do, and Is great because he does It
nell. His stuff Is humanity. His metier is
beauty. Whatever he may feel, his world
is still the most mystic, the most puzzling
and the mos.t beautiful of any created In
our time In poetry.
Brief nro the words spoken of this great
poet because he Is not to be captured In
words. For the Imaglsts, who are repre
sented In an anthology (Some Imagist Poets.
1916; Boston: Houghton Mimln Company)
the brief wprd may nlso ba spoken, but not
for the same reason. Those who can, read
Those who cannot, may turn to the Intro
duction and find odt why. M. Ilemy de
Gourmont Is quoted there, .with evident ap
probation, ns saying. "The sole excuse whlh
a man can have for writing Is to wilte
down himself, to unveil for others tho sort
of v.orld which mirrors Itself In his Indi
vidual glass " Most of tho Imaglsts nre
wives which cannot be granted the right
to publish. They aren't Interesting. Some
Of their mlrrora are warped. But tho fal
lacy Is that a poet can have any other rea
son for writing than the desire (and the
ability) to express with beauty and fascina
tion the world. He must do It through him
self, to be sure. But he must give himself
up, literally devote himself to tho world,
before he can express It.
