A CHANCE TO I.IVK llv Vm rtrrVt.y New York Micnilllnn Companj SI 10 Sanity About Poetry Sir Henry N'ewbolt's "A New Study of English Poetry" contains some of the sanest comments on poetry that have been mnde in modern times. He writes of the nature of poetrj. of poetry and rhythm, of poetry and peisonnlitv nnd poetry and politics. He discusses Chaucer and Shakespeare and Milton, the British ballads, nnd futurism and form in poetry nnd k'ndred matters What he hns to say of futurism nnd form is paiticularlv interesting in these days of the "new" poetry, hailed bv Amy Lowell and others ns that great thing which the world has lacked for centuries. He says that the evil with which we have to contend is the old belief that form is an adornment nnd that the poet is n decorator, who is in clanger of finding himself out of em ployment because he has used up nil the old patterns and cannot invent new oues. How false this is he indicates hy reminding us thnt Maselield's "The Widow in the Bye Street," Is written in the rhyme-royal of Chaucer and that Mnscfield finds it adequate for say ing things Chaucer never thought Hut, sajs Sir Henry, the futurists have ex horted us to greater freedom in ex pression. and that is always to the good. They have also invited us to write poetry without form, that is to create without the breath of life, he goes on. This, too, he remarks, is a service, for by urging us toward the impossible they have helped to save us from the fear of it.

He is remembered especially for several novels of real interest, one of them of politics.

But be cause this story hns definite form and balanced proportions it is not larking in thrills nnd adventures. The young hero goes to France with the A. R.

Taft, Oeorge W. Wickersham, A. Lawrence Lowell and Henry W. Taft. These articles were printed in a number of newspapers throughout the country without signa tures. In the book the name of the author of each article is given In the index. The text of the league covenant, as adopted at the Peace Conference on April 28, Is given by way of introduc tion. It is followed bv a series of three articles by President Lowell on "The Objects to Be Obtained." on the "Na ture of the League," and on the "Or gans of the League." Henry W. Taft discusses its constitutionality and its relation to sovereignty. Then each ar ticle of the covenant Is taken up seria tim nnd discussed in detail, by Presi dent Lowell and William H. Taft. The objections to them nro met and the arguments in defense of them are set forth with clearness nnd precision. Mr. Wickersham writes about arbi tration, the colonial mandates, and labor and discusses the historical back ground of the whole program. Henry W. Taft deals with the Monroe Doc trine and President Lowell writes a concluding chapter. The volume will be invaluable to those who wish to have in convenient form an armory of arguments with which to refute the opponents of the plan as well as to those who are still seeking light on the subject. The whole discussion is singularly calm nnd reasonable. It is in appeal to the in telligence and common sense of the reader. THE COVENANTER.

The Day of Glory Dotothy Cnntield, whose "Home Fires of France" was one of the finest pieces of literature produced about the war by an American, has Issued n sup plementary volume, "The Day of Glory," which carries on the tale be gun in the earlier book. The volume tnkes its title from the closing story. which tells of?what happened in France when the guns boomed announcing the signing of the armistice. And this story ends with the incident of a fair- haired lad in the uniform of a poilu making his way through the crowds to the Strasbourg statue. He had a little bouquet of red roscs and forget-me- nots. He did not see the people. His eyes were on the statue. As be reached it he laid the flowers at the base and his lips moved all unconscious of the spectators. Some one spoke to him. He cxplniued that he had escaped from Strasbourg to fight for France and that his family was still in the city. An old woman with tears on her cheeks called him her son, nnd others, young men and young women, called him their brother. And the book ends. This woman did some good things be fore she went to France, but her war experience has created her anew and has given to her a power of expression which must be the envy of all the lesser members of her craft. THE DAY OF GLORY Bv Dorothy Can- neld. New xork: Kerry Holt it io si. Alfred the Great Beatrice A. Lees, sometime tutor of Somerville College, Oxford, has added a comprehensive biography of Alfred the Great to the "Heroes of the Nations" series. The author has specialized in early English history nnd is especially remembered for her King Alfred to Edward I" and "The Central Period of the Middle Ages." She subtitles her biography of Alfred "The Truth Tell er: The Maker of England," and these characteristic phrases give an idea of the program of her treatment of the romantic, practical and philosophical figure of her book.
