It was all done m u few word'. quietly and thotighfully spoken, but the Terr restraint of the speaker left an outline picture of a shattered idol that rach one could fill in for himself with the darkest colors on hli palette. The subject before flic forum was the adjustment of t' t Mlkn frontiers with special refcrei to Flume nnd the eastern shores of the Adriatic sea. The speaker, Dr. Douglas Johnson, ot Columbia University, n major during the war, nnd the chief of the boundary seography division of the Ameriran Peace Commission, traced the entire story of the claims nnd counterclaims and how they were adjusted and then, with the audience Invited to ask ques tions, there came the inevitable one : "What is your opinion of l),An nunzlo?" Dr. Johnson waited until the laugh had subsided nnd then, in n tone that carried the deepest hlgnlfiecnee to his bearers, said : "I do not know whether I want to express my opinion of D'Annunzio be fore an audience of ladles nnd gentle men. I have too high an oplulou of Italian patriotism and the Italian peo ple to believe that IVAnnunzIo is a proper representative of cither." That was all. but the dead silence for a moment and thrn the outburst of ap plause showed that it had made Its im pression upon the audience. Wilson's Thorough Knowledgo The usual antl-Wilsonian question came up. as it has at every other meet ing. This time it was; ''What wna the extent of President Wilson's own per lonal knowledge of the Adriatic prob lem?" It was greeted with prolonged laugh ter, but lr. .loluiMm waited patiently until quiet was restored nud then came forward on the stage like n man who wants no misunderstanding of what he is about to say. "President Wilson kept in constint touch with his experts." ho renlled. "He had our memoranda, and I can nssure you thev were overwhelmingly voluminous. Yet he studied every paper most carefully. It is only fair to say that he had n most astonishing com mand of the details nnd intricacies of the whole problem." Here he was interrupted by nn out burst of spontaneous applause, and then continued : "You can see from what I have bald tonicht thnt the ramifications of the nrnbipm worn exredlndv eomnlicated. I ton i the President's stmh a series of relief models of nil the territory in- , volved. They were made on a large j scale so that thev showed every moun- tain nen valley, every town nnd river, i fin he had an actual mininture of each tection. The ethnographic, strategic. economic and geographic frontiers were all shown, us was the distribution of populations. , 'The President held conferences in his study with these models before him. I "Whenocr it seemed to any of us , experts that we should see him per- I Fonally we asked a conference with him. He was a very busy man. We had only our own specialty. The Pres- ident had all of them and many more In which we were not imolvcd.

' Dr. Johnson declined to speak In de- ' tail of the treaty of Itapallo on the ground that he had seen no official copy j of it and was therefoii- not conversant with its provisions. Hut he gave the I impression of being much disappointed in the main points that have been oab'p'l to this couutrj. especially with the ced- I ing to Itnly of addit'onal territory to ' the north which contains Fiume's only, outlet bj railroad toward Central Europe.

Tho Problem of the Adriatic With the aid of maps he showed the naval problem that confronts Italy in the Adriatic sea. "Strategic arguments," he said, "werre advanced in support of Italian claims to extensile territory In Dal matia and on the east coast islands, in habited almost wholly by Jugo-Slnvs. "The mountainous, raggerl cistern const of the Adriatic, with its numer ous harbors, is in strong contrast witii the low, simple western coast, where harbors are few in number and in ferior In quality.

GABRILOWITSCH CONDUCTS Makes His First Appearance This Season as Quest Leader of Orchestra Tim rnoartAM "Oberon" Overture Tveber Symphony. C minor No Ilrahmi oerturo, Mendelssohn , .. . Strauss Midsummer Night a bream Tone loom, "Don Jtisn".. Osslp flabrllowitsch, conductor of the Detroit Orchestrn was the guest con ductor of our own organization nt cs tcrday afternoon's concert. Mr. Gab rilowitsch will also conduct this eve ning and will lead tho orchestrn during Its tour of the coming week. The program selected by the visiting conductor was n highly diversified one and one well calculated to te.?t the abilities, technical and InVrprctntlvc of any conductor, lending his own orch estra, let nlonc n leader to whose style of conducting the organization was com paratively strange. It must be said at the outset that Mr. Gabrilowltsch, in this intensely difficult program, made a far more profound impression than he did In the relatively simple program which he led last season on which ap peared the Ueethoven first symphony nnd the Freischutz overture. The chief difference hub that yester day he aolded any lnbored attempt nt unusual orchestral effects and ongln alit, with the result that his readings were much more characteristic and in dlUdual than those lost season. Ills into pretation of the program was rad ically different in many respects from that of Mr. Stokowskl, who has re peatcdl given all the works which ap peared on it and his manner of the gen eral treatment of the orchestrn Is also highly different, but it cannot be justly said that it was any the less effective. Mr. Gabrilowltsch, as Is to be ex pected in n great solo performer, gives considerablv more latitude to the solo voices of the orchestra, especially in purely melodic pnssages and pays rather less attention to tnnssed tonal effects at both ends of the dynamic register, something in which Mr. Stokowskl specializes. The concert was thoroughly enjoy able, both in the excellence of the per formance and in the new reading of familiar works by the visiting conductor. Mr. Gnbrllowitsch's interpretation of the symphony was most interesting nnd convincing, although, there might be some question ns to the rapidity of the tempo at the very beginning where the sinister efTect of the reiterated beat of the tympani was lost, giving rather the effect of a march tempo. The slow .nnnan.anf trns Kiinerh and showed a most extraordinary bit of oboe placing by that splendid artist, Marcel Uabu- bv tenu. ti, allegros of the Mendelssohn overture was taken at n very rapid hpeed, which, if it lent brilliancy to the K,.ncral effect, surely did not add to the clarity of the very difficult string I)nnges.

MASEFIELD RIGHT ROYAL WON A RACE He Is a Poet Who Knoics How to Make Beauty Significant and Hoxv to Clothe the Significant With Beauty nv FRMV R. SCIIELLINQ rrofrmior of EnclUh Literature In F' IS said that cverj body that is everybody who cares about things of the mind carries nbout with htm some where, like n bunch of keys, certain definitions which he uses, ns occasion may offer, to unlock the nvenucs of thought or discourse. Sometimes these keys nro remarkably hard and definite, good each for one little door nnd for nothing else; sometimes they are fewer In number, adjustable tn various locks, assuming at last, in the truly cultivated nnd liberalized, the qualities of a master key which can open oil locks. To vary the figure, he who docs not hold many of his definitions even of very familiar things tn solution under advisement, ready to be adapted to growth tn the world and tn himself, will soon be with out n key to unlock nnythlng. There wns a time wtthin the memory of those still alive when there were grave doubts in the minds of many as to whether Browning was writing poetry or some thing for which a new nnmc must be found, or whether the Wagnerian "cacophony," ns some called It, was really music and not something else. And yet how far have we passed be yond all this In diversified poetry, dc mclodlzcd music and dcnlcotincd cigars, to carry our denials no further. BUT it is not nlong this lino that the poetry of Mr. Mascflcld gives us pause; for no Keats was ever more enthralled to beauty than is Mr. Mase- field, and the music of verse, with all the old devices, often astonishingly and daringly developed, is to him as the apple of his eye. But there la something more. It Is possible to love beauty selectively and, trusting the eye, choose only that which is pleasing In theme nnd agreeable to dwell on. Mr. Mascflcld is a far more significant artist than this in his facing of the realities. In his ac ceptance of n subject in its difficulties to discover the deeper, the more signifi cant beauty which it ts the function of the true artist to reveal. The mau who has written of the brutal realities of the forecastlo and the prize fight bb Mr. Maselleld has written in "Dauber" and in "The Everlasting Mercy"; of sen suality and murder Itself, as tn "The Widow of the Bve Street" Is no effeminate devotee of mere beauty. But be It noticed that Mr. Mascficld's method in all his realism is that of nn artist keenly nllve not only to the obvious outward truth of line nnd con tour, but to thnt inner truth of the spirit which is worth all the small arts of taste and prettiness rolled into one. IltECALL a pleasantly disputatious friend who carried nbout with him a nortentous bunch of the keys of defini tion and jingled them incessantly. He wns always getting down to brass tacks nnd he usually stayed there. One day the argument recurred to "Well now what, after all, is poetry?" nnd a fam ous old poem on winter became the sub ject of illustration. In that poem, which contains that "coughing," It will be re membered, which "drowned the par son's saw." the refrain runs: "While ernniitr .Tnnn doth keel the not." nn Idea. homely, familiar and. as the older critics would have said, "low. .ny inenci was willing to accept tho word "keel" n nrchnlc end. bclnir out of use. there fore strange enough to be poetic. D objected to "greasy" as descriptive munch, lint unnoetlcal. and agreed with the old critics thnt "pot" was simply "low." Another line of the famous old poem renlly incensed him. It runs: "And Marian's nose looks red and raw." Was Marian remarkable in this? No. Was it not vividly descriptive? Yes. But then the subject was so un poetlcal. Winter, unpoctlcal!

Dr. Schoff. of course, Is well known ns an expert tn the methods nnd statistics of modern trade, but it may surprise some of his friends to know that he has made profound investiga tions on such nn nlmost prehistoric sublect as commerce as described in the Scriptures. He subtitles his book 'A Svmbol of the Tate of Conquerors, as Prophesied bv Isaiah. Ezeltiel and John nnd fulfilled nt Nineveh. Bnbvlon nnd Rome " The doom pronounced on the shin "Tvre" by Ezeklcl. and genera y supposed by scho'ars to refer plitsleally to Phoenician commerce and polity. reaUv had a deper moaning, as Dr. Schoff demonstrates. "The prophecy ns expressed to be understood bv the op-pressed-thc peopV of Israel carried nto captivity by NeburhBrWar. to ccthcr with the loot of the temple j n,noie harmless by the con- mcror Is an assertion of civil right nnd the fate that awaits the conni.eror .... nUi.ii nnrl nee."

WD HAVK yet to learn with any degree of conviction that beauty Is not art unless that beauty be signifi cant; that mere significance is not art unless thnt significance be raised by a recognition ot its inherent beauty and harmony Into the region of art, A mul tiplication table is significant, very sig nificant: nnd so, nlast is an account book. Mow, Mr. Maselleld ts one of those rare pocta who establishes tn the best of his work nn equilibrium, so to speak, between tho significance of reality and that ideality which Is the essence of beauty. There arc passages In "Dauber," for example, the wretched anemic lad before the mast, enamored of color, in the supreme mo ment, a hero thero are passages ns Imaginative as "The Lay of the Ancient Mariner" nnd ns realistic ns Jack Lon don ; and the Impression is that of poetry, not because, ns in the former, we trespass Into the supernatural, but because of realization of the realities in terms of the beautiful. "piOIIT ROYAL" is tho story of a Tv steeplechase. This is nothing very new. The Greek poet Pindar estab lished an Immortal reputation on the commemoration of athletic events. But "night Itoynl" is n narrative of a sin gularly compelling nature. I did not want to leave t until tho winning post was passed. The go, the whirl, the pic turcsqucness of it all is delightful and the effect, with nil its detail of the small actualities, could not have been achieved save by tho lifting power of poetry. I cannot think of it in free verse, for ex ample. For where would be the rhythm that beats with the clatter of boots in which, be it remarked, there is a cer tain regularity tn life If ever a race ts won? The picture of the concourse and crowd, of the stables, the stablemen, the costcrmongcra, the "bookies," even the Negro minstrels nnd sellers of oranges, is vividly successful and dar ing. And here let me br?nk n lance In a small matter with some of the critics who objected to Mr. Mascficld's au dacious rhymes, Rome of them mere as sonance, like "disposes knows) his," or "offense Testaments." What mat ters It tf n veritably nrtlstlc effect ia produced and not destroyed by these risque feats of daring? There Is noth ing impermissible in art, which, like rebellion, is to be judged alone by its success. Of course, tf you do not suc ceed you richly deserve hanging and usually get it. No one who haB heard Mr. Mascflcld tell one of his delightful talcs of extravagant humor nnd in genuity could raise the question ns to whether these feats on the border of the grotesque arc conscious or not. "T71NSLAVED and" Other Poems," - ' contains many fine things. I like "The Lemmings, who come west ward over the snow" seeking food and "some calm place Where one could taste God's quiet and be found With the little beauty of a human face." Hut that land Is "drowned." Yet still we press Westward in search, to death, to noth ingness. But tha masterpiece of these two vol umes is the tremendous ballad of the supernatural, "The Hounds of Hell," tuneful, grotesque, powerful, with the vigor of reality with nil Its diablerie of the supernatural. It is not to be spoiled by blabbing ns to what it is about; for, like all art that Is really worth while. It can be conveyed In nowise than in Its own nnd defies description, epitome or nny other short cut to nn inferior understanding. ItlOHT ROYAL, riy John York: The Mncmlllnn Co. Maaefleld.

Headquarter For Engineering and Technical Books Philadelphia Book Company 17 South 9th Street JANUARY S, 1921 FOR WINTER READING DK. WILFRED II. SCHOFF Who has written n boon on the commcrco of the Bible A NEW ,(ZANE GREY' "The Mysterious Rider" Is an Honestly Thrilling Story of the Plains "Tho Mysterious Rider" is a red- blooded book, but It Is clean blood. It ts n book of thrills but they are hon est thrills. No render need feel ashamed of having them. The red blood Is In the veins of the story and not in the face of the reader. This ts about as good n novel ns Zane Gray, expert nt fiction of the plains, has given his public for some time. He knows his locale nnd his people. No matter how hazardous their adventures may be in the posture of the plot, the characters seem believable. And the incidents have a good semblance of plausibility, even though one knows one is reading a romance. There are little identifying nnd humanizing touches nbout Grey's folk, men nnd women which make them likable nnd memor able, even after the book has been read through. And he docs know how to construct a plot. Ills stories are well wrought with legitimate dependence on suspense nnd surprise. There ts working up to climaxes which set the pulse to beat ing faster. Thero is often, ob tn this volume, a mystery which grips and holds interest. The plot of "The Mysterious Rider" centers about n stranger who came un expectedly to Bellounds Ranch. He was not young nnd ho was not aggres sive. But he was such n gun fighter when aroused that ho became known by the epithet of "Hell-Bent" Wade. It takes a long story of his experiences in dealing with cattle rustlers nnd other bad men to clear up the mystery the tragedy In the life of this gentle but decisive personality. But the end is worth waiting for in view of tne imp piness of the wild -flower girl Columbine renlly his daughter and her realized romance with his friend nnd young "pnrdner," Wils Moore.
