M . the red icavalier G. E. Leeker iei ' EFFECT OF Unconscious and Conscious Art Displayed' in Poetry by Negroes TIIHKR Veccnt books of verse by Negroes afford an excellent opportu nity for these Interested In such mat ters te exnmlne Inte the literary de velopment of the race and Incidentally Inte the changing temper of Its literary spokesmen. The Negro of slavery and the years immediately following the emancipa tion is represented In "Negro Felk Ithymes" (Mncmillan), a collection of folk verse made by Prof. Themas AV. Talley, of Flsk ' University. These rhymes have no known author. They grew up among the Negroes and were developed by repetition and adjustment until they reached the form In which they are new repeated In the Seuth. They nrp dnnce songs and love songs, song of nnltnnl and nature lore, charms and Incnntntiens, and se en. It is re markable that there are se few in the whole collection that show any realiza tion of the enslavement of the Negro or any resentment against that condi tion. Almest without exception the rhymes Indicate an acceptance of the world and n cheerful adaptation te It. Even where there is resentment against slavery it Is net argued, but exhibited Indirectly. Take, for example, "Prom "Prem Kcs of Freedom," In which the singer tells hew lib master premised te set him free and broke the premise. It centinues: Ole Messer lakwlse premise me, Wen he died, he'd set me free, Hut ole Measer go an' 'make his Will Per te leave me a-plewln' ole Beck still. Ye, my ole Messer premise me : Hut "his papers" dldn' leave me free, A cleze of pizen helped 'lm along, May de Dell preach 'Is funer'l song One may assume that the slave had something te de jith the poison, but there Is no moralizing or justifying of cscntinent against Injustice. The fact Is stated with the simplicity of a primi tive people. A similar simplicity rules in the songs of nature, a simplicity that sometimes becomes beautiful. THERE is no sophisticated and trained poet who could produce mere nearly perfect thing than some that have been handed down by word of mouth among the untutored Negroes. Only a person with n sensitive ear and si feeling for rhythm eeuld have pro duced the "Beb White Seng": Beb white ! Beb white '. Ii je' peas all ripe? Ne ! net! quite! Bab white! Beb white! Wen will dey he ripe.' Tomer ! row ! night ! Heb unite! Beb white! Dees you sing at night? Ne ! net ! quite! Beb white! Beh white! Wen is de time right? At can ! dle-! light! Of course, many of the rhymes In he volume nie little mere than non nen ense jingles. They are the-product of i comparatively happy and irresponsible ihase of the life of the, Negro in Amer ica. There Is no conscious literary art, 10 introspection nnd no philosophizing. These things had te wait until n later period. Within the past twenty year the Keireci have become conscious liter ary artists. THEY have written such a consid erable volume of poetry ns te justify the production of nn anthology. Under the title of "The Boek of American Negro Poetry" (Harcourt, Brnce & rn .inmes Welilen Jehnsen has set feith selections from the work of mere j cover that hatred will net redress n than thirty Negroes who have published single wrong nor elevate him a single verse since the late Paul Laurence Dun- inch.

" JHJVJBJMUNl WBimjvnBUJmSBr FREEDOM ON THE LITERARY ART OF NEGROES nml the recent past. It is evident that a literary consciousness Is awakcrflng in the race. And after reading Mr. Jehnsen's anthology one must admit (het the Negro hns n gift for poetry, even if the simpler and mere spon taneous folk rhymes In Tref. Tallcy's volume had net demonstrated It. There Is no great poetry in the vol ume; that Is hardly te be expected. But (here Is a considerable body of geed poetry, distinguished by imagination and Insight and written with a fine sense of the requirements of verse. Heme of the poets represented are edit cated men, college professors or preach ers or journalist. Others are mere humble workers, one 'of the best having been a kitchen worker In a restaurant. Many of thete modern Xegre poets express their resentment against the race that ones enstaved their ances tors and even new lynches their fellows. MR ATA e' JOHNSON, who has put his hit own neem. "Bretners, into anthology is much mere tolerant than some of the ethers, for ne eniy manes the whites who have burned a Negro lit the stake for an atrocious crime won der what the, victim meant when he said, "Brethers in spirit, brothers In deed are we." Claude McKay, of whom I shall spenk a little Inter, Is voluble with hate. Jeseph H. Cetter, Jr., merely usks: Why de men sneer when I arise And stand In their councils, And leek them eye te eye, And speak their tongue? Is it because I am black? The late James D. Correthers was In a very different mood when he wrote of the obstacles in the way of recog nition for a Negro vcrsemaker: Thus, my true Brether, dream-led, 1 Ferfend the anathema, following the span, I held my head as proudly high As any man. But the Xtgre poet has net yet arisen icne sees any overruling Providence in the forced migration of his ancestors from Airica. THE bitterest et the whole company is Claude McKay, whose name ap pears en the title page of "Harlem Shadows" (Harcourt. Brace & Ce.) Mr. McKay was born In Jamaica of slave ancestors. He came te this coun try In 1012 and has lived here since, and has received the medal of the In stitute of Arts and Sciences in recog nition of his verse. When he came te the United States he intended te study agriculture nnd go back te Jamaica and teach it te his people. He had net been here mere than two years before he gave up the study and abandoned the plan te return te his native Island. He earned a living nt whatever work he could get. Fer a time he was a waiter In the dining car en the railroad be tween this city and New Yerk. One of his poems Is an expression of disgust for the diners nnd the ether waiters alike. Anether begins I will net toy with It nor bend an Inch, Deep In the secret chambers of my heart I nurse my life-long hate, and without flinch I bear It nobly as I live my part. In poem nfter poem he varies this expression. of hatred, until it seems ns If It were "n morbid obsession. Yet he has written n tenderly beautiful piece about his mother and some love lyrics' that sing. It Is net strange that the Negro should feel resentment at the wrongs, his race ha suffered at the hands of the whites. But os he grows In spirit ual nnd Intellectual stature he will dls the hate of hate and the (.corn of scorn?! GEORGE W. DOUGLAS.

"The Boek of Susan" gave evidence that it was written by a man who was seeking .te de something mere than write merely nn entertaining story. The book was nn Informed and tolerant commentary en life. Lee Wilsen Dedd. lis author, has justified this estimate of him by his second novel, "Lllln Chcnowerth" (b. P. Dutten & Ce.). The greater part of the action takes plnce in n wemnn s col lege In New England nnd'ln a theatre in Paris, but It is n novel of neither the theatre nor the woman's college. The real action takes plnce In the mind of the prlnclpnl characters. Mr. Dedd has used the college and theatre setting merely because It has given him an op portunity te get his characters Inte such juxtaposition and into such conflict as would enable him te deal with his spir itual problem. If the realism of his setting may be unsatisfactory the realism of his char acters is se genuine that the Interest in their fate grows as the books progresses until the suspense becomes almost pain ful. The tragic denouement comes with n shock, but en reflection the render will conclude that there was nn ether way out. Lllln, the heroine, is the daughter of n brilliant dramatist by n woman whom he never married. She Inherits her father's brilliance, but i-he hns n gen uineness nnd sincerity which he lacked. Mr. Dedd brings her into contact with a young college professor with n yearn ing for fnme, n man who had been self centcrcd nnd who had never hnd his i-eul awakened. The book Is the story of the effect of Lilia upon thl profes prefes profes rer, the effect of genuineness nnd hatred of Bhnm nnd love et beauty for Its own takn upon a man who hnd net yet begun te think of beauty save In terms of cash and fnme. It Is n moving story that will stir the emotions of every sensitive reader nnd leave him with n sense of that over ever n helming pity for man In his struggles with fate, which every great book writ ten with Insight stirs in the mind of the thoughtful. It is romance with n soul. NEW BOOKS General AFOOT IN ENGLAND By V. H. Hudien. New Yerk.

PUTNAM'S SONS s O M E critics have attacked Gerald O'Don O'Den O'Don evan's magnificent novel VOCATIONS because they liave read into a fine work of art (with as breathlessly thrilling a story as any novel recently published) an attack en the Cath olic Church, accusing Mr. O'Donevan of being a propagandist and of "insinuating a definite thesis that priests are either brainless or treach erous, and nuns are weak, feeble, and sheeplike creatures." , UU.UKUH, MUUKK, an enthusiastic admirer of VOCATIONS, writes te Mr. O'Donevan : "The charge brought against you is that the novel is propaganda. It is no such thine, no mere than Esther Waters is propaganda, although accused of being such in the-beginning." The New Yerk Herald says: "It is net an attack upon the church, but it is a powerful demonstration of the inher- ent wrongness of asceticism. . . . The tragedy of the fully normal woman who is forced te become a nun and seeks a way out of her prison, ... has nowhere as a whole been se comprehensively treated as here. There is nothing salacious in the book, nothing I rubbed in en purpose te be goaded ever. The sins gross and petty; ,the vileness and slime are all integrally a part of the plot, net ever-accentuated and always kept in their place." The New Yerk Times says: "VOCATIONS is very 1 distinctly an unusual novel. Unusual in its plot, as well as in its dramatic quality, its admirable portrayal of character and thsj , geed taste shown in the handling of an exceptionally ugly situ ation. ... A genuinely interesting novel, well constructed, realistic, and very well written." The Natien says: "Johanna Curtin is one of these characters who satisfy the mind wholly, and permanently enrich one's knowledge of human nature. Kitty and Winny Curtin, although their portraits are necessarily fainter and mere delicatsj in tone, cling almost as tenaciously te the mind. VOCATIONS is the work of an extraordinarily mature art." This is the first book that I have ever published that I have chosen thus te recommend publicly in this per sonal manner. I believe it te be one of the best novels that have been printed en either side of the Atlantic in a number of years.
