ms, by Alan Seeger

poems of Alan Seeger are very beautiful, of the very first order. They are beautiful to admit of translation in verse. This is absolutely my conviction eral earnest attempts which in spite of all my experience were nevertheless ures. In my opinion the English text should be published with no other n than one as literal as possible, word for word, to serve as a guide to the eader.". Jean Richepin, of the French Academy.

War cuts off the supply of India paper

Just as we were about to reprint a further supply of the Encyclopaedia Britannica on superb paper, word came that no more flax (from which India paper is made) could be obt because of the war.

The superior grade of flax used for India paper (the kind used in making linen) is grown an Germany, Belgium and Great Britain. War has crippled the flax industry in the first two coun indefinitely and Great Britain has placed an embargo on her supply. We are advised that this cannot be bought in sizable quantities for years to come. Hence the comparatively few the Britannica now on hand are the last printed on India paper that can be offered.

They will be sold to first applicants for only $1 down and $3 a month for the "Handy Vol Issue (for cheapest binding).
