...group of noted Englishmen, headed by Mr. John Galsworthy and Mr. Maurice Hatton will assist the American Academy of Arts and Letters in the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of James Russell Lowell '38.

Ground for encouragement does exist, nevertheless, not on the tongue of the seer, but on Flanders mud, Allied union and American progress. As Englishmen regain France's lost territory, they drive from our minds the trenches in Italy. In the attempt to create an allied general staff we see an endeavor for more efficient co-operation. While labor tends to eliminate its striking habits, and the new draftees, their awkwardness, we perceive the United States...
