...similar idea has been treated, he can easily discover by reading Rupert Brooke's "Heaven." "When the Dead Awaken," by Mr. Willcox, is commonplace. Mr. Leffingwell attempts a feat of compression in a "A Song of Resurrection," and leaves his reader in a somewhat confused state of mind. Mr. Sanger collects his impressions of "Iron Ore Mines," and expresses his views about "America's Mission" in something that appears to be akin to free verse. Both his impressions and his views are worth while; but they seem rather scattering in their present form. Mr. Clark has difficulty, apparently, in deciding...
...less varied. Mr. Clark's "In the Blue Sea Cavern," with its irregular metre and sparing use of rhyme, amply justifies its form by the fascination of its imagery. Mr. Putnam, in his sonnet, is at pains to ... "Make impassioned sense believe That memory improves my dull today." Mr. Sanger's "Aeroplanes" has a good swing. The "Grotesque" by Mr. Norris contains a good idea, marred at times by a somewhat perfunctory technique. The "Phantasy," by Mr. Willcox, though abounding in color and imagination, is breathless in its movement; it reminds one of the "patter" of comic opera. Mr. Rogers...

There is no suggestion of his having had anything to express that insisted on being uttered--though this criticism applies to a good deal of the verse in the present number. Mr. Sanger's "Panama Canal," though less imaginative than some of the others, is clear in conception, vigorous in expression; and Mr. Cutler is again charmingly witty in his "Poet's Lament." His last stanza reminds us that we ought to be grateful that the issue contains no "free" verse...
There is melody but little novelty in Mr. Nelson's "The Haven," and a good model at least posed for Mr. Parson's "Scott." There is a reality about Mr. Kirby's "Sonnet" which is lacking in Mr. Sanger's "To --?". The "Winter Symphony" of Mr. Norris is another good work, and Mr. Benshimol is deadly serious with his "Cry and Echo." But perhaps the finest piece of verse in the number, and a poem of genuine merit, is Mr. Rogers' "Victory." The new board has very praiseworthy intentions, and it is on the way toward success...
...Sanger has stopped working on the railroad; he too, is inspired by the war, and unlike the military critics he seems to see an end of it. His constructions are a little involved and his metre is not always easy, but his conception is sustained, his language dignified, and his point of view refreshingly wholesome...
