Lemnos In April, 1913, Sir Ian | Hamilton paid high tribute to the charm and brilliance of the young! soldier-poet. Ee related how in! April, 1915, inspecting the Royal Naval Division at Port Said, he in-4 vited Rupert Brooke to come upon his personal staff. He replied Just | as Sir Philip Sidney would have re-| plied. He would have loved to come, | he said, bu! he loved better the | thought of going through with' the first landing and the first and worst | fighting, shoulder to shoulder with | his comrades. He wes right, There! was nothing more to be sald." | The comparison of Rupert Brooke | with Sir Philip Sidney Is no super-| ficial one. The "nameless gift of | attraction' which all feit who came | into contact with the twentieth cen- tury poet, and unnumbered thous | sands are aware of, who have learnt | to know and love him only through | Itis writings, has seldom been pos- | sessed In like measure by anyone, | since the days of Sidney, whom Brit- | ishers hold in such high and reverent | regard. The man of letters has never | failed to love the Elizabethan poet | for the grace and beauty of his verse, which marked his contributions to | literature, and the idealist has loved | him not less, for his modesty and | courage, his chivalry, and his stead- | fastness of purpose. { There can be little doubt that it] will be the same with the memory of | Rupert Brooke. "The homage," | writes Mr. John Drinkwater, "that | has instinctively been paid for 300 | years to Philip Sidney by people who | know not a line of his poetry and scarcely an event of his life, is whole- some and springs from the better | parts of human nature, And so it is! with Rupert Brooke. His truest] his poetry, but the many spiTits that | will quicken at his name, knowing | but vaguely of a brief and fortunate | life, a brilliant personality, a poetic | genius which they will not be cur=| ious to explore, a supreme sacrifice, | will quicken worthily and to their good," Perhaps there was #othing more attractive, more irresistible about Rupert Brooke than his immense capacity for happiness. "He seemed always ready for laughter," a school friend said of him, and of his own schooldays, he declared, "I had been bappier at Rugby than 1 can find words to say. I seemed to see al- most every hour golden, and radiant, and always increasing in beauty as I grew more conscious." He was first and foremost a.poet, both in desire and in achievement, and the work that he accomplished for this branch of English literature, small in quan- tity though it was, is vibrant with the genius of the poet, growing year by year more certain of fiself, more positive in its power and richness of experience and of expression. "There are only three things in the world," his friend and biographer; Mr. Marsh, reports him as having said with much vehemence in answer to some ""Carbonaro who had been talk- ing like a Philistine," "one is to read poetry, another is to writ poetry, and the best of all is to live poetry." All three of these did Rupert Brooke accomplish and the last not less per- fectly than the other two. Writing of him in 1913, Mr. Marsh | says, "Henceforward the only thing that he cared for--or rather felt he ought to care for--in a mdn, was the possession of goodness; its ab- sence the one thing that he hated, sometimes with flerceness." A year later, in a letter to a friend from the Pacific, he writes, "That is the final rule of life, the best one ever made, 'whososhall offend one of these little ones'"--~remembering that ail the 800,000,000 on earth; except oneself, are the little ones." Literary critics have spoken of the "greatness" of Rupert Brooke, and then paused almost astonished at the boldness of their own conviction that such he was. Yet it were impossible to deny him the title to greatness. The volume of his writings is slender range is not very wide.

"We hope to start from England in the early summer of next year on Scott's old ship, the Terra Nova, with a roll of some fifty-eight souls, in- cluding the shore and ship parties. "Our objects will be: *'1. To ascertain the position and extent of the mineral and other de- posits already known to exist In Ant- arctic, and obtain 'data for their | practical development as a further source of imperial wealth. "3. To obtain further 'evidence of the localities and migrations of whales of economic value, and to create. British industries in trade, "3.

"It is an ambitious program, but we shall have plenty of time in which to carry it out, as the expedition will not be returning until 1926. "The first year we intend 'Winter- ing' on the 'Great Ice Barrier,' that huge mass of ice between King Ed- ward VII, Westward and South Vie- toria. No party has hitherto spent 2 winter there, so that it will be a novel experience for us. "Accompanying us on the Terra Nova will be an airplane in which, at a suitable 'start off' point, some of us hope to. fly to the South Pole. "To provide against failure the machine will be equipped with sledge, provisions and tent, as a forced land- ing in polar regions under such con- 'halt.' "I hope, though, for success, in which case a return journey to the South Pole from the 'bharrier" should easily be made within the twenty- four hours, | 'That there are possibilities of commercial 'development of the Ant- arctic regions is well known. The capability of the economic resources | being once'proved and aerial naviga- | tion made a more or less usual af- | fair, the good that will accrue will be incalculable. "The cost of the expedition, which, by the way, is being organized in con- i nection with the Falkland Island De- | pendencies, will be somewhere around $500,000.
