This short collection of poems by the Southern Pines winter resident has received scant official notice: reviewers and critics have not been disposed to comment on this small book’s simple stirring lines. It is hardly surpris ing; for some years now reviewers and critics have largely confined their professional interest to poetry that was not simple and not stirring. Despite this neglect “War Songs” has apparently gone straight to the heart of the people. It is already sold out. Claude Hayes will take orders for it but there will be a delay until a new printing comes off the press. The Director of Music of the Colum bia Broadcasting System has asked Mr. Burt’s permission to set one of the poems, “Native Music” to music to use over the net work. Nich^as Berezowski has wired Mr. Burt for permission to compose a musical setting for another of the poems, “Tocsin,” Mr. Berezowski is director of the League of American Com posers. ^ Apparently both the people and mu- As the thing they have, as the quality that has been out of fash ion with most recent poets, the qual ity of song. It is a characteristic that has seldom been absent from either great poetry or popular poetry in the past, and there is no reason to be lieve that poetry can be either great or popular without it now. Since Mr. Burt has written these ballad-like poems for the people and Lieut. Col. Stuart Wood of Eliz abeth City has been awarded the Distinguished Service Medal by the U. S. War Department for his per formance of duties in the Philippines, and Mrs. Wood, now making her home in Southern Pines has declin ed an invitation to accept the medal in a formal presentation ceremony at Fort Bragg, saying that she wishes her husband himself to accept the medal officially when he returns from the Pacific war zone. The citation of General G. C. Mar shall, chief of staff, U. S. Army, in awarding this high honor read as follows: “Stuart Wood, lieutenant colonel. Field Artillery, United States Army. For exceptionally meritorious ser vice to the Government in a duty of great responsibility in the Philip pine Islands from December 8, 1941 to March 11, 1942. On tefnporary as signment in the Philippine Depart ment for medical treatment, on the outbreak of hostilities, Lieut. Col. Wood immediately reported for duty. Assigned as assistant to the As sistant Chief of Staff, G-2, Philippine Department, he rendered invaluable service throughout the campaign.
