WANTED - ORGANIZERS.
In South Bend, Indiana, a remarkable Esperanto Chapter has been
built up during the past year.  Intelligent men and women, girls and
boys, have been attracted to it because their organizer has the
knack of inspiring others to want to work with him.  The organizer is
Andrew I. Rogus.
Mr. Rogus has succeeded in work in which others, more fluent,
more learned, more wealthy, have failed. He has succeeded because
he likes people, and believes that Esperanto helps them.
Domineering leaders and sharp-tongued critics may build up
mutual admiration societies, but the warm humanity of Rogus is
building up an organization destined to have great power.
We need more such organizers.  If your heart is right, you can
do important work for a cause that is bigger than any individual.
Working together, we can accomplish far more than the total results
of our independent efforts.  And the time given to such work brings
happiness far beyond that won thru any diversion.

"VESPERA REVO".
Made to fit the beautiful mel-
ody of the University of Wyoming's
"Alma Mater", this song is in-
serted at the request of a
generous friend to whom it has
brought keen pleasure:
Dum la suno malaperas
En la lasta flama glor',
Kaj la vespersonoriloj
Kantas finon de 1' labor',
Tiam revas mi pri iu
Kiu portas apud kor'
Verdan Stelon, insigneto
De mi malproksime for.
Ho rev' je vesperhor'
pri tiu en memor'
Portanta kun fervor'
La stelon nur por mi.

WHAT IS THE JAPANESE VIEWPOINT?
Writing on World Peace in "Oomoto
Internacia", Koogecu Nashimura says,
"La blanka raso, kiu perforte okupis
8/10 de la tuta terglobo, certe ne
havas moralan raj ton fulmotondri kon-
trau Japanujo, kiu nur klopodas po-
lici parton de Cinujo (sur la bazo
de raj toj ricevitaj de cinoj mem),
sen iu ajn teritoria ambicio.
Japanoj estas mallertaj propagand-
istoj...Tio venas el la antikva
japana tradicio pri la Samuraja
spirito, lau kiu viro devas agi,
anstatau paroladi,"
TO MURDER A FRIEND -
OR TO DIE FOR REFUSING!
(A book review by Robert G. True)
One of the most interesting
Esperanto books that has come
into my hands recently is "Gyges
kaj lia Ringo" which is Paul
Benneman's translation of
Hebbel's world famous drama of
the same name, in German,
written in 1850, and declared
by critics to be the best po-
etic drama of that period.
The play is based on Hero-
dotus ' tale of the Lydian king,
his beautiful wife, and his good
friend Gyges, who is placed in
a situation which compels him
to decide whether to kill his
friend or to submit to being
slain himself.
Here we have a book which is
a conclusive answer to any argu-
ment that the kara lingvo is
incapable of poetic expression.
It is a difficult book - as
Benneman says in his antau-
parolo, only a master of the
language could hope to derive
full measure of enjoyment from
it, and yet, with the exception
of names from Greek mythology,
fully explained in the Aldonoj
of the book, I failed to find a
single word not made clear in
even so small a scope as the
Edinburgh dictionary.
It is a book Esperantists
should know and appreciate,
and perhaps also use as a
measure of their mastery of the
language.* ____________
