(LD SALTS DREAN . 0N CONRAD PORGH Every Day Finds Sailors lltilu ing Memol Blshopsbourne, England, Feb. 3 UP—Every day finds a few ancient mariners comfortably rocking on the new Conrad memorial porch and dreaming of the days when the seas were peopled with wooden ships and iron men. The old salts regard Joseph Con- vad as fieir own property. He is one of the few writers who could ‘write about the sea without having sea dogs turn up their noses. The veteran sailors look askance st the crowds of literary visitors from all over the world who also visit the memorial porch of the Bishepbourne town hall, to ex- amine the tablet dedicated to the great Polish writer who became a British subject and adopted Eng- lish as his writing medium because it was 80 much richer in sea terms than any other language. Bishopbourne, an inland Kent Wilage near Canterbury, was the home of Conrad for the last five years of his life, and it was from his home near here, The Oswalds, that the author of “Victory” and %0 many ather famous sea stories embarked on his final voyage into unknown waters. When the village hall was built four years ago Conrad contributed liberally to the fund for the social center. 80 when the villagers de- cided to erect a memorial to the novelist it was decided that the building of a roomy porch on the hall to welcome wayfarers would be & memorial most to the liking of the lamented novelist, and Mrs. Conrad heartily supported the idea. Poles are numerous among the tourists who come to visit Con- rad's last home. The novelist al- ways retained great love for the land of his birth and made frequent visits to his old home, but he had passed his most active years at sea and was happlest living within & short journey of the great English ports where he could watch shipping that linked England with the remote parts of the world. President Theodore Roosevelt was a great admirer of Conrad, and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt was among the early contributors to the Conrad me- morfal. 8haw, Hardy, Kipling, Gals- | worthy and scores of other famous authors subacribed to the fund for the Conrad shrine, MAETERLINCK HAS PRIVATE CHATEAU Fricods Wooder t0 What Use It ¥ill Be Pat Chinon, France, Feb. 8.
