I turn to this issue first (before going back to catch up with The Egoist) because I want to see what my window into July 1914 will reveal. The 23rd would have been almost exactly a week before the war began. England will declare war on August 4.
So, of course, "Current Cant" is simply a bunch of quotations from BLAST (a nice selection of the most embarrassing moments, see the beginning in the image below). Joyce Kilmer is also quoted when he takes a shot at The New Age.
There's an early English-language responses to Freud's On the Interpretation of Dreams by "M.B. Oxon," who is intrigued but a bit scandalized--"to the dirty everything is dirty."
Beatrice Hastings/Alice Morning continues her "Impressions de Paris," intriguingly offering a critique of The New Statesman's response to Blast and Italian Futurism...
The "Press-Cutter" takes a brief shot at The Egoist in correspondence: And, lest
we forget, the other lady’s paper, the ‘Egoist,' prints a letter in which you are ranked with it as ‘ advanced.'
Are you so far behind as that?"
