tended as humble tribute to two great masters of the true weird (one of them is no longer with us); Robert E. Howard and Seabury Quinn. To say that I merely enjoyed Almuric would be a gross understatement; for I visited there an alien world, fought back to back with the strongest man of two planets, suffered the cold of the peril-fraught night. Surely, no mean author it is who can thus gain such absolute control over the subconscious of his readers. With Washington Nocturne it is slightly different: here one feels an inner conflict, the futility of war in the light of individual suffering and loss. Whether or not the Unknown Soldier does fill such a splendid capacity is a thing to ponder on; at any rate, it is (in one man's opinion) the most superior tale in the May issue. Congratulations!

And, oh yes, how about a Brundage nude on the cover—as a sort of pleasant surprise?”
No Dog Tags?
Joseph A.

E. F. wore no identification or 'dog tags.' This is wrong, I have upon good authority. The stories The Hollow Moon by Everil Worrell and the above-mentioned Washington Nocturne were my choice. . . . I have not missed an issue of WT since the 1923 number wherein appeared Ooze."
That Iceberg Cover
Sonya Ardell writes from Miami, Florida: "This is the first fan letter I've ever written to any magazine, mainly because up till now I just haven't taken time off for such things, but after seeing the May issue of Weird Tales, I just had to steal the time to let you know that after viewing Harold DeLay's cover and illustrations for this issue I consider him the master artist of them all so far, in this particular field of art work. His delicate handling of colors for the cover was fascinating
