GKC says it's dead; his correspondents say it is yet to be born. The discussion in Everyman is interesting in that it offers a quick overview of opinions held at the time, including those who thought that all that people like GKC and GBS did was show off their dialectical prowess without any real contribution. It includes The Chance of the Peasant, The Collapse of Socialism, A Salute to the Last Socialist and a long string of replies.
Other additions: The Political Poetry of William Watson (from The Fortnightly Review); The Alfred Millenary (from The Speaker); another Queer Trades story; and some poems.
I've started a section on the Illustrated London News, in sharp contradistinction with my stated purpose of leaving ILN, Daily News, New Witness and G. K.'s Weekly for later. The full list of ILN articles alone must be about as long as everything else I've include so far; the original items lacked titles; and there are always two dates (UK and US) - all of which makes it hard to decide on a mode of presentation. The present format is only provisional: as the lists grow they may need a separate file.
