LITERATURE OF THE DAY
a BOOK OF SHORT STORIES BY
3. GERTRUDE HALL


s'NIeg of the Scarlet Foot" by w.
Edwards TirebucIS-''The Looms
of Time" by Mrs Hugh Fraser
"This Little WOrld' - "The
"Arithmachimist."
Miss Gertrude Hall has an enviable
reputation among the elect for the kind
of story she can tell and the way she
tells it. She is almost alone among
our short-story writer's in her handling
of fantasy, the delicately unreal. Up
to the present time, however her
stories have been perhaps too "tar
from today" to command general ad-
miratiOn or give general pleasure. IN
the present volume she comes nearer
to reality and warm human interest
without in any way abating the charm
and delicacy of either her subject or
her style Her persOnages move before
the readers mind with the grace and
springing ease of a procession of
figures on a Greek frieze, but to beauty
OF outline they add the cOlOrs of life.
"ChlOe, Chloris and Cytherea" is a
thoroughly charming and very human
lOVe-story in which the affectation of
the names she has chosen to give the
characters COnventionalizes the whole
tale very prettily. We can see the
moral Of Chloris' history much better
than - her name were Jane or Mary,
and yet her personality is so warm and
penetrating as to override the effect
Of what is scenic in the tale.
'Dorastus' is not gripped to reality
quite 50 firmly, and loses in strength
thereby, bat even as it stands 1t is
strong and fresh study in motherhood
that subject about which there seems
nothing divinely new to say. The
Passing u Spring" is an equally subtle
but less satisfactory study in first love,
or rather, irst attraction.
Tho Hundred" the title story Of the
volume, is, with the exception Of the
tale of ChloMs, the best thing in the
collection and should be read rather
than talked about. AS a whole the
volume IS one which will not only add
TO Miss Halls reputation among the
discerning, but alsO-We trUst-will win
her new friends and readers. She IS
already q person to he reckOned with
artistically in counting UP our store Of
young American talent. One or two
more volumes intrinsically as good as
this and q little-juSt a Nttle-mOre
adapted to touch the general heart,
viii put her among our literary artists
who are also persons Of commercial
Importance in the publishers markets.

GERMAN MMERCE.

The British Consul Mulvany, in
/ Germany has made a consular report,
which attracts much attention. He
states the relations between the Ger
man Government, and the foreign COM
mercial interests, which discloses the
strength of the German movement in
reaching foreign trade. The Govern
ment is creating foreign commercial
imperial policy, by using the organic
ed power Of the state to directly
superintend commerce. 1t not only
opens up new trading posts for the
manufacturers and merchants, but
regulates the trade itself, so that there
will not be undue imitation and de-
preston. 1t is taking advantage of
it's short, but valuable experience in
foreign trade. The consul says that
the organizing powers and education
acquired by the German through com
pulsory service in the army, is used
to organize a new and vast system of
commerce.
He says: Us there, in the history
of the commercial world. a parallel
case of an old country having made
such strides towards commercial sue
cess within half a century as that of
Germany, which was only constituted
an empire some twenty-seven years
ago, during which time such an alb
normally long depression in trade was
passed through with a huge army to
support, navy to create and develop, |
and so much to learn? The thing is
unique under military, parental, and
now Imperial Government. What is
the great secret of this remarkable |
success? Its groundwork is military
organization applied to trade and in
dustry to meet the requirements there |
Of What is the outcome? Germany, |
a great military power, is on the eve
of development into a naval and COM
mercial power of the first order. Who |
helps to pay the bill of costs of the |
German Empire? The foreign manu-
facturer, who has to cut down his |
prices in order to pass the Customs, |
to compete with the Germans in their |
home markets.

A STRANGE SITUATION.

Three years ago any prediction that
American troops would visit these ISL
ands, en- route to the Philippines
would have been regarded as the work
of a disordered brain. But in history
the unexpected happens, because the
law which govern the evolutions of
events is unknown. He who could dis
cover that law would see in the events
of today only natural and inevitable
results
From the landing of the American
missionaries in 1920, to the landing of
a brigade of American troops in 1898,
a period of seventy-eight years, there
is not a break in the thread of history
if we only knew how the shuttles
few forward and backward in the
looms.
We said last year, that the destiny
of Hawaii was probably involved in
the destiny of Cuba. Did any one
dream of it, that the destiny of Hawaii
would be involved in the destiny of
the Philippines? Yet, there stand on
our shores today, a brigade of men,
who are to work out the destiny of the
Philippines, and perhaps determine
that of these Islands.
War has been, and is now, the great
reconstructor of nations and cOmmu-
mites. The shells that lie in the
magazines of the Charleston are the
rapid firing missionary ammunition of
Reconstruction, the forces that wipe
out old lines on the maps and make
new ones. The men who pull the
triggers of the Springfield guns, at the
word of command, are the enlisted
Apostles of the New Order of things.
A hundred years ago, they would have
been the simple machines of selfish
soyereig1s. and plotting statesmen.
Today, they represent principles, not
men or dynasties. The mere landing
of troops here means nothing. But
as an event or fact in reconstructing
the map of the lands touched by the
Pacific, it's meaning is more than any
human intelligence can explain. The
contrasts of events makes almost the
romance of history. Spain misrules
Cuba in the caribbean Sea. American
soldiers stand on Hawaii, ten thous-
and miles away in the ocean. There
is no visible connection between these
events. But there is still the relation
of cause and effect between them, alb
solute and inevitable.

UNLAWFUL WARFARE.

The Spanish Cortes became excited
recently over a statement that in one
of the recent engagements between
the American fleet and some Spanish
Notifications, the Americans had, for
some time, fooled the Spaniards, by
hosting the Spanish flag. This alleg-
ed act of the Americans was denounc-
ed as uncivilized warfare. And the
Spanish ambassadors at the European
courts were directed to inform man
kind in general that the Americans
had done a very mean piece of bust
ness, and were no better than. savages
The story about using the Spanish
flag is undoubtedly untrue. But it will
suit the Spaniards to use it. The next
announcement of the Spanish Govern
ment may be, that it is engaged in a
war with the United States solely i'll
the interests of humanity. During the
wars in the Low Lands, the Spanish
commanders crowded men, women and
children of the conquered cities into
barges, covered them up and drowned
them in the rivers. Then they resorted
to the churches, sung TIE Deums. and
thanked God they had hOnored the
Cross.
That now valuable historical do
cument. the Proclamation of the
Governor of the Philippines, denounc-
ing the Americans as savages, is ex-
cellent evidence of the fact that the
Spaniards have persuaded themselves
that they are now defending ''civiliza-
ton" against an attack by the bar
barians.
There is but one way to settle with
a people, who hold such views; clean
them out The United States have
been for two years open to the charge
of permitting outrages, misrule and
cruelty to women and children in
Cuba. As the Spaniards call their
rule civilized, there is nothing to be
done. but settle once for all time,
what "civilization" means. The sword
must do it.

A Savage Duel.

A pair of Japanese fought a duel
with swords in a Smith street house
about 1 o'clock this morning. They
used swords three feet long. Both
are in hospital and one may
die. A mutual friend who attempted
to stop the battle is under care of
surgeons. The fight was arranged after
a row over woman. The police are
in charge of the wounded men.

The San Francisco Chronicle has
an Illustration of "Our allies in the
Philippines" These are Gaddan In
dams. who Occupy the northern part
of the island of Luzon, and have re
sisted the Spanish forces with much
success. These new allies of the Amer
leans are not enthusiastic about the
use of clothing, and are armed with
bows and arrows. 1t would be strange
spectacle indeed to behold a brigade of
American soldiers fanked by another
brigade of naked allies, marching on
Manila, with a discharge of Spring
field rifles, and primitive bows alter
mating with each other. The business
of warfare makes queer combinations.
