criticism. But as to what the criticism
is or what the book he has but vague
ideas. They bore him, and in his hasty
march through life has learned the
trick of promptly Kidding his path Of
all things that bore him. The ntera-
ture of his work, whatever that may
be, does not bore minneapolis of stocks
or of new microbes or of findings in
court. These things he understands.
What have these distractions, he says,
to do with life-life? His work is his
life. Work now puts a stress am
strain on men Of which our ancestors
knew little. The American is in the

the difference between their loss and
that of their enemies is not so great
az it used to be. Then, too, to show
their "barbarity," and "savagery," last
week they psrOled a captured
captain and sent him to Ma
Mia, to try to arrange terms Tor
conducting the war on more "ciVl-
lized~ and Humanitarian" system.
