The toll-counted in human lives of the great struggle against German militarism is going to be terribly heavy, says Tit-Bits Of that there are already unmistakable indications and the women of the nation must prepare themselves to bear stoically and cour- ageously the great sacrifices which are inevitable, finding comfort in the knowledge that they are giving their husbands and sons in the cause of lib- erty and justice and civilization.
 Modern warfare is conducted by such greatly increased numbers that the casualty lists must necessarily be far higher than in bygone days, but 1t is some consolation to know that the per centage of combatants who fall has decreased considerably as compared

THE NEW OPTIMISM"

By IT. deVere StackpoIe. The John Lane
 company, publishers, New York.
 Dr. Stackpole conjectures as to the heights to which man may yet climb, now that he has developed worldwide soul-a mind which thinks collectively in- stead of Individually. As a philosopher he argues in strain which is in strik- ing contrast to the gloomy forebodings and lamentations of some of his morose contemporaries.
 Socialism, Syndicalism and Anarch- ism he writes. are all one voice speak ing in different tones. and that voice is growing and must be answered, not by repression. but by philosophy. Man is speaking in no uncertain tones. and he wants some reply more opposite to his argument that the glib chirrup of Pippa"

He pegan by ferrying commuters, but from the first the captain of the regular steamer was determined to allow no competition.

than in anything he has written since "Abner Daniel' and Pole Baker," There Is also a newer quality, an cas- fer and more engaging manner than belonged to the earlier tales, on which the authors reputation was founded. MT. Harben has gained increasing un- derstanding, not perhaps of the types of human nature he loves to portray for of the Pole Bakers and Abner Daniels and Ann Boyds his knowledge was always sure and instinctive--but of the springs of fietional interest. He has been praised much and by high authority for his simple and true real
 ism for his fidelity to the human types and to the social atmosphere of rural Georgia. "The New Clarion" deserves similar encomium, yet one prefers rather to speak of its heartfelt quality, its unexaggerated sentiment its easy and persuasive development as a nar- rative.
 These latter qualities, however are part of general mellowing and re- fining of the authors art; they can not we'll be made manifest through brief quotations or comment. fact that lends itself more readily to crit ical remark is the introduction by MT. Harben into this new story of his of fresh phase of life In The New Clar- ion" one smells the pungent paper and ink odors of a rural printing shop; one Is entertained by It's humorous amen- ities, delighted by it's 1eisurely ways, stimulated by it's more or less prentious air of it's rattling busy-ness. For The New Clarion" tells the fortunes of a young editor who wants to do some- thing real in the rural field Howard Tinsley, after a bitter quarrel with his father, a narrow religionist is on the point of going west to seek his fortune when Abner Daniel, as friend of How ards broken hearted mother, inter- venes Abner buys "The New Clarion."' and keen as he Is on horse trade, finds he has something to learn about the newspaper business Meanwhile Howard. who has thrown himself into his work in the flush of a new free dom becomes implicated In a murder Circumstantial evidence growing out of his hot-headed quarrel with drunk en, abusive farmer binds him tight to the crime. It is then that Pole Bak CT and Abner Daniel unite their rare tall ents in behalf of their common friend Pole, who is Sort O good at big, bold, quick shot sort O bluff" and Abner, who understands to perfection the art of "wheedling a chap along with lazy offhand chat" Exciting as the result is there is little smack of the detective story, but rather n fine savor of human nature in the account of how these two, by a combination of worldly and unworldly wisdom, drag a confession from the true criminal. 'The New Clarion" will gain added friends for a sincere and well-loved story teller.
