for the truth, Twilight" he says, lis pleasant only to bat-like souls Les Miserables' is like a great theatre with a revolving stage. Tne audience is the world and at each turn another phase of life is presented to it. The audience Is made to feel but it is always made to think, for each little drama Is in turn related to the underlying prob lem.
 The chief interest, of course, centers
 about the criminal, Jean Val Jean, and,
 correspondingly, the chief purpose of Hugo's novel is to rouse the question of social responsibility to the individ- ual to the poor; to the criminal in prison. and most of all, to the criminal in after life Prison reform has been the cry of the idealists since time | imfnemorial. The question was a most pertinent one 50 years ago; as it is to- nday, and probably will be 50 years to come. To make, through fiction, a
 definite appeal to society for a change fn its treatment of criminals was Hu- go's desire.
 In many ways he suggested also the | manner In which these reforms should be enacted: no better example of true efficiency wrought through love has I ever been portrayed than in the fa- nous scene between the bishop and the bunted outcast-the "scene of the can ! dlesticks." In this tableaux, where, | on the one side, stand the officers of
 the law, which has no confidence in l man, and on the other the man of
 charity, who touches In this wreck of a human life, Jean Val Jean, the spark
 which rekindles hope and trust; in this 1 tableaux we find the beginning and
 the end of the problem which Hugo set l out to solve. We find it a strangely
 modern problem. and a solution very
 like that which occurs to idealists of our day:
 "Girt with the fragile armor of youth, | Child, you must ride into endless F. wars
 With the sword of protest, the buckler l of truth,
 l And a banner of love to sweep the starss

ENGLAND FEARFUL
 OF CONSCRIPTION

London, September 10.-(Special.) i've have apparently reached the most bitter period of the ''compulsion or no compul- sion" controversy. If one were foolish enough, after all that has happened in England in the past 13 months, to form an opinion on surface signs, one would be perfectly justified in coming to the conclusion that there was little or no possibility of forcing compulsion upon the country. However, those whose busi- ness 1t Is to watch events and, in some measure. to predict the future. have had many disturbing lessons in the past and find 1t well not to believe too much in surface signs.
 The government, or rather certain members of 1t, are busy telling the all too persistent advocates of compulsion that nothing could be worse for the country at the present moment than . public controversy on this sore subject. But then most of us have fairly long memories and we cannot forget that the same thing was said about cotton as con- traband. The government backed by the pacifist press, began by protesting that a contraband declaration would be a bad thing, proceeded to show that it waa not necessary, followed by asking that the government be left to deal in it's own way in the matter. and finaly climbed all the way down and did the very thing 1t solemnly and emphaticaily declared was useless and harmful We cannot forget the history of the intuition shortage, or the coalition government. under pres. sure, has done a right about face. In fact, we have learned by sad experience that the government does not really mean what it says and that when it declarel certa1p course is unnecessary and un- desirable, it is nearing the time when Il Is about to adopt the very procedure Il is condemning.

COMPTON PLACE HAS
 AMERICAN HOSTESS

London. September 4-(Spe eciaL)--At last Compton Place, Eastbourne. will have an American hostess in the per- son of Mrs. Almeric Paget she and her husband having succeeded in doing what no one else has ever managed. namely, to induce the Devonshires to let that wonderful place of theirs. And the millionaire Yankees that have for years and years tried to get 1t for . term must number hundreds. believe if the old duke and duchess could rise in their graves they would haunt the new tenants. It was always their great boast that this mansion would never. never be presided over by any save their own kindred. We'll. even the Devonshires have to go with tho times. for what with increasing taxes
 the paying of colossal death duties. and other things to pay, money must bo forthcoming and, of course. Mrs AL merle Paget. who was . Whitney. has it.
 Compton Place is the most luxurious country abode in England. King Ed ward enjoyed house party there more than any place and constantly used to invite himself there. The late duchess who. by the way was Ger man, was veritable sport and one of the loveliest women of her day. but, for years and years, she disowned her own country and you couldn't offer
 her a greater insult than to insinuate that she came from the fatherland. hear the Pagets are having tho splendid mansion all redecorated. I can see Mrs. Almeric giving tho
 order in her majestic way. [ think she's the most luxurious of all
 the luxury loving Americans. something
 in the way of an excuse being offered
 her in the fact that she is not very robust. I understand she's going to
 have a lot of weekend parties at the seaside resort. She has certainly done her bit nobly in war charities and now she and her friends are going to have little breathing time.
 The war office, I believe, thought Compton Place ought to be given them for the duration of the war for an hospital, but the duke was quite frank about the matter and said he could not afford to do so. though every one knows he would if he could. The pres- ent Duches of Devonshire. who Is mis- tress of the robes, brides herself on the fact that she Is practical abovA everything else. She is one of the in- inmates of Queen Mary and both think you should never do anything you can- not afford to do and that you should be just before you're generous.-
 which is a very good motto.

With all of Tolstoy's teaching be- hind us and every writer of todfLy striving toward the way of servtce it is difficult to realize the significaace of ak work like Les Miserables." Al though the book did not appear until 1862. we have certain proof in the essay that the idea had seen dormant in the mind of the author for long time. The book caused Q furore Of excitement in France and no wonder. when we consider the contemporaneeus works. On the one hand. following the lead of Hugo's early days, were the Romanticists with their. intense in- terest in their own emotion and their extravagant capacity for wonder. On the other hand. stood Ea1sac "secre- tary of the world" pointing relent- lessly at each group of society and portraying with impeccable art their lives, but never once connecting these groups with that larger writ of so- ciety: Humanity or Developing Man."

 Hugo stood on the border land be- ttween the old and the new. In his .'early work he was turned toward tho \, H,'Romantic School" and when he fi- ,pally faced the dawning east he
 brought with him "clearness of vis- aon born of love-" as we'll as nonchai- ant inaconracy for details that shocks the present day realist. But to these he added the recognition of the power of fiction for reform. Les Misera bles' lis a picture of European life, but picture with a purpose. This under lying social purpose was expressed in Ia question.
