From Vienna comes new and contentious work on Love" It is Eros" history of human emotion, by Emil Lucka, the young Nienncse scientist, philosopher. and novelist. It is a history of masculine love. Of the love lifo of women. he says there Is no history She has been always the same. not with the victim of Ri gantic aspiring dualism. What spirit ual love she has experienced has been always wrapped with her sex i'm pulse. .,z-.. .-4.s ..sl.
 The long struggle upward, the changing chapters of human emotion, are in his eye, wholly the story of the spiritual love of the male. Tho mans alone that sense that sex is one thing, spiritual love another. His alone the drama of making or failing in a union of the two. His alone the progress made from sensual love to woman service on to the equality Of experience. Tn the love history Of wonankind Herr Lucka finds no ti- tanic struggles to reconcile. love to life. It has been life and life-making from the beginning, and though in enthusiasm for the simplicity of her success at closely Intervening love and sex he finds mans ultimate sep aration of the two within prophecy, and productive of a truer spirituality.
 There is Love and Love.
 Of men and their spiritual love- from the experience of the male half of the human race he draws the facts he uses for his thesis, that, after alt. sexual experience is not the parent. rf nirif .a different sources. and back through history he goes to make points for his argument.
 The history of human experience, Herr Lucka maintains, may roughly be divided into three great periods in primitive life, he says, we find no spiritual love. Promiscuity in the sex relations of the men and women of primitive tribes he takes for granted. He makes d point of the lack of con- ncction in the minds of certain primi- tive tribes--he uses those of North Australia in particular-between the act of generation and the appearance m onths afterward of offspring. Every child had mother, but the father hood idea does not find a way into definite comprehension.
 With his first congratulations. Dr. Goldenweiser, professor of anthro- biology at Columbia University promptly disagrees.
 'EvidentIy,'' says Professor Golden weiser "Herr Lucka is no scientist from the very beginning. He is using tho old anthropological methods Of the last century. He has theory and he is hunting here and there for facts that stick. This is no painstaking ex-

 Emil .Lucka explains in his book that in primitive times spiritual love was an unknown factor, because Of the lack of personal Individuality of the men and women concerned.
 "Come,' again says Professor Gol- denweiser, "that Is not so positive a fact. We are beginning to be aware of individuaIities, through studying primitive tribes Is full of suicide for within our vision. And the history of primitive tribes $ full of suicide for love, elopements even to the penalty of death and utter banishment from all social intercourse with the tribe, that can have come but from what we moderns call romantic falling in love, a process wholly dependent on the personality of the individuals. And jealousy is there."
 Woman Externally the Same.
 What Herr Lucka maintains is that there is a difference between nascu line true love and the true love of wo- men. She is today erotically what she WEBS thousands of years ago, as nat ural as undivided, in her emotion.
 ''She is hrdly conscious of the chasm between personal love and sex ual instinct ....... phycl1o-physical unity is the basic characteristic of fe- male eroticism." Womans love, he feels has a naive simplicity about it.
 Of the generally accepted differ ences in the love life of the sexes, the polygamous tendency of the male, the
