PASSIONS Table d'Hote

Between his publishers ever so seriously
intended rhapsody about arcs and SYM
phonetic poems and the reviewers some
what too hasty attacks on James Open
helms trplicate full stops, there seems
very little choice Mr.. Huebsch fancies
that THE Beloved" of which he is the
publisher is a very beautiful work re-
viewers of that book have found 1t
rather silly book and have said so. Pos
sibly II Mr.. Huebsch had restrained his
enthusiasm the reviewers would have
found something more pleasing in THE
Beloved"
But II is rather hard to believe that
a great representation OF a passionate
episode can be made by an artist who
has but one symbol TO show, one note to
sound, one color on his palette. Mr.. OPP
penheim wishes to write about passion to
conjure it up in the sordid breasts of his
readers And yet the only way he can
manage even to indicate its presence is to
use the word So passion" like a weary,
wearying flea, hops laborlously from page
to page. II page 213 misses the word, YOU
will find 1t thrice on page 214. Its bat
ting average is over 1856.
Similarly Mr.. Oppenheim wishes to sug-
gest depths of the soul. For that he uses
Mr.. Hilaire Belloc suggested that when
you hadn't anything to say you ought to
put in n row of aSterlsks, indicating pro-
fuudity of unuttered thought. But not
until now has an author wasted good type
with the prodigality of Mr.. Oppenheim.
There is really only one thing against
Mr. Opperheim That Is that his story
is wofully old. which 1t ought never TO
be- inasmuch as it deals with eternitles.
1t is hard to argue about such things, and
II happens that argument is unnecessary,

From Ottomans.

ROME, July q.
The question OF peace or war between
italy and Turkey now rests in the hands
Of Baron sonnino, the italian FOREIGN
Minister.
Following a cabinet council that lasted
nearly four hours. the Ministry gave the
Foreign Minister full power to take any
steps necessary TO secure satisfaction
from Turkey for the illegal use of the
italian nag
italy and Turkey are nearer diplo-
matte break than at any time since the
war began as a result Of the seizure Of an
italian nag and the failure Of the Otto
man Government to answer the protests
of the Italian Ambassador at CONSTANT
nopie
The latest incident affecting the Turk
ish-1talian relations was fully dicussed
by the Cabinet According TO a report
from the italian Ambassador at Con-
stantinople, the Turks after SELLING the
Italian steamer Mondello used II as a
transport in the Sea Of Marmora, keeping
the Italian flag flying to insure immunity
from the Anglo French fleet at the Darda-
nelles. The italian Ambassador protest.
ed against the seizure and misuse OF the
Italian flag, but no attention was paid.

Such is the decision OF the Master and
Journeynen BARRIERS Association, and It
caused much comment today in street

The attitude Of the BARRIERS toward the
public generally may be CLEANED by their
addresses. Boiled down to few words,
most OF the patrons were classed as
cheap skates and suckers"
1t was learned that a fellow who didn't
get his hair cut every two weeks was
sucker guy. Whether It needed cutting
or not was not taken into consideration.

An Attaches War
Observations

None of the testimony so far offered by
war observers can properly be character
tied as wholly unbiased. The sclf-styled
neutral ordinarily is singularly unneutral
in recording his observations and com
mentlng thereon. II must be admitted,
however, that i'm "The Notebook of an
Attache" Century Company. New York;.
the author, Eric Fisher Wood has sue
ceeded in a noteworthy degree in divest-
ing himself of prejudIces. the possession
of which he admits, and has written what
imprcsses the reader as a singularly fair
and impartial review of all that he saw.
Mr.. Wood was first volunteer attache
at the American Embassy In Paris; later
he witnessed the so-called battles of the
Marne and the Aisne from the French
side, and still later he visited England,
Switzerland Holland, Germany. Austria
and Hungary, viewing the fast-mOving
historical drama from behind the scenes.
His personal experiences have been eX-
ceedlngly Interesting, and at times even
thrilling, and add very much to the. en-
tertalning qualities of what might other
wise be a more recital of events with
which the world Is but too familiar The
book is truly an important contribution to

Futile as Fact,
Feeble as Fiction

In this day when descriptions of the
sensitvely and elaborately organized es-
pionage system OF the Kaiser are so fire.
quent and so terrifying very few persons
are willing to take unto themselves the
dubious distinction of being a German
spy or even to encourage further sus-
piclon by open confession of having been
n part of that subtle and seemingly uni
versal institution
Not so Armgaard Carl Graves. who
called himself Doctor" though his ig-
norance Is too illimitable to warrant the
claim for learning which the title implies.
He has followed his revelation" of tile
secrets of the German spy system with
a new romance of EXPOSE" the THE
Secrets OF the Hohenzollerns" Mcbride,
Mast and Company, New YorlO
Many lofty names are dragged through
these pages, many events in high places
are touched on, many diplomatic secrets
are rent of their veil, many times are the
italics which denote foreign phrases used,
Doctor Graves employs illusions as lib
orally as James Huneker or George Jean
Nathan, but, unlike Huneker. does not
use them accurately. His dates and data
don't synchronlze with his descriptions.
He seems TO have small Latin and less
German. When writer hourishes the
foreign phrase and the recondite allusion
used properly. When historical events
are set forth in cause-and-effect argu-
ment the informed reader expects chro-
nological sequence and plausible logic
Judge all by examples. Mr.. Graves
uses such Latin as '1apsis mentalis," and
"timeos danaos"; he refers both TO
Frederick III and Wilhelm IL as EN-
peror of Germany; he Is not sure of the
plural of "fcllah." which he uses num-
ber of times in his Egyptian chapters.
but never uses the proper plural "fellah-
een"; he persists In pluralizing "drago-
man" with "-men," as If the second ele-
ment were Teutonic root subject to
umlaut.
For romance the Graves book does very
we'll; but at this time, when it's subject
and text are so largely in the public

an entrance. but the fumes were too much
for him. Meanwhile, a fire company ar
rived on the scene and by means of lad
ders effected an entrance into the room.
There they found several sulphur candles
burning, which were the source of the
smoke. Frank Harrison, the owner. soon
appeared and said he had been fumigating
