Galsworthy's Fine
New Novel

| ualsworthy has written another lovely
boot-on another uniovely subject The
Freelands" (Charles scribner's Sons, New
York; n characteristic novel IL de-
serves praise and raises regrets.
OF course, II is perfect piece OF ut
erary craftsmanship (barring two 'than
Witches" doubtless picked up two years
ago on his American trip), full Of lovely
vivid writing. And of course, II is ironic'
Indeed, the irony is ingeniously triple dis-
titled. The three Freelands, for instance,
agree that ''the country Is In a bad way.
Felix, novelist, blames II on lndustriansm
and ohloialdom; Stanley, manutaoturer,
on Onicialdom and Destructive Criticlsini
John in the home office, on Destructive
Criticism and 1ndustrialism
Just as inevitably, the book Is struc-
ture OF the most delicate and sympatnetic
haracterization. 1t shines with that
virtue which makes Galsworthy a master
dramatist. The gallery of The Free
lands" numbers, besides the brothers,
their masterful, their aesthetic and their
liberated wives, another marvellous
grandmother, Galsworthy's eVer-loVeiy
children, a young Celtic rebel and his
even more rebellous sister, and heroine,
Felix's daughter, whose face has IN IL
something alive and sweet, something
clear and swift" No short review can
Galsworthy's people.
Finally, OF course, a thesis. The land
England's plutocracy- soil; Its de-
generation; the departure OF the peas
antry: all thrown out as a background
for the action. The bounding OF Tryst,
"the tragic fellow-the moving, lonely
figure; emanation of these solitary helds,
shade Of the departing land!' by pro-
prietress who looks after the morals-as
al he
volt; the strike of the farm laborers lead
by the young Celt, and finally Trysts
imprisonment and death. They are all an
indictment of an obviously vicious plu-
tocracy. How doubly vicious beside the
portrait of that perfect, natural denizen
of the soil, Tod, fourth brother of the
Freelands and father of the rebellious
Celt! The denouement for the defeated
rebel son-love and freedom in New Zea-
land-is one of the minor veXations that
travel with Galsworthy's virtues. 1t
suggests the equally annoying notions
that Galsworthy imagines earthly heavens
to lie just over the hill, and that he fails
to recognize the vital necessity of agita-
tors like the Celt in other English indus
tries besides farming. Though that es-
cape to New Zealand is very far from
solution of the land prob
lem it is still a specimen of his often

PUBLIC OPINION IN

Geneva, December 7.-(Via Paris.)-Dur- ing the past two mtnths there has been a considerable veering of public opinion in Roumania in favor of the neutrality policy of Premier Bratiano says the Journal De Genevas Bucharest corre- spondent The writer adds:
 'iThis has been largely due to the Austro- German invasion of Servia and to the fear of Roumanians undergoing the lot of the Belgians and Servians. A majority of the ruling classes sympathizes with France and hopes that she will be victorious many Roumanians conciliat-
 ing this sentiment with admiration of the strength and force of her resistance to Germany.
 "A great number detests Russia and has no confidence in her army. All Rou- manians, however, agree in desiring na- tional unity. In word the majority of Roumanians think Premier Bratiano has done well to wait for it is believed the war will be long one and that the small country has not the strength or means of resistance that the great powers have. "All are convinced that Premier Bratiano will join the quadruple entente, but only when he can oppose to the 800, 900 Austro- -Hungarians, Germans, Bull garians and Turks an army of equal or superior strength.
 'Roumana's intervention will be de- pendent upon the entry of the Russians into Bulgaria. Italian intervention in the Balkans is regarded with skepticisln. v

 LOOKING FOR MULES
ton of Any Person Connected With Night Riders Crimes

Atlanta, Ga., December 7.-Local police tonight began a search for mules said to have been driven toward Atlanta Sunday, last, after the burning of the barns and granaries of Coggins Brothers in Chero- kee county by men wro it is charged sought thus to enforce their demands that employers rid their premises of in Cherokee county entailing total loss of approximately s9O,o09 Governor Nat E. Harris today offered a reward of s250 for arrest and conviction of any person connected with the crime.
 Sheriff J. P. Spears of Cherokee county who came here today and re- ported that some 15 mules had been stolen before the Coggins barns were burned, stated that the animals had been replaced in the barns by wornout stock before starting the fire, in which 162 mules were lost.
 annonymous warnings had been issued to employers to discharge negroes in their employ.
 Cherokee county, which lies some 40 miles northward of here, adjoins Forsyth county, into which no negro has been al- lowed to enter since the. daughter of a white farmer was assaulted there four years ago. Three negroes were legally hanged for the crime, and two were known to have been lynched.
 There have been no fires in Cherokee county since Sunday. according to re- ports here tonight.

Times Comments on Balkan Situation

London, December S.-The Times says today there should be no surprise if the Italian reports of the retreat of the en- tente forces in Servia from Krovolak and the fortified camp at Kavadar prove correct. The newspaper says the German occupation of Monastir evidently made itself felt on the Vardar and that the al lies have withdrawn to strong positions in the Demarkapou pass, great gorge in the hills, through which runs the Sa- loniki-U Uskup railway, 20 miles north of the Greek frontier. Only narrow path was offered the entente forces, together with a precarious line of communica- tions, and with the Teutonic allies over running the country to the west of the line the need of the retirement of the en- tente allies is obvious.
