CONTEMPORARIES
The Pleasures and Profits of
Reading New Books

We certainly take more interest IN
the writings Of our contemporaries and
pardon their lack Of inspiration for
the sake Of something that brings them
nearer TO US IL Is even arguable that
we get actually more from the living,
although they may be much inferior
than from the dead In the first place,
there can be no secret vanity in read
ing our contemporaries, and the kind
OF admiration which they inspire is eX-
tremely warm ana genuine, because IN
order TO give way to our belief IN them
we have often 70 sacrifice some very
respectable prejudice which does us
credit We have also 70 find our own
reasons for what we like and dislike,
which acts as spur 20 our attention
and is the best way Of proving that We

allied: but the old munger 70 hHo"

women feel. what are their houses like
and what clothes do they wear, what

what do they see Of the surrounding
world and what is the dream that fills
the spaces Of their active lives? Ihey
tell US all these things in their BOOKS.
In them We can see as much both OF
The mind and Of the body OF our time
"a We have eyes for seeing
when such a spirit Of curiosity has
fully taken hold Of US, the dust VIII

some necessity forces US 20 read them.
For the living voices are. after al, the
ones We understand the best. We can

they are guessing our riddles, and
that is perhaps more important, we
understand their jokes. And we soon

fords US Undesirable pleasure. We

and their heroes among those figures
who play so large a part in our silent
life.
Something Of the same sort happens
IN the case Of the memoir writers and
photographers, who have created al
most q fresh branch OF literature IN
our age. They are not all OF them
important people, but, strangely
enough, only tho most important, the
dukes and the statesmen, are ever
really dull The men and women who
set out, with no excuse except perhaps
that they saw the Duke OF Wellington
once. to confide to US their opinions,
their quarrels, their aspirations and
their diseases, generally end by be-
coming, for the time at least, actors
i'm those private dramas with when
we beguile our solitary walks and our
sleepless hours. Refine all this out OF
our consciousness and we should be
poor indeed. And then there are the
books OF facts and history, books about
bees and Vasps and industries and
gold mines and expresses and diplo-
matte intrigues, about rivers and saw
ages. trade unions and acts of Paris-
ment, which we always read and al
ways, alas! forget.
Perhaps we are not making out
good case for bookshop when we
have 20 confess that 1t gratifes so
many desires which have apparently
nothing to do with literature. But let
US remember that here We nave a
literature in the making. From these
new books our children will select the
one or two BY which we shall be
known forever. Here, II we could
recognize it, lies some poem, or novel,
or history which will stand up and

crowd Of Shakespeare's day is silent

his poetry. London Times Literary

Opinion of
1.-THE War and
Humanity''
A Notable SEQUEL to The Evidence In the Case
James M. Beck

Il most earnestly hope that there will be wide cir
culaton of Mr. Becks 'War and Humanity" 1t is the
kind of book which every self-respecting American,
who loves his country, should read believe that It's
circulation throughout the whole land would have
very real effect in educating public opinion as to the
duty of America in this great world crisis Surely we
cannot permanently rest content, unless we prepare
ourselves both in soul and in body to do duty as
nation in the world. There must be thorough military
and industrial preparedness in this country there must
be an aroused and quickened patriotism, and stern
determination to that the rights of country, and
its citizens everywhere respected and there must
be keen sense of international duty and of the shame
fulness of neglectng this duty Such is the spirit
Americans ought to possess and this book of MIR.
Becks is potent aid in the creation of such spirit -

the most modest Of men; from simple
beginnings he became one Of the world
great sculptors His friend Maitland
Armstrong, the well-known artist, gives
his "Recollections Of Saint-Gaudens" in

pleasing impression of the sculptor's
delightful personality.
