MIR. Gleason's Golden Lads"

In Golden Lads" recently published by
the Century Company, Mr.. Arthur Gleason
has collected many of the papers in which
he had recorded from time to time his
personal impressions on the Belgian front.
Some Of these appeared in The Tribune
"The Spy" "The Atrocity" and "The
Steam Roller"-being the precursors Of
the admirable articles on the work of the
American Ambulance and other organiza-
tons for caring for wounded French sol
diers which Mr.. Gleason is now contribut-
ing to this page.
This authors writing is based entirely
on personal observation. He tells only
what he himself saw or obtained at first
hand at the front from participants in the
fighting or sufferers from its effects. What
he says carries complete conviction. There
is in it the transparent veracity Of the
trained observer eager not to overstep the
bounds Of exact acknowledgement to drama
tie the war or TO sentimentalize about it,
but TO set down plainly and accurately
just what has been yielded in his case by
personal contact with its heroism and its
horrors.
Mr.. Gleason has drawn a severe indct-
ment of German frightfulness in Belgium
and France. He pictures German ferocity
not as an outgrowth of blind rage. or Of
temporary fury, but as a deliberate, cal
culated feature of military policy.
This view is so repugnant to all the nor
NAL instincts of civilized peoples that
many have rejected it as an invention of
enmity. But Mr.. Gleason never INDUCES
in general, unsubstantiated charges. Whar
he witnessed in Belgium and reports in
this book has been corroborated from many
other sources-by the notebooks (Which
the author has recently reviewed in The
Tribune) taken from the bodies of dead
German soldiers and from German pris
oners and by the confessed German fabri-
cations of outrages on German troops COM
mitted by Belgian civilians-even by
priests. women and children.
The indictment has been strengthened
rather than weakened by the lapse of time
and the results of slow and patient in
yestigation. The world in general took
these charges at first with great deal O.
salt Now what Mr.. Gleason wrote in
1914 and 1915 is being accepted as sober,
lndisputable history.
Mrs. Gleason has contributed to this vol

The Flags on Fifth Avenue.

Above the stately roofs. wind-lifted, high
A lane Of vivid color in the sky,
They ripple clearly. seen Of every eye.
This is your flag: none other: yours alone:
Yours then to honor: and where it is flown
BY your devotion let your heart be known.
Feeble the man who dare not bow the knee
Before some symbol greater far than he
This is no pomp and no idolatry.
Emblem of youth, and hope, and strength
held true
By honor, and by wise forbearance, too
God bless the flags along the Avenue!

Durant Rice, Of Car 125, tells of the ex-
perence Of his comrades:

by the 'medecin major Of the post, imme-

artillery lines are stationed, and from similar
dressing stations in the valleys. The work
during the last month has been a strain upon
every part OF our cars But il saves the
wounded hours OF painful travel and is ap-
reciated in the most touching manner by the

known here-high explosives, burning oil, as

Up to the time that Woodrow Wilson took hold Of

sixtccn-year lease OF power in national affairs It held
the presidency and both branches OF congress save the

any sort OF legislation that its fancy fit to give the

But what IS the rccord-whlch, as you will readily
grant is the best evidence 1t could have established the
