APRIL FOLLY By - John Lucas. l2mo. pp
3ls. Z. p. Dutton Co.
The story is well named. Its theme
is folly. some of the greatest folly or
which foolish humanity can ever be
guilty. A young man, who ought TO
know better, halts between two opin-
ions -halts and wavers and twiddles
about between decency and ;ndecency.
OF course, he does not so label them.
To him the one is stogy convention
atty and the other artistic tempera-
ment. There are those fools who i'm
agine that people cannot be clean with
out being stupid, and that artistic gem
Jus essentially implies sexual abber-
rations and laXity In the end, OF
course, he proves himself TO be a cad
and goes, we assume, to the devil.
Mr.. Lucas has developed and delin-
Gated his characters with excellent
ability and has infused the whole story
with the veritable life of the so-called
bohemia of London. He has even
succeeded in investing those charac-
ters with a certain degree of human
sympathy, such as we are not alto
gether sure they would deserve in ac-
tual existence. II is a book which will
command and hold the interest of the
reader, though it will not arouse his
admiration for the phases Of life which
il depicts

The only entirely satisfactory way

no other nation possesses these

forerunner OF the Messiah, and He
has designated the German people
TO be His successor. Ger

mainly. OF all the languages
Of Europe, German is the only living
one. Whoever cannot speak
German is a pariah.
Such are the studied declarations o,
the men of light and leading" In
Germany, TO which a most appropriate
climax IS given in this:
Excessive modesty and humility is
a feature of the German character.
Truly, it isl it u.s.! And as for other
features, let us quote two more dis
tlnguished Doctors Of Divinity:
Germany is the representative Of
the highest morality, of the purest
humanity, of the most chastened
Christianity. Whoever cannot
prevail upon himself to approve
from the bottom of his heart the
sinking Of the Lusitania, whoever
cannot conquer his sense of the
gigantic cruelty to unnumbered per-
fectly innocent victims and give
himself up to honest delight at this
victorious exploit of German de-
fens.ve power, him We Judge to be
10 true German.
Such are the expressions of this
anthology of the sayings of thu
Haeckels and Euckens and Lehmanns
and Baumgartens and other consum-
mate apostles of Teutonic "Kultur."
All of which reminds US of how much
better off we are than was Job. He
wished that his adversary had written
a book. Ours has.

Company
Another edition Of this luminous
work is timely for American reading,
as the original publication of the let
tors and other writings which 1t con-
tains was timely unto salvation for the
British nation. Lord Northcliffe has
been so much a storm centre of contro-
vcrsy that the value Of his services to
his country and to the world is not as
universally recognized as il should be.
Readers Of this volume viii, however,
quickly perceive how clear has been his
view Of the war and of the necessities
of victory. and of how great value his
counsel will be in our own land.
In this volume we have his discrlmi-
mating observations from many points
Of view, both bclligerent and neutral;
keen character studies Of Hang, Johre
and Cadorna; n consideration OF the
services of the Red Cross, and all the
varied gleanings Of peculiarly alert
ard earnest mind during months OF
perscnal investigation all the way from
the North Sea 10 the Adriatlc. LORD
NorthclifTes voice is one Of the most
authoritative in all England, and 1t IS
one to which America, now allied with
England in the war for humanity, VIII

is one Of the most extraordinary that
any novelist ever conceived and one
OF the most impossible. unless we re-

Quite apart from the mystery, the

OF writing detective stories there

lament that fact so long as the output
is of the quality of these annals Of

some Of the achievements Of that eX-

though we do not care 20 undertake
demonstration OF that fact We do
know that they are all so plausible in
their triumphant ingenuity as to make
US ignore the boundary between the
real and the unreal, the possible and

Beside the gripping and irresistible
fascination of the detective work and
its dramatic scenes, the stories -for
the volume contains a dozen-are in
