despite his final lapse, and for sIight
little Daphne, we cannot avoid an ear
nest affection.
That the story is altogether convincc-
ing we cannot confidently say. 1t IS
true TO some phases of life. II deals
with a major problem Of domestic and
social ethics without being essentially
a problem novel. Despite its two gen
erations of defiance Of convention, and
indeed. defiance Of the moral law, 1t IS
not prurient or unclean. Yet the ques-
ton will irresistibly arise IN many
minds, Why would not Gyp divorce the
unspeakable Fiorsen and marry sum
merhay? Religious scruples were not
in the way, for she had none. Doubt
less she shrank from the publicity and
scandal; yet she welcomed the greater
publicity and scandal Of an adulterous
union. There is left the supposition
that she dreaded marriage, as fatal TO
love; which we must ineXorably deny
and condemn as the most monstrous OF
errors. In that feature lies the weak
ness of book which, despite that blem-
ish, must take high rank amid the lit
erature of the year.

DIR Stoddard's book is another ex-
Qualification Of the mischief Of half
truths. Generally speaking, what ne
saws about the states OF minds OF the
European countries at the oeglnnlh z
Of the war and az the present time IS
quite true, though in some places ne IS
surely in error. But i IS not al mat
is true. The view which nc takes is
martial, and il is, consciously or un-
consciously, but most obviously, e Ter
man rather than an American or neu-
trail view. The result is that he does
grave Injustice 20 some Of the nations
particularly to Great Britain, BEGUN
and Russia.
T. is true. as he reminds Us at the
beginning. that Just before the out
break Of the war a state of unrest, pre-
saying catastrophe, prevailed in prac-
tically all the countries OF Europe. But
the supremely significant fact, when
he fails 70 point out as such, was and
il that in every other country save Ger
many and Austria Hungary the unrest
was purely domestic. IL may nave
threatened internal cataclysms: II pre-
scented no menace whatever 70 the out
side world. In the Central Empire,
alone the unrest was directed outward
". and was marked with menace 20
other nations The author should nave
made that fact patent, instead OF DIS
missing so curtly and contemptuously
"the story OF events leading up 70 the
Great War" Any attempt 20 analyze
the present state OF mind, not 20 men
ton that of 1914. without in the full
est manner taking account Of The
moves in the diplomatic game and
"the varied setting of the historic back
ground" is worse than futile.
The citations Of authorities are nu-
merous, but not altogether comprehen-
sive. The author has made quotations
calculated 70 illustrate and 70 vindlcate
his own preconceived notions. Indeed
the entire work is more piece OF spe'
cial pleading than an open-minded at
tempt 70 investigate and 10 disclose i'm
partial truth. As such IL has its value
but as such it cannot be esteemed the
ultimate authority on the European
state Of mind.

With the time only two weeks

Bean of the T. r, &, p. company
sent word to the city hall Wednes-
day that he would be glad to con-

sion basis, or whether he wants to
effect transfer arrangement, was
not indicated. A committee will
be appointed Thursday.
When the new line was first
preached, the T. r. e p. company
utterly refused to have anything
to do with 1t unless a transfer ar
rangement could be effected on
which the city would get only one
cent on each transfer passenger.
The city could not make expenses
on this basis and refused.

idea that no transfers will be is

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept. 12.--
Unless an agreement is reached
this afternoon between striking
carmen and the company, sun
down will see a tieup of every in
dustry in the city and probable
proclamation of martial law by
Gov. Lowden.
The state council of defense, in
session here today, placed the
matter squarely up to the carmen
and the company and urged them
to reach an agreement before
nightfall. The committees of
both sides were to meet again this
afternoon with the council.
During the day practically
every union except the carpenters
and the printers walked out in
sympathy with the carmen. Ap-
the Illinois Watch company and
the Sangamon Meter works, which
is manufacturing meters for U. s..
battleships, refused to go to work
pending termination of the car
strike.
Three national guard regiments
stationed here were preparing to-
day to assume control.
