Influence Of the Times,

Literary modes are like the modes
OF fashion. True. literature repre-.
sents the great issues occupying the
minds Of the people. Not always,
however, does 1t 80 represent the in.
terests Of the age; for example, the
romanticism Of the period following
the French revolution and periods Of
the same kind in ancient times, says
the Columbia State. The Greek thought
produced Aristotle, but Aristotle had
something to do with It himself. The
followers Of Aristotle followed the ex-
ample Of a great man.. Such fashions
have at all times been characteristic
of literature. Or take the present age.
Is the literature of the age dictated BY
zeitgeist? Only vaguely can one as
sert that it is so. With the war. how.
ever. there came in new interests and
dangers which have affected man. The
condition was made by man and one
assertion by someone brings down am
other so that while. fguratiyely, the
times may be said to be speaking, the
men are simply following a fashion.
If zeitgeist is important in determining
thought, the spirit surely was for dis
armament and peace, for such was the
spirit Of leaders Of thought. However,
other individuals thinking otherwise
had larger followings and the political
power to WELD that influence, and the
war was the result.

when one considers the number who

Of the service; and the number in
the draft contingents, is very good
indeed" DR.. Frere explained to a

DR.. Frere was appointed Postmas-
ter by President Wilson in 1917 and,
under his administration Of affairs,
the Franklin office has become a
