MORE THAN A HUMORIST

A letter by Mark Twain has just come
to light which is of unusual interest in
connection with the recently published
statement regarding the anonymous publi-
cation of his book Joan of Are" The
letter has been found in the files of his
publishers, Harper Bros, who are this
year celebrating their centennial. Mark
Twain wrote:
Throughout all the months I was en-
gagged on this work | was filed with the
one thought was to be the means of
winning me a new place in the world of
letters Before the Harpers began the
serial publication of the story an idea
struck me hard-the name Mark Twain
was the trouble The critics were certain
to see nothing but humor in the story If
it came out with that fateful name tagged
to it.
Convinced of this. called on the Har-
pers and gave them my views of the case.
We wrangled over it for hours but in the
end l had my way and they consented re-
luctantly to publish the story anonymously.

The critics nearly worried themselves into
nervous prostration, and maybe | didn't
get my revenge! | let them speculate and
chatter for nearly two years as to the
authorship of the Personal Recollections
of Joan OF Are before I printed a card in
Harper's informing them that Mark Twain
had written It.
"And did any of these literary highbrows
suggest in all their rawlings that it was a
book of humor? Well, | guess not! Mark
Twain at last stood for something more
than mere tomfooery."

INVENTOR OF ESPERANTO

To the Edtor OF inc ErfHhg LcdCcr'
Sir--The death of Dr l.. Zamenhof, au-
thor of Esperanto, lately reported in your
esteemed evening paper, must have been
shock to all admirers and students of TINS
remarkable mans eminent lfewOrk one
of them hcgS leave to submit n few addi-
tional remarks concerning the man and his
work
great thinker and lingust Doctor Zam-
enhOf observed how often the difference of
language creates not only misunderStand-
ings but also bad feeling and even hatred
among people: at the same time he realized
that many of us can neither afford the
means nor the years required for a thorough
study of even the easier languages, not TO
speak of the Slavic or oriental ones.
So he set himself to work and created
from the roots of most European languages
a new "auXiliary" tongue to which he gave
regular grammatical rules; but he sim
plifed them SO much that Esperanto can
be learned in less than quarter of the
time necessary to achieve anything in the
study of even the easiest of our modern lam
guages.
1t has been introduced in some schools
of France and Germany as a foundation
language, supersedng the Latin. Among
the cultured people of our own country
many clubs were started, conventions were
called, speeches made and plays enacted
successfully in Esperanto.
This, of course was before the world war.
After its inevitable conclusion. such an
easy mode of expression will be more
needed than ever before to cement anew
the broken links of nations
Last, not least, there is obvious cem-
mercial value in Esperanto, which no wide
awake business man can afford to over
look The Japs have grasped the idea
from the very beginning Are we going
to lag behind? Esperanto clubs or classes
should spring up in every community. They
would be the more fitting monument to
the memory of the man who devoted more
than half a lifetime to the task of creating
and perfecting this auxiliary language,
meant to he one of the most efficient means
toward harmonizing national discords and
bringing nearer to us the goal of each good
man and woman in every nation-the goal
of one united human brotherhood!
