What is the purpose of an essay, par

display the intellectual nimbleness and
paradoxical ingenuity of the author!
Or is it 70 cultivate and to convince the
mind Of the reader? II il be the for

production. It's pages glitter, sparkle,
coruscate, until We picture to ourselves
the author as juggler, tossing not
balls nor platters, but dozen eXpiod-
ing catharine wheels into the air at
once. He lambasts the publishers
fays the critics of pornQgranhy, pro-
pounds a thousand principles which no.
body himself least of all-could ever
believe, and withal gives us occasional
flashes of the purest reason; the net
result being that the reader is amused
entertained, irritated, exasperated, de-
lighted, and almost everything else ex-
cept convinced.
Mr.. Huneker's essays, if so we may
cell them, are no less sptlSnIIy than
Mr.. BENEFITS, but they are we say it
without parsdoxieal intent-far more
serious. They have, that is TO say, the
serious purpose not Of exploiting the
author. but Of convincing the reader.
In that they do not always succeed. but
at least they invariably persuade the
reader that they were written for his
sake. to present to him certain signf-

There appear Mt first to be two car
dinal and coordinate problems IN MI
Churchill's powerful romance, but IN
the end we realize that there ~ ohiy
one. The problem OF the reiationsn'p
between labor and capital does indeed
figure very largely. In no work OF nc
ton, taking it AS its chiet motive
have we found il more masteriuiiy
dealt with. The moving panorama
which is not merely living scene, but
also u keen and searching analysis

great strike, the SyndIcalist agitation
and the eliminating tragedies, has

power. Yet gigantic as is this prob

nothing but bit Of side-play, nuxlliar
TO the greater and older and more per-
picking problem Of the control OF hu-
manity's sexual passions.
In stating and deliberately working
out 10 its conclusion this age-old PROB

not novel figure or novel situation

are in the same pot. but they do not
melt, they do not blend. Teuton and
Magyar, Ruman and Slav are as dis
tinctly separate and often as antago-
nistic to-day as they were before they
were tumbled into the Habsburg cru
chile. Explosion is more probable than
fusion.
This circumstance, however. adds TO
rather than detracts from the interest
of that strange realm TO the world; an
interest which is catered to most &C
ceptably by DR.. Won Schierbrand in the
present work. Indeed, some Of the most
interesting passages in the wholly in
teresting book are devoted to its ex-
ploitation:
These Croatians and Southern
Slavs bear the Magyars inveterate
hatred, while they feel but luke
warm dislike for the Teuton.
Whereas. the Czechs hate the Ger
mans like poison, and most of all the
Austrian Germans. Between
Magyar and Teuton there is like
wise an impossible gulf.
The author quotes an Hungarian Off
GER Of hussars as saying to him, after
the fighting in the Carpathians in
1915: "Of the two. the Austrian and
the Russian, ] much prefer the Rus
sisn." And Bavarian officer whom he
met in Vienna year ago said: "The
Hungarisns Why, they seem worse
than the Serbisns. Nice allies
those. They hate the Austrians SO
bad that they even transfer the feel,
ing 20 us as their near kindred And
this hatred. adds the author, is recipro-
Gated by the Austrians. With all this,
however, there was a remarkable con-
solidation of rival races when the war
broke out.
But perhaps the most suggestive feat
ure of this volume ia the explanation
Of the relationship between Austria
Hungary and Germany. IL amounts, IN
brief. to this that it would be suicide
for the former 10 leave the latter be
fore the erd of the war. and that after
the war the Dual Realm will continue
TO be subserVtent 10 Germany, even as
il is to-day. DR.. Won Schierbrsnd mas
set forth the resason of this most CON
vincinrly in book which is written
sympathetically though without bias
and which is one of the most inform
ing upon the general subject OF the

Of our own day, listen. Therefore,
when c. E. Montague's novel THE

are asked to scan the prose, to listen
TO the reading of given paragraph
and to say if we ever heard such a
dancing OF dactyls. and tripping OF
trochees, and ruthless absence or
lambs and ease. Kept up, says Mr..
Scott, such a style would have an eff

A certain humility in writers is
deemed by this critic a reassurlng
sign, for he can point to conspicuous
names as examples of arrested growth,

deepest emotion. 1T is love OF

Judged by Mr.. Williams's definition
Of them as linen who have had den.
mite influence on thought or action,
there can be no question Of Ii Hung
chang's abundant title TO place
among the makers Of the nineteenth
century. Indeed. there are few on the
list of eleven better entitled TO II than
he. After Lincoln. Gambetta, Delane
and Spencer, who? Some not all
of the others may have been greater
men. but that they exerted a greater
influence than he is by no means GER
tain. Fthically we must regard him
with reprobation, and cordially sympa-
thize with Gordon, when he chased IL
around the walls Of Soochow, pistol
in hand. to slay him for his treacher-
GUS murder of the Wangs. Liar, thief,
murderer, in the nth degree, he surely
was. on occasion. Yet he commanded
the respect and much Of the confidence
of diplomats and statesmen the world
over: even of those-like Grant
whose characters were in the respects
named most Numerically opposed TO
his.
In writing authoritatively Of this
strange man MIR. Bland nothing ex-
tenuates, nor aught sets down IN
malice. Indeed. there is often less Of
feeling in the book, either Of praise
or blame, than we might wish there
to be. In general, the narrative -
cold and matter-of fact. That makes
it less interesting reading, though
perhaps it increases the value of the
book as an impartial authority. It
discloses most instructively the com
plex character of the great Chinese;
his strength and his weakness; hii
achievements and his failures; and It
leaves no doubt in the mind Of the
reader that Ii was not only the great
est man in China in his day, but also
one of the commanding figures of the
whole world He was the last great
Chinese of the old regime. After him,

and characters are sufficient to arouse
and TO hold the most intense interest
when they are marshalled by master
hand. We have known them all before,
not only in fiction but IN fact-the
"decayed gentleman" father, chng,ng
fondly TO traditions of former great
ness; the ambitious daughter, moved
by impulses which she herself does
not understand, and strangely com
poundcd of strength and weakness; the
selfish. autocratic employer, sacrificing
10 business success that which was
sweetest AID best in life; the hypo-
critical propagandist. using his preach
ments about humanity as mask for
selfish lus.; and the generous and
brave philanthropists, looking through
the tattered rags Of the flesh to the
living soul within.
There will be those who will quarrel
with Mr.. Churchill over the endingi
as we ourselves shall not. We do not
mean that we consider il the pleasant
est or the only practicable or the most
desirable ending. Wilkie Collins, IN
his New Magdalen" spirit, would have
made another solution Of the problem
Still another, at the other extreme,
would have been made by Thor as
Hardy, in the vein of Tess" But in
how many different ways do the vic
tins Of seduction find life's problem
solved? That which Mr.. Churchill has
assigned 10 Janet Bumpus is quite
true. not uncommon, and entirely con-
sistent with her character as he has
portrayed it; so that his critics will
quarrel with him on the ground of
their personal wishes, and not on that
Of what we may paradoyically but most
portinently term the truth of fiction.
If indeed the highest art be TO con
ceal art, Mr. Churchill in this volume
attalns supreme success, for he pre-
scnts and drives home with over
whoiming force more than two or three
tremendous lessons, and yet never
from the first page to the last, gives
so much as a single word or hint OF
propaganda. the result being one OF

A Different" New York Story

A ToP-FLoOR IDYL. by George Van
Schaick. Illustrated by Chase Emerson
Ismo. Up 43s. Small. Maynard Co
New York novels are too much OF
three types. One. dealing with ex-
trevagantly luxurious multi-millionaire
existence: another, reeking with the
effuyium of the East Side; the third
filled with the fantastic fakes OF
Greenwich Village" that IL not, never
was and never will be. But there are
some others, and this is one OF them.
II is story of the semi-Bohemianlsm
for lack Of better word that really
exists and that is equally decent and
picturesque; a story full of genuine
human feeling, Of such acts and met
dents as really do occur. and Of the
talk that people really do utter.
And by the way, seeing that we
too often have to complain OF mlsh'
illustrations. it is pleasant to TESTIFY
that the pictures in this book are IN
perfect accord with the text, and nave
all the appealing charm of actual
scenes from real life.

When the poet put the question And

wonder if the answer he had IN mind
was "A real humorist" Ideas of humor
differ tremendously. whats one

rock with laughter will bring yawning
tears to the bored eyes of another.
Therefore, it is difficult to recommend
work of humor, and yet, Mr. Burke
has written really funny book-onee

Edith wherp. limo. pp. 3e5. Tho John Lane
Company
As story, this is uncommonly dis
nal and depressing. There is scarcely
a touch of light or Joy in it from the
first page 10 the last. In that respect,
however, it may not be untrue TO life,
for there is much reason to believe
that Chinese life contains much that is
sordid, gloomy and tragic. But as a
study OF the Chinese temperament, and
particularly of Chinese religious ia
naticism, il is admirable. The author
acknowledges her indebtedness to some
OF the very highest authorities on such
matters, and we can testify that she
has made most judicious and inteili-
gent use Of their information.
