One Who Served Others

LETTERS OF A CANADIAN STRETCIIER BEAR
Err Ky r. A. l.. Edited by Anna Chapn Ray

"They also serve" who only wait on
others. Here is n brave and modest
Canadian soldier who for three years
was hospital orderly and stretcher
bearer-duties as needful as those Of
going over the top" Indeed, he was
much Of the time so directly on tho
fighting line that he shared the full
perils OF the foremost, and ultimately
fell victim to the Boohc poison gas,
though not unto death His letters are
equally valuable as portrayal of the
objective duties, dangers, labors, peris
and scenes of war, and as a revelation
of the subjunctive feelings of him who
experiences them and who meanwhile
thinks, as often as he dares, Of the wife
and children at home. 1t is a volume
exceptionally full of the quality cx-

apply to the author the epigram which
we have quoted.
AS for Ourselves, we must deny The

we have quoted.
AS for ourselves, we must deny the
soft impeachment of such credulty
That there has been and is some dis
content among German women we have
no doubt; nor have we that there are
among them some figures as capable
and as formidable as the heroine of
Mrs. Athcrton's melodramatic rhap-
sody. Also, we believe that there is
certain degree of misinformation or of
ignorance concerning the real causes
and purport of the war among the Ger
man people. But even at the Distress
ing cost of disagrceing with Mrs.
Atherton we cannot and do not believe
that the typical German frau or frau-
leln IS a transcendent superwoman,
SURPRISING all other members of her
sex, and we can not and do not believe
that there is any more possibility Of
such a feminist revolution in Germany
as that which she forecasts than there
is Of our enjoying a wholesale capture
OF larks through an incontinent de-
scent of the skies. Neither can we be
persuaded that what We may call the
nunnishncss of the Huns is due to
their benighted ignorance of the world
about them and that if only they knew
what is what they would rise wholesale
against She Kaiser and his Junkers
We believe that their blindness and
ignorance, so far as they suffer from
any, are largely conscious and wilful.
n no other way can we account. for the
1act that so many of the most Hunnsh
of the Huns arc those who unoues-
tionably do know the truth If Ger
mans who have lived for years in
America, and who know as much as any
of US know about the origin CT the
war, about the Satanism OF Prussian
mllltarlsm and about the policy and
purposes Of this country-if they arc
as stanch in their support Of the Kaiser
as any Junker in Potsdam it is sheer
folly to pretend that the slightest ink
ling Of the truth would cause the Ger
mans at home, women or men, to rise
in revolution
No: We must conclude that Mrs.
Athertor does not know her Germany.
She has written this book in vein of
fem m'nist c%altation which is purely
subjective. 1t does not cxalt nor in
spire the reader, for the reasons that
1t conveys no conviction OF truth not
even Of p1ausibility and in its palpa-
bly, artificial attempt TO make geese
seem swans it becomes more tedious
than interesting We may not DENY
it q certain ingenuity of invention. But
It's vision is not that of the open air
and the clear heavens. but rather of
the painted scenes behind the mum
mcrs' footlights. The old rhyme tells
US that
Your labor is lost and your argument
wrecked
If your major premise is incorrect.
But when both premises are fantasti-
cally faulty-"thc rest is silence"

An Epic of the Trenches

THE BROWN BRETHREN. By Patrick NiacGu
12mo, pp 2a6. The George H. Doran Company.
The Brown Brethren were British
soldiers in the trenches; some were uni
versity men, and some were costers.
All were united by the bonds Of friend
ship and of patriotism. The book tells
of their daily life, tragic, pathetic. and
humorous, with q racy vitality that we
have never seen surpassed and have
seldom seen equalled in narratives Of
the present war. There is a thread Of
sentiment and romance running through
it, and the elimination is happy. Truly,
it is an epic of the Tommies in the
trenches, entitled to an enduring place
among the classics.

This book is a new message of
beauty to modern civilization. Besides
attempting to lay the foundation for
new movement of terpsichory, Miss
Moller appears as a priestess of an
ancient yet neglected truth:-the re-
turn to nature, spontaneitv, SIM
plicity, health, grace and happiness
by means of dancing. In doing so she
goes wisely back to the fundamental
principles which are the bases of all
