Apocalypse
A Thrilling Vision of the War
Through Spanish Eyes

TIIE -FOUR HORSEMEN or 1HE Aro' Al WISE.
BY Ylcome Bia;co Ibanez.. Transiated by Cha
lott. Brewster Jordan LIMO. pp. is9 L. l.
button x Co.
We are always inclined, whenever i is
possible to do so conscientously to vel
come and commend Spanish literature,
and particularly Spanish romances'
partly because Of the wealth of literary
and artistic genius which Spain pos
sesses and partly because Spanish ro-
mances are so different in style from
those Of English and French literature
Strange as 1t may seem. they nave a
striking resemblance to the best Slavic
works. to the masterpieces of Turge-
nieF and Tolstoy and Sienkiewicz.
Such IS the masterpiece before US.
1t is epic in scope. 1t Is encyclopedia &c
in detail 1t is not content with q mere
succession of episodes in plot" 1t
deals with a thousand cross currents
system. Yet with all its vast compre-
hensiveness it is microscopic in its
analysis of individuals and Of details.
We scarcely know whether it is tragedy
or comedy, metaphysics or ethnology,
for it is all of them and many more
in all their varying phases. Withal. 1t
is in every page instinct with lndescrib-
able fascination.
To one salient feature we must call
attention., among many of comparable
interest 1t is Spanish romance,
written from the Spanish point of view
Of the war, which is a detached and
neutral point. But we have read no
French, English or American work
which so mordantly and remorselessly ly
set forth the Internal spirit of the
Huns in pillory from which it Will
not easily be taken down. Thus the
chief German character declares:
We are not making war in order
to punish the Serbian regicides. We
wish to wage it because we are the
first people of the earth. and should
extend our activity over the entire
planet We are going to
take our place as the powerful Mis-
tress Of the world. We are
the only free people on earth.
We have the liberty best suited to a
great people-economic and intel
lcctual liberty. Only deca-
dent and ungovernable people. in
ferior races anxious for equality and
democratic confusion, talk about po-
litical liberty. We Germans do not
need it. We wish to be COM
manded by those of superior birth.
Such is the Spanish portraiture Of
the German mind. for which we thank
the Spanish genius who has here exc
cuted it. AS for the battle scenes, they
are unquotable. You cannot snip a
sample from the corner OF a Raphael
or Turner. Nowhere have we read
more tremendous transcriptions of hell
than in these pages, which hold 3
spellbound with nameless horror
until the tortured soul shrieks at is
enough, enough. - And the bereft
woman of Villeblanche responds. at
could not 60 on. God does not die -
Predictions are rash, we know. But we
are rash enough to venture this. that

is picturesque and beautiful, and the
lew characters are we'll defined and
sympathetic. The plot deals with two
modern lovers who are obsessed by
the jealous ghost Of an arrogant and
caprclous beauty of a ormer gener-
alton with whom the present lover was
4pDa~o 7tly entangled in a former in
carnatlon. The spectral episodes are
admirably conceived and executed, and
II there is IL them what the author
would call an "ineluctable" reminis-
cence OF Bulwer we can readily for
give 1t. There can be no hlgher praise
Of d ghost story than TO say that it
reminds US of the finest and greatest
ghost story ever written.
The chief fault Of tie story. in con-
structlon, Is in the ending, which is
regrettably weak and commonplace
He was wise preceptor who said that
end should be written first, and then
the story should be made to work up
to that climax. SO thrilling and
dramatic romance should close with
scene of transcendent power, or
with convincing logic; after the manner
OF Bulwer's "Haunters and Haunted"
or Turgenieff's matchless "Visions.'
But this one undenoably "tapers off"
IN lame and impotent manner.
Nor is the author altogether free
from the mannerisms and errors of
speech which so eXtravagantly marred

"rose-red hair" is surely a weird exag-
geration, AID how the folds of cur

nation. Seeing that there are commonl y
supposed to be seven colors in the
solar spectrum, reference TO the sixth
color" as one would speak of sixth
sense or fourth dmension," does not
well impress us. We can see no good
reason for persistently and ostenta
tiously calling the universally familiar
spindle-tree by is scientific and quite
unfamiliar name of Euonymus, any
more than for calling box Buxus, or
yew Taxus. AS for "pringlingS,' that
IS surely as papably portmanteau
word as any in Wonderland. The
frequent use of such words as "re-
percusslon," "inelucta BILE" and the like
instead of simpler synonymes is an
other blemsh, not so marked as in her
earlier works, but still at times un-
pleasantly conspicuous.
