NEW DoRMlToRY FOR HAMPTON

Hampton, Va, July--The Rev. DIR.
James E.. Gregg, principal of Hampton
Institute, in laying the cornerstone of
the first Kennedy Dormitory for girls,
stated that the estimated cost Of the
building is $4,000; that the plans
have been prepared by Messrs. Lud-

tects, who designed the Robert c. Og-
den Auditorium; that the building is
being constructed by the Hampton In
stitute Trade School; and that the
donor is Mrs. John S. Kennedy of New
York.
Miss Ada c. Baytop, Hampton '93,
spoke on the spiritual significance of
the building and the problems which
colored women are now called upon
to face. She said:
How can the Negro woman cope
with her new problems? How can
she adapt herself to changing condi-
tions? How can she measure up to
the new demands? There is only one
answer. 1t is Hampton-Hampton

meat are going into the garbage pals!

Finding His Soul
Mr.. Locke's Master Romance of
War Psychology

THE ROUGH ROAD. BY William J. Locke. Emo
ID. S&6. John Lane Company.
Here is a novel without a dramatic
situation. without mystery or a sur
prise, without so much as the hint of
a sex problem, and yet filled from first
to last with charm, fascination, far
surpassing that of a whole shelf full
OF books crowded with those features.
That is a fact which it would be in
teresting to have explained by some
Aippant exponent of piffle, who reckons
the value of a romance by the number
of breaches of the Seventh Command
ment which it relates, and who regards
strength and stencil as synonymes.
1t is simple tale which Mr.. Locke
relates. A boy is spoiled by a foolish
mother, who brings him up very
prince of nollycoddles. Arrived at
years of manhood, he is an insufferable
prig and Stacker. But through the in
despite some painful limitations, he
enters the army, and somewhere in
France" amid the nameless horrors of
the trenches, he finds his soul and
comes out every inch a man. Of
course there are many auxiliary char
acters and features, all set forth with
that consummate art which conceals all
art and makes itself a vivid, vital,
nervous, throbbing transcript Of nature
itself.
There have been other marvellous
analyses OF the psychology of war, but
there has been not one SURPRISING this
superb masterpiece. Apart from the
psychology, which is as deft as it is'
keen, so that the reader fails to realize
how marvellous it is until he stops to
think about it-apart from this the
tale is intensely interesting in plot
ard incident, the character drawing is
admirable, the humor and the pathos
ness Of It is above all praise Beyond
question, THE Rough Road" stands
out as one of the very greatest
romances that have been inspired by
the great war, and greater in more
respects and from more points of view
than almost any other that has come
within our ken.

was with Canadian forces before our
participation in the war, and who saw
some of the most stirring incidents of
the war in the region Of that later and

With Soldier and Parson
THE HEART OF A SOLDIER By Lauchlan Mac
lean Watt. l2mo. pp. xiv. 25S. The Georgt
Doran Company

THE HEART OF SOLDIER By Lsuchlan ISa h Mac
Doran Company
An army chaplain knows more init
mental sides of the soldier, especially
in times of war and strife, than his
lay brother. or even than himself when
he preached to them from the pulpit
in their home churches. In the words
of the author: "This is not necessarily
a parsons book, though written by a
padre. | leave others to write of bat
ties and horrors" Major Watt, Scot
tish minister, was at the different war
camps during 1914-15 and spent
months at an advanced base and in the
trenches above Armentieres and at
Ypres.
It is a thoughtful book, containing
many passages of humor and delight
fully rich in the Scottish dialect and
with stories of the men at the front,
for the men have laughter as we'll as
sorrow, laughter that does not shut
out the thought of tender and holy
things. The author speaks clearly of
the sacrifice, the fidelity and the hope
of the men at the front, where there
is no thought of creed or ritual, priest,
minister and rabbi working together,
seeing the naked souls of men revealed
in the conflict of death and life. In
speaking of the conditions after the
war Major Watt says: eve may emerge
from it stripped bare. victor only in
our nakedness, world impoverished,
shorn of the splendor of our youth
and the hope CT our manhood, yet with
honor still the precious jewel of our
soul intact"
"What the Church needs after the
war is more of the minister and friend
than the ritualistic priest--in fact, a
Christ liberated from the bookish form
and conventional ceremony"

We do not suppose that this book is
strictly autobiographical, but we con-
fldently assume that its contents are
largely drawn from the authors own
observations and experiences; for it
Is marked throughout with both the
good and the bad qualities familiar
to such an origin. Thus, it has the
admirable virtue of verisimiitude.
The characters act and talk and pre-
sumably think just as they do in real
life: On the other hand. it has the
fault OF loose construction and irrele-
vance. 1t reminds us Of photograph

paid fine attention to focusing and
lighting, but little or none to the COM

Prove to have say' His II %fy 7o1Sms s' is
dated at the beginning Of February
last, and things have happened since
then which would cause him, we think,
to make different estimate if he were
writing the book to-day. Of course,
this is no condemnation Of his history.
Such things will happen to the best
regulated historians. We have a GER
tain joyous recollection Of still more
noted writer who in the days of our
youth began a mighty History Of Re-
publican Institutions Down to the Dis
solution Of the United States" or words
to that effect. But we really cannot
recall that he ever finished it. Apo
mattox somewhat impaired the integ-
rity of his programme.
In this third volume Sir Arthur
strikes on the whole a more satisfac-
tory note than in either his first or
second. While he makes no effort to
invest this actual history with the COM
pelling charm with which he related
the romance of the White Company,
he does write with lucidity and spirit
and with fine grasp both of generall-
ties and of details. At times, too, he has
a thrilling vein of eloquence. as when
he pictures the feelings of the Ger
man leaders at the triumph of the
Somme:
Treitschke's foolish phrase, "The
Unwarlike Islanders" still fingered
in their memory. But the rulers
the men who knew-what must have
been their feelings as they gazed
upon that stupendous array, that
vision of doom, hundred miles from
wing to wing, cleaning with two
million bayonets, canopied with aero
planes, fringed with ironclad mon
sters, and backed by an artillery
which numbered it's guns by the
thousand? Kitchener lay deep in
the Orkney waves, but truly his spirit
was laundering at their gates.
Mutatis mutandis, those words NAV
be applied to the scene to-day in the
pleasant country Of Champagne.
