Burlesque Sleuthinq

PlliID GUBB: CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL.
DEIECTIEE. by Ellis Parker Butler. Illus
pany.
The authors name is sufficient as
surance that this volume is full of fun.
1t is spontaneous, rollicking, irresisti-
Bile fun, which provokes uproarious
laughter and leaves no bad sensation
behind. 1t might be supposed that the
volume was intended as burlesque Of
Sherlock Holmes, but it seems to us
entirely too original for that. Rather
is it burlesque upon detective stories
in general, and ah hsuch it is admirable
above expression. The various advent
ures OF the redoubtable Cubb are
marked with a consistency and coher-
ence not always found in such series,
and at no point is the unctuous humor
permitted to go stale. 1t is book Of
thousand laughs

discriminating observer, and he has
the precious faculty of not merely de-
scribing in interesting fashion the
clear their significance. He was an
eyewitness of that Dardanelles Gal
lipoli campaign, which has been the
theme of so much controversy, and Of
the Armenian deportations which the
Turks committed at the Indictment of
the Germans, and which added a new
and unsurpassed chapter to the history
of internal horrors. The volume is from,
beginning to end of intense interest,
and of high value, as straightfor-

Are we to have a cycle of illegiti-

eral much exploited novels have ap-.
reared with the illegitimate birth of
their chief characters as the leading
mctives," if not, indeed, their reasons

the gifted pen OF the romanccr of
Pennsylvania Dutch. This, however, is
different from the others. In them the
fact of birth out of wedlock was the
important thing. In Mrs. Martins
feslk-epie it isa incidental, and there is,
that has been ;ndulged in by other
writer's.

dictory. For this reason this highly
authoritative work by a Senator of the
Rumanlan Parliament is much to be
welcomed and is peculiarly timely now
that the surrender Of Bulgaria opens
new era in the Balkans, in which the
rehabilitation of the Danube kingdom
is assured
The causes Of Rumania's collapse, as
convincingiy set forth by Mr.. Negu-
lesco, We're chiefly three. The least Of
them, perhaps, was that of faulty war
plans in invading AUSTRIA Hungary
instead Of remaining on the defensive
against that power and attacking Bull
garia. Another was the lack of prep
aration, both material and moral. an
error for which we of all nations, can
not chide her, seeing how great was
our own identical error. The third
was the hostility and treachery of
Russia. which, so far as the imperial
government was concerned, arose from
the jealousy. humiliation and resent
ment which were felt forty years ago
when Russia had to beg Rumana to
save her--even to save her Car and
his armies-from the conquerinr
Turks.
The volume makes very clear, in
deed, the circumstances which led to
Rumania's entry into the war and the
causes and manner of her disastrous
defeat and compulsion to the Infamous
treaty of Bucharest. 1t also gives
such an account of the Rumanian pcv-
pie and their land as must assure the
reader of the inevitable coming re-
nascence of that country and its secure
establishment among the important
nations Of the world

In Essen II was proposed to establish
at once Russian Bolshevisms In Germany,
and to begin by seizing the Rhenish
Westphalian Gazette which paper has
made itself especially obnoxious TO the
people by fighting the cause of the war
contractors. Though a majority ex.
pressed itself against such breach or
law, several hundred Spartacides pro-
ceeded to the newspaper building, ac-
cumulating large crowds en- route,
Entrance being denied. the mob broke
the barrlcades Of the doors and invaded
all parts of the uldirg, driving the
employees from the composing and edt-
torial rooms and destroying some ma
chinery. The black white ard red flag
was removed from the building and re-
placed by the red fsE. There was some
shooting. some employees being slightl"
wounded.
Lenders Address Rioters
The leaders of the riot addressed the
people from balcony. They declared
that the seizure Of the newspaper was
only the beginning of a great work OF
revolution. The rioters then took pos
sion OF the Wolf News Agency IN the
same building and sent out press tele-
gram TO he effect that the Spartacides
intended to continue the Rhenish West
phalian Gazette as a peoples organ.
Some loS.ai Soldiers AID Wo ~kers'
Councils. too, have committed eXcesses
against newspapers in various cities
lately which closely resemble sparta
cism. In Halle they invaded the of'ic"
of the Halle zeitunE, preventing its pub
lication for several days because the
paper refused TO be dictated to. For
similar reasons, the Dusseldorfer Mach
richten was placed under censorship by
the local Soldiers and Workers Council
, yesterday.
The Berlin authorities have notified
these councils that they must desist
from all Interference with newspapers
In Prague the Czechish Sobols vie
with the Spartacides. They have just
suppressed three German nCwspapers-
Bohemia. the Prager Tagblatt and the
Morgen Post-in true Bolshevlst style.
The revolution Is constantly propa-
eating itself. sometimes in the most alb
| surd ard unexpected manner.
! For instance. there Is a council OF
high school pupils which. though sane
toned by the Government. has no ex-
I ecutive power. but is only of an ad-
visory character. 4 servant girls coun-
I ell and n garbage carriers council are
other examples. The latter went on a
strike yesterday, demanding thirty
! marks per day.
Most curious was the effect of the
revolution on the employees of the for
mer Roval Opera Hous" on Inter den
Linden. This institution was owned
by the former Prussian E'ng and sub.
sidized by him with 1900 900 marks an
nually. Baron Won Hulsen. chief d1-
rector of the opera house. as well as
of the royal playhouse. disappeared on
the first dav Of the revolution.
The revolution. too, worked havoc ir
the minds of the 500 employees Of the
opera house. most Of whom suddenly re-
vealed themselves as staunch democrats
and enthusiastic supporters Of the prin
ciple of equality. Immediately, an ar
lists council. n chorus council. a bale
council, stage hands council, a mu
sicians council and a supars' counci
formed themselves. eacn vying with the
other In impossible demands on The
