made public by the Post Office Depart

make the lives of the boys over

Throughout the country many
mothers and relatives of boys at tho

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Thursday, May 23.-The
American dead sleeping in the soil of
France will receive the homage of
the American Army on Memorial day.
Many of those who have given their
lives for their country are buried in
graves over which shells and bullets
are flying close to where they fell.
But wherever they are resting. their
comrades will bear them in mind and
pay tribute to their memory.
To many Americans now fighting in
France Memorial day heretofore sim
ply has meant a holiday. In vague
way they appreciated the meaning OF
the decoration of graves by the sur
vivors of civil war days but now
they regard Memorial day in diff
ferent light, for it means honoring
the memoryaof men they have known,
bunked with and fought with.

There are three common criteria of
hctlon-the plot, the action and the
style. We have novelists who excel in
one or two of these respects and who
fail in the other two or one. In tho
case of Miss Dell, it is pleasure to
testify that she always meets two of
the criteria IN manner which must be
satisfactory to all reasonable readers,
ana that her manner of meeting the
third and by far the most exacting and
controversial OF the three is always
VOID of offence and generally pleasing
10 !he vast majority of readers and
Is always good. She knows how to
write English. The action-the success
SION and combination Of incidents COM
posing the story-is invariably full OF
sustained interest. AS for the third
point, the plot, it is generally based
upon the eternal triangle" but in a
way that is at once fascinating and
lree from merely prurient suggestion
1reatheart" is not as strong in
physical violence as was Miss Dell's
superb "Hundredth Chance" but it is
more sympathetic and more beautiful.
ana we should say that it is likelv to
be more widely popular. Certainly it
IS we'll worthy to rank with it in lit
e1ary excellence, and that means that it
outranks three -fourths of the profes-
sedly first class fiction of the day. 1t is
tale which duplicates an unusually
large number OF important characters.
Chlet among them is lovely. un-

ruin OF women who are fools enough to
be deluded by them, and the other a
physical weakling whose mind and soul
we'll merit the application to him Of
the title of the book. 1t is a work of
dramatic power and of absorbing hu-
man interest, which will add to the en-
vlab.e reputation of its gifted write.

Shandygaff is not necessarily bitter

Count Paul Vassili has long been
known as a vivacious and sometimes
accurate chronicler of doings at Eu-
ropean courts, and in his present theme
be has an opportunity to exercise
every phase of his multiform talents in
the highest degree. Whether all his
revelations" are susceptible of veri-
fication may be matter of question.
At any rate, they are all quite plausible,
and many Of them we know from col
lateral confederation to be entirely
true. With the summing up we must
all agree, where, in speaking of the
Romanotfs, he says: "Perhaps it was a
just punishment for the ruthless
cruelty of some of them that the
glories Of their race came to An end
and perished. together with all the ira
ditions that had surrounded them, be-
cause of the follies, sins, mistakes,
blunderings, iniquities and indecisions
