TILED TO EMBROIL u. S.
Disclosures of Foe Attempts to
Bring War With Mexico.
Object Was to Prevent American Ex
portation of Munitions To
Aid Allies.

San Francisco, Jan. 10.-Startling
disclosures of alleged attempts to en-
0roil the United States and Mexico in
open warfare in an effort to prevent
expectation from this country of arms
and ammunition to allied powers, and

defendants charged with violation of
neutrality came. at the trial here of 81
persons charged with fOmenting revO-
luton against British rule in India.
Revelations Made at Trial.
The revelations came in the testi-
mony of George w. Hartz in the Unit
ed States district court, who said he
was an operative in the bureau Of in
vestigation of the Department of JUS
tee. HartZ testified that he had gain
ed the confidence of several of the de-
sendants in 1916 and had been told of
various plans by which the "Ghar"
(revOultiOn) party hoped to further
its object of weakening the British
military forces. Hartz had been asked
20 participate in executing some of
.hese plans, he said.
Connection between the party and
society which formerly published the
New American Independent in San
Francisco was established by Hartz.
This magazine was dedicated to the
cause of winning the war for Germany
and was formerly edited by Daniel
O'Connell, an attorney now under SEN
tence of seven years imprisonment for
violating the espionage act and for
2onspiring to hamper the operation of
the selective draft law, sHartz said.

Ethel Sidgwick Lets Herself Go in "Jamesie"

along its way. Things enough happen to
no climactic end. A true love takes its
rough course to the altar. The lovers are
q gentleman's man and French maid
their romance one of the many side issues
of an enterprise which really has no
others, perhaps, except Jamesie himself,
small son of the Iveagh and Bess we
know so pleasantly in HdtchTays.
And Jamesie is simply dear little boy,
one of Miss Sidgwiek's genuine and win
some children, made as appealing as ever
she can for the purpose Of releasing her
emotions and ours against the German
undersea murderers, one Of whom finally
destroys him.
What she can do with her documents
amounts to a revelation. They are all
strictly epistolatory; she takes no liberties
there. Yet portraiture, dealing i'll some
of the eases with sub ects most elusive and
complex, could not well be richer. And
it is astonishing to see what she gets away
with when working the device through
rapid episodes. The petty possibilities,
the intervals of mail transmission and
the like are disregarded For instance,
the concerted prevention of murder and
suicide at a house party fills in time one
evening, in space one-fourth of the book.
1t is not narrated in retrospect by any one
long winded correspondent. 1t is bulle
tined as it moves with fine supposedly
fusillades of notes exchanged about the
house and grounds. And these prepos-
ferrous notes make perfectly satisfying
reading tour de force as extraordinary
as your reporter can remember.
1t has been observed that nimble wits
are wanted, a damaging observation which
must be explained at once. JGmesie is not
cryptic like the preface to The EgOist, not
Iabyrinthine like The Golden Bowl. But
it calls for as agile interference as expert
auction bridge. Only one letter states
plainly and directly what has happened.

That so much superfnessing is a merit
and not cleverness gone to seed is Sc

The best character, and the hardest to
follow, is Iveagh; one difficulty arises
from the fact that he will write his col
loquial Irish idiom- Admirable also is
his old friend du Frettay, second sur
vival from HatchwayS. \ third is his
mother, the Duchess, the most irritating
dowager meddlcr in contemporary fiction.
An arresting letter detached from the
main fabric exhibits the revulsion against
"parasitism' in a gentlewoman born and
reared to it, ard innocent of all Causes,
Movements, &c. The French maid being
respectively provincial in England is a
pleasant antidote to the familiar Briton

The sun., 1918-09-01
By HARRY ESTY DOUNcE.

TT has become the ghoulish custom of a
L bevy of amiable critics, who conceive
that their mission is stealing a march on
Fame and can only admire a living author
in terms of that authors prospects of i'm
mortality, to anticipate the deaths OF GER
tain solidly interesting rising English
novelists, one of whom is Ethel Sidgwiek.
What they mean is that Miss Sidgwick
now looms large enough for Handle With
Care to be stencilled on reviewers copies
of her books. Why not either say so and
stop or else handle the book-with care?
Here is new Sidgwick on the market
and somebody comes Juggling in George
Eliot and the Brontes" In heavens
name, why George Eliot or the Brontes in
this connection? Why not Scheherazade
and the Findlaters?
Jdmesie, loosely sequential TO Hatch
rays, shows Ethel Sidgwick feeling suf
ficiently established and cOnfidcnt-or suf-
ficientfy insouciant-to give herself n
treat and do the book as she blamed well
pleases. Whichever the feeling, the nat
ural result with a writer so manneristic is
extreme exaggeration of the mannerism.
Some of it reads like her not merely imi-
tating herself but positively writing a
parody. And Jamesie in turn would be
easy game for parodist, but unless he
had something of the spirit of the '!wor-
shippers half holiday he would cut a
sorry figure.
No epochal novel; not Miss Sidgwick's
best-though by far her most Sidgwick
ian; it iso however, thoroughly worth
while, and can be guaranteed to repay all
readers of rather more than average MIN
BILE wits.
At one technical stroke she rids her
self Of burdens under which she was al
ways FESTIVE. This stroke is a new free
use of an old and previously limiting de-
vice Jdmesie Is almost all letters, notes,
postcards, kilograms, with some comments
by the two characters who edit the collec-
ton. To their shoulders the burden of in
depreciation is shifted. Miss Sidgwick OBJ
jects to explaining things, apparently be-
cause it bores her rather than owing to
fear of insulting the readers intelligence.
AS the editorial comments are oftener
obscuring than helpful the characters
and their motives are left to make their
own way in the world.
Also, since people who correspond in
circumstances of excitement or anxiety
seldom pause for visual inpressionism
and don't describe the scenery. this docu-
mentary stratagem defeats Stevenson's
enemy. the optic nerve (Which is also
Miss Sidgwick's), in advance. You may

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program in
England. 1t is true that the English
man buys loaf Of bread for less than
an American can, but it Is poorer
bread, and the British government Is
paying $200,0OO,O00 a year toward the
cost of it.
All the grain grown in Great Brit.
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This Is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf Of four pounds
to sell at IS cents, the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at 5
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with a larger ex-,
traction, the four pound loaf sells 1oH
