The war is to be won by killing Huns.
That is an evident and fundamental
tact; But 1t by no means expresses the
whole duty of the victors, or Of those
who arc to be the victors, or the full
scope of the work which they are now
engaged III performing with an un-
precedented efficiency. While we have
one army in the trenches. destroying
life. it must not be forgotten that we
have another, no less active and de-
voted, saving and conserving life. The
glory of the boys in khaki is writ large
muniqu6s. but the glory of those who
wear the Red Cross badge is inscribed
in the hearts of a grateful people and
on the face of land that is being
redeemed from the pestilcntial pres
ence of the Hun.
Lieutenant Dawson is a red blooded
fighter. but he is also a man of gcntlest
humanity, of tenderest sympathy, and
OF spiritual vision. 1t is congenal
task for him to tell Of the vast works
of mercy and rehabilitation which
amid it all the white-hot wrath of
Righteousness blazes out with scathing
fury. Even when merely contemplating
the wilful destruction of apple or
chards he cries aloud: "The wilful
wickedness and pettiness of the crime
stir ones heart to pity and his soul
to white-hot anger. The people who
did this must make payment in more
than money; to settle such debt blood
is required" And when he sees the
unspeakable desolation which the Huns
have wrought upon the lives of women
and children, he adds: when I was
in the trenches I never had any hatred
of the Boche. Probably I shall lose
my hatred in Pity for him when get
to the front again-but for the present
hate him. It's here in France that
one sees what vilcness he has created
in the children's and women's lives"
1t is splendid revelation of the
constructive work which America is
doing in France, as we'll as the de-
structive work which she is doing
against the Hun, and the reading of it
will inspire Americans with fercer
hatred of the Blond Beast, deeper
Pity for its victims. and truer con-
ception of the noble work which this
country is doing in and for its sister
republic.

A Belgian Singer

AnSs1SEs mssl,s AND Fo,,t OTHER POEMS BY Emile Cam
pany. ~ ~ W
How can Belgian sing? Or shall
we ask, how can he keep from singing g?
Caesar declared the Belgians to be the
bravest of all the tribes of Gaul At
any rate, the horror and the desolation
or the war have not silenced this one
death and notes of victory over the
hunnlsh conqueror. Perhaps the best
OF all are the. grimly glorious notes of
guns. which destroy Belgian cities and
Belgian lives that in so doing they may
annihilate the Beast that has made
belgium his prey. That is the spirit of
the name-poem and of others in the
collection, and it is one of the loftiest
that the war has evoked. The poems
are printed in the original French, with
admirably sympathetic and interpretive
and yet literal translations by the
authors gifted wife.

One might say with Ivan Tourgencfr,
i call that cheeky!" at Nh. Means's
performance in using his own name in
stead of title for his book OF
course, as the jacket reminds us, that is
the way in which we sometimes in
scribe the works of Esop and Shake
speare and Dante and Milton and
others of them litcry felcrs' But
is a mere writer Of negro dialect
stories to be thus reckoncd among the
elect?
We shall see. Our present impress
SION is that he stands good chance
OF 1T: For surely these chronicles Of
Il.Nall, of Skeeter Butts and Vine
gar Ats and their compeers became
classic IN the very moment of their in
cep1ion; Portrayals of post-belum
negro life in the South we have had
galore. good. bad and Indifferent But
1hesc sketches are something more
they are the actual life itself. You
can hear the darkcys sing and laugh
ana sometimes weep. You can see their
races and their actions as clearly as
lhoCgh you were at the door of the
Hi,o" Tly Church or the Hen Scratch
saloon
SO we are inclined to think that Mr..
Means will rank primus inter pares
among those who have most perfectly
preserved in literature memorials of a
life which is now swiftly vanishing or
being TRANSFORMED. He has given US
Its humor and its pathos and it's in
lmltable picturesqueness, without carl
cature and without malice, as scarcely
any other writer has done. and he has
so admirably balanced matter and man.
ner that the reader never thinks that
he is telling the story for the sake of
the dialect, or that he is using the da-
lect for the sake Of the story. The dia-
lect would be perfect if there were no
stories at all, and the stories would be
irresistibly entertaining if there were
no dialect at all. The union of dra-
matte tale and lifelike dialect is the
supreme triumph of master of the

A Girl Of The Quarter

MINI. By t. Giesy- limo, pp SIS. Harper
Bros.
The motive of this little romance is
so exquisite that we are constrained to
forgive its faults of detail. We must
doubt the accuracy of its pictures of
the Latin Quarter at this time. They
might have been correct in Trilby's
time, but that was years ago. Nor are
we persuaded of the accuracy Of the
speech which is attributed to the char
acters. As for the transformation of
character produced by the war-well.
yes! We are willing to accept that as
possible, extraordinary as it seems.
Apart from these things, however,
which are not of the first magnitude
the book is thoroughly charming, in
tensely sympathetic and instinct with
high inspiration Briefly, it is the tale

Armenia must stand. and will for all
time, as one of the three martyr ma
tions of the great war. In one re-
spect, indeed, it has been more of q
martyr than any other. Serbia was
used as a pretext for the war, and
Belgium was used as an avenue of at
tack upon France, but Armenia was
gratuitously sacrificed by the Huns
to the passions of the unspeakable
Turk. One of these days it will be
abundantly avenged; in preparation
for which righteous achievement it is
we'll for the world to be reminded Of
its history. Mr.. Gabrielian meets this
need in satisfactory manner in this
volume, giving us a most informing
history of Armenia from the earliest
times to the present; work which
may be confidently accepted as a
standard history of the Armenian ma
ton.
