stories of madness and fear, but is more
subjeetively told, with more color and
feeling.
Dorothy Canheld's Tales.
Dorothy Garfield has two stories this
month that possess genuine value, The
PermisSiondire, in Golfers, and The First
Time after, in Ererybody's. Dorothy
Garfield (Mrs. Fisher) has been engaged
in war work in France for some time, and
she writes of conditions that she knows.
Her stories have truer vision than most
war fiction, in that they look past the raw
ages of war and show the human qualities
of faith and courage and hope that are
indestructibie and that recreatc hfe in
spite of war. Her stories give the feeling
that this dreadful dream of conflict will
soon pass and we shall awaken to the
sweet sanities of life again.
The First Time 4 fter shows a young
blind soldier, whose soul rebels at his
affection. But the dear, living influences
that not even war can touch, the song
OF the thrush, the supple grace Of fern
leaves, the wind among the tree tops,
teach him more truly what is life.
The Permissi0ndire is a story of deep
pathos but unconquerable hope. 1t deals
with the destruction that war has wrought,
yet with fine restraint, a delicate re
serve, far more effective than the ad zee
tival bludgeoning to which many war
stories subject us. 1t is uncolored by
hate, by literary frightfulness. 4 French
sergeant goes home on a furlongh to the
devastated district after the German rc-
treat from the Aisne. He finds his home
destroyed, his family destitute, Yet begins
again to till the fields, to tend the flowers
and to make home. We see how resili-

the furlough is ended and the soldier

shoulders his hoe instead of his gun
How symbolic of the story and of life!
Three Other Stories.

o JAMES FORD RHODES. @IStN&
Author of tie sHstor, of tie CIVIL Nar AeeLhse5:

THE award of the Pulitzer Prize Of
l. $1,000 to James Ford Rhodes for
the best work devoted to the history of the
United States published in 1917 adds one
more honor TO many that have been con-
ferred upon this scholar. The prize win
ming volume is Mr.. Rhodes's History Of
the Civil War, 1s6f-1S65.
Mr.. Rhodes was born in Cleveland,
Ohio, May l, 1913, of New England par
entage. His father, Daniel T. Rhodes,
was engaged largely in the production of
coal and iron and the railway develop
ment of the West. At the outbreak of the
civil war James Ford Rhodes was a stu
dent in the Cleveland High School, where
each morning the principal was aceus-
toned to have read aloud the political
news of the day, explaining to his pupils

and girls of America because of the admir-
alton which this people must have for
the brave nation that held off the Huns
long enough for its bigger allies to build
their wall of men and steel against the in
vaders' progress.
In america First, Miss Greene collates
three stories which will satisfy the greedy
appetite of young Americans of grammar
school age for stories of boys and girls
in touch with the war One is Boy
Scout story; one tells about youngster
with German name who took refuge
from his American school comrades under
the American flag; the third tells of a
Mexican boy who became ian American
hero"
Mr.. Charles Tenney jackson does GER
tainly know what the boys want in their
stories and he knows how to give it 10
them, too-in good, clean English. Jimmy
May does not have TO he introduced to an
audience of American boys; all that is
necessary is to tell them he's here In
The CGH TO the CoL0rs we get the full
chronicle of his adventures in Mexico and
Over There. It's rafting good stuff;
straight boy stuff, plenty of pep ard q
minimum of melodramatics.
Tom SHADES latest adventures carry him
into transport service-and into a German
submarine and German prison camp.

that they were living in the midst Of
events quite as important as any in the
history of Greece or Rome. The daily
readings awakened deep historical in
tercst in the mind of young Rhodes. Pro-
ficient in history and literature, he was so
little concerned with the classics and
mathematics that in 1865 he was UMPIRE
pared to pass the entrance examinations
for New York University, and became a
special student. 1t was here that he
read history far in advance of his classes
and determined to write history himself.
In 1866 and 1867 he attended the Uni
versity of Chicago. In the summer of 1867
he went to Paris and studied the political
institutions of Europe, past and pres
cnt, and acted as the occasional Paris cor
respondent of the Chicago Times From
Paris he went to Berlin, where he took
course in iron metallurgy. Subsequently

be made tour Of the iron and steel works
of western Germany, South Wales, Eng
land and Scotland. In the spring Of 1870
he joined his father in business in Cleve-
land, and in 1874 he became one Of the
firm of Rhodes e. Co., producers and COM
mission merchants of coal, iron ore and
pig iron.
But in the midst of business career his
old longings did not forsake him. He
determined to retire when he obtained
competence. Reaching this point in 1885
he gave up business.
For several years previous to this Mr..
Rhodes had been revolving in his mind q
project for treating some portion of the
history Of the United States, and had read
largely with that end in view. This now
took shape. He picked American history
from 1850 to 1885 as his subject. Devot-
ing two years to general reading and Eu-
ropean travel as a preparation for his
special studies he went to work. In the
fall of 1891 he moved from Cleveland to
SduiulfuSty Ihdso-, "iCic uC uplcbCu tiC
manuscript of the first two volumes of his
History of the United States from the
Compromise of 1850. They carried the
narrative to the election of Lincoln in
1860, and were published in 1892. In n
month second edition was called for and
later third
In June, 1895, the third volume, con-
tinuing the history to the spring of 1862,
was published. The fourth volume, 1862
to 1864, followed in 1899. The fifth, 1864
to 1866. appeared in 1904, and the two
concluding volumes, making a total Of
seven, came out in 1906.
Mr. Rhodes is a doctor of laws seven
times over. Western Reserve University,
Harvard, Yale, the University of Wiseon-
sin, New York University, Princeton and
the University of California have given
him this degree. Oxford University made
him doctor of literature. So did Kenyon
and Brown, in this country. He served
as president of the American Historical
Association in 1899 In 1901 the Loubat
prize was awarded to him by the Berlin
Academy of Science; in 1910 he received
the gold medal of the National Institute
of Arts and Letters; in 1913 he lectured
at Oxford on the American civil war.
On the completion of the History Of
the United States from the Compromise Of
1850 Thomas Bailey Aldrich wrote:
Il was about to say that this history is
as absorbing as a play; but l would like
to see play that is half so absorbing
The seven volume history brought re-
quests that Mr.. Rhodes tell the story of the
civil war in one volume. At first he hesi-
tated to do this, but was led to do 50 by
the lectures on America he gave at
Oxford. This history is not an abridge-
ment of the three volumes devoted to the
civil war in the larger work; in the inter-
vening years material has accumulated to
such an extent that Mr.. Rhodes was
obliged to make an entirely fresh study.
The one volume histo-, represents the con-
tinuous work of three years.

Railways today received instructions from the railroad administration to take every advantage of the usual Sunday indus trial shutdown and the forced suspen- sion Monday under the fuel economy order. to move coal to the big cOnsum- CTS centers in order to accumulate small reserves against possible emer- gencieS. If the railroad situation then improves the Monday closing order probably will be revoked.
 Railroad administration officials had under consideration the imposition Of other embargOes than those now in ef- feet officially on three eastern trunk lines. as substitute measures for the fuel economy order. Some further re strictions on acceptance of general freight may be made, it was intimated. although the principal determining fac tor will be the weather in the next few days
 Weather Still Bad
 Little hope was gathered from to- days weather. In northern New York state. it was so cold that engines stop ping to take water frOze to the tracks and it took five other locomotives to pull them loose. In West Virginia the Overfowing of streams hampered the hauling of empty cars to coal mines and the withdrawal of loads.
 The delivery of coal was reported at about the same low average Of the last week More fOOdstuffs went forward and the movement of empty cars to the west and south for shipment of corn meal products an dcOttOn was re ported considerably better.
 Four special trains of fifty cars each filled with animal and poultry feed were on their way to New Eng land today from the middlewest to re- lieve what had been reported as crit ical shortage of these commodities.

Germany Keeps Iron Hand On Strike NelUs
 Of Last FeW Weeks
Little But Censored Informa- ton Reaching Neutral Flu ropean Countries. Indicates That Harm Is Over.
sRv Review Leased wire)


 LONDON. Feb. 2-Ths German gov ernment is keeping a tight hand on news Of the strikes. which are at tended by demonstrations in Berlin and other parts. Of Germany. But from details received today through Hol- land it is learned that the situation became serious Thursday. when a considerable display of force was nee essary tO handle the mOhs which at, tackled street cars and carried out other eNceSseS in Berlin.
 For news of what trSnSpired yes terdsy the public outside of Germany is largely dependent upon a semi official report which says that -nly isolated and entirey inSigniieSnt eS, cesseS occurred that day" and that the prevailing opinion is that the strike has passed it's zenith.
 This seems to be supported by the fact that the newspapers whch were unable to appear Thursday owing 10 the Symapthy displayed by their com positOrs and preSSmen with the Strik- CTS all came out Friday. while the transport workers continue their la- b0rs.
 Working at kisl
 u is also reported that work has been resumed at Kiel DanEig and Hamburg. but it is admitted that ad- ditiOnSl miners have gone on strike at the RheniSh Westphalian coal fields
 Information from various sources sources shows. however. that tho strike in general is not over, despite the strong stand taken by the min. tary authorities who now are in con trOl The Frankfurter Zeitung says that the strike continues to extend to many other towns. while in Berlin il does not diminish. although martial law has been declared in some of the factories and the workers have been ordered ;O return by Monday under threat Of disciplinary military meas ureS.
 Government Uneasy
 The UneaSinesS of the government over the situation Is shown by it's action in placing the burden Of sup pressing the strike on the shoulders Of the military and the arrest of SO- eialist leaders. including Deputy Wal helm Dittlan. whose detention. ac, cording to one disps,ch. has caused profound irritation in socialist cir eles. A national demonstration Of pro test is being OrgsnEed.
 The social paper VOrwaertS advO- cateS calling a meeting Of the reich stag. and declares thSt the govern ment must take notice of the diScOD- tent. which. it says. Is a struggle be- tween the pan-GermanS and the ad- vCcateS Of peace by understandings. adding:
 The social democratic party must least of all desire that the movement should lead to a process of diSinte- grafton and civil war"
