New-York tribune., 1918-06-30
MANUFACTURING A GREAT LITERARY HOAX

ITO local groups the benefit of his
broad vision and clear insight on
the tangled web of European public
life"
Those were his happy days, as
may easily be inferred. But his wife
tired of washing and eloped with
French officer, saying as she fed,
THANK God, l have washed my last
shirt"
Larrovitch turned him then for
solace to philosophy, and, seizing
upon Emanuel Kant, he let the
Categorical Imperative" out of the
bag, although Mr.. Sykes doesn't say
so in bald words.
From Kant to
President Wilson
Larrovitch escaped from Kant and
even from Hegel, whom he appears
tc have anticipated in his develop
ment Of the conception Of existence
as process of becoming; outdid
Bergson in his development of the
Transcendent Will. In January,
1879, when Larrovitch was working
in the full maturity Of his powers, he
published 'The Keeper Of the Door,"
in which he predicted with uncanny
prescience the world war. A SEN
tence of that renowned work is wor-
thy of marked notice now: "Mistake
not the need" he says. Mistake it
not. For the coming empire of the
people we must make q world that
shall be safe"
In this he clearly anticipates
President Wilson's great pronounce
ment: "We must make the world
safe for democracy"
1t is no wonder that Mr.. Sykes
gives Larrovitch high place in lit
erature, calling him Supreme mas
ter of Russian thought, prophet Of
the worlds dream come true"
In offering three incidental poems
of Larrovitch to this symposium
George S. Hellman has some slight
mental reservations lest the public
mistake their deep significance.
He says some of them belong in a
class of poetry to which writer's of
many ages, from the Greeks to pres
ent day poets, have frequently con-
tributed and are of kind that might
readily come from the pen of an
Englishman or American.
In the Marching Song," which we
quote, Mr.. Hellman says Larrovitch
exercises great caution, "refraining
from references to cruelty imposed
upon political exiles" The song is
a very fine song, for all it's caution
and restraint, and probably shows
MIR. Larrovitch at his lyrical best.
SIBERIAN MARCHING SONG
We march along the Moscow road,
Fivescore adventurous men.
The North Lights glitter in our
eyes;
A continent shall be our prize.
Though cold slays five = twice
five! why then,
We march along the Moscow road,
Fourscore adventurous men.
We march along the Moscow road,
Fourscore adventurous men.
Though crows shall flock to those
that die,
And we gnaw shoe straps, you
and I,
And famine Stays again, again,
We march along the Moscow road,
A few adventurous men.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-30

Giddings declaiming with fervid
gesture, "Behold with what embroid-
cries that ear is adornedw had he
been privileged to know Larrovitch
perso nally.
Larrovitch, we learn on this first
hand authority, was a noted athlete
in his youth; he practised pugilism
and wrestling and knew the squeal-
ing grip and the cross-buttock.
For all his deep learning in
science and philosophy Larrovitch
had some of the foibles of ordinary
men. He liked to see the new moon
over his left shoulder and occasion
ally he tapped on wood-doubtle~
some of the residual traits of his
Tartar ancestry.
Mr.. Coan, who has made long
study Of divination spheres, says
I.arrovitch's crystal was the largest
and finestNhe had ever seen. Mr..
Coan not only gazed into it, but he
laid his "Munchausen callipers" on
it and found it to measure thirty
centimetres in diameter. He saw
Larrovitch using the globe of divi-
nation and heard him read a mes
sage in reference to the United
States. 1t said: cover your land a
great shadow and the shining of
arms in it; divided counsels, flames
lighted by many traitors and sobbing
stateswomen in the halls where laws
are made"
New-York tribune., 1918-06-30

Larrovitch had learned the man
ner and style of Mirabeau, but
that's neither here nor there, among
men of genius.
The great heart of Larrovitch was
stilled forever, and if the Authors
Club audience shed a furtive tear at
his dramatic taking off it disclosed
an honest emotion, and may be &C.
counted to the good in linking two
great intellectual peoples.
Larrovitch at His
Humble Beginning
McCready Sykes, who wrote the
Princeton song "Poe's Run" to COM
memorate an athletic achievement Of
that gridiron hero, who gave up his
life on French battlefield, finds lit
tie difficulty in establishing Larro-
yitch's place in literature.
1t is always interesting to learn
how a great man began his career.
George Moore, in one of his mimi
table gossipy books, tells US, when
ever he heard an American financial
or commercial celebrity talking, he
edged up close to learn the name of
the grocery store in which the
speaker got his first lob at 81 a
week.
Larrovitch wrote a few minor
pieces in his bachelorhood, but it
was not until he was married that
he found the time for long-continued
reflection and contemplation.
On this point attend to the words
Of Mr.. Sykes:
with his passionate love Of
nature, Larrovitch would spend
hours along the streams, observ-
ing aquatic phenomena, often tax
ing by nets or lines the fish for
contemplation, or perhaps bring
ing them home to help out the
plain fare that then marked the
fine simplicity of the masters
household"
In less picturesque language,
Larrovitch went fishing, and his
good wife stayed at home, where
simple duties awaited her untiring
hand. But let Mr.. Sykes tell it:
ellis wife, meanwhile, in an age
when the ideas Of commerce and
manufacturing had hardly pene-
trated the mind of Russia, was
keenly interested in all kinds of
textiles, silks, cottons, everything
of the sort. In fact, she would
accumulate from among the
neighbors during the week pan
niers or baskets of these fab
RIGS, soiled by usage or wear,
and by the application of
saponaceous agents and enthusi-
astic personal labor would work
far into the night demonstrating
the chemical reactions and cleans
ing effects of her various devices
aided by her own physical efforts" I"
Those Were the
Happy Days
For her devotion to science Mrs.
Larrovitch exacted modest homo
rarium from the owners of the gar
ments. When these practical chem
ical demonstrations were going on
Larrovitch was not always fishing.
"He would lend" says Mr.. Sykes,
New-York tribune., 1918-06-30

immortals whose existence has
been questioned. For more than
fifty years his name has been un-
known, not oss.y to the general
reader, but even to the we'll in
formed. In these rooms I have
seen the eyelash lifted at mention
of Larrovitch.
Tonight we present the evil
dences and resolve all doubts. On
that table are the relics. There is
a lock of his hair, and there are
the lock and key Of his prison. Be-
hold with what embroideries that
shirt is adorned! On yonder wall
is the portrait, with it's haunting
suggestion of features somehow
familiar.
MAY l make one small contri-
button of fact upon which / am
perhaps qualified to speak? It was
Larrovitch who discovered or in
vented the history of civilization.
He foresaw the rise and fall of
Kultur, and in discoursing of it
he anticipated Herbert Spencer's
famous definition Of cosmic evolu-
tion. 'Kultur,' said Larrovitch, lis
the integration of Hohenzollerns,
accompanied by the differentia-
tion and the segregation of ma
tions, and the concomitant dissi-
patton of Teutons.' He warned Of
impending war between Potsdam
and civilization, but also he fore
told the successful and glorious
end"
What Was Found
Beyond His Beard
Mr.. Jordan. who was the first
editor of "The Saturday Evening
Post" after its own resurrection.
the originator of "The House of
Governors" idea in legislation and is
a noted authority on education,
writing on "The Personal Side of
Larrovitch," got beyond the great
Russians beard and gained much.
He has fathered well-rounded per-
sonality, in itself an achievement.
He tells us about Larrovitch's par
entage, where he was born, of the
Nlld Tartar blood Of his father and
Of the probability of his having in
nerited his genius from the distaff
40 "his mothers people-the OLE
anskis-being among settlers who
came from Poland to Kiev in the
early years of the eighteenth CEN
tury."
Ellis mother often told him." Mr..
Jordan recounts. Remember, Feo-
dor, that your ancestor, Ivan Olan-
ski, saved the life of his King, Sig
ismund I, in 1919, as he led his
army at the Battle Of Poldo. The
fighting blood of more than ten gen.
erations Of Poles flows in your
veins.'"
Mr.. Jordan brings out the neat
point that some biographers treated
Larrovitch's father slightingly. He,
Jordan, sets the matter straight and
conducts the reader through Larro-
vitch's love affairs, his inevitable
Russian arrest, escape from Siberia
and exile in France, and lays bare
the heart Of the man down to the
death-bed scene, when, falling back
on his pillow, he murmured, when
he heard Of the assassination Of
Gear Alexander II:
"Oh, my poor, blinded country
men--oh, the folly of it and the
shame! You have put out the
light of Russia's liberty"
New-York tribune., 1918-06-30

The song, Of course, wakes recol-
lections of rousing things memorized
in comparatively recent days, but it
would be like leading ones pet camel
to the needless eye to make point
of it.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-30

imirovitch would have been more
orthographically correct than Larro-
witch, for Larrovitch is not Rus
sian name.
The excerpts from the letters of
Larrovitch, with which the volume is
plentifully garnished, are all from
the versatile pen Of Mr.. Wright, he
has now admitted, although they
suggest in their variety such writer's
as Shaw and Whistler, Tolstoy and
Maeterlinck. Here are few:
''I detest him. detest the way
he cuts his beard"
"Oh dear, if you have never
gotten beyond his beard" sighed
Maria Sergevitch, "you have lot
more to learn about him."
This has familiar classic ring.
eyes, the dead live," said Father
Sergius.
II am sure of that. We should
not mourn for them, we should re-
joice. They can be very close to
us-Love is the secret. Love gives
them life. Love brings them close
to u.s."
This quotation from "Barin!
Barin!" one Of Larrovitch's immor-
tai pieces suggests Maeterlinck's
essay LA Vie des Morts" in "Les
Debris de la Guerre":
"At last she realized that there
is no death. She was convinced
that he whom they mourned was
more than ever alive.
"The dead do not need tears but
joyous and confident affection.
Love is as necessary to them as
to the living"
But perhaps the great Belgian
stole the ideas from the great Rus
sian.
Another quotation from a letter
from Larrovitch to his publisher
reads:
"This morning I have drained
seven glasses of tea and written
seven letters. If I could contain
more tea doubtless I would write
moro letters. A drop of rum in
your tea, Ivan Georgevitch, might
increase your capacity for cor
respondence."
This delectable bit of Larrovitch
wisdom was possibly suggested to
the imagination Of Mr.. Wright by
George Bernard Shaw's essay "On
Going to Church." wherein G. B. S.
finds himself convinced that most of
the good literature Tin the publish
er's scnse) in the nineteenth GEN.
tury was written on tea.
The other extracts are equally
Russian.
Secret Disclosed
by Professor Glddlngs
Professor Giddings's "Prolego-
menon to Larrovitch" balances on
the dizzy edge of burlesque.
When fellow asked Dean Swift
to spare half a crown to bury a poet
the dean is said to have given five
shillings, with the injunction that
two poets be buried. It should have
been worth twice the price to hear
the erudite Columbia professor SOL
emnly tell the Authors Club audi
ence:
"Larrovitch, whom we honor,
enjoys the distinction of having
been brought to life. With Shake
speare and Napoleon he is Of the

Keeping the Larrovitch
Spring Unde6led

Already the nucleus for the Lar
rovitch Foundation has been Sc
cured; "and an effort is being made
to obtain for it the endowment fund
recently offered to support Larro-
witch chair at university" James
Howard Bridge has this exemplary
matter we'll in hand. He says of his
labors and the need for them:
"To some it may seem well that
the Larrovitch pathology now per-
meating the intellectual atmos-
phere and thrilling every point in
it should be left undisturbed in it's
all-pervasive activity. 1t may ap-
pear best, in lieu of some single
focus of Larrovitchian teachings,
some chair of Larrovitchian phi
losophy, that the tendency Of the
new thought to spread in ever
widening circles be left unfettered
by academic restrictions and free
to extend itself by the momentum
derived from its creator. If there
were any assurance that the Lar
rovitch system would be preserved
in it's pristine purity under these
conditions there would be obvious
advantages in multiplicity of
what, in opposition to "Larro-
witch Chair" may be called Lar
rovitch Footstools," dispersed in
colleges throughout the land. But
we have no such assurance. AL
ready heretical offshoots and schis-
matte perversions Of pathology are
discoverable in some Of our
pseudo-scientific publications.; and
these, unless checked, will rapidly
spread and become incorporated in
the thought Of the day."

Concerning the
False and True

About the name of every great
man there grows up legend. To
separate the truth from the legend,
or, as it is vulgarly named, the false,
is a task of no ordinary amplitude.
In the case of Larrovitch the task is
particularly arduous, even thankless.
Mr.. Richardson Wright undertakes
this work for Larrovitch with taut
assiduity. Mr.. Wright has his col
leagues, or conspirators, at great
disadvantage here, for he lived six
years in Siberia and Mongolia and
made a collection of Mongolian pad
locks. He even wore for a time the
shirt of Larrovitch. The busybodies,
it seems, garbled the story of the
elopement Of Larrovitch's wife.
Greatly to the good mans chagrin
Mr.. Wright separates the wheat
from the chaff in this detail and
puts the author in the proper light
for the earnest student and future
historian.
There are many tales about Lar
rovitch-one that he was volunteer
fireman in Irkutsk, another that he
was fond of children, that he was
crystal gazer, had fair for astrol-
ogy, was an excessive drinker and
was kind to animals.
An absurd conception of Larro-
witch as a good but weak man, like
Robert Louis Stevenson, is attacked
by Mr.. Wright with commendable
heat and utterly shattered.
"In his faith and infatuations,"
Mr.. Wright finds Larrovitch resem-
bles Strindberg and concludes his
we'll considered chapter by saying:
"The good and evil were mingled in
him." Surely an unique character;
if the whole truth must be told.
With all the great past represent
ed by Larrovitch, with its back
ground of inscrutable Russian mys-
ticism and red naked tragedy, there
is to-day in this country only one
living link, and that link is Titus
Munson Coan. Mr.. ,Coan knew the
man-knew him intimately; talked
with him, heard him laugh, gave him
light for his cigarette and smelled
wine on his breath.
When Mr.. Coan saunters into the
Authors Club and remarks casually.
GAS dear Larrovitch said to me one
night in a cafe in Paris" it may be
assumed there are few interruptions
until the tale is finished.
Mr.. Coan vouches for the charm
Of the Larrovitch manner. There
was no resisting that charm. 'Nei-
ther his political nor domestic trials"
says Mr.. Coan, "and they were as
bitter as those Of Socrates, had
soured him."
A sour Larrovitch is almost incon-
ceivable, for we are told his COM
plexion was tawny, his features were
square cut, he wore his hair long
and the tips Of his ears were slightly
folded downward-a reversion to
type Of some faunal or other prick
cared ancestor, Mr.. Coan thinks.
This simple, yet scientific observa-
tion on the Larrovitch ear attests the
modesty of Mr.. Coan. It is easy to
imagine the picture Of Professor
