Current Miscellany

The George II. Doran Company has
issued a translation. made by Frank
Alvah Dearborn, OF &c Rire's" mimi
table skit. "The All Highest Goes to
Jerusalem" being the supposititious
diary of the tour of the Holy Land
which William the Damned made years
ago as one Of the preparatory steps to
his war of world-conquest. There may
have been more amusing and more
biting satires, but few.
"The Book of Artemas," also pub
lished by the George H. Doran Com
pany, is another satire on Germany,
England and America, in the time of
the Great War. Its authorship is not
declared, but it is clever enough to
have been written by one of the keen
est pens in England.
From Brentano's comes "The Hunt
Ball Mystery" by Sir William Magnay;
detective story Of English country
house society, deftly constructed and
we'll told, with the elements Of mystery,
suspense and surprise which hold and
crafty the interest.
Major William f. Dunn's "Travelling
Under ORDERS" published by Harper
& Bros, is one of the best hand
books for officers and men who are
to go abroad, telling them just what
outfit they need and what they should
do to assure their safety health and
comfort.

We have had yachting stories, and
horse racing stories, and baseball
stories, and lawn tennis stories, and
what not else, and now we have a
collection Of golf stories. They arc vel
come, because they are both good golf
and good fiction. Mr.. Hail is an expert
veteran Of the links, who knows his
game from the first tee to the last hole.
But he is also an expert literary crafts
man, who knows how to plan and to
tell a thoroughly interesting story--in.
tcrcstng, in this case, to golfers and
nom golfers alike. The story from
which the volume takes its name is not
the first but the seventh of the eight,
bNt in one respect it is not only the
best Of them all but is one of the clev.
crest psychological studies Of sport
that we remember ever to have read.
1t is the tale of champion player
going through q game with what seem
to be immcasurab!c trcpidation and
hesitation. He waits and studies, and
fears and hesitates over shot after
shot. until the suspense is almost un-
cndurably agonlzing. But at the end.

it through with almost lightning speed

Humanity I triumphant
A Vivid, Vital Romance Of the
Battle Front

THE RED CROSS BARGE. BY Mrs, Beloc
]"wndes. l2mo, np. 2ll. George IT, Doran
Company
The Tribune's constituency is doubt
less pretty familiar with the excellent
work which Mrs. Belloc Lowndes has
hitherto produced in fiction. and it GER
tainly is most favorably familiar with
the fine analyses of the war which her
brother, Mr.. Hilaire Belloc, is con-
tributing to The Sunday Tribune. For
both Of these reasons our readers will
be naturally inclined to regard with
antlcipatory interest this new volume
from her gifted pen.
Nor will their anticipation prove
vain. The author has produced one
of the few works of war fiction which
thus far seem assured Of Immortality,
and one which perhaps equally with
any other that has appeared is thus
assured. For literary finish il has not
been surpassed. For what we may de-
scribe with that sadly overworked
phrase "human interest" it is the peer
of any that has been written. In dra-
matte construction it is superb. And in
vincing in the highest degree.
1t is on the French battle front: the
invading Huns exulting in their ad-
vance upon Paris. The insolent saw
agery of the Germans. in loot and
rape and murder. is all brought home
to mind, until we are ready to expect
nothing but red hate on either side.
Yet humanity-which includes love-
is triumphant. The young German
army surgeon loves the French Red
Cross nurse, and dares any risk or sac
rifice for her sake while the Germans
are in control. And the young French
nurse loves the German surgeon, and
dares any risk for his sake when the
French return to their own. And she
soothes him as he dies of his wounds
murmucing. That is beautiful" as
his dying ears catch the roar Of the
"Marseillaise," sung by the victorious
French troops.
Neither was in the least disloyal. to
Germany or to France. in being loyal
to the master passion Of humanity.
The portrayal does not palliatc the
wickedness of the Hunnish war, but
it does convincingly remind US that
there is after all something greater
than hatred.

On m, TiiE n STAIRS. BY Henry T. Fuller. Iemo
Mr.. Fuller's theory, that storytelling
generally gene can be done in smaller com,
9asS 9"S,I inah tnat usually given to it, is
doubtless often justiiiable. We our
selves have frequently wished that q
novel might have been blue pencilled 50
per cent before publication. But in
tne present case-no. The chief fault
OF tins story is its brevity. 1t is so
constrlcted as to seem, as the author
or study for novel than novel, Thn
story, of the conflict between a man
VINO was rising and one who was fall
ing, is plenty good enough to have
nlled twice this space Nevertheless.
Mr.. Fuller has filled the too small space
with mastery craftsmanship. and has
gwen US an intense and vital tale which
the reader will instnctively amplifv in

An Epic of Labor

pE1-LE TIE CoNQUERER BY Martin Andc rson
Ncxo. Two Volumes. l2mo PIP Vi. 562 5S7.
Henry Holt & Co.
The profound impression which was
produccd by the appearance of the first
part of this work, a dozen years ago,
is amply confirmed by its completion,
so that we have no hesitation in re-
cordng it among the most significant
and important sociological novels OF
this generation. For it's peers we must
turn back to the masterpieces of
Charles Kingsley, George Eliot and
Charles Rcade, which will not be
shamcd by its company.
1t is the story of Danish boy who
begins life on a farm far removed from
all the modern industrial and sociologi
cal problems. Thence he goes to u
town which those problems have not
yet invaded, and pursues his ap-
premiership. Next we find him in Co.
pcnhagen, in the midst of industrial
New-York tribune., 1918-03-16

strife, in which he plays a manly part.
Finally, successful, he dcvotes him
SELF to organizing an ideal community of
his fellow workers.
AS q study of industrial and social
conditions it is Of singular value, be-
ing far removed from prejudiced prop
uganda and free from passion, while it
is instinct with authoritative Informal
ton. On the other hand, simply as a
story, quite apart from its ethical sig
nificance, it must rank high among the
best romances Of our time. The trans
lators, Jessie Muir and Bernard Mail,
have done their work admirably, and
the publishers have enriched our liter
ature by adding to it this fine edition
of the Danish classic

Amid a dozen and half short

Ely OF theme is surprisingly great. and
the variety of merit is surprisinglv
small. The scenes and plots range
