MAY LAY OUT SIX
HOLE ARMY LINKS

! A T the time when the national army
"A training camps were being laid
out last year. it was suggested By
several enthusiastic golfers that a
short course be a part OF the athletic
equipment OF each cantonment, the
same as a baseball diamond and foot
ball gridiron. The idea did not appeal
very strongly 20 the army officers IL
charge Of the camps, as they figured
there would not be enough golfers
in the ranks 10 make it worth while.
and. anyway, 1t would mean a lot of
labor and unnecessary expense for the
benefit OF comparatively small per
centage Of their men.
The Officers found that while
baseball football, boxing and
track sports appealed TO their
charges the golfers were much in
the minority, because Of the fact
that most OF them went to officers
training camps and comparatively
Few were drafted.
Now practically all country clubs
have opened their doors to uniformed
men, and. as It happened, there was
hardly camp that did not have a
country club near by. Golf is a more
leisurely game than baseball A man
needs two or three hours to get any
real fun out Of the round. At some OF
the camps a practice ground was
fixed, notably at the New England
environments. and at one or two places
in the south.
Cost Too Much.
But there has been no call from the
golfers themselves for cantOnment

anyone else the cost OF building even
a six hole course and the added ex-

SAYS FRENCH ARE ENCOURAGED.
Palmer Bowen, Former Marshailtowr
Boy, Hero For Short Stay.


Palmer Bowen, n former Marshall.
| town boy who, for eighteen years. has
been in France, spent the day in the
city to visit the county fair, coming
| up from Tama, where he arrived few
days ago for short visit with his
| brother in law, Albert jackson,
Mr.. Bowen left France late in July.
| He says the French people are greatly
encouraged now over the outlook for
victory in the world war, the presence
of the American troops in large num-
| bers. and their activity at the front
being largely responsible for the feel
ing.
In the spring. Mr. Bowen says. the
conditions in France were not prom
Using. The people were at high ten
| sion following the beginning of the big
German drive. In addition to the Of
fensive and air raids four or five
| nights a week, the long range freak >
guns which landed shells in the su-
burbs of Paris caused a feeling of ner-
vousness and unrest.
| MIR. Bowen says that The food con-
| ditions in France are better than they
have been, and that a large crop was
raised this season. Sugar is scarce. as
it Is everywhere, and the rationing in
France is a pound per month per per-
son, with no allowance for canning.
The latter restriction has caused a
| large fruit crop to go to waste, and
we are a big jam and preserves people,
you know" tst
There is a shortage of nea and
horses. due to the large number en-
gagged in the war. The American army
| has taken most OF the available horses
which were left at the time the Amer
| leans entered the war.
Mr.. Bowen can see but one way for
the war to end, and that with glori-
Gus allied victory. He says that II the
Americans succeed in taking Metz
| they viii have won a most important
point, owing to the iron ore fields in
| the Lorraine sector. From a military
standpoint. Mr.. Bowen says, the allies
hope the Germans will fight it out on
the line as it is now established. with
| out compelling the allies to go tar into
German territory.
Mr.. Bowen is on hts way to South
American, in the interests OF a French
| hide and leather company which he
represents. From South America, after
returning to this country, he will sail
for the far east.

all of us to keep US banded together. 1t is
the multiplicity Of variation that saves liv-
ing, even where it may be at it's worst, from
being altogether hopeless and 1t makes it
at its best thing that may almost seem
to be touching the tail Of the star that flies
always ahead Of the idealists. 1t Is the differ.
ence that pits men against each other, singly,
In groups, in crowds, and then in nations.
Each has view of deality that is surren-
dered and compromised and added to by
contact with other men, until in the end all
the battles in the world arise out of this
shock of group egotsms, discovering ways
of finding what may seem an eternal salts
faction in living.
This Is tremendous morality to load on
so small and innocent a book as Constance
Garnett's latest Dostoievsky translation,
collection of short stories and sketches put
out by Macmillan's under the title "White
Nights" Here is a rude assortment of
literary wanderings, almost the kind of
thing a novelist has put on paper in the
moments between upheaving inspirations
little tremors Of his universe punctuating

the intervals between the earthquakes of
his imagination. But it would not need
"The Possessed" or "The Brothers Kara
mazov" even "Crtme and Punishmentn-
it would not need any of these trumpetings
besides the thin, quiet voice of these sketches
to penetrate all satisfactions and COM
placencies and pride everywhere and estab-
!ish living as a greatly more uncertain and
variable thing, possessed of greater ca
pacty for intensties in every direction
than all the little systems and PHILOSOPHERS
that try to house it will make room for.
Dostoievsky has not done so marvellously
in these stories, yet the total effect of them
is such as to raise enormously the question
of what genius amounts to. These are COM
mon lives he turns out to light, young
people who are adolescent and lonely, as
only youth on first awakening to the i'm
mensity of it's world can be alone; men and
women who are angered with the futility
of their existence and rush to passion and
dissipation madly as if to do so were to
shake their clenched hands at the heavens:

world; a woman of fashion, a mistress.
lover, soldiers, old women, seducers, drunk
ards all those who exist every
where, but are only disclosed when great
mind is turned them.
In the end there comes out of such poY-
traits an enormous impression of the differ
ences that grow to mountainous proportions
when humans are gathered into nations It
IS plain now that there are no people any,
where on the earth like the Slavic people
There is no explanation, no echo of Tartar
tribes and redundant Orientalism that will
explain them; nothing except it be the
explanation that lies in themselves And
what is clearest in this work is the unique
character of the genius that gives such
disclosure to the world 1t is not merely
that these types that exist everywhere are
singularly different in Russia but that it
is part of the Russian character to tear the
curtain aside and disclose them in this way.
1t is true that our own literature has
learned how to face life little more truth
fully than it has been accustomed to do,
but even in the most lusty days of the
Anglo-Saxon tradition it did not have to
face anything SO complicated as the human
conditions of modern life project In Rus
sian art, of the last century as we'll as this,
there have been no hidden things; everything
in human nature has been shown utterly
what is Gnglorious and vain and futile and
dreary alongside the terrible longing for
betterment, the tightening moments of tri-
umphant living. These are truly people
who are unashamed to live and drink the
last drop and pay the last penny, but their
biographer is not afraid to be as simple
as those he sketches and shows his soul
along with theirs. 1t is not the dramatic
power of Dostoievsky that is so impressive
as his power to tell the truth without
flourish.
When there is a temptation to think of the
Russian as subtle complex, when there Is
danger of being outfaced by the bright
clothes of his modernity, his governments
his music, his painting-all his great strug-
gle to express himsef-it will be we'll to
remember that this is only the other side
of his overpowering honesty and terrible
naIvete. All the other peoples in the world
have become sophisticated. The Russian re-
mains alone still child, still hoping and be-
lieving, haunted by shadows and fears, and
brave enough and simple enough always to
confess them.
Henry James tried hard to capture this
honesty for US, to disclose what went on
behind the walls but the tradition of his
race was too long and hard upon him. The
young men try to do it in England, but the
A,,<~I
themselves out under the sun and keep
nothing hidden. 1t is not strange that it
should be Joseph Conrad who uses the Eng
llsh tongue for the first time for complete
human confession. No Englishman would
dare show soul so naturally as Conrad
showed Lord jim" Which returns the
theme to Slavs and Dostoievsky. And the
differences between humans everywhere!
