Jack London's New
Dog Story

That Jack London was at his best
when he wrote stories OF animals, more
especially dogs, most persons WHO have
read his books will agree. even though
some of them may say his dogs are not
true to life "Thc Call Of the
Wild" will probably be remem-
bered long after most of the versatile
authors other stories have been forgot
ten. II is. therefore. "A matter OF no
little satisfaction to Jack London's ad-
mrers that the latest Of his works, pub
lished posthumously. should be another
dog story. Michael. Brother OF jerry
Is the title. II tells of another singing
dog, even more highly accomplished IN
the vocal art than was Jerry or the
Islands"
The chief purpose of the author IN
writing this story seems to have been
to prepare as strong All indictment as
possible against the performance OF
trained animals. Ills attack upon TINS
form of public entertainment is scath-
ing. but perhaps a. trifle too sweeping
to carry conviction. That cruel and IN
hL.l man methods are oftentimes used TO
teach animals those tricks which eliclt
applause and laughter from minimizing
audiences nobody will deny. but that all
animal trainers rely entirely upon such
methods may we'll be doubted.
There is much of real pathos in
Michael" that will arouse and hold the
attention of any one possessed OF aftec-
ton for dogs. Fortunately, 1t is. a tale
with pleasant ending" which com
pensates f,r some of the grimness OF the
earlier chapters.

Since my arrival In America many

and sorrowfully. II was a mistaken but
a splendid sacrifice for Russia. II proved

one frightfully heartless, untruthful
statement concerning the women who SO
bravely offered their lives for their coun-
try. II was attributed to Lieutenant
Hall, an aviator. II could only have
been a reckless misstatement born of
the acceptance of rumor for fact This
find in a newspaper as Lieutenant
Halls statement:
Lieutenant Hall said that the revo.
luton started In Russia only after the
Church had given it's consent to t. One
day the word went out from Moscow
that God didn't love the Car any more.
and the revolution started next day. In
PetroRrad q new revolution would start
every few minutes"
Lieutenant Hall recounted the career
of the Battalion of Death"
This battalion went into camp near
Petrograd -" lie said "and somebody dug
up some rusty guns for the women.
Everything went smoothly until a quar-
rel among them took place one night.
followed by free-for-ail fight, In which
about thirty or forty of them were
killed. Then their guns were taken
away from them, and that was the end
of the Battalion of Death"
To you. who have read my story. do
not deem a word of denial of this state
ment necessary. Yet Z is shameful
thing that such words as these should
be spoken-and printed-after n tragedy.

What Happened to Kelly

OF the numerous books that Arthur
Train has written in the last few years
"The World and Thomas Kelly" his
latest production, is perhaps deserving
of the most serious consideration. The
story of n young man who. upon leaving
college. became entangled In the meshes
of so-called Society" 1t Is to a certain
extent an analytical study of those temp
tations which many American youth en-
counter in the days of their calowness.
Tom Kelly Is undoubtedly a real type
superficially weak. but with an innate
strength of character that In the end re-
deems him. There are many In the real
world like him: " there were fewer
there would not be so many human
tragedies to he blamed on what for a
better name is still known as the smart
set"
Like all Of Mr.. Trains novels. TON
Kelly" breezily written. is highly enter
tanning, II has the further merit, not
always 10 be found in fiction. of ringing
true. The characterzations are not ex-
aggerated. Notwithstanding that. In the
main, the story is n satire. The young
married woman with whom Tom fancles
himself IN love IL typical of a class so
is ber husband, who promises the youth-
ful hero a sound thrashng. The char
acterS of the millionaire and his daugh-
ter. who are so anxious to drag young
Mr., Kelly TO the altar. are little more
vague and perhaps not quite so convinc-
ing, Parradym. the cynical parasite,
may not have been taken from real life,
but there are many "in society" who
closely resemble him
An unheroic hero is by no means a
novelty IN fiction, but few of their
creators have been so successful rs Mr..
Train in making human faults and weak
nesses so appealing as TO arouse and re-
tain the readers interest and sympathy.

an ever-incressing number of the ma
