course his tailor and the dealers who sold him
porcelain dogs thought otherwise But we confess
we still stick to that zero mark as our estimate Of
him.
The Stacker
Then the war came and Dogge was made to feel
extremely uncomfortable, like many other Brltons,
as we know through what Mr.. Drifting endured.
Dogges cousin Oliver went off to France as an IN
fantry captain while Dogge stayed at home and
was wished" into becoming engaged to his cousin
Peggy, daughter of the aforesaid dean OF the
cathedral English folk at that time didn't like the
young men who stayed at home; and somebody IN
Durdlebury sent Doggie white feather, with the
result that Doggie got commission and went into
training camp for officers.
Of course he was perfectly unsuited for the COM
mand Of troops, and presently the Lieutenant Col
onel of his battalion had to tell him so. And Doggie
was "chucked" out of the army He went to Lon
don, hid himself in lodging house, and went
through that particular hell such men travel until
they come to resolution once again.
DOggie' resolution was to commit suicide But
he was saved from too long contemplation OF this
BY being recognized by his former tutor, Phlneas
McPhail, once a man self destined for the church
but spoiled by whiskey for that vocation, and now
a private in the British army. And into the army
Doggie followed him.
McPhail is one of the chief joys of the book. You
get the character of the man who, when Doggie said
that ''Dantes inferno was child s play to war,
replied: "Dante had no more imagination than
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-07-28

+ecoonized the ineyitability of such things and
sternly babe him adeu in a letter OF gratitude Tor
restoring to her her little fortune. And so Doggle
came to, finding himself thrown over by Jeanne
and also by Peggy who had fallen in love with
Oliver, who keeps turning up in the story like
bad but dependable penny. We reserve to Mr..
Locke's pages the outcome of the tale, which IS
charged from beginning to end with all his Old
charm of style tender passion and humor Except
for the immortal VagabOnd he has done nothing
better.
And even in the Vdgabond there is no scene so
charged with exquisite emotion as the description
of the dinner given by Jeanne to McPhail and
Shendish simply because they were friends OF
Doggie's To make the average enlisted man In
any army think more of an act of friendship than
of food is supreme accomplishment.
OF the varied minor characters introduced IN
the story the portraits of McPhail and of Shendlsh
stand out as very definite figures. One might wish
that the aluring sketch Locke began of Oliver IS
"man'' Chipmunk might have been carried out
with the same degree of finish. The vision OF Chip
munk, after drinking two quarts of beer IN the
kitchen of the deanery, standing on his head on
the kitchen table and driving the maids into hys-
terical joy thereby, is one that fills the mind with
possibilities of what might have been made of Chip
munk. But possibly the author had his home au-
dience in mind; and there are lengths to which a
novelist may not go even with Chipmunk.

who ended IT, so far as this narrative goes, as a
faithful kind of terrier. Marmaduke is truly
awful name to christen boy, even if it is re-
deemed by James at end and Trevor at the
other Marmadukc was what Trevor mother and
while hrs Gotng parent was wrapping him up in a
cotton wool sort of an existence that aroused the
healthy young contempt of his cousin Oliver to the
point where he Gkened Marmaduke to pet dog
and therefore called him ''Doggie" Yet the time
came so does life work its wonders, when Trevor
thought of being called "Doggie" by his
mates in the trenches and by certain tragic eyed
French girl than he would have thought of winning
the Victoria Cross. Locke's story may have more
than one moral for those who like to find such
things in all books, but it certainly has this one:
That it is detestabe thing to spoil lad by keep
ing him entirely aloof from his fellows.
At the time August s. 1914, came around in
Trevor's life he the perfect dilettante, soil
tary orphan with good income, living on his own
estate in Durdlebury famed for its cathedral)
with the dean of that episcopal pile for an uncle;
a favorite with all the old ladies, and possessed by
a passion for collecting representations of dogs in
clay, porcelain and what not from all over the
world
He played admirably on certain ancient musical
Instruments dressed exquisitely, and was writing
history of wall papers. The average Socialist would
have called Doggie Trevor parasite. And he was.
So far as use in the world was concerned his merits
would be correctly estimated by a zero mark. OF

IN The Rough Rood William j.
i Locke has done something that
we thought would happen one Of these
days, and yet, now that the thing has
been achieved, it has the effect of
mild shock. Pleasureable, but still
shock.
What he has done is to revive the
old fashioned English novel of the be-
fore the war days. Love and ro-
nance breathe again in his pages, con-
ventional English folk live conven-
tional lives, drink tea on the lawn in
the soft beauty of an English after
noon, fall in love and out again.
War enters in only to serve az the
rough road over which the hero
travels to find romance and the light
that lies in woman s eyes shining for
him at its end.
We may readily imagine that Locke
has revolted against the too typical
WdT HONtiy Iuc sui VI llIliS tNdI
even he gave us in The Wonderful
Year and The Red Planet. in which
the reader all too clearly felt the
literary mill grinding because it must
grind. The. average novel reader haG
come to expect something better than
this of Locke ever since the memoir
able days of Marcus Ordeyne and his
morals and of The Beloved Vdgdbond.
You at least expected of him
"good story" And this is what he
has given you in his tale of 'Doggie"
Trevor, which may be opened wit. the
certain assurance that while reading
it you are going to have thoroughly
good time.

Now except for one incident, which
was quite apart from his military du-
ties, there was nothing Of the heroic
about Doggie's life as private in
the army in France. He naturally
loathed the dirt and discomfort of it,
and he had no way of approaching
the men in his company. Yet, curl
ously enough, aside from MePhail, his
great friend was London eOekney
fish dealer, one Shendish.
But the life made man of him
physically; and he grew to be popular
among his mates, owing to his ability
to wrest real music out of tin whis-
tie. And then, in billets, he met
Jeanne Boissiere, whose tale of her
treatment at the hands of the enemy
made him say. "God give me strength
to kill every German l see!" When
he went back to the trenches he per-
formed the unmilitary feat of leaving
his command and finding Jeanne's
fortune where it had been hidden IN
an old well, getting bullet in his
hip from German sniper for his re-
ward and being sent back to Blighty,
which he did not consider favOrably
since it separated him from Jeanne.

Phineas who was the wrong man, for

saw Doggie marrying in his own

AN OBJECT LESSON.

In Wisconsin, a state with the larg-
est proportionate percentage of Ger
man-born citizens, there are three
times as many full-hedged, red-corpul
cled Americans as there are pacifists
and pro-Germans.
The returns in the senatorial cam
pain show more than 23O, 900 votes for
Lenroot and Davies, the Republican
and the Democrat, and only 1900
for Berger, the socialist, who ran on
an anti-war platform. The election
of Lenroot is naturally gratifying, al
though it would have been cause for
great jubilation among the Demo-
Gratis if Davies had been chosen. How
ever, Wisconsin is normally a Repub-
lican state. usually by big majority.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1918-04-04

and the very fact that Davies made
such a close race indicates the great
gains made by the Democratic party.
Both .Lenroot and Davies appealed
for election on stand blythe presi-
dent" policy and on war platform.
Each protested his loyalty and asked
only for the votes of 100 per cent
Americans. Berger, who is now under
Indictment for unpatriotic conduct,
brazenly supported the support of the
disloyal element, and undoubtedly
must have polled its full strength.
If Wisconsin can make such show
ing as this, it is a fine indication that
other states, where there are COM
paratvely few of German blood, will
vote almost solidly for patriotic prin-
ciples.
TIE election in Wisconsin is an OBJ
ject lesson to Georgia. At first, there
were a flock of candidates, and if all
of them had stayed in the race the
minority vote given Berger would havs
elected him. Fortunately the other
Republican and Democratic aspirants
PUT aside their ambition in the inter
ests of national integrity, and thus the
disloyal vote was overwhelmed The
analogy is that if there is multiple
ity of candidates in Georgia, the anti
war crowd in this state might succeed
in sending back to the Senate the man
who has disgraced Georgia more than
any of its public servants has eve,'
done

cine prescribed by Mr.. Taft is precise

body polite appreciably, and will also

1t is gratifying that Congress at

A news story from washington
reads
In favorably reporting bill to
impose drastic penalties on dis
loyal acts, the senate judiciary
committee Tuesday adopted an
amendment by Senator Poindexter,
of Washington. prescribing I'M
prisonment for twenty years and
$4,000 fine for whoever shall by
word or act support or favor the
cause of the German empire or its
allies in the present war, or by
word or act oppose the cause of
the United States therein"
The committee also approved
the same penalties for persons OBJ
structing government war bond is
sues and for wilfully attempting
as well as actual attempts, to OBJ
struct recruiting or enlistments in
the army and navy.
Other amendments written into
the bill by the committee, with
the same drastic penalties pro-
vided, prohibit disloyal or abus-
i've utterances or writings, dis
play of enemy flags or any acts
tending to curtail production of
essential war products, or to lad
vocate, teach, favor or defend"
such acts.
Senator Jones, of New Mexico.
introduced a reolution calling for
dismissal of any government en-
ploye who performs any disloyal
act, utters any seditious Ian
guage against the president or
speaks disrespectfully of the
flag.
This is decidedly more like it.
If these provisions had been a par
of our law all the time, the Unitet
States would have made even greateI
progress in the war, and some of out
hest-known public men would be il

sentences.
In a speech yesterday ex-Presiden
Taft said
"Spies should be courtmartial
ed, lined up and their citizenship
ended by bullets. Those who ex-
press reasonable sentiments
should be tried and punished"
In times like these that try men
souls, there should not be any half

measures be employed to punish thos'
who are disloyal A man is either fol
the government, heart and soul, or b.
is against it, A milk-and-water, luke
warm American is sometimes wors,
than one who is deliberately dis
loyal.
The passage of the act recommended
by the Senate committee will simply
be a further extension of our wal
preparations The United States wa:
unprepared for war in many ways, ant
one of the most striking needs wa:
