France and Mrs. Deland
Small Things" Is Muddled Record
OF Sensitive Soul in Wartime

clear and often creedless young minds
that the body is not the most impor-
tant thing; they know (but most of
them couldn't put it into words to save
their necks.) that it is the spirit which
counts"
Still it is reasonable to suppose that
the body is sufficiently important in
warfare to make an officer prefer a
conceited soldier to a drunken one.
However, there is an escape for Mrs.
Deland, for she finds that this spiritual
list includes, in effect, the bodily vir-
tues. Here we find her reasoning
rather arbitrary.
81 suppose" she observes, "a really
'unseltish' person will not be unchaste; !;
intemperance is rooted in cowardice,
cruel; profanity, silly and offensive ss
it is, is also form of big head"
The justification for these expTana-
tions is beyond us. Trilby, as we re-
member her record, was not chaste
because she could not bear to dsap-
point the young art students. Ger
tainE, we cen see no relationship be-
tween cowardice and intemperance in
these post-July first days in America.
Possibly there is subtle relationship
between stinginess and cruelty, but
some of the most modest men we have
ever known welN prodigious swcarers
because they lacked confidence in their
ability to express themselves forcibly
in unadorned English.
Mrs. Deland is not very skilful
propagandist. Although she moves US
to admiration for the Y. NJ. C. A. once
or twice by stirring stories of the
heroism of secretaries, her chief ex
hibit leaves US cold. This is a story
of man who thought cigarette smok-
ing carnal sin and yet stood all
night By q clearing station, handing
out cigarettes to wounded men, Final
ly he found his supply of matches
running short and so, with no more
than moments hesitation, "He light
ed with one of the last matches) a
cigarette, and put it between his own
lips; then from it and dozens Of
night, he lighted, hour after hour,
cigarettes for the wounded men,"
Undoubtedly, neither Mrs. Deland nor
the Y. M. c. A. secretary knew much
about the chemistry of tobacco, but
there are a score of brands which go
on burning merrily without any puff
ing by the smoker. Such knowledge
might have saved body and soul
Although Mr. Deland was born in
Pennsylvania, we rather suspect her
Of New England ancestry, for she is
devoted to the Puritanical heresy that
there is direct connection between
discomfort and morality. We are not
willing to accept her belief that tribu-
lation is the necessary preparatory
course to character. On the whole, we
found Small Things more interest
ing as a record of Margaret Deland
than Of France in war time.

Vers Libre Well Done

THE SOLITARY. BY James Oppenheim.

New York.
Mr.. Oppenheim is already quite ia
miiar in New York literary circles as
the former editor of "The Seven Arts"
that organ of our young radical intel
'.gentzia which fell one of the first
casualties of the war. The poems col
1ected in the present volume are all
written in the vers librc that has al
ways been the authors most congenal
mode of expression. Occasionally he
succumbs to the besetting tcmpta tion
O. this style Of composition and lapses
into diffuse and empty wordiness. BUT
most Of his poems have the good red
blood of real thought in them; they
a,e written with genuine fire; and at
the same time they show an increasing
sense of artistic fineness and polish.
The following passage from The Sea-
is an excellent illustration of Mr.. OPP
penheim's ability to create sonorous,
rolling effects:
"Al-pernca,tng sea-song.

There are several other poems in tbs
volume that stand out with arresting
excellence. The elegy for Randolph

tribute to a kindred spirit. In THE

gives convincing and realistic

THE MASON-WASPS BY ]. Henri Fabre.
Translated by Alexander Teixeira Mat
tos. Published by Dodd. Mead & Co.
Few Of US are privileged to have
such interesting adventures with wasps
as Henri Fabre. With all his painstak-
ing attention to detail there was q
streak of romanticism in the old natur-
alist. His was essentially the spirit of
the discoverer. A new type of wasp
egg filled him with the same enthus-
asm a new continent might have in
knowledge. He. too, was passionate
and untiring in his seeking.
But he has managed to make his re-
searches interesting to the general
public, not only by the clarity with
which he describes his minute discov-
cries but by his willingness to suggest
their general application to the scheme
Of things entire. Seldom is it more
than a suggestion, for Fabre was too
good scientist to rear any broad
structures of dogma upon a few Oh
served incidents.
None of the books are all wasp, o.
bee, or caterpillar. A little of Fabrc
usually creeps in. Consider, for in
stance, the trepidation which seized
him when he had just removed the
dwelling of certain species Of wasp
and was upon the eve of one of his
most important discoveries:
'Never have I effected removal
which called for such nice precautions.
An accidental movement might easily
break the suspension thread, which is
so delicate that it needs the magnify
ing glass to distinguish it; excessive
oscillation might bruise the egg against
the walls of the cell: l had to beware
of turning it into q sort Of bell-clappc,'

ssmall Things by Margaret Deland,
fAppleton) seems to US to be
the work of sensitive mind
much muddled by the conflicting
currents of the war. Perhaps,
. the author meant to record just such a
Auctuating perspective, but since en-
rhasis is lacking the book leaves the
reader as confused as the writer.
Thus, in the essay called Beads" Mrs.
nelard argues for the abolition of war
hatreds as the only means Of regener-
sting the world. and few chapters
further on she is detailing atrocity
stories. some OF which seem to be by
no means established as authentic.
Several, for instance, concern the
American army, and all these have
been officially denied. Moreover, Mrs.
Deland uses the story of the national
without qualifying it in any way, al
though this is still disputed by some
newsgatherers.
aBeads," it may be remembered,
created a great stir at the time of its
pubiication, for IN it Mrs. Deland sug-
cested that since nothing but chaos
cnuld come out Of the war it might be
lust as we'll for the Germans to win
and let US all start over again at the
foot of the ladder Of civilization. This
is revolutionary piece, but other and
later Impressions are distinctly in
favor Of what was sometimes known
% "thc lust peace and sometimes as
.the knockout blow In other words,
the book IS d record Of the ups and
downs OF Mrs. Delands morale. When
the Allies are winning Mrs. Deland is
a Wilsonan and when things seem to
point to a stalemate she is liberal.
Perhaps not all the muddleheadness
of the book can be traced directly to
the war. For instance, there is one
story about an evangelist who tried to
Get at the ethics of the American army
bv asking the soldiers the question,
aWhat do you think are the four worst
things a soldier can do -
aIf women had been asked the ques-
tiou." writes Mrs. Deland. chow glib
ly most of US would have replied: I'm
chastity, lntemperance, profanity and
cruelty"
Just Why most women would have
included profanity in list of heinous
offences, Mrs. Deland does nots explain.
At any race. the soldiers did not ratify
the suggested list. Their selection was
"Cowardice, selhshness, stinginess and

soldier being conceited and efficient as

believe that most OF the worlds best
