A good guide book to the people of a
country, starring and double starring their
more important characteristics, would be
more valuable than the guide book that
stars only pictures and pensions, and
might be more effective than league in
establishing the brotherhood of man.
Frederick William Wile's little book, En-
planning the BritisherS, is an admirable
example of the new kind of guide book
made necessary by the world war. 1t is
n guide book to the English people, and
was especially prepared for the American
soldiers and sailors to carry with them In
their knapsacks abroad.
Mr.. Wile's book contains more facts
than eulogy, except that the facts regard
ing the achievements OF the British army
and navy in the war are in themselves
culogy. The author tells the story of the
contemplate little army at Mons. He
compares Ypres TO Waterloo, to the dis
advantage of the latter. He says: "When
the full story of the great war is written
/ believe its chronclers will say that Brit
ain bit off far more than Napoleon ever
tried to chew--and chewed it"

Explaining the Britishers"

He quotes in full Kitchener's message
TO the first one hundred thousand British
ers going to France, remarkable message
for a general to send to his men, and one
that never could have been written in
Germany. Mr.. Vile tells stories of in
dividual heroism in the war; of the boy,
Jack Cornwall, at the battle of Jutland,
who stuck to his post to the last, and of
Capt. Fryatt; of men from the most hum
Bile ranks in life who rose to the top in the
army, and of the Asquiths and Bonar
Laws, Roseberys and Gladstones who have
made the Great Sacrifice equally with
those of less distinguished Names
To illustrate the fact that the British.
ers are not good advertisers for them
selves, Mr.. Vile tells the following story:
When I lived in Berlin an English
owned Luna Park Company had a red
blooded American advertising man. One
day he rushed into the managers office,
bubbling with enthusiasm, and announced
that after weeks of effort he had secured
permission TO put up an electric flash
sign 80 feet high and $50 feet across in
Potsdamer Plata district like Forty
Second street and Broadway. The Ameri-
can expected his English manager to ex-
plode with joy. He did nothing of the
sort He lit fresh cigarette, thought for

TT is curious thing when you think Of
i it. Before visiting a country for the
first time a traveller buys guide book.
But the guide book is the kind that gives
information about the streets and public
buildings and monuments and museums
and pictures, railroads, hotels and cabs
everything, in fact, about the country ex-
cept tile people living in it.
Whereas. it is. much more important be-
fore going to England, for example, TO
know something about the psychology and
the language of the London cabby than
about his cab and rates. We recall once
arguing with a London cabman for ten
minutes, while he kept reiterating that
what we had given to him was fair and

1C1 MERSoN in one of. his Essays" lG says:
 All mankind loves q lover;" but-he should have said: "All man kind loves a successful lover"
 It is most curious but certainly true, that while the world hastens to con- graduate successful love. all mankind regards with derision, the unsuccess- full love.
 All the world lauds constancy-yet smiles with contempt upon the lover who continues to sigh for an affection denied him.
 So great an analyst of the character of men and women, as the immortal Shakespeare states that
 Love Is not love which alters when it alteration finds!'
 Yet-the universe laughs heartily at the woman who continues to weep for the man whose love for her has faded out as photographic blueprint fades beneath the blistering rays of the sum- mer sun.
 Why is this?
 Byron-somewhat of an authority on emotional matters seems to place the matter of loving outside the control of the will, when in the second Canto of Lara" he writes:
 Why did she love him? Curious fool;
 be still A
 Is human love the growth of human
 will?"
 In The Natural Law" a play of m odern mechanism and philosophy which scored a big run on Broadway" season or two ago and was seen recently in Birmingham, the physician in the cast, reproves foolish womaD for seeking the affection of man in- different to her and who is ardently in love with another girl.

Louers' Problems and Diplomacy
By DOLLY DAI.R YMPLE

the growth of human will, but rather something that grows in spite of it; hence, there is injustice in scorning one who loves regardless of rhyme or reason, the constant lover, the lover whose devotion continues when it al- iteration finds"
 Doubtless the lover who grows in- different, is also the victim of some chemical change.
 Perhaps some lethal forgetfulness, some fatal coldness, is infused into his blood that robs it of it's warmer re- sponsiveness
 At any rate, where he loved once, he now disdains, and there's the rub, the puzzle of it."
 Who is to blame?
 Triumphant love- is love in harmony; despises love, results when dischords are introduced because some once melo- dious responsive strings in that won drous instrument, the heart. snap or relax and become forever mute.
 All loves old Sweet Song" becomes mere piping upon a broken flute; even the great god Pan, himself, could not have evoked music from shat tered reed.
 And then the world fosooth. the heartless world, scorns the strings that still yield dulcet love tones, of love that still strives to give out notes as tender as an Aeolean Harp.
 Keats once wrote, in a letter to lady whom he adored:
 ''I wish you could inent some means to make me at all happy without you"
 And that is the helpless lovers quandary today; how to get over the luckless infirmity that somes unbiden. and remains unwelcome.
 Jane Ayre wept that she must break her own heart strings wrenching them loose from pr. Rochester about which they were entwined and we do not find that such heroic methods were in her case particularly curative.
 Perhaps "absent treatment' after all, is the most efficaeious.
 Sir Lancelot bung1ed woefully in seeking to cure the Lilly Maid of Asto- lat of the tender emotion his own care less favor had awakened
 Even Solomon, the Wise. does not seem to have disposed of lovers prob lems with his usual successful diplo- macy.
 Alas and alack; it is all part and parcel of Life's muddle, and the reason for it, or the remedy for loves malady- who knows it?
