"The Secret City"

ITO THE EDITOR OF Books AND THE

of the four million among appreciative
readers, ! am not expecting that my opin-
ion will carry great weight, yet am ven
turing to express my disappointment that
in the chest books" named in your num-
Der for June Is by representative men
and women so little attention was paid to
The Secret City, by Hugh Walpole. Ger
tainly it has been some time since we have
had any novel so mastery in its ability to
create about its reader that atmosphere
necessary for an appreciation of the
curious situations Of the story. Certainly
no novelist for some time past has given
US a work IN which we have found such in
teresting character delineation combined
with a story so well told.
When l read The Dark Forest several
years ago / rejoiced that so remarkable
a novel had been written at time that so
much rushed work seemed to be going
through, but when I finished The Secret
City felt that something so much finer
had been accomplished that 1 wanted
every one to rejoice. So because my dis
appointment was great hope 1 may be
pardoned if / have taken a busy mans
valuable time with this letter. / have
greatly appreciated the opinions and
articles of your Book World and for all
the enjoyment you have given me l thank
you. MABEL CHEYEEY.

Margaret Deland
Sees 1t Through

90 many unkind things have been
- said about the Y NJ. C.. A. work.
ers abroad that to repeat a story told by
Mrs. Margaret Deland in her book may
be like rubbing it in. But there was
Y. NJ. C. A. young man in France who
thought smoking was wrong. He would
no more smoke himself than he would
blaspheme, Mrs. Deland says. But he
would on occasions give cigarettes to the
wounded soldiers in the same spirit that
q doctor gives morphine to a man In pain.
One night when the Y. NJ. C. A. young
man was distributing cigarettes to the
wounded the matches gave out. What
should he dot "ShOuld be be righteous,
or should they be comfOrtableT
"'There is nothing else to do he said.
and so he offered himself-his soul and
body, in holy, living land perhaps entire
ly unreasonable sacrifice, TO those suf-
fering men! He lighted with one of the
last matches) cigarette, and put it be-
tween his own lips; then from it and
dozens of others, for he kept one burning
all that night, he lighted, hour after hour,
cigarettes for the wounded neD."
What that may have meant in physical
discomfort, Mrs. DeIand does not presume
to know. But she says: at is the
poignaney of his spiritual pain that goes
to my heart. For pure heroism, have
found nothing more splendid tksn this
sacrifice of personal convictions"
Mrs. Deland's sketches are like Dorothy
fisher's-with a difference. They are
more sentimental What is interesting in
them is to observe the authors change of
mind on the subject of German atrocities.
The first story she tells with some hesi-
fancy, ard she says she will tell only one.
But she tells many stories, and before she
is done, she is not so impres:e, as she was
by the beautiful letter NJ. Drifting wrote
to those South German parents. All Ger
mans look alike to her. Using single in
cident as a general simile she says it is
not only the German Government that
would kick a woman in the stomach, it is
the German people, individually and col
lectively. When a woman Of Mrs. De-
lands temperament gets so worked up
over German atrocities, we are more in
clined to think the worst and believe the
unbelievable.
The novel by Mrs. Alfred Sidgwick
Mrs. Deland recommends as giving good
picture of Germany and the Germans is
Sail Of the Earth, as we recall it, and not
Salt and Savor, as she writes.

e. As regards Mr.. Meredith's man
ner Of reading, if you ask about his read
ing of poetry, l can give you some i'm
pressions. His reading of prose was so
infrequent that it has left me little re-
mcmbranee.
Meredith was very far from a chant
ing reader. He used the speaking voice
of ordinary life, using it expressively and
dramatically, as the meaning Of the words
demanded. He never allowed the metre
to cut up or break the meaning But, as
you know, he made quantity very impor-
tant in some of Lis poems. 1t is important
in all lyrics, but he used it more regularly
than any poets Except the unknown COM
pOsers of popular ballads) have done.
He made cumulative feet take stated
place in every stanza Of few Of his
poems And he marked this so well in
reading that you might almost beat time
A minim word was precisely equal to two
crochet words. But there was nothing of
this in his more dramatic verse. His voice
was beautiful, and always enforced, and
never artificial. Aubrey de We're and
Francis Thompson used to chant then
poems, or nearly.

Let Them Be.

There to be good bit of agitation, that
peace is declared to what shall be done with the
bodies of the American lads who died heroes on the
battefeds of France. Sentiment seems to be divided
Some them brought home while other frankly de-
clare that it would be nothing less than sacrlege to
the bodies of these lads from the soil where
they gave up defense of freedom and right
In addition to the sentimental side which by the way,
should outweigh all other features there is practical
side that be considered Major General Clarence
Edwards who in command of the 26th Division dur
this side of the question follows
From my point of view, would rather that boy
of mine who died as these heroes did should rest in
peace the sacred ground where he fell The soil on
which hundreds up their lives always
will be- The people of France may we'll be depended
upon to keep it sacred.
while it is a delicate matter to talk about the details
of the $4,000 bodies many of them buried in
their blankets and many in community graves that
once the trenches in which the men fought must
be considered There must inevitably be much conus-
ion many mistakes and heartrending details that could
well and properly be avoided by leaving these lads in the
graves where their comrades placed them"
Let them be- Allow these bodies remain in the sa
cred soil where they fell Nothing but spirit of selfish
ness could prompt any to want to remove them How
ever should there be of relatives any special
reason wanting to body government should
allow it, but don't think the government should con-
slider removing them, except in such cases.-Telfair

THE CITY'S PROBLEM.

The statement of Mayor Sheppard before the city

100000 in the hole" should awaken every citizen of
Americas to a serious situation The city owes and has
promised to pay practically 100000 more than it has

the present system of taxation without further borrow

dent, thereby mourning expenses that its

However the present condition about, it exists
and be faced or Americas owes this
money beyond her ability pay from current

The problem is serious, and difficult But it

able to muster courage sufficient to apply the solution

unheard of, and outsiders that is based

Yes it will mean state and county taxes to be

past because of too low valuations, it is high time we
were paying And besides consciousness of duty

FRESH POULTRY An active de-
maDd continues for fresh fowl and
receipts are somewhat under the de-
mand for current use. Supply of
young chickens continues to increase
showing that large numbers have
reached the marketing age and are
now available. A further iric1Sease
in the marketing is expected.
The harvesting has to some extent
interfered with the even marketing
of poultry but this is condition that
should soon adjust itself.
Feeding stations in the country

chickens for market.

CREAM There has been no
change in the situation on cream
during the week. The quality has
detoriorated on account of the hot

due to farm wark. 1t is especially

the year that the cream be delivered
frequently to the shipping stations
and that it be properly taken care of
on the farm.
