THE CONSCIENTIOUS DIRECTOR. BY
Major Walter Guest Kellogg with an IN
troducticn by Newton y. Baker Secretary
Of War. Published by Boni & I4veright.
During the war, and even now, there
is a feeling among many people that
all conscientious objcc.ors were slack
ers and towards. This opinion, how
ever, is apparently not shared by
Major Kellogg, chairin,;a of the Board
OF Inquiry appointed by Presidential
order to examine the sincerity of these
objectors.
Major Kellogg reports that OF thou
sands Of oo1ectors examined almost
all Of them were found to be sincere.
Contrary to widely prevalent opinion.
he says, approximately 90 per cent of
the objectors examined BY him were
American born. His belief Is that pro
German continent had little to do with
their convictions. The majority of OBJ
jections we're based on religious scru
Pies and among the obiectors were
represented many widely different
faiths, such as the Quakers and the
Dunknrtis
1t Is certain that book on this suh-
jcct would be written, and we should
feel indebted to Major Kellogg for a
most impartial treatment OF most

THE TWO CROSSINGS OF MADGE
SWALUE BY Henri DaviFnon Trans
lated by Tita Brand Cammaerts. Pub
lished by John Lane Company.
After all the vulgar exploitation of
our pity-and the pro patrie sentiment
talizing of war fiction our responses to
the heroisms and barbarites and lift
ing phrases of the war have grown
dullcd However, the imagination
which has been battered into insen-
sibility stirs family again at the naive
touch of this tale. SO admirable is its
restraint, so touching its simplicity that
it pcnctratcs the apathy toward the
war as literary material.
jean Swalue is an ordinary undistin-
guished young man of the Belgian mid
die class. He loves the ancient Flemish
town and the picturesque milieu in which
he has been bred-but he has grown
up in world SO contracted by modern
inventions that local peculiarfties have
lost their significance and national
boundaries seem mere imaginary lines.
He falls in love with an English girl
and uproots himself lightly enough at
her whim to follow her to England.
There he finds the REIMBURSEMENT to a
more sophisticated scheme OF life easy
enough until the war comes, revealing
to himself how deeply ruttod . thing
is national character. Comrade in arms
though he is with the English, his emo
tions about the war are different from
theirs, and they are different, too, from
those of his reserved English wife.
Automatically his cosmopolitanism
slips from him and he becomes again 4
Flemish peasant, desperately, unrea-
sonngly outraged at the affront to the
land.
In that regained simplicity of mind
he crosses back to Belgium to become
part of that dixie against which the
first wave of the German invasion hurled
itself The book bears on its title the
name of Madge Swaluc, his wife, be
cause of the accident which gives her
the last move in the piece. With a
somewhat obvious and self conscious
touch of sentiment she crosses back to
Belgium after the death of Jean to
bring. UP their son in his fathers ira
ditions.
But such sentimcntality as this Is
mere lapse in the book. For the most
part it is filled with q truly romantic
comprehension Of the lovo OF country.
And the simplicity of it's writing is
sheer art. Through it shines the finest
its characterizations are accomplished
by mere suggestion. Old Swalue, the
antiquarian, disarmingly naive but Il
keen judge OF the world; the shrcwd,
indomitabc Nine. De Macrescamp and
two or three others arc skilled und
charming portraits. K. D.

midnight, and during the entire day
her father neither called to her nor
came up to her.
When she walked down the steps
for the first time 1t was dark. and she
nearly stumbled over his BODY. which
lay near the door.
She stopped down, rigid with fright,
with an army of thoughts about sui.
eide and murder marching through
her.
"Only the smell Of whiskey and the
heavy, stentorious breathing relieved
her.
Her father was drunk.
$50 she stood up quickly and stepped
around his PROSTATE form and out Of
the door onto the porch.
Anxious to get away from the
place, she ran quickly, though weak
from her day of hysterical fasting.
hen she was more than block
away from the house, the thought
flashed into her head that maybe her
father was not drunk but dead and
that she had imagined he was breath
ing. So she ran back and, with
spasm of fear, entered the dining
room and put her head down on her
fathers chest. He was breathing
heavily and snoring from the effects Of
the liquor"
Charlie Case, the black-faced mo-
nologist, used to handle similar sit
uatlon rather more simply. "Mother,"
he used to say, "was a remarkable
woman. She could always tell when
father'd been drinking We didn't
know how she did it. We couldn't tell.
We used to go out and think he was
dead"
1t would be unfair to criticse Good
man for things which are outside his
intention: There is no validity in the
charge that the persons about. whom
he writes are not particularly pleas
ant persons, but it is fair to say that
does not succeed because the people
do not convince us that thew are real

5hem by their own names, but it would
have been boon to the reader.
The story gives us the clash Of the
minds of all these personalities and
their effect upon the movement. There
are several mass meetings and conven-
tlons described, and these are made
dramatic and interesting We get
vlvldly the sense of the swirl Of ex-
cltement which Is Brita;r's industrial
life to-day. We see the Socialists
wrangllng with the syndicalists, and
both with the Guild Socialists Mr..
Desmond considers it necessary to
change these latter into the Graft
Soclallsts," just as he changes "The
Daily Mail" into "The Daily Meteor":
this, 1T seems to me. is surely CARRYING
the literary proprieties too far!
The theme of the story is a pcnoral
strike and its ruthless crushing by the
military; in other words, Mr.. Desmond
sees the fate of the radical movement
as did Jack London in "The Iron Heel"
IN press note the publishers of
democracy" said that the book was
written before the war, and the author
did not find it necessary to change anv
of his prophecies to fit the war deyel
opments. Well, it seems to ME it
would have been better if he had
eH"lieGu tilcll. lie SHOWS the organized
workers on one side and on the other
side the police and the soldiery pre-
sentlng an unbroken front, ana work
ing the machine guns without the
slightest qualms of conscience. But
among the Developments in England Of
which We have read have been a strike
Of the organized London policemen
and numerous mutinies of British
troops who objected to the war on
Russia and the continuance of con-
scription. I follow the British labor
movement in some eight or ten weekly
papers, and it looks to me very much
as if the leaders of the triple alliance
in Britain were displaying statesman
ship and keeping close TO the hearts of
the people, making their aims under
stood to the people-whch includes
both the policemen and the soldiers.
Whether you will call this good thing
or an evil depends, of course, upon your
point of view; in any case, the cues
tions are the only important questions
OF our time, and if you like to get
your sociology in fiction form you
should read Democracy"
New-York tribune., 1919-07-26
By Haywood Broun

. "The Taker" (Boni-Liveright), by
Daniel Carson Goodman, is realistic
novel by writer who is full Of ro-
mantle dclusions. Mr.. Goodman, for
instance, seems to feel that the only
thing necessary to create an atmos-
phere of wild and gay life is to have
s character call q waiter and order
"a small bottle of Pommery." We find
it difficult to accept Goodman as an
authority on alcoholic reactions, be-
cause he is just as arbitrary in turn
ing off gayety as in switching it on
Thus, at one point In the book, he has
his hero all but reeling and restores
him to complete sobriety merely by the
expedient of sending him home to Hast
ings on local train.
The implications against the train
service of the New York Central is
unfair. Hastings is only little above
Yonkcrs, and number of persons who
commute on the same line all the way
to Harmon or Croton assure us that
Goodman's expedient is not enough.
Moreover, the author of "The Taker"
seems firm in the belief that when
women are disappointed in love they in
varably go out and buy poison and
drink it. This happening has all the
merit Of regular custom in "The
Taker,' as two of the three women who
love Leonard Vernon seek surcease
from heartbreak in this way. We
would like The Taker" better if the
author would take more pains to point
out just why the various women in the
book were so passionate in their devo-
tion to Leonard. He seemed to us a
dull stick, full of prosy platitudes.
The reader must take his attraction
largely on faith, for the author Just
has 1t so without any very convincing
proof. Such is the manner of the ro-
manifest rather than the realist.
There are, of course, certain literal
truths in the book, but none of them
seemed TO US particularly searching.
1t is hardly necessary for Goodman to
point out that even beautiful young
ladies may occasionally jar the sensi-
bilities of enamoured acquaintances by
saying "ain't."
The book is largely concerned with
the love adventures of Leonard Vernon,
and in a shadowy way the thesis of
the author seems to be that the man
who always takes and never gives
cannot find happiness. At least,
Inat seems 10 De the thesis OF the
novel, but it is not very clearly devel-
oped. The story rambles a good deal,
Personally, we found Leonard ticke be-
yond point where he carried great
amount of serious interest. We found
him rather comic. This may have been
the intention of the author, although
for the most part Goodman seems de-
void of humor. 1t is true that much
writing is impaired by the determina-
tion to be funny, and yet sense of
humor is necessary, even if held in
allegiance, in order to keen the writer
from unconsciously blundering into the
ludicrous. One of Goodman's grim
NEST incidents seemed to US beyond
the border line of safety for this very
reason:
The day she ran from Lester, Marcy
stayed at her fathers home until near
