Old DOOr,UdyS

Albert G. Robinson, who for years
has been collecting photographs of old
New England doorways. has had about
100 of them reproduced in book which
he prefaces with an essay on doors and
doorways. He reminds us that it was
not until the eighteenth century that
the colonists began to ornament the en-
frances to their houses and that from
New England as far south as South
Carolina are to be found houses with
doorways of the same general type.
They came in with the Georgian era,
which began in 1920. The colonial
builders were not architects as the term
is now understood They were car
penters, and most of them got their in
spiration from book of carpenters
drawings by Batty Langley. This is
supposed to explain the similarity of
general design. Langley apparently was
fond of the classical, for his pupils
adopted the Doric. the Ionic and the
Corinthian pillar and pilaster with a
corresponding pediment as the basis for
all their designs, a style which con
tinues in popularity to the present day
Mr.. Robinson's book will interest
architects and all other persons who
care about the artistic achievements of
our ancestors.

What America Did

preparedness, the slogan of the
pessmist and occasionally of the in
dignant patriot, was not profound or
grave enough to prevent the United
States from a most effective and exten-
sive accomplishment in the great war.
Florence Finch Kelly, in "Nhat Amer
lea Did" gives notable summary of
the record of the national achievement
in the prosecution and winning of the
war. No phase is neglected-the army,
the navy, the civilian lines at home, in
dustry, welfare organizations, and other
factors are described concisely and yet
illuminatingy and inspiringly.
Mrs. Kelly went to the original
sources for her facts and statistics,
which are thus accurate and authori-
tative, and with the trained mind of
the journalist and social worker has
assembled the material into very read
able form. AS she points out, ''the
highest and best form of efficiency is
the spontaneous co Operation of free
people" This was certainly proved
by Americas major and noble and nota =
bic role among the victorious Allies.
Mrs. Kelly has told the story we'll. 1t
is one to be proud Of Her book is
worthy of permanent possession as a
chronicle, record and analysis of one
of the great eras in our national life.

PSychologizing the Teuton

1t is perhaps as safe as it is fair to
say that no other American is better
qualified than DIR. Vernon Kellogg to
write the Illuminating little book, Ger
many in the War and After" Doctor
Kellogg brought the training of the sci
entist-he is a noted biologist and
economist-and the taste of the littera
teur to his task of psychologizing the
Teuton or perhaps a better way of put
ting it would be to say interpreting the
PrusSian mind and impulses which
overrOde Germany of the Bismarckian
heritage in terms Ineligible to civilized
peoples, From 1915 till very recently
he has been in close touch with Ger
mans. at first in their inflated pride
and Kultur- lust as a member of the
commission for relief in Belgium and
later in their hour of humiliation as
member of the American relief com
mission which has been working to feed
Europe. He has also served as an
executive of the United States food I'D
ministration, AS a member of the G.
r. B. his activities took him into Ger
many before we entered the war and
more especially brought him into con-
tact with the militaristic caste in Bel
gium and northern France. AS a men,
Der of the A. r. c. his work has taken
him into post war Germany. He has
thus had opportunity to make inten-
sive studies and to witness some in
teresting contrasts.
Doctor Kellogg says that the Ger
mans have been made what most OF
them are today by perverted and bru-
talizing education. He sees some hope
for them-and the world in which they
must still form a part-in the future.
'Instead of carrying their old type of
social organization and political atti-
tude to all the rest of the world and
| imposing it on the rest of the world by
force, they have now, for their own
sake and the sake Of human progress,
| to accept another type. I believe that
with time they will see this and do it.
But it will not be done in a day" is
the deduction of his observations and
studies.

Irish Fairy Tales

Irish fairy tales, of course, are the
best in the world because the Irish are
of the only nationality that has kept
faith in thew people. And some of the
very best Irish fairy tales we have read
are composed in ''Lo and Behold Ye,"
by Seumas MacManus. There is wit in
them, and there is humor; there is sen
timent and there is feeling; there is
sounding phrase and substantial sense.
Mr. MacManus has not wasted the time
be diverted from his magnum opus, a
monumental history of Ireland, now in
careful preparation, to write these
charming tales with their tang of the
peat smoke and their Irish warmth of
heart. Mr.. MacManus in this delight

IRELAND'S CAUSE
DESCRIBED BY CREEL
"Irelands Fight for Freedom
a Full and Eloquent
Statement

"1reland's Fight for Freedom" has
the decided advantage over most books
on one of the most burning world
problems of both yesterday and today,
and maybe of tomorrow, that 1t is not
written by an Irishman or by what is
somewhat loosely called by opponents
Of home rule or "self determine
tion" an agitator.
George Creel, the author, is trained
investigator and journalist, publicist
of experience and vision and a man
fearless in the furtherance of the right,
as he conceives the right. He is
American not merely by the accident of
birth, but by all the inspirations and
implications of Americanism. He is
not one generation American, but
derives back to an ancestry almost
pioneer. His work, of great energy,
competency and value, during the war,
as chairman of the United States COM
mittee on public information. is well
remembered. His sense of news led
him, on the termination of the Peace
Conference, to fathom the big world
story in Ireland. and without any
predictions or preiudiccs, but merely
with the reporters function of getting
the news as guide he made a tour
of investigation of troubled Erin. APP
parently what he saw and heard led him
to make researches into the political.
economic, social and religious history
of Ireland.
The consequence is this book. just
as Mr. Creel's antecedents are unusual
for this kind of book, so the book itself
is unusual. Mr.. Creel attempts no
profound presentation or elaborate sur
vey, but with the journalist instinct
and training for selection of essentials
has written. very graphically. an out
line that has all the necessary back
ground and supplement of statistics,
data and citations. but which plays up
the high points. He does not bark
back to ancient preiudiccs. olden far
off things and battles long ago. but
has really modernized the Irish situa-
tion and Irish claims lie discusses,
however, both past and present His
conclusion, as to the future, is that
Ireland should have self determination
and that an independent ireland will
be better not only for Ireland but
for England and the world He con-
siders all phases political economic,
racial and religious His presentation
of Canada s fight for dominion govern
ment, and why this solution is not ap-
plicable to Ireland, will be n revelation
to American readers. Readers may not
agree with Mr.. Creel's arguments
either in part or as a whole, but they
will undoubtedly agree that he has
produced an informing and stimulating
work.
