the entire menage. They still refuse to
meet life in the raw.
It is hardly necessary to follow the
convolutions of a plot that rests its basic
reason upon a development of character.
To Peter, the youngest, eventually come
the realities of life. So do they to Magda,
to Rodney. But the Querril outlook re-
mains steadfast in the father and mother.
To the end they are the same, living for
one another, divinely rejecting life. Even
the wal does not move them. Therefore
we must both bless and anathematize
them. Through them the goodness of the
world endures and by their attitude the
badness in life still remains. 1t is an ex-
eremely fine thesis, worked out in splen-
didly rounded book, logical, carefully
written and full Of the poetry of fine
prose.

BY HERBERT s. GORMAN.
CTACY AUMoNIER has brought a
~ new type classification into fiction.
Are you Querrilf If SO, both bless and
anathematize youi
One may approach The Qserils, an
extremely brilliant example Of modern
analytic fiction, in dubious state Of
mind, regarding its premises with sus-
picious eye, but it is hard to believe
that one can put the finished book down
without stronger sense Of responsibility
toward oneself and a realization that the
starhness Of life may not be shut out
by hedge of love. The book does not
stand absolutely alone In its manner Of
composition. Faint memories of May
Sinclair's The Tree Of Heaven and St
John G.. Ervine's Changing Winds re-
turn In the midst Of its perusal. But
they are memories only. The QHerrils
may stand quite independent of them.
The war is present and has its moments
Of shaping the destinies OF the characters
in the book; but il is not the protagonist.
Life is the protsgonist.
Stacy Aumonier has taken a family,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Querril and their
five children, Magda, Evelyn, Martin,
Rodney and Peter, and presented them as
a type, showing how life batters down the
bastiors Of their equanimity and how
they meet these crudenesses Of existence
which heretofore they had complacently
ignored. To describe the Querril attitude
without running through many para
graphs perhaps it is well to use the
words of Tony Mcdowell, the one Amer
lean in the book and an invigorating and
delightful parsonage. Tony says to the
youngest son, Peter, "You know, Pete,
your people are too sweet. don't mean
in the jollying sense, / mean that they
really are too sweet. Family life is the
finest thing in the world-it's certainly
the happiest-but it can be overdone.
Biologically it's bad when it harries the
individual power of expression. Each
one Of your bunch ought to be taken and
dumped down separately into one of
those New Mexican towns where you live
right down ON the raw all the time. If
you're a gentleman you come through !;
If you're not gentleman you go under.
What it doesn't allow for-this
attitude / mean, this Querril outlook
is that in all the big things in life one has
to act alone. And this mutual
self efaeing business is bad for a race.
Unselfshness becomes selflessness." Not
exactly a new thought, perhaps, but
new as it is worked out in The Querrils.
They try so hard not to hinder one an
other that they get nowhere. They are
constantly trying to do what the other
members of the family would approve of;
for, above all things, they cannot hurt
one another's feelings.
This lovely, well behaved family, call
ing one another dearest" living in par
adise Of their own at Chessilton Heath,
unaware of the darker aspects Of life
through a superb ignorance that simply
refuses to admit the realities, is admir-
ably drawn by the author. The children
call their father George, that be may real
lie he is one of them. In their tennis
games how ardently they praise one an

q moment in dim passage by the old
caretaker, MIRA Grewbeer. The story
says, on page %; ssThe last image on her
mind Of the Rev. Drury was massive,
clerical, talking TO itself and adjusting It's
coat and comforter to forestall the cold
Of the evening air. Her reflections on
the interview, as she retrod the passage
they had come through, took the predic-
ton that she would know the reverend
gentleman If ever she come TO see him
again, anyhow But she never did, and
no man or woman born ever saw Uncle
Drury again alive"

TN common with the two great Victo-
Il rian novelists whose names are al
ways associated with his in the thoughts
of fiction readers, Dickens and Thack-
cray, William De Morgan left novel un-
finished when he died. But The Old Mad
house differs from The Mystery Of Edcin
brood and Denis Dual in that De Nor
gan's widow was so familiar with the
proposed outcome Of this tale that she
was able to furnish last chapter to the
book explaining its mystery and winding
up the careers of the principal charac-
tiers before she followed her husband
through deaths portals. Yet after COM
ing to the end of the novelist's work and
reading what Mrs. De Morgan has writ
ten this reporter feels that, SO far as
artistic beauty is concerned, Dickens and
Thackeray were the happier for leaving
their last novels unfinished In the case Of
EdUin brood the mystery remains COM
plete, the story is Dickens in perfec-
ton. In the case Of Denis Dxuai we have
that charming paper from the Cornhill
on the story which ends with his own
graceful and touching picture Of Denis
and Agnes in their old age as man and
wife. But in the case Of tbs Old Mad
house the added chapter is a distressing
anticlimax, an unskilfnl patch of burlap,
let us say, on the tail of mans dress
coat For my part I would have pre-
ferred to have the mystery of the Rev.
Drury Carterets disappearance remain a
mystery forever than to learn its solution
in the fashion it is set down here. When
a duchess halts in narrating love story
it jars upon ones sensibilities to have the
tale taken up in the unaccustomed rough
ness of peasants speech.
III.
Except in Joseph Fance De Morgan
has written no novel more exquisite than
The Old Madhoase; and all his other
mysteries fade into insignifcance when
compared with this. He communicates
this thrill IN the brief first chapter of the
tale when, after the Rev. Drury Carteret
leaves his widowed sister-in-law, she sits
bordering over the question Of bis re-
turn. On page we read: "She ex-
pected to see the old boy again shortly
at her sons wedding at any rate, if not
earlier-and the slight asperity of their
recent talk was not of the sort to call for
reconciliation; scarcely tiff, in fact.
But she was mistaken, for she never saw
him again" Once more we are moved by
the darkness of the mystery when Car
teret goes to look at the house of the
title with view to determining If it was
safe investment for his engaged ward,
Mrs. Carterets son Fred, and is left for

When Did Civil War End7

Ask anybody the date OF the Civil
wars end. The answer will invariably
be: April, 1895" But, In a literal
sense, that answer Is all wrong.
The supreme court declared that the
Civil war came to an end "at the pe-
riod designated In the proclamation Of
the president Of the United States"
That proclamation was dated April
2, 1866. Thus the Civil war came to
q formal conclusion on that date. not
In April Of 1865.

AFTER COMMISSIONS SCALP

state fish and game commission of
its dual control by political inter

menting on the movement, says:
"Since 1915 commercial interests
have dominated the commissions af-
fairs so completely that last years
record shows that only 3,694,170
game trout we're liberated, while ex-
penditures from the game fund were
$93,401.69, and that in the same
time $66,090.00 was expended from
the commercial fund, resulting in
the liberation of 35,395,155 salmon
fry. Not only have we failed to
liberate more trout as the years go
by, but we have actually seen the
number decrease. To this there is
only one answer. Absolute depletion
of our streams"

POLITICAL HIRELINGs

While the government employ
ment service is trying to lay the
foundation for demand for another
enormous appropriation for the con-
tinuance of its large personnel by
sending out publicity matter con-
cerning unemployment, the CLASH
fed advertising columns of the daily
press contain an overwhelming pre-
ponderance of advertisements for
help. The fact is that there is no
shortage Of jobs.
The war department refused to
adopt policy Of demoblization that
would insure getting the discharged
soldiers back to their homes, and the
result is that there is congestion in
some places, near demobilization
camps. There is some unemploy-
ment, due to men not being willing
to take the jobs available. But the
advertising columns of the daily pa
pers leave no doubt whatever that
there is more demand for help than
there is for jobs. The chief task of
the government employment service
at present is to secure new appro-
priation for the maintenance Of one
of the biggest deserving" organiza-
tions in the history of the country.
AS proof of this assertion, pick up
any daily paper and you will see ad-
vertisements for hundreds of work.

real sense of the word, though it's pur- pose is the same.
 It's double row of cavalry patrol stations, barracks buildings and mis- cellaneous structures, stretching from Brownsville, Texas, on the Gulf of Mexico, to Arivaga, Arizona, on the edge of the great desert
 At each of the fifty outpost stations one troop of cavalry-about 100 men will be on guard all the time, patron- ing the border between stations.
 Some distances back from these patrol stations will be another series of twelve posts which will constitute a sort of second line of defense" against the Mexicans. These twelve posts will be larger. and each of them will serve as a base for four or five of the patrol stations on the boun- diary. The complete system will house 10000 soldiers.
 The whole project will cost the war department approximately $6,750, 900, according to an estimate made by It. Col. O. P. Chamberlain, of the con- struction division of the army.
 The twelve main posts probably will be given the name forts" but the war department emphasizes the fact that they will not be forts in reality. but merely army posts, such as Fort

Bliss, Fort Ringgold and the other forts" already on the border.
 In explaining this project, Assistant Secretary of War Crowell declared it is primarily for defense against the elements, and not against the Mexi- cans. It is admitted, however that the patrol stations are for the purpose of guarding the border against in- vasions by Mexican bandits and cattle thieves. If any real trouble with Mexico should develop in the future well, the posts are there. That seems to be the attitude of the war depart ment.
 There are at present about 10000 soldiers on the border-all cavalry with the exception of the 18th Infantry, at Camp Stephen G. Little. These men have been out of luck during the war with Germany. Not only were they denied the privilege of going to the front and getting a crack at the Ger mans, but they have been living in tents for about seven years with few comforts and many hardships.
 Maj. Gen. Cabell, commander of the southern department of the army, has spent almost his entire military career on the border. He is typical of most of the other officers.
 Since the armistice was signed these soldiers have been making their com plaints heard, with the result that the war department decided to do some thing for them.
 The forces on the border are not to be enlarged now-but when these barracks are completed it will be an easy matter to accommodate twice or three times the number of men now there, if necessary.
 The buildings in the main will be small structures, one story in height, some wooden, some brick and some adobe.
