mans man-one who was loved and
respected by his fellow students in
school and college and afterward by
men with whom he associated in bus
iness--a big hearted, clean, CHEEKY
nature, looking at life with big,
broad vision.
These are the qualities in men that
draw them closer to others and make
them long remembered as those who
leave heritage worthy of tender
memory.
He was the first child born to Rev.
and Mrs. Laudeman, coming to them
when life and its first dreams made
the world seem to them very fair, and
when they saw, far down the trail
which could only end in something
wonderful for their first born. Now
when years have passed and youth
dreams are over, they still felt that
life was doubly sweet for them, be-
cause the child had not disappointed
them when he became man, for he
was winning, despite i'll health,
against the odds of the worlds strug-
gle.
He has gone onward-not dead
but living, loving, caring for his own
and the way from Here to There is
more pleasant pathway because he
has gone over it.
Claude Omar Laudeman was born
in Brennan, and was 26 years of age.
He was educated in the schools of
Rochester and Dayton, graduating
from the last-named school. After
ward he took two years. course at Wi
mona, and was preparing to enter law
school when his health failed. He
was then taken to Colorado, where he
rapidly improved and became once
more strong and vigorous. While
there he met and wed Miss Mary Loud
of Baraga, Michigan, and to them was
born little son, Claude Omar Laude-
man, Jr.
During the epidemic of influenza
Mr.. Laudeman was stricken but soon
recovered his usual health. Mrs. Lau-
deman ond the baby then came east,
expecting the father to follow and
spend some time in Rochester. The
end came as result of pneumonia,
the attack defeating the skill of ply
sicians to combat the disease. Par
ents, wife, child and two sisters, Miss
es Faye and Fern Laudeman, survive
the deceased.
The remains will arrive some time
Sunday. The funeral viii be held at
Evangelical church Tuesday afternoon
at 2:30, Rev. D. o. Wise, of Berne, Of

CROOKED EYE, WESTPHAL?

The newly elected village council

fore the board for the village printing,

job as a Creek Tragedy

Biblical students and students Of
ancient literature generally will be
profoundly interested in Horace Meyer
kallen's exposition of his theory that
the Book Of Job was originally written
in the form of Greek tragedy after
the manner of Euripides Professor
George F. Moore. of Harvard Univer-
sity. who writes an introduction to the
book, regards the hypothesis as deserv
ing serious attention. Indeed, il is not
new. as it has been set forth several
times in the past centuries.
Mr.. Kallen justifes his theory by an
elaborate and scholarly examination of
all the evidence bearing upon the sub
ject. After setting forth his theory he
writes an essay on the Joban theory
of life and concludes his book by a
rearrangement of Job TO conform to the
dramatic form of Greek tragedy. with
prologue, epilOgue and choruses. In
this form it has been acted twice at the
University Of Wisconsin and once at
Harvard.

Fdguet on Nietzsche

Emile Faguct. of the French Acad-
emy. wrote a book on Frederic
Nietzsche some years before the Amer
lean public began to attempt to under
stand the workings of the German mind.
His view of the remarkable man does
not agree with that which has been
popularity held during the war. He re-
CARDS Nietzsche as n product of condi-
t1ons in Germany and not as the cause
OF them. and while disagreeing with
many of his propositions. he yet has
profound respect for the mans intel
iectual integrity. Faguet's conclusion
Is that the gist of Netzsche is TINT n
man has right to form personal idoas
because only personal ideas have the
consistency which we need to sunrort
ourselves and because one can lean
strongly and firmly upon no one but
one $ self. The book has been trans.
lated into English by George Raffolo.

4 SERIOUS NOVEL,
BUT ENTERTAINING
'Mummery" Strips Grease
pdintFrom Stage and Hide
From Pseudo-Art

Because Gilbert Cannan's new novel
"Mummery" is serious 1t is by no means
unentertaining. In fact it is distinctly
entertaining for novel with a purpose.
Just what the purpose is is difficult to
understand except it be deliberate
1aying, animated by the sarcastic spirit
of Archilochus or the satiriC intent Of
the mordant dean Of st. Patrick's, al
though developed with all the modernity
of psychology and modernism of atti-
tude that Mr.. Cannan knows so well
how to employ-of pretentiousncss and
pretense in art.
Only two Of the seven arts are sub
ject 10 Mr. CGnnans fine and subtle
ronies-drama. including both the man
ager. the playwright and the actor. and
painting. the painting of self advertise
mcnt and of splashy ideals and unreal
ideas. He scrubs the grease paint off
the face of Thespis. The playwright, who
eventually becomes the hero. at least in
SO far as he wins the love Of the heroine,
is pretty stick for hero. lie writes
plays that are not produced, but that
does not worry him. for he recognizes
the current incompatibility between the
drama and the theatre. The heroine, or
at least central feminine figure. who is
Just bit too poised and perfected. is
II player whose first night triumph as
Ariel is spoiled by her realizing sense
of theatrical commercialism she feels
too late the declension of the actor from
a creator and interpreter to a bas- re
lief figure against painted back drop.
She has three love affairs, with an art
ist whom she goads into achievement
with young nobleman who angels the
production in which she is appearing
and with the dramaturgic idealist to
whom she finally gives her own ideal
istic heart.
Mr.. Cannan presents very vividly the
conflict between the high ideals Of high
art and the Vaccinations and machinery
! OF art as commercialized. But one feels
that although his ironic and critical
animadvcrsiOns are interesting and war
rantcd they offer nothing that is gen
uinely corrective and constructive
toward the betterment of matters. But

Symons on Symbolism

The discriminating and scholarly hook
on the symbolist movement in litera
turp which Arthur Symons wrote ten
or dozen years ago now appears in a
new and revised edition. with its COM
ment brought up TO include the latest
symbolistiC developments. Symbolism
in litaeture, as is well known, is the
impulse to know and express in convcn-
tional forms the underlying soul of
whatever exists. Symons begins his
examination of the movement with
Balzac and carries it on through Meri-
NEE. Gautier. Flaubert, Baudelaire, the
Goncourts. Malarme, VerlainP and 9th
prs to Maetcrlinck His comment on
the methods Of these men is keen and
penetrating and his study of the sub
iect to which he has addressed himself is
probably the best in the language. Mr..
Symons has included photographers and
notes. and his own transatiOns of a
number of poems by the men discussed.

THE BRAVE BOYS
WHO VENT TO VAR
Booth Harrington Has Tried
TO Describe Them Al in
Ramsey Milhollond'

Booth Harrington attempted big
thing in his latest novel, no less thing
than to interpret the soul Of the aver e
age American boy who went to France
to fight. He has succeeded after a
fashion. but his failure where he has
fallen short is due to his method rather
than to his inability to comprehend.
On its surface the book is the biography
of boy from his grammar school days
to his junior year in college. when he
enlists in the regular army to be among
the first to fight the Germans.
Mr.. Harrington has deliberately
drawn n realistic picture of the life
of the boy. youth inarticulate and not
gifted intellectually. but with the solid
qualities which every one knows reside
In the youth of the present generation.
He passes through the ordinary ex
periences of school days, has senti-
mental attachment for girl and is
deeply wounded when she turns him
down, and all the time has a sneak
ing admiration for another girl, OF
whom he cannot say mean things enough
when he talks to her. His college life
is like that of thousands OF others. The
truthfulness of the description will BIZ
recognized by every one familiar with
college boys. Ramsey is made as neal
like type of his kind as possible. There
is no suggestion until he enlists that
he had given any serious thought tc
the war or what it meant. He had sale
