MOMENTOUS DAY IN HISTORY
Julius Caesar Said to Have Landed in
Britain on Twen.y-seventh Day
Of August.

According to calculations carefully
made and that. at the least. estah-
fish probable case. August 81 is the
anniversary of the landing Of julius
Caesar in the island of Britain.
In his wars that resulted in the con-
quest OF Gaul, or modern France. Ju-
Illus Caesar kept a journal, in which
he recorded all his operations. He
called II, commentaries" and II has
been pronounced to be perhaps the
best record of campaigns ever writ
ten by a general in the field.
In the midst of these operations he
found time to cross the channel and
pay a military visit to the land known
now as England. but not so known
then, for the ancient Britons then IN
habited the island. He states the year
of that visit, which. according TO our
calendar. was IS b. c. He also states
other facts which enabled the calcu-
latlon as to month and day to be
made.
Caesar in his journal. or "Commen-
taries.' relates that he set out on the
expedition when little Of summer re-

Scouting Thrills"

A LTHOUGH Scouting Thrills was
/ n written for boys, it is difficult to
imagine q man grown so OH that he can
not again be a boy and live in the ad-
ventures of Capt. G. b. Mexican, q medal
man of the Canadian army, who writes
plainly and sincerely of the experiences
of scouts in the war.
The book is a collection of vivid mar
ratives, each Of which Capt. Mexican
personally sketches. The stories move;
there is action everywhere and all the
time.
Scouting was but little known to. the
civilian public. But it was vital to the
armies. The patrols that sometimes
clashed in No Mans Land were almost al
ways composed of scouts, each side trying
10 learn the secrets of the others position.
And these patrols with few exceptions
worked in the darkness Of night, where
each shadow might conceal death, 1t
was the scout who crept through the
enemy's wire and peered into his trenches
to learn how they were manned; it was
the scout who Kidnapped the outpost
sentry and took him struggling across
No Mans Land to pump him, and it was
the scout who organized and led the raid
ing parties.
But all through the adventure wherein
death was the expected, the scout was
ever finding something humorous. Con-
sequently there is a vein Of fun, a comic
relief, through all these narratives.
Capt. Mexican might have told more of
himself; he leaves the reader but a vague
impression of his personality, due I'M
doubtedly to his modesty. However,
Governments saw through him and pinned

Mr.. Benson Deals
in Evil Spirits

THE wave of spiritualism in England
l. has splashed its way into E. F.
Benson's latest novel, Across tie Stream.
1t is study not merely Of psychic phe-
nOmena, but of communication from be-
yond the grave and also demoniac posses
sion. Those whose belief stops short
with telepathic manifestation will find in
terest in Archie Morris's ability to sit in
the garden and speak to Jessie the words
which Harry is writing down in a room
in the house. Those who believe in mes
sages from the beyond will devour the
story-the strong current of the book
of Archie's communication with his dead
brother Martin, lad of whose existence
Archie was ignorant until, as a small
child, his pen began to write simple mes
sages from Martin.
Persons who insist that when word
comes from the other shore it is pretty
certain to be the work of Satan will ac-
cept as credible the apparent thrusting
aside of the innocent spirit of Martin by
the demon that changed Archie from a
clean, sane, sober young Englishman TO a
lying, hard drinking scoundrel. Jessie,
the fine girl of the novel, feared the COM
ing of the evil one:
"My dear, do be careful If in some
hor-
cess which is denied to almost all man
kind, do use it only in truth and love and
reverence"
You're frightened about it, said
Archie.
81 know I am. If Martin can come to
you, why should not other spiritsf Other
spirits, intelligenees terrible and devilish,
might deceive you into thinking that they
were he"
Archie saw the philosophy of that, for
one day Martin had come to him-after
automatic writing had been succeeded by
direct eommunieation-and, after warn
ing Archie against evil, had said that he,
Martin, could not come again.
But Archie went on. It was the great
pleasure of his life to go to his room at
night and, focusing his gaze on a moon
stone stud, wait for his supernatural
caller-that which he still called Martin,
but which whispered to him that there
was no good except pleasure. 1t would be
unfair to tell of the grand smash at the
finish.
There are two women in the book, sis
tiers; and they cannot but remind the
reader Of the Madison sisters in The FLrt.
Mr.. Benson's Helena is Mr.. Tarkington's
Cora, but far more malevolent, more
hypoeritical. She compels Jessie to hate
her, while Cora Madison was never so
evil that Laura did not love her.
Needless to say, the novel Is well writ
ten.

Poems by Clement Wood
and Mrs. Robinson

BY CONSTANCE MURRAY GREENE
THE EARTH TURNS SOUTH IS a
second book Of poems by Clement
Wood, whose Glad Of Earth was pub
hshed in 1917.
''Tiie earth turns south again.
Nipped by the sunless spaces, chilled and
timorous,
She seuttles back toward the summer
glow.
"My life turns south again.
Rounding the venturesome sweep of thirty
years,
Back on my orbit l 60,
My eyes absorbing what hes beyond
In the untrayeIled cold spaces.
Once more the tender glow Of summer
for me,
And I shall turn north for the last time"
This is selected from a group entitled
4 Star Comes Singing. Mr.. Wood is
ambitious and frequently arresting, with
an extremely large variety of moods, as he
has shown US before On the whole his
moods are less violent than in 1917, posi-
bly, in preparation for the last turn north;
and we suspect, perhaps falsely, that he
has become more conservative. One of the
straws which show the way the wind is
blowing is his abandonment of simpliied
spelling, and We find no companion pieces
here to such of his early poems, as 4
Psalm Not of Darid and To Any ReUola-
ZIONIST.
Two things more we would mention:
first the fact that Mr.. Wood disagrees
with Arthur Guiterman, who gave as one
in a list Of "Dont's to Poets" published in
an interview with Joyce Kilmer, Don't
write poems to unborn babies; and next
the strong new note which has been added
to his work In the introduction of negro
dialect verses. He speaks in non-dialect
poem of the negro's ''slouehing jungle
grace" and he interprets his spirit in
group of poems, from which We quote a
brief passage:
