Daniel De Leon
Interest In Life of Man
Who Invented Soviet

DANIEL DE LEON: THE MAN AND HIS us
the National Execgtive Committee or
the Socialist Labor Party. New York.
Daniel De Leon is probably the
stormiest figure in the troubled and
obscure history OF the American So
cialist and radical labor movement.
His career as lecturer, agitator and
editor was marked by & series Of
furious factiQNal fights over various
questions Of Socialist principle and
practice. He denounced Debs and
Haywood, Morris Hili!GHl1 and Samuel
Gompors for different reasons, but
with equal vehemence. He Quarrellcd
with the regular Socialists because Of
their opporIunism, with the /. W. W..
because Of Their carly prediction for
lead pipe methods Of action. How
ever he always retained control OF q
small band OF devotees organized III
The Socialist Labor party, and when
he died iii 1911 he was mourncd by
them as the ablcst American cNpcnent
Of the true faith Of Marx.
Naturally. the present book, written
by q few faithful friends and admirers,
is more eulogistic than critical. The
his arrogance, his Intolerance, his in
ability to take an Immediate practical
view OF political and industrial prob
lems-are glossel over or denied. On
the other hand, the authors Of the
symposium emphasize, and perhaps eX-
aggerate, his keen and piercing intel
lect, his austore integrity in the midst
Of a crowd OF cheap adventurous.
Notwithstanding the obvious infirmi-
ties of his temperament and character,
1t is difficult to escape the conclusion
that De Leon is one Of the very few
really powerful minds that have up
poarcd in the American radical move
ment. He is Acknowledged as the
original author OF the Soviet idea by
no less an authority than Nikolai
Lenlne, who was astonished 70 find the
whole Bolshevik system Of representa-
ton based on economic function,
Tather than on geographical location,
worked out in ono OF De Icons pam
phlcts.
Under favorable circumstances De
Icons energy and ability might we'll
have made him a notable Historical
figure. But, living in country and
an age that had no taste for revolution,
he was doomed to lead half-comic
half pathetic existence, absorbed in
petty sQuabbles over the "contror of
a party which could scarcely muster
enough votes 10 gain legal place on
TIE baHot and writing dcnunciat!ons
Of the capitalists and appoals to lhe
workers which neither capitalists nor
workers ever read. In addition to its
biographical sketches of De Leon. the
book contains full il somewhat
biased description OF the cross-cur-
rents IN American radicalism during
the past three decades. W. Ii. c.

Religion Before and After War
Asked to Name Five Cardinal Sins,
Soldiers Give Illuminating Answers

s0CIAL STUDTEs OF THE VAR. BY
published by the George H. Doran
Company.
DR.. Clark has worked over and ex-
panded in this volume the interesting
articles which he wrote for The
Tribune "Thc st. Louis Republic" and
some of the religious newspapers oe the
United States. He went to the front
twice for extended periods-once as a
correspondent and once as an agent of
the Young Mems Christian Association.
His purpose was to study, both among
the soldiers and in the principal cities
of Great Britain and France, tho effects
of the war on morals and religion. lie
expresses his opinions with extreme
openness and confidence. There may
be some exaggeration in them for that
reason. But they challenge attention
not only because they differ widely
from the reports Of most other socio-
logical observers and are based on
sincere and we'll fortified conviction.
rr. Clark says that the war has
greatly diSOrganl2ed the social Struct-
ure in Europe and led to a widespread
relaxation Of moral standards -espe-
cially among women. But this is an
almost inevitable result Of great and
long wars. AS to the effect Of war CON
ditons on religious faith and practice,
experience is less uniform. Many wars
have been accompanied by religious re-
vivals. The soldier, certainly, living in
the face of death, has awakened in him
all the spirituality Of which he is capa-
bic. DR.. Clark continually testifes to
the univcrsality of religious feeling at
the front. Practically every soldier
carried a New Testament with him.
The question an acute observer had to
solve was how far this sentiment was
related to the orthodox faith held and
preached by the various organized
churches.
The author sees only n distant rela-
ton between the soldiers religion and
that of the pulpits. The soldier has
natural religion" Is it nearer to
Christianity or paganism? At least 1t
differs widely from the convent onal
