long cruises alternating with shore
duty. But we cannot refrain from giving
a list of them. Those connected with the
navy include an electric log, a magazine
rifle, a range finder which he developed
with many improvements in later years; an
automatic machine gun (the patent Of
which he unfortunately allowed to lapse
and the basic principle of which was later
used in the Colt and Browning guns),
stadimeter, an electric motor that was
afterward developed into the electric am
munition hoist, method of pointing gun
at sea, telescope sight for ships guns,
practical application Of electricity to
moving a ships turrets, an electric wire
less scheme, a speed and direction indica-
tor, a position finder, a turbine driven
torpedo, horizoineter, sounding machine,
naval telescope and mount, combined
range finder and turret, and his torpedo
plane-the torpedo being, in his opinion,
the weapon Of the future and Of enormous
potential value
In addition to these military inventions
Admiral Fiske developed some CONNER
cial patents of which he writes with much
humor. Chief among these are q me
chanical pencil and an improved stock
ticker, the first of which brought him q
royalty of 81 900 just when he wanted to
marry Miss Josephine Harper. The check
enabled him to buy an engagement ring;
they were married in 1882. Another Of
his good stories is about his stock ticker
machine, which he sold to Gen. Eekert Of
the Western Union for 800; week later
he turned up with better idea that
Eckert paid 800 for, after inquiring:
"Are you going to come over here once a
week to get $7G07"
Most amusing are the chapters in which
the writer tells of his experiences in
France and Italy showing his range

r OUIS WILKINSON'S novel, Brute

r OUIS WILKINSON'S novel, Brute
l. Gods, is one Of the first modern
English sex novels to be quite free of self
consciousness. BY "sex novel; l mean the
sort of book that is thoroughly in earnest
in the business of laying bare the inmost
springs of the emotion Of man and woman
in their closest relationship. There is, OF
course, a great deal of "sex" In modern
novels, but only in rare instances is the
author willing, or able, to make sex his
rrotagonist and allow the rest to shift, as
il were, for itself.
In Brute Gods we have a novel that is
scarcely a novel at all, though there is no
valid reason why that general term
should not be made to include it. The plot
counts for scarcely anything and the char
acters fail to arouse the same interest II.
us as the psychology. Brute Gods is a
novel Of sex psychology.
Louis Wilkinson introduces US to the
Young and amiable Alec, a callow youth
to whom the subject Of sex has been
largely closed book. His father, mid
die class snob who has ruined the lives of
Two wives by what may be termed his SEX
uality, his brutality and his snobbish ego
tism, is a type commonly found in fiction
nowadays, particularly English fiction:
domineering, intolerant, vain, sensual.
Alec naturally breaks loose from parental
authority and begins to work out his sex
salvation for himself. Brute Gods is con-
cerned with his efforts to find himself.
The originality Of the book lies in the
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-11-02

finder to the naval authorities of those
countries.
The frankness with which be tells these
tales is also marked throughout the many
stories he tells of himself In his efforts to
impress his brother officers with the tech
meal importance Of some Of his mven-
tons. He makes no bones of confessing
that at times he wondered if he could be
insane over ideas that were so indiferentlJ
received by his professional associates.
Meanwhile he was gradually being pro-
NOTED, making long cruises, taking part
in the Battle of Manila-where he sat in
the foretop Of that ship with MS stad-
imeter, the first time fire control was thus
practised in naval battle The end Of his
sea career came when he was on the Flor
ida N command of the Third and First
divisions Of the Atlantic Fleet
".
With Chapter XXXIV. begins what he
later describes as 'the unhappiest period
of my life" This was when he assumed
the duties of aid for operations at the
Navy Department February s, 1913,
twenty-five days before Josephus Daniels
became Secretary OF the Navy. That the
succeeding chapters, in which he tells Of
his relations with Mr.. Daniels, are, to him,
at least, of great importance Admiral
Fiske shows in his preface. He writes:
Il realize that I am exposing myself to
the charge of INSTRUMENTATION by relating
certain incidents that occurred while /
was aid for operations and afterward.
But the Secretary's official statements
about me before the House Naval Com
mittee on April 8, 1916, and especially
his statement: IF the law had not
provided a chief Of operations instead of
an aid for operations 1 should have asked
him (me) to retire (as aid for opera

amazingly truthful and Interesting way
these efforts are described. Never for an
instant is the morality" Of the situation
called into question by the young man;
bis fathers cut and dried religion" has
killed nearly every trace of conscience in
the ordinary sense Of the word. His
actions and thoughts are stripped bare of
all hindering externals: be is allowed by
the author to develop through each stage,
and his development, conveyed 70 the
reader without circumlocution and without
affection, is the pith of the book.
Alee's adventure is only the starting
point, we feel, even though he at last de-
termines to enter a religious order; he is
temperamental and impulsive; as his phil
Csopher friend Wilfred says: "You SEQ
you've sown your wild oats in
such tearing hurry that the crop won't
grow. Not in the right way. That's
what Tn afraid of. You'll have to do it
all over again. You always were impa-
tent" We cannot believe that Alec's de-
cision is final and we are left wondering
But the author may want US to wonder and
there is no use quarrelling with him for
that.
What l do quarrel over is the intrusion
into this study Of sex psychology of one
almost dominating thread of interest, the
struggle of the laborers and the local cap
italist. This occupies many pages and
threatens for time TO overthrow the bal
ance Of the narrative at crucial point.
However, we forget this as we accom-.
pany Alec on his precarious journey in
quest of the true meaning of love. The
poor fellow does not find precisely what
he seeks, but he does begin "to under
stand"
And the book helps US to understand.
Brute Gods is hardly great contribution
to the art of fiction, but it is an honorable
attempt to deal almost exclusively with
the development of sex impulses In an
adolescent in clean, sincere and enlght-
ening manner. IF it does no more thar
reveal the esthetic improperly, the artistic
utility of endeavoring to write an IN
vanished sex novel, devoid of romance,
stripped even of the legitimate glamour
of youthful love, it VIII have accomplished
a great deal But it does more than that:
it reveals a corner Of life, or what has
until lately been RELOCATED to corner in
life; for this service Mr.. Wilkinson must
he cited for honorable mention. y. III. c.

impression more or less widespread that

"Navy officers know that this is the

that these measures were afterward

pared for war and well handled during
the war. owe it to myself, to my family
and to the navy to state the exact facts Of
the case, and with such fullness as the
small limits of book permit, this do"
Admiral Fiske then devotes seven chap
tiers to the history of Secretary Danielss
treatment of him and the controversy
that arose over Mr.. Daniels's statement
that he never had seen Admisll Fiske's
now famous memorandum of November
3, 1914 No better proof of Admiral
Fiske's fair mindedness could be found
than In the handsome compliments he
pays Daniels as the man, or In his notes
that the trouble he found with the Sec
Rotary was that the latter could see the
navy as whole, as a single fighting ma
chine. Nowhere can he be said to be at
all bitter In his com< nts. He permits
The facts to speak for themselves, trusting
to them alone.
The five final chapters in the book are
devoted to a discussion of the war, the
place of aeronauties in it, the rejection by
the Navy Department without triaD Of
his torpedoplane, its triumph, and the
presentation to him by the Aero Club Of
America Of its gold medal for this in

dEhE are Two appreclatlOns OIL
l. Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske
quoted in his autobiography entitled
From Midshipmdn to Rear admiral: A
Record Of Forty-nine Years IN the U. s..
Macy that sum up completely that phase
Of his career for which his name is most
widely known. One of these is in Ad-
miral Fiske's preface: at has often been
said to me that l did more to increase the
power of navies than any other one man."
The second is the testimony of a brother
officer, who said to the Admiral in refer
ence to his inventions Of the range finder
and the telescope sights for naval guns,
"You have changed gunnery from an art
to a science"
1t will be observed that both these com
ments allude TO the inventive side of the
AdmiraPs genius; and that aspect of his
life is indeed likely to obscure this greater
thing; it was his profound and passionate
interest In his work as a naval officer that
led him to invent so many devices Of vital
and lasting moment to military art.
II.
Whether OF not most inventors begin
to display the tendency at so early a
period of their youth as did Admiral
Fiske this reviewer does not know. In his
case he was potentially inventive when
he was about II He was born in Lyons,
n. Y, in 1854, and it was while his father
was rector Of an Episcopal church in
Cincinnati, between 1865 and 1868, that
young Bradley asked him what an in
ventor was. The first thing he ever ae-
tually tried his hand at was a sleeve but
ton (which was in two pieces" a device
that came out later under different hand
and which chad a great vogue for many
years" without any profit to the future
Admiral, who, of course, knew nothing
of the practical side of inventing in
those days.
In fact, he went to the q. S. Naval
Academy in 1870, left it in 1874, made
his. first cruise as a Midshipman from
San Francisco to the Sandwich Islands,
and returned to the Fiske parsonage out
side of Chicago to prepare for his
Ensign's examination before any more in
ventive conceptions were quick in his
active brain.
His next was a typewriter, originally
worked out on board his first ship, the
Pensacola, but not actually constructed
until the winter after he had passed his
Ensign's examination and was on "wait-
ing orders at home. Two patents we're
granted him for this machine, winch did
not work very welP' and was never Of
any profit to him.
1t is significant Of Admiral Fishes
persistent interest IN applying his inven-
tive ability to military art and the fur

GREENVILLE GIRL ATTACKED
BY BOWLING GREEN NEGRO

Bowling Green, KY, April 49,
Miss Frances Stallings, of Greenville,
KY, student in the Bowling Green
Business University, was struck by
heavy blow by an unknown negro
Tuesday night at the home of Prof.
L. T. Dickey, 1142 College Street.
She was rendered unconscious and
the negro made good his escape.
Bloodhounds belonging to Town
Marshall Harry Stone, of Smith
Grove, trailed the negro five blocks
to the corner of Eleventh Street and
the L. & N. railroad. It is thought
that the purpose of the negroes visit
to the Dickey house was robbery, as
it has been only few nights since
some one entered the house and stole
some money belonging to one of the
young ladies.
Miss Stallings was alone. Miss
Fannie Harper, Of Mississippi, enter
ed the house after the negro made
his escape. Miss Stallings is daugh-
ter of the Rev. William M. Stallings,
pastor Of the Baptist Church at
Greenville, KY, and was formerly of
Smith Grove, this county and George
town.

BELGIUM TO DECLINE
BRINGING EX-KAISER
BAR OF JUSTICE

Paris, April 1S.-The Belgian dele
cation to the peace conference to-
DAY informed correspondent of the
Associated Press that Belgium had
not been officially requested by the
council of four to bring the former
German emperor to trial and that
Belgium would feel obliged to de-
cline to take the step. The Belgian
delegation hold that any action
should be taken by commission re-
presenting all of the Associated pow
ers.
The official Belgian view, it is said,
is that the former emperor cannot
be arraigned for declaring war or
violating the neutrality of Belgium
or for any act preceding and coinci-
dent with the declaration of war Aft
ter pointing out there is no tribunal
competent to hear such charges
against the kaiser, and no provision
of international law covering such
cases, the delegates said Belgium ex-
poets the persons guilty of acts pun
ishable, under the criminal codes of
any belligerent powers should be
placed on trial as the fact that of
theft, murder and other crimes were
committed during war does not re-
lieve criminals of responsibility.

ANIELLo sPAMANATo,

Private, Company L, s57th Infantry.
Private Spamanato was decorated
for conspicuous gallantry in action
near Montfaucon, France, October %
1918. Private Spamanato was on pa.
troll with three other soldiers when
they were fired upon by hostile ma.
chine gun fifty yards in advance of the
line. After several hand grenades had
been thrown at the machine gun nest
one of the crew was seen crawling
away. Private Spamanato killed this
man with his rifle and then rushed the
nest alone, capturing the gun and the
three surviving members of the crew,
two others having been killed by the
grenades. Private Spamanato's wife
lives in Semitic province, Caserte
Italy.
