II IDER HAGGARD, E. F. Benson,
IN Baroness Orczy, Jerome X. Jerome,
Granville Barker and Sir Arthur CUTLER
Couch all have said a good word for Pei
manism, we understand. Pelmanism is
described as a system of mind and
memory training. 1t comes in twelve les
sons, and then you go right on applying
what you have learned the rest Of your
life.
Mind and memory training! This ex-
plains everything. 1t explains how Rider
Haggard continues to turn out, when he
likes, the same sort of thriller that he
wrote in King SOl6mOn'S Mines and She.
His latest, When the World Shook, proves
that he has trained his mind and memory
while properly allowing his imagination
to run wild. If the mysterious Pelman
had trained Riders imagination the world
would be heavily the loser. E. +. Benson
does not show the results of his tutelage
so distinctly. But Baroness 0rczy-isn't
she there with the Same Stuff? We will
say so. Jerome h Jerome must have fall
len down somewhere about Lesson Four
Otherwise he would come through with
another Three Men in Boat, or Three
Men to Boat, or Three IN the Same Boat
you see what Pelmanism can do for Us.

Why These Authors Succeeded

if it's all it's cracked up TO be. All we re-
member is that j. X. j. years and years
ago wrote really funny story about sew
eraI men and "a nautical cOntraption and
has lost the formula since.
Anybody who read Granville Barker's
Picket: July, 1916, printed in Books and
the Book World some months ago will per-
ceive what Pelmanism has done for, or to,
Granville. This sketch described every lit
tie fleeing thought on a particularly I'M
eventful night of sentry-go. Granville
was there with the detail-meticulou was
the word for his impressions. Pelmanism
may or may not have helped Sir Arthur
Quiller-C Couch to remember, after the
lapse of wears. the formula for first rate
melo iTama so that he was able TO quit the
Oxford atmosphere and soak himself in
his corking tale, Foe Farrell. We can
only guess 1t seems to us that Barker's
is the really revelatory instance. Only
one deduction is possible, in the circum-
stances, as to the identity of the secret Mr..
Pelman. Who is meticulous! Who is
mindful of everything? Who has the most
exact, if most tedious, memory in the
worldf Who combines with a fine tooth
comb recollection constant desire to
make others more Intensive and Intense?
The real Mr.. Pelman is undoubtedly

continues: "If they were only my own
conclusions, there are some of them that
should doubt myself. 1t is hard to be-
heve, when one sees what is outTardly a
perfectly normal country with its people
quietly moving about, apparently fed and
clothed TO a normal standard, that there
may be impending catastrophe for such
people-a catastrophe that they them
selves do not dream of at the mament, a
catastrophe that may be marching with
the grim certainty that marks a tragedy.
But this catastrophe may be averted if
statesmen are wise enough and if Amer
lea is wise enough; for America is the last
hope of Europe" In some other words,
we helped to win the war, and now the ad-
ditional responsibility is put upon us Of

Some Aspirations of Russia

TOUR essays by as many writers have
Il been brought Areether by Sir Paul
vinogradoff in a pamphlet whose content
is fully indicated by its title, The Recon
straction Of Russia. The first paper, by
the editor, is devoted to The Situation IN
Russia, in which he makes plea that the
League of Nations treat Russia fairly, a
Russia to which he looks forward as a
people once again united and freed from
autOcracy, but not through Bolshevik
agencies. N Nordman, formerly of the
Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, de-
scribes Russia as an Economic Organism.
Mr.. Nonlman agrees with the writer of
the first essay that Russia must be united
to be safe and advances the special plea

helping to save Europe FROM the worst eff
fects of the war.
What this traveller saw in Europe was
that industrial production was not only
disorganized but paralyzcG, and this con-
dition affects the war zone and extends to
the industries of neutral countries. The
breakdown of transportation is something
more than its surface effect, it is a
tragedy, since hundreds of thousands OF
people have starved to death in the last
twelve months in Europe" not only for
lack of food, but owing to the breakdown
Of transportation.
Then there is the "chaos of currencies"
which sis enough to make Europe seem
like an economic madhouse," and the ex-
traordinary condition of international ex

ment takes it must preserve the unity of

indispensable for its further develop

change. In discussing the question Of
credit Mr. Vanderlip quotes an American
banker as saying that che would advise
his partners henceforth to keep very close
to the shore The writer's reply to this is
that keeping close to the shore might
result in having hole stove in his boat.
America cannot keep close to the shore.
We are launched, whether we like it or
not, in the worlds currents We have
moral responsibilities that should and
will appeal to us; but if VIC only look at
the situation on the narrowtst Of material
grounds, and look with clear vision, we
will understand how involved is our civil
lization with the civilization of Europe,
and we will comprehend what it will
mean if by failing Europe in her hour of
great need we permanently injurc the
fabric of civilization there"
In his interviews with leaders Of the
industrial world in Great Britain Mr..
Yanderhp has learned much of the new
ideas that have been put into practice
there in the way Of shorter hours of labor,
O participation of the workmen in the
government Of their industry. and other
reforms out of which he has drawn these
conclusions 81 have come TO feel" he
writes, ''that n liberalizing of the views
of employers and capitalists in respect
to labor will be followed by gain TO
both sides the value of which coul1 hardly
be measured. In that direction lies the
hope that America may make the same
sort of short cut TO industrial peace that
she made in freeing herself from Il life
of apprehension of military domination.
1t seems to me as clear as crystal that
along this road there lies not only great
moral satisfaction, but side by side with
that lies the greatest material prosperity"
Mr. Vanderlip sums up his conclusions
as to what we should do t. help Europe
from what has "happencd' to her in his
final chapter, An International Loan 10
Europe. He believes the problem is one
all the countries "and must be
so solved that there will be serious
and comprehensive effort made to re-
the industrial cycle in each one
Of the European countries simultaneously
If this is not done, there can be no
safety in financing any one of them"
He suggests a consortiur of bankers

lending nations" who should appoint an

this situation, one that he believes calls
for quicker action than is usually thought
Of in connection with such things. And

some such plan is carried into effect and
The peace of Europe is not turned
INTO chaos, politically, industrially and
socially. 1t is a programme that seems

WHAT HAPPENED TO EUROPE. By
FRANK A. VANDERBILT. The Macmillan
Company. $l.25.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-06-29
crank A. Vanderlip Rubs His Eyes Over Europe

THREE months of travel in Europe
Il has brought sea change Of varying
results 10 many an American as we know.
But on few of them has been wrought so
marked an effect on q mans business and
social viewpoints as is TO be observed in
the pages Of Frank A. Vanderlip's "un-
premeditated book entitled What Hap
pened in Europe.
The history of this little volume is not
the least interesting part of it. Mr.. Van
derlip arrived in England on February 2
of this year and sailed from there for the
United States on May 10. Meanwhile he
had visited seven countries of Western
Europe, including Spain, talking with all
sorts and conditions Of men, from kings
to commoners, statesmen, financiers, en-
ployers of labor and labor leaders. Then
in the five days he spent in making the
westward passage acre. he Atlantic he
dictated the matter comprising the 188
pages of his discoveries as to the things
that befell Europe while the war was In
the hostilities stage and since the armistice
was signed.
One of the first effects produced by this
story is that Mr.. Vanderlip seems to
have been too busy carrying out his duties
as a bank president since 1914 to pay
much, if any, attention TO the extraOrdi-
nary changes that were going on in Great
Britain in particular as a result of war
conditions. Labor had been striving to
bring about many of these changes for
considerable number of years. and when
Charles Edward Russell wrote about the
causes of these conditions only a few
years ago he was styled Socialist.
This war may not have brought any
spiritual uplift in lis train that we heard
so much about a year or two ago, but it
has effected a very great change in indus
trial and social conditions in England.
And it is these changes that are one of Mr..
Vanderlip's chief concerns. for France,
Belgium and Italy have been too much
exhausted with war, particularly in their
laboring element, TO have brought about
the reforms the observing world has noted
in Great Britain. Much of this last result
is due to the fact that labor in the
British Isles has actually become party
with political power, and it is q party,
moreover, whose leaders are men Of
brains, initiative and force.
We may look to the industrial ele-
ments of France, Belgium and Italy to
have their say in the future; now that
peace seems assured.
Mr.. Vanderlip points out in the pref
ace Of his book that to some travellers
hfe's appearances in the countries of
Western Europe, through which he trav-
elled might seem normal, and that they
might return TO this country ready to ode
scribe a Europe exhibiting little change
from pre-war days" But from the talks
be had with the leaders of the politi-
cal, financial and industrial worlds across
the Atlantic he has come to some con-
illusions that he calls Startling" He

SLUMP COMES IN
GARY ICE PRICES

The recent cool spell and the advent
of fall weather has caused a noticeable
drop in ice prices in Gary during the
past few days. when it took a slump
from the soaring price of si.00 and bet
ter hundred to so cents per one hun
dred pounds.
Announcement to this effect was made
by local ice com anies yesterday. Weeks
ago dealers were required 10 pay IS
cents per one hundred pounds for ice
made in Gary and 50 cents a hundred
for ice shipped into Gary from other
cities.
Today both kinds of ice is being sold
to the dealers for 40 cents a hundred
pounds. Taking into consideration all
overhead expenses the dealers and ped
dlerS think they arc not making any too
much when they sell it to the consumer
for so cents q hundred the prevailing
price. AS soon as the weather gets con-
siderably cooler another drop in prices
is expected.
