Soldier Says Pershing

Returned Veterans Would Not
Elect General to the Lowest
Office. Sergeant Declares

General Pershing was either respon-
sible for or in sympathy with the con-
duct of officers in charge of prison
camps in France, according to accusa-
tions against the commander of the
A. e. F. embodied in a letter written
by James W. Beckman, recently SER
geant major overseas, to the House
Military Affairs Committee. Mr. Beck
man says that Pershng is so dsliked
by his men "that he could not aspire to
the lowest Office in the land if he de-
pended upon their votes" and urges
that the permanent rank of general be
not bestowed on him.
Permission is also asked to present
evidence substantiating the charges.
"If Pershing did not know such con-
ditions existed throughout the Ameri-
can army abroad for almost year, he
proves his incompetence, the letter
says. "lf he knew of them, he is as
guilty as Hard Boiled Smith. That
he either ordered such reign of ter
ror or was in sympathy with it is
proved by the fact that after Hard
Boiled Smith was convicted and given
the rldiculously Inadequate sentence of
three years General Pershng reduce d

The Other World
Hyslop Develops the Case
For a Life After Death

i!y James Il. fIyslop. The Century erf ,,,I
Company. New YORK.
The impartial Investigation IF psvchic
phenomena has been seriously ham
pered in the past by ignorant credulitv
on one hand and by incorrigible scien
tine scephclsm on the other. The
1raudulent character of many spirit
uaustlc manifestations has served to
dlscredlt the whole field of psychic re-
search IN the minds of many scientists.
Dr Hyslop labors vigorously to
combat this prejudice, to demonstrate
that there is & real basis for belief in
the possibility of communication with
the dead and other SUPERNATURAL
processes. His work certainly cannot be
accused of lack of thoroughness; it is
one of the most complete historical and
philosophical studies of the subject
that has been published in the English
language AS secretary of the Amer
icaN Society for Psychical Research DR..
Hyslop has personally investigated a
great many alleged cases of psychi,,
phcnomena. Sitting out the spurious
and doubtful instances he is convinced
that actual communication with dis
embodied spirits has taken place on
number of occasions. In his opinion
mysterious "stream of consciousness.
which constitutes the essential element
III personality is continued after death.
DR.. hyslop lays stress upon the hu-
man appeal of his theories. Although
he does not advocate dogmatic religion
IN any form, he points out thatthe pos
slbllty of communication with the
dead constitutes d powerful argument
for immortality. He advances the
pragmatic arguments which are usually
brought up to support this contention.
lie deprecates the materialistic pes
simism which Is so prevalent in scien-
tihc circles and insists that spiritual
ism supplies the Foundation for more
optimistic Interpretation of life. d..
Hyslop's conception of the ethical sig
niicance of his psychic theories is
summed up in the concluding para
graph Of the book:
Were we mere animals without
ideals or hopes we might be Indifferent
to the course Of nature. We might live
III the present moment without doing
any violence to the moral laws But if
ideals encourage III us (. life above the
sensual we need assurance that nature
viii compensate US for the present
loss; and if we find that survival is a
part OF her schemes, the bitterness that
would haunt us if we were without
hope will be less poignant. do not
emphasize the joys of such hope or
OF its frultion. But we need an inter
probation of the world which will do
something to mitigate suffering, il we
cannot escape it, or to excuse it, if we
find 1T means to an end. The sadness
Of sunset is only sublime pathos when
we are assured of another dawn"

LudendorH's Book

Great interest is being shown both

on many obscure episodes that oc-
CURED in the Central Empires since
August, 1914, and nobody can speak
with more intimate knowledge of the
real part played in the war by the
1ormer Kaiser. Ludendorff is in q
position to write the book of the war
from the German point of view, and he
has done so. The American publica
ton is being undertaken By the
Harpers, who expect to have the book
ready by the early fall.
