seldom reaches beyond the experi- ences of the group Of poilus whom Barbusse has made so real that in reading about them one not only sees them, in their weakness and greatness, in their dumb misery and fleeting moments of something that approaches happiness, but is not that, that he can almost hear their voices. Each is a type sketched with a few bold strokes. but un- forgettable.
 It is stated that the French gov ernment suppressed Under Fire" for time, and small wonder. for it does not glorify war. On the contrary it makes war a thing to sppal. The poilus who for four years lived in the trenches and suf- fered hardships found there was no glory. no romance in what they were doing. But something held them there, something brought fortitude so suffer and endure. and to fight when the time came. They did not understand exactly what it was. but they had it, and it was this spirit which saved France and civilization.

 Empey won fame and fortune by his war books, the best of them over the Top" yet it is no eN- aggeration to say that Barbusse begins where Empey leaves off. The latter gave us a fairly ac- curate description of life in the trenches, spiced With humor. He did not go below the surface. he did not probe deeply into the souls of men. Barbusse not only brings the war before our eyes in all it's sordidnes and horror, not without some comic relief here and there. but he lays bare the soul of the poilu in the terse dialogue of which French writers are masters. His information was gained at first hand. Barbusse was himself a poilu. His book is the story of a squad. It deals in what may be termed the 'minutlae of war It

The Heart of the
World

The sick heart of the world will
break, President Wilson says, if the
American Senate does not pawn Amer
ican traditions, policies and American
future to the League of Nations.
Unless these jewels Of the United
States are pawned to the powerful en-
pires of Great Britain, France and
Japan the sad and distracted peoples
of the world will be hopeless, knowing
that deliverance has passed them by,
and that they are doomed to bondage
and woe, to the yoke and the galley, to
war and pillage.
If the United States Senate starts
the ark of the covenant on it's tri-
umphal march to peace, the downtrod-
den will raise their heads, the dis
pirited will arise and face the east, the
meek will be behind the bulwark of
peace and freedom will be clear-eyed
and brave.
What does Mr.. Wilson mean by
breaking the heart of the world? Does

not, by signing the covenant of the
