precautions against the flooding Of

OF course the counterfeiter is al
ways with us. sometimes fairly sue
cessful for short time. more often
detected before his spurious product
gets two doors from home, But this
is a new deal. The money in Ques-
tion is said to have been printed in
large amounts by bolshevist groups
In Hungary. II includes the cur
rency OF many nations, and is in
tended to create financial panic and
arouse anger at the various govern
ments.
There is little danger OF the
scheme amounting to anything in the
United States. Methods for detect
ing counterfeit money are highly
developed, and the genuine article is
exceedingly difficult OF reproduction
So much so that, though we have in
this country some of the cleverest
counterfeiters in the world. the
amount OF bad money in circulation
is almost nil
The idea that the American gov
eminent can be overturned by any
such method is laughable. But to
prevent even slight annoyance the
authorities are taking more than
usual precautions. and widespread
publicity is given to the plot so that
banks and business firms as we'll as
individuals may be on guard.

4 Touching Easter Tale

1.-The Gift" by Margaret Prescott
Montague, is tcndcrly written,
touchingly conceived long short story on
the motives of war, Easter and
faith. Almost plotlcss so far as ac-
ton, complication or climax is con
ccrncd. it none the less holds interest
to the end-the resurrection Of absolute
belief in God in the troubled soul of
a clergyman. whose son has been killed
in the war. on the eve of his prepara
ton of his Easter sermon. Through
consolation of woman. stricken with a
fatal disease, whose only son has made
the supreme sacrifice in battle. his own
faith is renewed and fortified and he is
able to echo the dying words of his
blinded son: '"The Light, the Light"

RED-BLOODED
HISTORY TALES
Ed,cord Lucas Whites Short
Stories DitaIize the Past

Edward Lucas White. who in his two
historical novels has made vivid the per
iods Of his selected time and place and
made his people flesh and blood human
beings, not costume drama puppets,
speaking strange and strained dialogue,
has applied the same perceptve and vi
talizing methods to number of short
stories in 'The Song of the Sirens"
His locales vary through ancient
Greece. Rome, Europe Of the middle
ages and elsewhere. His people. in.
clude Anna Dido's sister, celebrated by
Ovid. Hannibal. Pompcy. Crassus,
Julius Caesar and other historical per
sonages, and number of fictitious
characters very believably drawn from
men and women in the moods and emo
tions of their humanity much like men
and women Of today. The several stories
are not merely historical narrations, cx-
tracted from the archives of archaeology.
but rcd -blooded stories with suspense.
excitement, and climax in their plots
Mr.. White does not go to Gibbons or
Grote, or to Thucydides or Livy. for II
skeleton of facts on which to drape the
toga or pcplum of historicity he goes
to life and invests his personages with
lifelikencss. His fiction is under no
mortmain of annalists and antiquarians
of the past; he is decidedly modern in
his expression. The reader actually sees
Greece, Rome, Carthage, Sparta: he
recognizes them as living cities, not as
names. just as New York or Chicago or
London lives for him in a realistic con-
temporary story.
'Iarbas,' having TO do with Acneas's
fight and Didos immolaton in pursu
ance of her vow; 'The Fasccs," built
about the first triumviratc and the
rivalry of Pompey and Caesar; and the
title story, all reach high water mark.

STORIES BY
PATRICK MdcGUL
"Glenmornan' Really Linked
Sketches Rather Than NoueI

"Glenmornan." by Patrick MacGill,
may be classified as Irish stories rather
than an Irish novel, for, although the
people and the places are the same
throughout and there is a sequence of
chapters, it is not the unified fiction
that blends plot, characterization and
motif into a novel. Rather it is n
connected narrative featuring imagina
tive personagcs in created situations.
but minus the elements of surprise and
suspense.
There are a number of quaint folk In
the story. Occasionally caricature
rather than characterization is Mr..
MacGilPs method. Sometimes there is
a suspicion that Mr.. MacGill has re-
vived the stage Irishman--not the Irish
man of the Abbey Theatre stage, but
the lrishman of the burlesque and music
hall stage. Doalty Gallagher does not
excite much sympathy-thc Glenmor-
nan born lad, turned London journalist,
and then returning to his people only
to find, as he thinks, that he has out
grown their naive ways, their simplicity
OF thinking and doing. Dennys the
Drover also finds the community too
restricted an area for his Drawn and
energy. Old Oincy Leahy, dry of wit
and tart of tongue, seems the most rep
resentative of the personages.
The purpose of "Glenmornan" is sup
posed to be a picturing of the fast van :
ishing Dark Rosaleen of Mangan, Davis
and the other Gaelic bands. The van
ishing is ascribed to the encroachment
of modernity. 1t is an ascription that
Sim Feiners both in this country and
In Ireland will vigorously dispute. They
Will have another reason for Dcnnys's s
lament that there is no progress in
Glenmornan, and no chance but to live
and die by toll on the sod.
In "Glenmornan' Mr.. MacGill has
made the mistake of trying to fictionize
land and race of romance in terms
of sort of hard realism. He writes
in glowing, florid style, with fine die =
tion and brilliant play of phrase and
with some notable descriptions, but
there is no Celtic magic about his book,
no warm hearted, sympathetic Hibcr-
nianism about it. 1t also lacks the
saving SAVIOR of Irish humor and only
occasionally flashes with wit. From
this distance it looks as if it would be
as popular with the Irish as "The
Playboy of the Western World"

THREE ATTEMPTS TO TELL WHAT BOLSHEVISM IS
BASIL KING WRITES
AN ALLECORY
Var Turns the World Into
Whitrnurts Civ of Friends

so many things could be said about
Basil Kings new novel. "The City Of
Comrades, that it is difficult to decide
which to say first. 1t reminds one in
way of "The Lifted VEIL" which
was the study of the sin of woman and
its effect on her life, because it sup
plements this novel by being the study
OF the sin of man and its effects on
his life. Thus it adds another to the
long series of theses which Mr.. King
has worked out. The book is also a
study in the processes of the regcnera
tion of the down and out. 1t might
be textbook for social reformers be-
cause of the faithfulncss of its exposi-
tion.
But Mr.. King really has written n
sort of an allegory, using for it's cen
tral idea Walt Whitman's dream Of
the new City of Friends, "invincible
to the attacks Of the whole earth"
where nothing was greater than the
quality Of robust love-" His hero is
young man who has gone wrong
through drink. While in the act Of
stealing jewels from house into which
he has broken his way, he is interrupted
by young woman who has pity on
him and tells him to go in peace. He
then decides to reform and goes with
companion to the Down and Out
club, made up Of men in like condition
or who have escaped from it. They
are pledged to help one another to the
last. There is n fellowship born of
a common terror of falling and a COM
mon desire to help the other fellow. 1t
is really City of Friends. Then the
war breaks out and as it progresses it
is shown to us that the nations have
sinned as the men in the Down and Out
club have sinned and that the duty of
the United States to help its sister ma
tions is as great as the duty Of the
men struggling upward to help their
comrades in order that the world itself
may become great City Of Friends.
This is the backbone of the book. 1t
is clothed in the flesh and blood of as
interesting love story as was ever
written, with heroine, tender and true
and so feminine when love overtakes
her that she needs to be protected from
herself. 1t may be objected that the
novel is too 'preachy." Perhaps it
is. but Mr.. Kings public will not OBJ
icct to that.

Annie Payson Call. a well-known ex-

applied the principles of that science to
the economy of nerve force on which
the war has made heavy demands. Its

winning the war. 1t has value, now that
the war Is over, for all those who find
themselves unable to conquer the petty
vexations of everyday life.

world because human labor was cheap and
men mad to work at any wages or starve.
farseclng and humane employers such as
Sir Robert Hadiield and Lord Levcrhulmc
recognized these facts long ago; they made
improvements in their own conditions and
hours and against great opposition. Sir
Robert told me that when he put the eight
hour day into effect at his Sheffield plant
some twenty years ago he would have been
driven out of business by local employers
had nc not had a large reserve capital to
back him up. The sole idea of the employ
crs was to get all that could be had out Of
the men at the lowest possible cost. Half
past five in the morning was the common
starting hour, and often they went on until
7 at night, and all for so shilings or so a
week The men of to day resent that treat
ment. and they feel that the employers
would bring back that condition if ever they
got back into power.
The trade union movement was of course
II protest against exploitation and the pri-
mary contention of trade unonism is also
protest against exploitation that is the
doctrine that a man must do just so much
and no more in day and should oppose
every improvement in machinery. This
doctrine grew out of piece rate payment;
when wages began to be based on the
amount of work done instead of the time
spent in the job, the men worked harder
and earned more money. Instantly the en-
ployers cut down the piece rates, so that by
working at this extra speed the worker
could make only what he formerly made al
no
prohibition against doing more than a
fixed amount in day. A Clyde shipbuidcr
told ME that he had to make Il great fight
TO introduce pneumatic rivcting machines,
and when he finally did get them in the
unions raised the piece rate and lowered
the daily limit, so that neither the cost Of
the work nor the amount done in DAY
would exceed that under the hand method.
The universal protest Of labor was in the
form OF strikes; an English worker never
thinks Of leaving his job when he docs not
like his pay or the conditions. IIc strikes
and his fellows 80 out with him. The
owner fights with the lockout and every
union has its fund sometimes very large,
indeed-to pay strike or lockout benefits.

me that ne expected strike OF some kind

The Shop Stewards
Are Missionaries

The Bolshcvk element saw that through
tho shop steward the mass of the workers
might be enlisted as such. instead of as
craftsmen, and they speedily captured the
shop stewards by some means best known to
themselves and quite unknown to any one
else As large employer said to nc:
"We hire radical ono day and the next
day he is a shop steward They seem to
push themselves right into the jobs
Nearly all of the shop stewards are Bel-
sheVlks and, therefore, the extreme radicals
have missionary in nearly every shop.

men were then out, every shop steward had

ing plants they were probably in as much
danger as the men in the trenches-ai-
though they chose the muntion work to
avoid the army. There is nothing heroic
about the English mlnition worker; he took
what seemed to he the better Of two bad
alternatives.
The increases in wages have been very
great, but on the whole they have, by no
means, reached the American scale; skilled
machinists, or engineers, as they call them
here, will get up to about 70 cents an hour
| have heard of no higher. For similar
work our mon would get about 90 cents. I'm
actual production per dollar are far
ahead on all kinds Of ropctityc work, but on
general work it is very difficult to deter
mnc the facts, for American labor had fall
ell to low state of efficiency with the war
If VIC had any general advantage, our very
rapid rate of labor turnover probably over
balanced it; the ordinary run Of English
strikes do not produce as much waste as
docs the frequent Job shifting Of the Amer
ican worker That is a point whore only
observation can be relied upon, for exactly
comparable performances are impossible.
The war taught the worker ono big thing
that without him the country can func-
ton neither in war nor peace Speakers kept
telling him that IN order TO spur him on TO
greater cNcrtion. lie took his position dur
ing the war. Now that a Kind of peace is
here he is equally determined to have a
place in society and to be able to rear his
family in some kind of comfort. That is a
perfectly reasonable desire, and have
found no section OF the English public
which is not i'll agreement with him.
But the rub, as usual, comes with the
"how' of it all. Tho first thing up was the
restoration Of prc-war labor conditions No
body wants those conditions back again.
l he employer does not want them, because
he secs that he must increase production
and rapidity Of capital turnover if he is TO
regain a grip on foreign markets; this he
cannot do with rules limiting output. The
worker does not want a return to long hours
and low wages. The compromise was sourht
to be effected by cutting the week down TO
forty seven hours and throwing away out

The workshops of England have had shop
stewards for many years. l know one shop
that had q steward twenty years ago. But
1t is only lately that they have acquired
power. The workers in a shop comprised
many unions and they expected to deal
with the employer as unions: but there
we're certain questions in which the whole
shop was concerned and which did not
come within union purvicw, such, for in
stance, sanitary matters TO form a
medium between the employer and the
whole body Of the employed, the men elect
cd representative known as the shop
steward. In large shops they had stew
ards for each department sometimes a
body of twenty or thirty stewardship
small shops had single steward Some of
tho unions recognized that these stewards,
representing the workers as a whole and
not merely the unions, were possible
menace to unionism, but other unions took
them in either officially or unoficjally. Rut
they served such useful purpose that grad
ually they spread and day they have
great influence
