4 Soldiers Lore

Somewhere in France, carrying on her
work of mercy mon the French
peasants impoverished by the war. there
Is an American girl who Is the uncon-
scious heroine of a real omance of the
war. Unconscious. because the author
himself Is the hero and the manuscript
is the story of his love which somehow
he never confessed TO her. But he did
reveal his emotions on paper in the
security of his dugout. before he
va~nished-no, died. A British artillery
officer. who later found the bundle of
papers hidden away in the dugout, gave
them over for publication in the hope
that the girl whose sacred property they
are might thereby be found, Therefore
this touching tale of a soldiers love and
his life in the renches up to the very
day of his probable death is given over
to the reading public in the form of a
book which would sadden one to read,
IL 1t were not SO beautiful.

chapter is devoted to the account of the

mention of the famous Pocahontas, even
though some of her romantic story mag
be dtScredited by recent historians.
There is naturally much Of sameness in
the stories of the Indian exploits, chiefly
their methods of warfare, but a large
amount of information is given, much OF
it new to most readers: There are in
teresting portraits, showing an unusual
dignity and impressiveness. Maps and
an index would have added much to the
value of the book.

German BrutdIity

The persistency OF Private Simmons.

finally won him his freedom from the
German prison camp in which he had
been confined after W vain attempts
had brought him the severe punishment
which always fell to the lot of those
unfortunates who found themselves
back M the hands of the Germans. The
story of Private Simmons's experience
as a captive in Germany has been given
very adequate treatment by Nellie L..
McClung, who thereby shows that she
realized its worth as a commentary
upon the name In which Allied cap
tives in general were handled there. 1t
was Simmons's good fortune to be con-
fined in the beginning at the Giessen
prison camp. commonly regarded as the
''show" camp for the deception of neu-
trail observers. But at the Parnewinkel
camp things were different. Private
Simmons's account of the ~torturing there
of refractory prisoners is as narrowing
as previous reports in the past led us to
fear.

earlier romances of the French and

have been consuming quantities Of cot
ton for war purposes which Is value
less now. The shortage Of cotton and
clothes in Europe Is so great that we
overlook the shortage at home. The
manufacture Of goods for civilian use
in the United States in 1917 and 1918
is only 40 per cent of what it was in
1914. Our mills went on war goods to
the extent Of their capacity, the dry
goods stores are understocked, the mills
are running half time and everybody
waiting for something to happen. It
is going to happen and this domestic
shortage must be made up, hence in
calculating domestic consumption, you
must allow for forty per cent under
consumption. If the acreage is cut as
I confidently expect it to be, the price
of cotton will advance to a point where
consumption will be regulated to meet
the size of the crop. The mills here by
waiting to replenish their stock, will find
European manufacturers running the
prices up to clothe a people who have
been denied raiment for five years.
