A Padre in France
Is a Joyful Book

mineham N pubisired 9rA' by II the u George a e'f #.
Doran Company. Price $3.50.
He was a good sport, this padre, and
just the kind they needed over there
When he landed in France his first
bath came out Of tin cup of water
drawn from the side of an engine A
friendly young subaltcrn assisted in
his first purchase. "In this country
when you want soda water you 5ay
%, gas us!'" And actually in answer
to this singular request a siphon was
forthcoming.
Camp conditions were fairly good
IN the British expeditionary force, and
his soldier servant proved an expert
darner, having always mended his
wifc's hose at home. The oil stove,
however, was source of trouble, and
returning one cold and stormy night
the padre found the hut was full of
acrid smoke and black smuts A chap
lain may not swear, but the tempta-
tion was great. Fortunately, one ia
miliar with the Psalms has gained a
certain command of language that can
be used effectively and without scan
dal. so the situation was saved
"a Padre in France" is full of wit
and humor, as might be expected of
book by the author of General John
Regan," but it also deals in serious
vein with many problems of the camp
workers, both ecclesiastical and others.

Old Book Shops

1t is interesting to note the differ
ent scales of prices prevailing in the
second-han book stores. Take the most
ordinary book; go into half dozen
different shops, and you will find it
priced anywhere from so cents to SIPS,
according to what the bookdealer thinks
it will fetch. In New York there are
few proprietors of old book stores who
claim to be photographed experts.
What they have is a certain business
sense, and with the aid of "Book Prices
Current they manage to recognize
most of the valuable books that come
into their hands. Not all, however
Many books, especially if they are
foreign works, escape their attention.
In the same way that it is possible to
pick up valuable Americana in the
quaint little book stalls on the quais of
Paris-quite a number have been
bought there for a few cents-it is pos
sible to pick up minor French rarities
in New York for very little money. On
inquiring after French books, unless
the shop specializes in them-most
of them do not-one is referred to a
stack of rubbish" in a dark corner

10 Write Fresh Lyrics

SONGS WHILE WANDERING Bv
1rd 1Newperry f Choyce, Published by John
Lane company. 1874 pages. Price, $115 .
While serving as lieutenant in
the Leicestershire Regiment, A. New
berry Choyce was severely wounded
Shortly after his ,convalescence he
came to America and travelled through
our West, South and Middle West on
lecture tour. 1t was during his trim
that the poems of this collection were
written, and they reflect none of the
usual lofty tolerance which English
writers show for younger and differ
emily charactered county from their
own.
instead, Choyce's poems ring with
an honest enthusiasm for the States.
tor its plains, Its mountains. its wa
ters and its people. He sings a great
gratitude for the surprises and keen
cnJoyments he has found here. and in
his appreciation there is mingled rev.
erence for grandeurs America alone
could offer. In one poem. "Rockv
Mountains" he says
From my small island home across the sea
Nlnd rates have carried me.
AND God has given me
Permission that I come
Unto western place
Where almost He allowed
II is earth to touch His Heaven
My heart is cowed
And | am stricken dumb.
For in mist of mighty majesty

The Master Mountain Maker. face to face.
And I wonder why
his punyness called "I''
Dare stand beneath His sky.
But there is more of worth in
Choyce's collection than merely his ad-
miration for things American. His
verse itself is fresh and vivid. his love
lyrics are marked by a tenderness and
delicacy of expression above the or
dinary. And throughout the collec-
tion there is rhythmic witchery of
phrase and thought that, unlike
Rupert Brookes imagery, seems to be
laughing itself at the poets youthful
philosophy, at the particular high
lights which arrest his vision, and the
compelling optimism of his theme.
Yet Choyce is not mere youth, fout-
ing its JOY in bruised world. A
startling maturity characterizes some
of his verse. In Judas" he pictures
the betrayer- disciple repentant and
finally forgiven, to be once more low
ingly taken into his appointed place
with the eleven who stand by Christ.
The poem is dramatically phrased and
tells a story of divine forgiveness with
masterly tenderness.
The last poem in the book, "My
Wandering Soul" expresses a mans
great contcntment in the part allotted
to him by the Master Guide, who plans
his destiny from incarnation to in
carnntion, until at last he. man, shall
have reached his Compromised goal
and stands once more with God. Tho
poem is free from extravaganza OF
feeling and by its lyric simplicity
convincingly points the part played by

The reviewer who, though he has
been reading Conrad" more or less
for the last eight years, picks up the
book in its new edition to verify a
point or so is soon-well. lost? Or
found? For he goes on reading not
less but more, he is led on step by step
through the familiar pleasure garden
by luxuriously discovering that all his
favorite flower beds are blooming with
as airy sweetness as ever they did /
and that the turf has only an added
freshness. Conrad is the happy hunting
got what he wants, so that there seems
little fear OF its ever being lonesome.
1t is born of the quality that Shaw
finds so contemplate in Hamlct-feel-
ing about life romantically and seeing
it realistically. The book has all the
qualities we are all apt to enjoy be-
fore publishers advertisements-oh,
publishers advertisements only in gen
eral!-bring us to a pass where we gag
at the mention Of them: The tear in
the smile, the smile in the tear, the
melancholy of how queer a thing life
is and memories of past days; it re-
turns these-saved from the ADVERTISE
ments-with distinction, an under rly-
ing reality which respecting pco-
pie can once more seize on their vim
tage is now the champagne of con-
nosseurs.
Thus arises, probably, its reputa-
tion as a rainbow. Yet how heavy are
the odds that "Conrad," like most books
which are easy to read, was hard to
write. SO merry and so sad q book
Packed so close in every line with wit
the wonder is it doesn't weight them
instead of growing them little wings!
And then the light balance that saves
the sentiment from melting away by a
timely stiffcning of genuine passion
or strikes ironically through the web
of luxury it has just woven with an al
lure that is almost romance! SO
wholly is it all moulded by the firm
temper, the fine serenity which Barrie
speaks of in his charmingly ardent
preface. Surely these come only from
hard-won masterfulncss in handling
that genuine contact with life"
which 1t is staggering to find Barrie
himself attributing to Merricks more
serious books but not to "Conrad,'
Some of Us must feel that It Is this

Love and Intrigue

THE WICKED MARQUIS BY e. Phillips
Oppenheim. Published by Little, Brown
" Co. 3O9 pages. Price Sl.5c.
1ir. Oppenheim has hailed the re-
turn of peace to the world by abandon
ing the type of story in which inter
national spies eternally foregather in
the most fashionable restaurants of
London, and wandering backward into
the realm formerly inhabited by
Charles Garvice.
There is not a single spy, male or
female, in "The Wicked Marquis" and
few restaurants. The publishers make
up for this latter omission by a
frontispiece labelled, "Luncheon at "a
Grosvenor Square" and the illustrator
stresses the nobility of the characters
by picturing two of them chatting after
that luncheon, in full evening dress.
'The Wicked Marquis' is, oddly
enough, about wicked marquis who
takes for his mistress the daughter of
the head gamekeeper. The gamekeeper
swears vengeance, emigrates to Amer
ica, puts his nephew through Harvard,
finances him until he becomes multi
millionaire and then binds him with a
mighty oath to aid in wreaking VEN
geance upon the house of Mandeleys, of
which the marquis is the head.
The progress of this revenge is the
motive power Of the book 1t is good
reading, and at times departs from the
we'll worn channels of such work. The
gamekeeper's daughter violates all
rules of romantic procedure by re-
naming faithful to her lover for twen-
ty years and then throwing him over
for respectable publisher, whom she
marries.
One speech in the book deserves at
least semi-immortality. David Thain
is woolng the marquis's fair daughter,
and she repels him, thus:
"'You mistake me for railway
system, she mocked"
But apparently it wasn't an unpar-
donable blunder, for apoplexy carries
off the fendish old gamekceper. the
marquis makes a million dollars and
David Thain is on the verge of marry
ing the daughter on the final page.

By One of Them

A beggar, munching a slice Of bread
outside London restaurant, was
asked why he persisted in standing
so near the entrance. Because this
'unk O. bread tastes better 'ere," was
the reply. An odor of steak and onions
pervaded the atmosphere, and by the
force of his enthusiasm-his magma
t1on-he was enjoying the delec Ia BILE
dish as much as its actual consumer.
1T is with much the same enjoyment
that the INDECENT bibliophile approaches
Shakespeare folio or an Aldine Sam
nazaro in the auction room and walks
out hugging minor rarity of few
dollars value.
To consider bibliomania, like gout
a malady of the rich is unfair In con-
trast to the opulent rivalry of the auc-
ton room there are book-lovers who
value books as works of art and &C
qulre them in quiet, impecunious
manner. Even with a lack of appro-
pirate funds one can derive as much
aesthetic pleasure and more spiritual
excitement browsing in old book stores
than the man who glances through an
auction catalogue and directs his agent
to buy for him. The expectation of
finding some treasure among a heap
of scattered books marked and 10
cents or higher is perpetual stimu-
liant to the most timid collector. Here
is hobby that is most ecstatic, Great
ing as it does sort of adventurous
aesthetic sensation. The genius of the
author, the beauty of the Typography,
the art of the illustrator and book
binder appeal to taste and intellect
alike. And in the case of first editions
one seems to be on special plane of
intimacy with the author
The auction room is hardly the place
for the small collector to buy Bidders
who are dealers and agents are not
likely to let a good thing go for
nothing. There one is competing with
collectors who can afford to, and do,
buy the book they want at any price
Old book stores-so- called junk shops,
where everything from ball of string
to fantastic electrical machine is for
sale-are happiest hunting grounds for
the INDECENT bibliophile.

Turkish Slaughter
Wipes Out a Third
OF Armenian Race
Old or Young Not Spared,
Saws Relief Commission:
People Hope U. S. Gets
League Mandate for Them

ROME, June (By The Associated
Press).-"Out Of the Armenian nation
Of three million people at the outbreak
of the war one million we're massa-
cred; the condition Of the remainder is
most appalling. Turkey, by her inhu-
man treatment of these defencelcss un-
fortunates, has lost the right to be
intrusted with the power to rule"
So declared Bishop H. II. Fout, of
Indianapolis, who has arrived in Rome
on his way to the United States from
the Near East, where he has been d.
recting the work Of one section Of the
American Commission for Relief.
Bishop Fout, who belongs to the
United Brethren Church, is accom-
panied by seventeen other members Of
his commission.
"The people Of Armenia, Syria and
Turkey are most eager that the United
States shall have the league of ma
tions mandate for their countries.n
said Bishop Fout. "These people," he
added, "are crying out for the United
States. America is their first choice
with Great Britain second.
There is plenty of mute evidence
IN the hundreds Of thousands Of skcle-
tons scattered throughout the Turkish
Empire that the Turks sought to ex-
terminate the Armcnians by systematic
massacre. The Armcnans were driven
like herdcd cattle from one locality to
another until they were exhausted by
tortures of unbelievable character. In
addition, the Turks sought to wipe out
the clergy Of Armenia. Only~cight out
Of 1orty-four bishops survived, while
only 10 per cent Of the clergy is living
to-day"
Starvation Widespread
The Rev Paul F. r. Chappcll, OF
Nashville. Tenn, told Of what he had
Been in travelling from Port Said to
Aleppo. Poverty is most profound,
although the prospects, for tho next
harvest are good" no said. Even at
New-York tribune., 1919-06-07

present the people fall dead in the
streets from the effects of Turkish
treatment. The Turks could not invade
Syria as they invaded Armenia, but
they we're successful in preventing
food from going to Syria. Starvation
is widespread throughout the region.
Colonel Hawker, the British COM
mander at Beirut, told me he thought
it would be found that only 80 per
cent Of the Armenians are living when
final accounts are taken.
"The Turkish plan was to take all
the able-bodied men from the COM
munity and tie them up. Then they
would torture them by cutting their
flesh and burning the wounds Finally
they would cut off their heads in the
presence of the wives and children
of the victims. The old men, women
and children were herded together and
driven from place to place"
A large number of photographs taken
in Armenia, showing piles of skulls
and skeletons and pictures of deformed
children and tortured women, were
shown by the Rev. Samuel 7. Bartlett.
of Toronto, Canada, a member Of the
committee WIZ penetrated INTO Eastern
Turkey.
Tale of Butchery
"At Ourfa," Mr.. Bartlett said: 81
saw deep we'll filled with skulls of
Armenians. There must have been
several thousand of them. At Malatee
there is pit containing thousands of
skeletons.
"The Turks took all the babies in the
town and threw them into the river
until it overflowed its banks. They
led out the priests, put red-hot iron
shoes on their feet, tied them to wag-
ons and forced them to walk long dis
tances. The finger and toe nails of
the priests were pulled out, and the
priests finally were compelled to say
the rites over the dead while the Turks
looked on and laughed and mocked
At other places they pulled. out the
boards of the priests and tortured
them until they fell dead from ex.
haustion."
