livery time we have thought of
IL the Kaiser and his shining armor
and several hundred uniforms, especially
the crusaders white costume in which he
entered Jerusalem; and every time we
have thought of the Crown Prince in his
favorite uniform Of the Deaths Head Hus-
sar Regiment, or of the Kaiserin in one
Of her perhaps the orange colored
one selected by the Kaiser-it has seemed
q pity that such pieturesqueness should
be permitted to pass from the world. We
preserve far less antique and less inter-
esting things in our museums. Why not
thesc9 Tourists would flock to see them
in preference to any memorial trenches or
battlefelds or ruined towns. The sugges-
ton is given to Germany as a means of
paying its war debts.
If. for example, all the lately disturbed
kings and emperors could be exhibited in
a permanent stockade similar to that in
closing the German peace delegates at
Versailles, the birthplace at Stratford
would no longer be the most popular
shrine in Europe. -Arstokid, A. Wash
ngton Pezet's fantastic and amusing little
story, introduces a colony of kings, where
they are permitted to live in all their
former magnifcence and which is mu-
nifieently supported by the tourists.
''They came to see the magnificent pal
aces ana mansions; to visit the wonderful
museum where were assembled all the
crown jewels and royal relics of history;
to gamble at the great casino, the only in
stitution of its kind left in the world;
to drink in the numerous cafes and sa-
looms, quaint relics of the past; and they
came; I must admit-for even social revo-
luton cannot destroy the snobbishness
and love of ermine and purple inherent in
human nature-they came to cape at Tie
great ones, and to see the aristocrat in his
native haunt"

describes, with its statues of Trotzky ard
IT'S food capsules and water. water every
where, with nothing else to drink. The
subject is one admitting of infinite fancy,
so It may be regretted that Mr.. Pezet has
permitted himself to be distracted firm
bis colony of kings to tell the love story
of 4 princess of Aristokia and a tourist
from the Universal Proletarian Republic.
The story is amusing comedy, but the
book had a chance to be brilliant satire.
As it is, the authors more serious OBJ
servations are not in harmony with tbe
general horseplay. Tony Sarg's llustra-
tons give effective first aid to the story
instead Of being the usual handicap.

Might Have Been
a Good War Book

II Or a. mother to have heard in Lon
l. don drawing room at the pleasant
hour Of afternoon tea that her son was
dangerously wounded in France, to have
made an uncomfortable and regulation
defying journey to the place where she
thought he might be in hospital, and then,
on arriving at her destination accidentally
to meet her son on duty in excellent
health, might seem to be a chain Of cir
cumstances that would move any one who
could write book to some stirring flights
Of gratitude, at least.
But in that very tale, purporting to be
one Of fact, which Isabella st. John sets
down in her little volume called A Jour
neg in Wartime, the reader will meet
with keen disappointment. Mrs. St.
John seemed to think more Of the
mothers physical discomforts tLan any
thing else, and fills her story with descrip-
tons of them and of stupid exaggera-
ZION of her meeting with an offcious Eel
low traveller, whom she describes as an
Englishman but who would seem to have
been either fool or a spy.
The woman's disregard for military
regulations IS pure piece of feminine
foolhardiness and shows strikingly WHY
military men are so opposed to allowing
women anywhere near the front in war
time. Such an experience as this mother
IN search of her son went through should
have produced moving tale, but we ale
free to say that this narrative impresses
US as the stupidest war book we have
read-iI its effect of wonderful oppcr-
tunity quite missed.

Mrs. Clarke Tries
Shaming a Spook

IN her attempt to invade the world Of
Il the occult and to show the conflict
between Spiritualism and the Catholic
faith Isabel C. Clarke has wandered into
the field Of melodrama, out Of her GUS
tomary meter of social comedy or trag-
edy, with the result that her new novel,
Whose Name Is Legion, takes on tur-
gidity worlds apart from her usual fin
ished charm Of style. The reader is
presented with the very advanced phase
of the occult in which a medium, con-
troLed by a certain clever scoundrel, Prof.
Scudamore, brings to a seance physical
presence wearing the appearance of
turbaned Moor, who seizes Pamela Win
ton by the throat and almost chokes hei
to death before her cousin, Billy Now
bray, saves her life.
These events take place in an East
Anglican country house occupied by a
Mrs. Blair, who is 'one of Prof. Scuba
more's victims, for indulging in his
seances is costly business. The scene OF
the tale is later transferred TO Algeria,
where Pamela has gone to live as the
bride of Ralph Mellish, middle aged
Englishman, who has fallen under the
spell of Oriental life as it is lived in<the
Garden of Allah. Mellish's house is full
of a sense Of evil mystery. Moreover, he
has friend, a native named Aziz, at the
first sight of whom Pamela falls into a
swoon from fright, the implication being
conveyed to the reader that Aziz strongly
resembles the savage presence who at
tackled Pamela at Mrs. Blair's home.
The plot is further complicated by a
murder that took place year before
Pamela went to Algiers, a murder Of
which we are led to believe Aziz sus-
poets Mellish of being guilty. Since Mrs.
Clarke's purpose in writing the tale is to
show how the Catholic Church abhors
Spiritualism, she presents the church's
views at considerable length, makes of Pa
mala a convert to that faith and, In the
final fiery catastrophe in Mellish's house,
has Pamela's husband saved by the priest
who is the instrument of her conversion.
The story seems to have been hastily
written, for there are all sorts Of slips in
it that have not been helped by slovenly
proofreading. There may be necessity
in England for anti-Spiritualism propa-
ganda of this sort, but it hardly seems
vital here, and if such propaganda were
one of our needs, it would not be helped
by stark and tawdry melodrama like this.
