Temple House, in THE Nation"
"now knows Georges Clemenceau
as the forceful First Minister
who played Lincoln to the Grant of Gen
cral Foch. A good fraction of the world
knew him before as the caustic journal
ist whose 'Homme Enchaine' became by
virtue of the war L'Homme Lbre'
But our Western world at least, has not
known him as novelist. Perhaps our
Western world would have managed to
exist without such knowledge for Gle
menceau the story writer bulks much
less imposingly than Clemenccau the
statesman"
But, this writer goes on to say, there
is bitter flavor to his short stories
AUX Embuscades de la vie,' published
in 1909 which is not always wholly I'M
pleasant, although mostly so; and, of
course, nothing produced by a mind of
this calibre is negligible.
In the opinion of Mr.. House
"Clemenceau is born anti and a
lirmcd cync. The teachings of his stories
are more clear than comforting. We have no
reason to believe in a God or Hereafter,
which is just as WELL because no form of
existence could be worth the living. There
is no such thing in this world as virtue, wis
dom or enduring happiness We are all poor
miserable sinners-but what of it? 1t would
scarcely pay to be anything else in so ran
dom and unjust universe. We all futile
and ridiculous--with the possible exception

and Ausonius All the common canons OF
virtue and holiness are, by the bulk of man
kind, honored in the breach; and it is better
for mankind that this is so. Octave de Bosig-
rion is united in a marriage de CONVEYANCE
to Berthe de La Palud, and they are sick
with disgust of each other before they are
halfway up the Nile in the first fortnight
of their honeymoon. Rene de Callians, an
old acquaintance of Octave's, happens along
and cheers them both very successfully for
years. Berthe is not unfaithful to Octave,
for she owes him nothing. The marriage de
CONVEYANCE is foolish farce, and it is the
part of wisdom to ignore its useless vows.
So everybody concerned is really better off
(including Octave, who is thus justified in
seeking feminine society elsewhere) for the
laudable freedom from prejudice shown by
Rene and Berthe. When the lady dies, the
two men weep in each others arms, and
spend their remaining decade or so of life
regretting her in a pathetic duo.
