FUN AND SENTIMENT
IN NORRTS'S NOVEL
"The Cresting Waue" Also
Holds a Lesson for Young,
Business Men

As in other Of the brisk. bright novels
OF Edwin Tntcman Morris. there is n
SubStratum Of seriousness underlying
the humor and sentiment of his newest
work of fiction. "Thc Crcsting Wave. "
In Mere Man" he dwrlf. though not
propagandiStirally or obtrusivcly. with
SuffragiSn. In Our Miss New York
the basic thought was the relative YER
Sus absolute values of fcminsm. In
The Crcsting Wave" Mr.. Morris con
siders the American business man who
sets up Mammon and whose sole quest
is for success as many Americans define
and measure success.
His hero is not merely money q
grubbcr. but also n money worshipper /:
not money from II miScrly standpoint
or money for its own sake. but money
as source of power. regarded from
the acquisitivr and accumulativc angle
by man who i~ able to make It. This
is Just a. Sordid an IDEAL as the other.
nS Mr.. MOrria's heroine. a fOrccful yet
delightful girl. sets out to prove. She
shows in the course of the story how
merely material success is dwarfed in
contrast with some of the finer things
Of life.
Mr.. Morris knows big business and
he knows small business ideals. Uc
knows, too. how 10 blend sentiment of
Il fresh and unforrcd sort with his
finance. As an artist and architect he
has the sense Of perspective. proper .
ton and constructive values. His novel
has an ingenious hut not unduly in p

are sensational, 1t is rich in humor
and quizzical sort of commentary.

GOOD READING FOR ALL SORTS OF PEOPLE
OVEN WISTER SETS
HISTORY STRAIGHT
He Has Corrected a Lot of Err.
rorS About the Relations
OF England and america

II any one is in doubt about Owen
Nister's attitude toward the Germans
ana his feelings about the proper rela-
tlons between England and the United
states he will find those doubts re-
moved by reading "a Straight Deal, or
the Ancient Grudge."
In this book Mr.. Wistcr has set out
to correct the misrepresentation about
England which have been fostered by
American school histories and by Ger
man propaganda. He begins with the
revolution and he ends with the current
year. He finds that he was taught only
a part of the truth as boy because
the school histories failed to tell that
the revolution was part of the revolt
on the English people against the tyran-
MES OF the German king who sat on the
BrNish throne, because they told only
halt OF the truth about the war Of 1912
and ignored entirely the fact that the
Monroe Doctrine was suggested by Can.
ming and, adopted by Monroe after con
snltation with Jefferson. And so on
through the century he cites instance
after instance of error which he alb
sorbcd. II was not till he became a
man and read history on his own ac-
count that he discovered the truth.
He now knows that the British arc
more friendly toward the United States
than to any other nation and that Ger
man propagandists have been dclibcr-
ately seeking to preserve the feeling of
hostility which the mistakenly conceived
histories have fostered. His book is
useful not only as revelation of his
own feelings. but as compendium of
facts that have been overlooked too often

tionS of thC United States.

"Inter-C Church World Movement"

Are the different branches of the Protestant people
OF the world allies enemiesl
As Baptist you glad sorry when you hear
OF great preacher missionary who Methodist?
AS Presbyterian you glad sorry when the
Complexities get million dollars for their College!
As Epscopaian would you start Episcopal church
in small village where there three protestant
churches already?
The rivalry and hostility OF these different branches
OF the Church OF Jesus Christ have disgr ced the
cause wasted the Lords money and really brought the
progress OF the Kingdom to a standsti.
An Inter Church World Movement is begun to set
matters more nearly right. At recent meeting in
Pittsburg Jno d. Rockefeller Jr, the greatest Baptist
layman in the world, said
"If jealousy, suspicion, and pettiness allowed to
creep in, this will be disrupted The devil
will all his ingenuity to attack Christianity in this
way-from Within
Is not time for every Christian to pray for the
spirit OF love and fellowship and unity, that may
all be more Christlike in spirit and that may all
work in harmony and unity for the coming of Gods

TO be absurd the charge made by Gem

This statement was made In reply to an

assertion of General Summerall, for

First Army, that chaotic conditions ex-
listed before and during the battle OF

victory was due either TO accident
or Divine Intervention rather than
to any military plan of action.
