Why the Bible Is Unread

The Modern-Printed Bible, which
Doubleday. Page & Co. have just pub
llshed, the Bible printed, Photographed
and bound according to the most modern
usage, is not an innovation, says it's
editor, French Strother, managing edi-
tor of The Worlds Work, but a return
to the readable simplicity of the ear
hest English editions. 1t is really the
"AntiqueP Printed" Bible, for not until
the Authorized Version was published
was the type broken up into the unnat-
ural short verses and confused by the
addition of verse numbers, which char
acterize the book as we see it to-day.
The earliest English editions, antedating
the Authorized Version by the better
part of century, We're prepared by
the followers of Wyclitfe, who were
animated by his passion to put into the
hands of the common people a Bible
they could read, written in their own
tongue. These were all Photographed
with the simple, natural divisions en-
ployed in modern books. Perhaps the
most famous of these first printed YER
sions is the Coverdale Bible, which has
the same arrangement that is used in
the Modern-Printed edition.
1t is Mr.. Strother's conviction that
people do not read this masterpiece of
all literature because of its confusing
and unnatural typographical arrange
ment that has led to the publication of
the Bible in its modern form,

An Explorers Adventures

1t is quite in keeping with the gen
eral plan Of The Chronicles Of America
(Yale University Press) that the
volume The Red Mans Continent
should be written by a professional
geographer and explorer. It's author,
Ellsworth Huntington, Immediately aft
er he was graduated from Beloit Col
lege, in 1897 turned his footsteps to-
ward the Far East and explored the
sources of the Tigris, risking his life
in the haunts of the Kurds. After that
he spent some time studying with Will
liam Morris Davis at Harvard. and.
then, as member of the Pumpelly Ex
pedition, made extensive archaeological
Investigations among the ruins in the
Transcaspian Desert. He nearly lost
his life in the salt wastes of the LOB
Desert, which he was the first person
native or white man-to penetrate.
Resides all this, he has visited Pales-
tine and Asia Minor as a special rep
rcsentative of Yale University, and has
carried on extensive climatic investira-
tions IN all parts Of the United States.

Modem French Writers
An Interpretation of the French Authors of the
Present Generation

ROLAND Nine. Duclaux has little good
will. His worse than neutral attitude
toward France in her great trial
renders him an easy target But the
author Of Jean Christophe cannot be
omitted from any book on French au-
thors of to-day, and SO he gets his just
dues and no more. The essay on Ros-
tand is one of the best brief studies on
the man and his plays that we have
as yet encountered.
The glow, the fire Of this, handbook
is to be found in its intimate chapters
on the young Charles Peguy, Ernest
Psichari and Emile Molly, who died at
the front. What they might have been
for France and the world, had they
lived, we can but guess. In the words
from Peguy's great song, beginning
with the line "Heureux ceux uui sont
morris" here freely translated
Happy are they who die for their ma
tive land,
If they meet death in just war"

lo was, indeed, that disastrous def
clency in destroyers which hindered
and crippled the navy from first to
last. There was never a time when at
least 200 more destroyers were not
literally needed, and 500 would not
have been too many. The Liberal gov
ernment had year after year reduced
the number of destroyers estimated
by the Admiralty to be requisite, al
though the submarine danger was not
even considered. That danger was not
foreseen. 1t is of no use going back
upon the past. 1t was simply not fore
seen. Therefore when the submarine
arrived the entire vast organization re-
quired to rescue the empire from the
greatest peril with which it was ever
confronted had to be begun. It is the
purpose of Lord Jellicoe's book to de-
scribe how that organization was
planned and built up; and in his plain,
seaman's style Lord Jellicoe gives q
lucid presentation in general terms Of
the whole complicated and troubled

lV thor of Slippy McGee, writes
her publishers that she cannot

coming novel, The Purple Heights,
If every time she goes to the country

runs into a lynchng, as she did re-
Gently Mrs. Oemler lives in Savannah
and she went up into the piney woods
country some thirty miles above the
city.
II went up for quiet and rest and
chance to work undisturbed," she says
in a letter received by her publishers,
but | ran into the excitement of the
most hideous murder ever committed
in Effingham County The usual case
and the poor, pretty girl who was
the victim was discovered by her own
twin brother. l can't give the grew
some details, which are unbelievably
iendish. So all the men up in Effing-
ham are beating through the swamps
with dogs, because the negro hasn't
yet been captured. The thing hap
pened about five miles from us-as I
was stopping in a rather retired spot,
sleeping in big octagonal room up
stairs, with the trees tapping on the
windows at night, and the outside
world so dark! And the men of the
house were out in the swamps. So
couldn't sleep for horror and terror,
and I couldn't work and my nerve
broke, and l came home. There are
policemen stationed along all the roads
leading into Savannah, and armed
guards at the Chatham Jail, because
there was danger Of an assault on the
Jail If the negro was caught and lodged
there. And if he is caught, and can't
be lodged there, we shall have lynch
ing in Effingham. There was open talk
of burning. So you see why I ran
away, without doing any work am
in hopes the better posses will capture
him, take him to the girls home and
hang him decently and at once. That
will save trouble.
II mention this, first, to explain my
delay in replying to your letter: Il
couldn't. And next to explain why
Georgia people at times go crazy over
objectionable crimes and take the law
into their own hands. If we lynch
this beast and all the papers tell you
what barbarians my people are, do
please remember that girls mutilated
corpse, and her twin brother finding it,
and her crazed mother-and judge us
gently. You people up there don't
always know the real truth of what
sometimes happens down here"

NHE war gave US an open road
to the heart of France. We
caught new glimpses of her

to the heart of France. We
h caught new glimpses of her
traditional glories and were
introduced to the leacing figure of her
literary family. Barbusse became
known from coast to coast in the
United States through his Under Fire
Gle Feu), and we read the thrilling
verse of young Frenchmen who wrote
lyrics and then were burned out in
flame. 1t is a duty to preserve the
present entente cordiale of letters, for,
with the war receding into history,
there is real danger of a hiatus, a
gradually widening chasm, between the
French author and the American public.
SO we welcome the publication of an
American edition of Twentieth Cen
tury French Writers (Scribner's) by
Nine. Duclaux. This little book is a.
wholly reliable and readable study or
presentment Of the careers and in
f1uences of a number of contemporary
novelists, dramatists and poets of
France. We know of no other book
that occupies exactly the same acre of
criticism.
Nine. Duclaux begins with Maurice
barres, although he belongs to school
that precedes the modern coterie in
part created by, or at least greatly
under the spell of, the war AS
Barres, half mystic and half Christian,
Is typical of the trend of letters in
France just before the opening of the
struggle, he makes an excellent initial
figure. Then come pages on ROLAND
and Rostand, paragraphs and sentences
of glowing, sympathetic prose, rich in
shrewd and at times caustic criticism,
revelatory to a remarkable degree. For
