Secret Diplomacy

"A Year as a Government Agent
by Vira b. Whitehouse is distinctly
personal account of the haps and mis- :
haps of the only woman employed dur
ing the war by the United States
government in a position of capital
Importance of a quasi diplomatic char
acter. Mrs. Whitehouse represented
the committee of public information in
Switzerland, which it will be recalled
was the center of all sorts of spies and
propagandists. The German system
was met, when the nature of the work
that was being performed there in be-
half of the WilhelmsStrasse was once
realized, by elaborate counter systems
of the Entente powers. Mrs. White
house, chosen for this post on account
of the remarkable work she had done
in the New York state suffrage cam
paign and other public movements, had
as her task the countering and thwart-
ing of enemy lies. She very sensibly
adopted an American openness of
method and operation in her endeavor
to present the American side of the
great war. She had many difficulties
with the routine diplomats with their
reticence, secrecies and indirections.
Many an interesting page is devoted to
enlightening, and somewhat discourag
ing, descriptions of the old worldly
diplomacy that has won adherents in
our own state department. The book
is brightly and briskly written.

4 Stimulating Book

In Letters and Leadership, Von
Wyck Brooks, one of the most brillian nt
of the younger American writer's. whose
Americas Coming of Age" was rec
ognized by literary critics. economists
and publicists as fine performance for
its substantial and stimulating quality
has written a worthy successor in tbe
qualities of substance, spirit and stim
ulus.
The author proceeds on the thesis
that nation without a great literature
cannot function greatly or flower TO its
finest possibility. He sets forth the
case for a literary renaissance in this
country-a rebirth which, by the way,
is in process and progress, especiolly
IN poetry. He sounds a stirring cali to
young writers, high in hope of achieve
ment and with all their ideals firm and
few of their illusions tarnished, TO rise
to the great task of exalting America :
literary banners to the loftiest attitudes
of humanity and the spirit The war
has been n goad and whip. Mr..
Brooks hopes their urge will be felt in
better endeavors and in greater achieve
ments. His brief book is an admirable
plea for creativeness in American lit :
erature, and in American life, of which
literature is the reflex or the refiec :
ton.

Talks to Girls

T.. Would that every girl and young
woman who are starting out in life to
earn their own living could have Anne
B. McCall's "The Larger Vision
Written by one who early in life faced
poverty triumphantly, it shows out of
this experience how to meet the daily
needs of life successfully. Many of the
difficulties to be conquered and hard
problems to be solved are shown. and
the way she overcame the obstacles in
her daily path is told clearly and sug-
gestively. The author frequently helps
her readers by apt and wholesome quo
tations from our best poets and writer's.
Among the specially impressive chapters
is the one on the Gift of Courage" in
which she pictures vividly the impress
sion made on her of one of our return
ing regiments when the eyes that looked
out from the haggard faces were the
real inspiration; eyes that chad looked
upon the worst that life could show
them, and the best" Charming is the
Christian saints in the chapter on 1.-THE
Graces of Life One she calls the
Saint of Joyous Giving, Saint Nicholas ;
the other is the Saint of Joyous Self
forgetfulness, Saint Valentine, whom we
celebrate ''in gifts and messages of
affection that we contrive to give with
the more delight because no one shall
ever suspect that it is we who give
them Most impressive are the closing
chapters, which have deep religious
feeling which will appeal to every
reader and help to make her lead life

Roland Young, who appears here in

to be presented by the Selwyns at the
Philadelphia Theatre Monday night, en-
joys the distinction of being considered
so suitable for his new part that he has
been taken from reigning success on
Broadway to create the hero of "Rollo's
Wild Oat." Starred with Donald Brian
and Peggy Wood in "Buddies," also a
Selwyn production, the trio created n
furore when "Buddies" achieved its
success. 40
There is also a matter of sentiment
attached in the transfer of Mr.. Young

and outline the origin, and temporarv
collapse of liberalism as Mr.. Stearns do
fines it, and throw out some suggestions
as to its future.
His definition of liberalism is that |,
is definite tolerant and nationalist
attitude rather than a specific political
and economic creed. On this basis no
criticizes much of the recent war M,
merely its conduct, but its very heinz
ne holds firmly that eonscription is n
breeder OF wars and that SO long A.,
nations remain armed camps, the mill
sarlsts IN power will wage wars. Tn
fact, Mr.. Stearns seems to place ratbar
disproportionate amount of emnhas;s
on conscription, in relation to other fon
tors that make or mar liberalized
public opinion. N''Ae'
Ihe writer is gloomy, one would tbink
unduiy pessimistic, in his consideration
OF the past and the recent present. Much
that he says has weight and substance
but very many liberal thinkers will
reel that he is critical rather than con-.
structlve and creative. The genuine.
ness OF his concern at conditions. and b;s
burning sincerity, at least make his
pook a challenge at this day when re-
action is seeking to consolidate posi.
lions, when peoples are irritated and
when the vast economic and social ,roh
lens that the war brought up. aside
altogether from its political and mill,
tary aspects, are clamoring for solution
along lines of popular welfare.

Finds Fault With Figures

To the Editor Of the EveninD Public LedDor:
Sir--I do not quite agree with your
article in the EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER
of January 30, stating that a family
of FIVE can live on 5000 yearly or $75
monthly.
Now tell me where you can rent the
meanest kind of hovel in Philadelphia
for $40 per month?
Now you set aside $25 per month for
food; that is eighty three cents per day
for family of five or sixteen and three
fifth cents per day for food for one
person. have child, twenty months
old, who consumes two quarts of milk
daily in addition to his three meals.
The milk costs thirty eight cents daily.
My gas and coal cost $23 monthly for
five room house.
Please enlighten me as to the method
of existing on $75 monthly, in reality,
not theory.
We are now warned that there may
be food famine, owing to the farm
help all tiocking to the city for higher
wages, thereby causing shortage Of
farm help. .+st
Why does the government not elm
mate the red tape, and set minimum
living wage for all classes of labor, sci
fair price on all food, clothing ant
necessities, make it unlawful to strike
and allow six months for conditions tc
adjust themselves to the new prices?
This can be done by the government
if they want to do it.
If they do not, and existing condi.
tions continue, what is going to happier
in the very near future when the peopl,
are driven and overburdened more thar
they can stand with the III. G. L.?

Returning to the local stage for the
first time since her extended and nota-
BILE services as an entertainer for the
American troops abroad during the
world war. Elsie Janis comes to the
Garrick, where she will present an en-
tprtainment of her own making, which
she describes as "bomb proof revue"
This offering, the star announces,
will follow in the main the lines of the
impromptu shows she gave in France
to olive drab clad audiences. 1t is also
an endeavor by Miss Janis to picture
the lighter side of the world conflict as
revealed to the Yank doughboy after
the fashion in which the Bairnsfather
cartoons reflected the humorous and
human side of the British soldier. Care
has been exercised by Miss Janis (who
has also graduated to managerial dig
mites as well as stellar honors) in the
selection of her acting associates, whom
she designates cher gang" Miss Janis
is the author of the book, and she alsc
wrote some of the songs and staged the

HER MISS A HIT
Bertha Mann Becomes Actress In
stead of Dancer

Bertha Mann, who plays the leading
feminine role in "The Crimson Alibi"
at the Adelphi, while recognized at the
present time as one of the notable emo
tional actresses of today, was really
discovered by Ned Wayburn, producer
of the Ziegfeld Follies dancing en-
sembles.
She came from Kentucky when a
child of twelve and joined Wayburn' S
dancing school, New York. She ac-
knowledges to being very bad dancer,
but one day while WayburE had al
lowed the class q respite for luncheon he
passed the group where Bertha was
reading a bit of verse to the other stu
dents of chereography. He stopped and
listened and so impressed was he with
the dramatic talent of his pupil that he
told her he wanted her to go up to the
Harlem Opera House the next week and
read a dramatic poem he had written.
Bertha went, according to instruc-
tions. and at the matinee performance
she spoke her little piece. At one place
near the end she was to pause be :
fore putting over the punch" line.
She paused, according to instructions,
and the audience wildly applauded
However, Bertha was no nonplussed
with this unexpected applause that she
