MIDDLE CLASSES
ARE DESTROYED
English Author Says Middle
Men in England Are on
the Way to Ruin.

BY Associated Press:
LONDON, Jan. 24.-Sir H. Rider
Haggard. the author. believes the
middle classes Of England are on
the road to ruin" This opinion he
expressed in a letter TO the general
secretary OF the middle classes
union. regretting that other work
prevented him from assuming the
presidency OF a branch OF the union.
Il sympathize fully with your
movement" he wrote. The middle

all beneath the rank Of Peers who
do not actually earn their living
by the work OF their hands are.

Owing principally or at any rate
very largely TO the incredible ex-
pense of rearing and educating
children their birthrate Is decreas-
ing in a most alarming fashion and
probably is now exceeded by their
deathrate."
Free Hand.
He declared that against these
classes the prohteer Is given a free
hand and that under pretence OF a
nebulous ani-dumping bill. they are
now threatened with the loss Of the
blessings OF free trade which alone
enables many with fixed. or dwind-
ling incomes. to live at all" He said
that only combination 10 protect
themselves and their interests could
save them.
IF the middle classes remain dis
united and in consequence are bull
led and plundered TO death. as hap
pened TO the Curiales before the
fall OF the Roman empire, I am
sure that with them will disappear
the wealth and the ancient great
ness OF our country" he concluded.

One of the difficulties arising from
the exchange situation IS that much
of the business here is done under
terms arranged several years ago
when an American dollar was worth
two Mexican dollars or more. Con-
sequently foreign workers here
have suffered.
The bankers concluded that one
solution OF the problem would be to

THE YANKEE IN THE BRITISH

Leonard Wood. Illustrated. New
York: G. p. Putnam's Sons.
This is not a war book. in that It
does not attempt any historic outlook
upon the war. nor does 1t deal with
any OF the purely military phases
Of the event. Instead. 1t is study
man in the everyday intinacies OF
plain soldering. Their prime OBJ.
jective is to watch the mixing Of
Tommy and the Yank. They bring
to this study sufficiently good
equipment to engage the ne, reader .se!e IN
human beings themseives-very hui
man. They have feeling. They have
keen scent for the fun and the
hu,nor OF a situation. They are keen
observers and frst-rate interpreters
They are awake to some of the deep
err implications of the war-for in
stance. to the growing friendship be-
tween the English and the American
soldier. where each has to own up
to the qualities OF the other. And
this. perhaps. is the chief object OF
this work-to bring out the essential
kinship between these two branches of
the same family Of soldiers. between
these two branches Of the same fam
lily Of men. Fine-spirited work that.
in its lighter vein, carries much OF
matter for consideration.
A CRY OF YOUTH. by Cynthia Lom-

This romance STEPS out i.'r,n "a in
teresting setting. Indeed. this back
ground is likely to carry the story
alone. First, here is Rome in the
charm of its reminiscent gloom. And,
later. there is the picturesque retreat
In the hills. To both of these the
author does full-handed artistic jus
tice. The romance itself has to do
with a youth seduced from his mon
astic vows by the beauty of a young
girl. The urgencies of their passion
open no way save that OF flight to-
gether and the joyous. uncalculattng
adventure Of life with each other. A
very idyllic existence is put into
drama at this point. Much OF the rest
Of the story is busted with straight
ening the entanglements of this ept-
sode in the hills-for 1t turns out that
there is a world to be taken into their
