Sir Ernest, If he is correctly reported,

dangerous complacency, dangerous for
this reason: the creative period of an
artists life is never too long, never,
surely, quite long enough; and here are
four or five years of Lawrence's creative
life laid waste, not by any malevolence
or deliberate suppression, but simply
by a confusion of mind, aggravated
possibly by the hysteria due to war
conditions. That may have been In
evitable; but as we emerge from those
conditions it Is certainly disturbing

Father Duffy's Book

published by George H. Doran Com
pany, about his good friend Colonel
Donovan. He continues: That is the
way talk about him to myself. When
we are together we always find some
thing to fight about. One unfailing
subject of discussion is which of US is
the greater hero. That sounds rather
eonceited. and all the more so when
| say that each of Us sticks up strong
ly for himself. Those Internal young
sters of ours have been telling stories
about both of US, most of which, at
least. those that concern myself attest
the loyalty Of my friends better than
their veracity. There is only one way
to take it--as joke. If either of US
gets clipping in which his name is
mentioned he brandishes it before COM
pany under the nose of the other, chal-
longing him to produce some proof of
being as great hero. The other day

Story of the War
Children's History by
William S. Braithwaite

THE STORY OF THE GREAT WAR. By
william Stanley Braithwaite Frederick
A. Stokes Company. New York.
Mr.. Braithwaite Is better known as
critic Of poetry than as an historian
However, ne has made an excellent
summary of the outstanding facts
about the great war in simple lam
guage adapted for children's reading
The book is divided into six parts
The author first tells "how the war
came about" He then describes the
nations involved in the struggle, the
campaigns on land and the work of
the navies At sea, tho remarkable
achievements In science and other
fields which characterized the course
Of the conflict, and the great PERSONAL
ties of the war. A brief supplement
describes the work Of the peace con-
ference and the terms OF the treaty
Mr.. Braithwaite possesses the art
happily exemplified in Dickens g
"Child's History Of England" Of max
ing an interesting story out Of serious
historical events. Provided with twelve
handsome illustrations in color, the
book 10 put out in attractive form and
should appeal to the wide audience OF
children to whom 1t Is dedicated.

nan. He boasts that he always paid
the highest scale of wages current in
the trade and that his men were never
compelled to resort to a strike in order
70 gain a legitimate increase of wages.
IL was largely through his indefatig-
able efforts that the Combination
laws, which made trade unions illegal,
were repealed by Conservative Par
lament He always used his influence
ID prevent the government from throw
ing the weight of it's power behind the
employers in strikes. At the same
time Place was no demagogue He did
not hesitate to rebuke the workers
when he felt that their methods or OBJ
lects were wrong; and he was habtually
denounced by extremists as an "aristo-
crat'' and false friend of the work
ing class.
Places activities and interests were
multlfarious. In company with Ben
than, Grote and James Mill, he delved
INTO ethics and economics. Philo-
sophically he was a Benthamite, a be-
greatest happiness for the greatest
number" In economics he was neo-
Malthusian. In the early nineteenth
century, when modern means of trans
portation and agricultural production
did not exist and every country was
dependent upon its own food resources.
there was far more reason to accept
Malthus's gloomy theory of the ulti-
mate inability Of the earth to support
its population than there Is at the
present time.
The biography Of such q man as
FRANCIS Place presents many tempta-
tions and many difficulties. Mr.. Wal
las has avoided the former and sur
mounted the latter. A sentimentalist
might have laid more stress upon
Places personal experience, upon his
struggles with poverty, upon his cafeer
as a demonstration Of the theory that
any poor but honest boy can make
his way in the world. Mr. Wallas, on
the other hand, rightly stresses his
public activities. For the fundamental
appeal of Places life lies in the fact
that he was a vigorous exponent Of
the best qualities of British liberalism,
of a liberalism humanized and made
warmer by close and sympathetic con-
tact with the life and sufferings Of
the masses. The authors treatment
of Places voluminous letters and me-
moirs constitutes a masterpiece Of the
biographer's art. Modestly remaining
in the background, Mr.. Wallas allows
Place in large measure to tell the
Slory VI MS OWN iue through extracts
from his letters. The authors critical
faculty in selecting and arranging these
extracts is beyond praise. Gut of an
enormous bulky shapeless mass Of orig
inal material he creates vivid,
clearcut picture of the man and his
life within the compass Of 400 pages.
Mr. Knopf is to be congratulated upon
making this we'll known English bio
graphical achievement available in an
American edition.

Double Identity

THE GREAT IMPROVISATION BY E
Phillips Oppenheim. Little, Brown &
Co. Boston
Mr.. E. Phillips Oppenheim has been
publishing books so rapidly during the
last few years that, at times, his in
ventive genius has seemed to flag.
True, his type of fiction production
does not require any process of long
and labored reflection; but occasion
ally an element of sameness and mo-
notony has crept into his tales of dis
guised diplomats, beautiful ladies', mys-
terious intrigues and murders com
mitted and intended.
No such captious criticism can be
raised against THE Great Impersona-
ton" 1t is thoroughly good story,
with an ingenious plot and series of
exciting episodes that recall Arthur
Conan Doyle of the days when he was
writing about Sherlock Holmes and not
about spiritualism.
A British nobleman, Lord Dominey,
wandering in the jungles of Africa,
encounters an Oxford acquaintance. a

resemblance to him. True to the evil
characteristics Of his kind, the German
conceives the hospitable idea of mur-
dering his guest in order to assume
his identity and gain access to the
highest English political and social
circles. AS events turn out, however,
the shoe is on the other foot; and
the German, not the Englishman, is
the victim Of the fight.
Dominey returns to England, per-
suades the German spies there that he
is their agent and disrupts an elab-
crate network of Teutonic espionage.
There is still more to the story:
Dominey restores u mentally diseased
wife to health, evades the advances of
an ardent Hungarian princess. who
mistakes him for her German lover
and solves ghost mystery by dis
play of courage and firmness. To any
one desiring light entertainment the
novel can be enthusiastically recon-
mendcd, with one reservation-its real
istic ghostly qualities make it bad

Graham Wallas Presents Vivid
Picture CT English Liberal

THE LIFE OF FRANCIS PLACE. p
vGIanAn Wallas. Alfred A Knopf, Ne
Francis Place is an outstanding fig
ure in the history of British Liberal
ism. lie took a more or less active
part in every democratic movement
from the Corresponding Society to the
Chartlsts. A self-made man in the
best sense Of the phrase, his rise from
early poverty to comparative affluence
was not accompanied by an abandon
ment of intellectual interests. On the
contrary, avoiding public office and
averse to personal self-exploitation he
contributed more hard work to the
cause of social and political reform
than many Of his more loud-mouthed ID
contemporaries.
Place had a good deal of the spirit
of John Hampden in him. Not given
to frothy agitation, he was willing to
resist tyranny by force if necessary
Mr. Wailas gives an interesting ae-
count of his course in 1882, when it
seemed as If the government might
support the House of Lords in throw
ing out the first parliamentary cleo
toral reform bill Place was in con-
stant communicate with radicals and
Liberals all over Britain; and plans
were fully worked for an armed rebel
lion If the reactionary Duke of Well
ington attempted to thwart the will of
the people by the use of troops.
Among other devices Place suggested
the idea of starting a run on the Lon
don banks as means of threatening
the government with financial panic
If its policy were not changed. With
a tino disregard for possible personal
consequences, Place repeatedly in
formed the royal ministers that an in
surrection would take place if they
did not yield on the reform bill. Over
awed by the irmness and unity of the
people, the government finally gave
way and the impending civil war was
averted
Although not reckless man, Place
was quite fearless when he felt that a
question of principle was involved. In
l794 the government was prosecuting
members of the Corresponding Society,
an organization of English sympathi-
zers with the French Revolution, on
charges of sedition. On this occasion
Place writes:
"The violent proceedings of the
government frightened away many of
the members of the society, and it's
number was very considerably dimin-
ished. Many persons, however, of
whom I was one, considered it merito-
rious and the performance Of duty
to become members now that it was
threatened with violence and its
founder and secretary was prosecuted
This improved the character of the So
ciety. as most of those who joined it
were men Of decided character, sober
thin king men, not likely to be easily
nut from their purpose"
Place, as an employing tailor, never
forgot that he had once been work
