even more decisively in Lorraine. before

did on the Ourcq.

Won Kluck says justly that the High
Command, under Moltke, was lax and
hesitating. He also says that for success
on the German right wing several more
divisions were needed. That is a sound
conclusion, concurred in by General
Baron Freytag- Loringhoven, Assistant
Chief of the General Staff, perhaps the
fairest and most competent of German
military critics, who also put his views
in writing before the end of the war.

Social Problems
Henry F. Cope Suggests
Roads to Democracy
ENRY FREDERICK COPIES Ed.

v Y ENRY FREDERICK COPIES Ed
ucation for Democracy" Mac
milan Company is a rather
random essay on the social problems
confronting us to-day. a little too
wordy, but redeemed by an unusual
"Reminiscences and an ability to face
the truth without finching.
Mr.. Cope points out that there is not
much use in having political democracy
if there is no economic democracy. Tbs
way to bring about the latter forms the
subject of his book
On the whole, the work seems to be
4 compilation of existing theories
rather than a distinct contributions
unless indeed Mr.. Cope's frankness in
discussing such matters as the use Of
the Bible in public schools and the
problems of world living as distinct
from the old order of national living
is in itself a contribution to the usually
cant-ridden patter Of educators on live
topics.
Mr.. Cope blames the present social
unrest on the fact that we have neither
prepared our young for democracy nor
practiced it ourselves, and that during
the World War we suspended it alto
gether. But the remedy for the unrest
and the defense against Bolshevism,h he
argues, lies not in restricting democ-
racy but in increasing it. The public
school is the way; it is the people who
must supply the will.

Story of Struggle Between
Two Duties in Life

A NY problem Of life that involves

in its treatment in q novel. The
snares and pitfalls arc many. So we
opened zephine Humphreys "Thc
Sword of the Spirit" (Dutton) with a
secret prediction that the author would
offend or amuse us. We apologize for
our doubts as to her ability to handle
great elements of a great struggle with
daring and yet completely successful
examination and presentation. Her
book goes through the mesh of creed
and rite to the heart of humanity
within and, capturing our attention at
the start, carries us on through a
shrewdly wrought argumentative plot
to conclusion that is logical predcs-
tined in the journey Of the narrative.
A young woman, Isabel Pyne, High
Church Episcopalian, marries Herbert
Lathrop, whose family is Of the First
Congregational Church in the city of
Brdgchaven. At the very threshold of
married life, even as the two are riding
from the wedding service, the girl slips
into her church to kneel before Father
Hartly and receive his benediction. We
perceive that a clash is bound to ensuc

sanctlty in his home. Isabel, once es-
tabished in their house, creates a hid
den place of prayer in an abandoned
room, where she hangs a crucifix on
the wall. Herbert SCOTS at her zeal,
her unwavering loyalty to church and
ritual.
A daughter is born, to die and leave
Isabel more lonely than ever. In the
mean time a young and fascinating
curate, Percy Randolph, comes to St.
Johns. He is drawn to Isabel and she
to him, for he reads her sorrow and
loneliness, and she believes that She
has found in him a spirit that well
comes confession. In a dramatic mo-
ment, in her secret little place of
prayer. they feel the awakening of a
love, or a first flame of love, that
threatens to consume them, with the
world, the church and all but the devil
forgotten.
From that inhahmatory hour on to
the end of the novel we witness q slow
turning of a tide, Herbert's love COM

compromise on a homo life not too
worldly, not too unreal with intrudinr
mysticism. They have found their via
media of sane, reasonable living.
In "The Sword of the Spirit" one is
assured of mastery treatment of an
extremely difficult subject. zephine
Humphrey moves her characters with
the precision and the provision of an
expert chess player who sees victory
ahead beyond many battling conditions.
We know of no recent novel on the
problem of the church and the home
and the human soul that surpasses it.
IN It's fidelity to a truth hard to dis

~ NE of the most interesting
features of Colonel J. f. c.
Fuller's excellent work, "Tanks
IN the Great War, 1914-191S'
(Dutton) is an account, with illustra-
ton, OF medieval efforts to realize the
principle of the modern tank. As the
author points out, the knight himself,
clothed in impenetrable armor, was q
-Sry formidable "tank" before the
Gays of gunpowder. There are many
historical instances in which handful
of knights routed and slaughtered great
hordes of insurgent peasants.
The knight in armor disappeared as
gunpowder was used with increasing
effectiveness. Colonel Fuller gives the
following sketch of the "war carts
and "war chariots" of the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries:
Medieval Tanks
Conrad Kyescr, in his military
manuscript, written between 1895 and
1905, pictures several battle cars.
Some of these are equipped with lances,
while others are armed with cannon
A few years later, in 1920, Fontana de-
signed a large battle car. apd the
following year Archinger another, to
enclose no fewer than 100 men. All
these cars were moved by means of
muscle power, i. e. men or animals
harnessed inside them.
with all these carts the limitations
imposed upon them by muscular motive
force must have been considerable on
any save perfectly firm and level
ground, consequently other means of
movement were attempted, and during
the last quarter of the fifteenth
century the battle car enters its
second phase. In work of Valturio's
dated 1472 design is to be found of
one of these vehicles propelled by
means Of wind wheels. Ten years later
we find Leonardo da Vinci engaged in
the design of another type of self
moving machine. Writing to Ludovico
Sforza he says:
"I am building secure and covered
chariots which are invulnerable, and
when they advance with their guns
into the midst of the foe, even the
largest enemy masses must retreat;
and behind them the infantry can fol-
low safely and without opposition
Tank Operation Foreseen
"What the motive force of this
engine of war was is unknown, but the
above description is that of the tank
of to-day, in fact SO accurate is this
description that Leonardo da Vinc,
nearly $50 years ago, had clearer
idea of tank operation than many a
British soldier had prior to the battle
of Cambria, fourteen months after the
first tank had taken the field"
Students of the Great War will find
an abundance of interesting material
in Colonel Fullers exhaustive study of
the British tanks contribution to the
Allied victory. First introduced as an

Peasants of Russ
Burning Forests
Dy HENRY WOOD

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, Sept 25. (By Mail.)-Rur'
sia's great forests, constituting one OF
her most valuable natural resources
and one of the worlds last great
supplies of timber, are being ruth
lessly burned to the ground by the
Russian peasants in an effort to de-
feat Bolshevism.
With the necessity Of laying in
huge stocks Of wood and fuel in or
der to stave off the rigors of the
coming winter, the Soviets some time
ago gave orders for the cutting down
and transportation OF huge sections
of the Russian forests The peas
ants were recruited by force to do
the work This proved the last
straw.
TO prevent the execution of this
order, the peasants have fired the for
ests and these forest fires are now
raging throughout Russia in the
most devastating degree. Not only
are whole forests being burned to
the ground, but scores of villages and
thousands of single houses that are
in the path of the sweeping forests
fires are disappearing i'll flames
Detailed news of this action of
the peasants has just been received
in Paris by NJ. Kerenski from one of
his supporters still remaining in
Russia.
The letter which the latter has
just sent to Paris reads in part as
follows:
You know probably that Russia
is burning. Enormous tracts of tim
bered land have become the prey of
flames and both large and small viii /
ages as well as entire quarters of
larger cities are likewise disap'
pearing, ravaged by the flames. The
Red Cock stalks everywhere, free
and gay from one end of the coun-
try to the other. All efforts to fight
this scourge remain useless, because
the Russian peasant wants to burn
and burns deliberately.
In its despair and in its powerless
hate, the entire Russian peasantry
has decided to fall back on this an
ique means Of vengeance The Red
Cock against the Bolsheyists.
The hate of the peasants against
he present regime has never be-
fore attained the intensity that it
low has. And it is precisely at
he present moment that the Soviets
laye proposed to prepare the stocks
of wood and fuel necessary for heat
ng during the coming winter They
lave undertaken a systematic cut
ing down of the forests in the cen
raj and northern departments.
The peasants burn first the for
sts, then the villages and finally
bandon completely the districts, emi-
grating to Siberia.
To add to this disaster all of
he territory between Tambor to the
ranaries of the Volga departments
Samard and Saratov) have su- er-
d immensely from drouth.

Ie can clothe themselves.
