An Exodus of Booksellers

The spring has seen the departure Of
many American booksellers for the
chief book centers of England and
France in search Of any available treas
ures. The United States is rapidly be-
coming the storehouse for the major
precious volumes and scarce issues Of
Europe
The latest dealer to leave for Europe
is Harry +. Marks, we'll known book
seller and collector Of New York City.
Mr.. Marks is also executing a few pri-
vate commissions for American book
collectors.
The indications are that American
book buyers will have host Of lit
erary treasures to choose from this
year, as booksellers who have already
returned report an increasingly ex-
tensive exchange of rare books from
England and France TO America.

Since the publication of his philoso-
phical essay, "Above the Battle" Ro
main ROLAND has been employing a
characteristically French weapon in at
tacking militarism. Following the ex
ample of Voltaire in "Candide," ne has
brought irony into play. His first ex-
attainment of great ideal And "Colas
Breugnon," may be described as com
plete success Although the scene Of
this novel is laid in medieval France. it
constitutes very effective literary crit
lclsm Of the war psychosis The work
is tribute to sanity. tolerance, good
will and comfortable living, to all the
normal virtues that are necessarily set
aside in war fercely waged for the
attainment of great ideal. A "Colas
Breugnon" is convincing largely be-
cause the propagandst element is re-
duced to a minimum.
M. ROLAND uses the same method. in
somewhat different form, in the latest
work, the ironical fantasy, "Liluli.'
(Boni e. Liveright.) Liuli means illu-
sion, and the author describes man
kind blindly pursuing illusion to its
own destruction. NJ. ROLAND gives free
| rein to his imagination and brings upon
the stage motley array Of symbolic
figures. There is Polichinello, the wise
old dog who cannot be caught by illu-
SION, and who looks upon her victims
with mingled pity and derision. And
there is Polonius, who "belongs to all

Then there are all sorts Of choruses
and pageants, together with crowds of
Gallipoulets and Huluberoches, the for

fall into the familiar amateurs blunder
of making the fantasy too literal in its
implications; there are occasional pas
sages of pure sportiveness, and there is
much that cannot be fitted into any
cast-iron theory Of Interpretation, but
the meaning Of the fantasy is clear

ion, go to the making of wars. The
author is peculiarly severe on the nom
combatant intellectuals. He caricatures
their position in the following dog
gerel
"Ah, isn't it brave--to so down to
the grave-when ones quite boy
one gets all life's joy--and none of
Its worries, or hurries, or scurries. If
| were in YOUR youthful skin how
gladly Id hattle-or gladlier send
these stupid cattle to meet their end.

ger. If only I were twenty years
younger"
ROLAND reveals an excellent talent
for burlesque; some of his scenes are
quite worthy of Aristophanes, whom
he seems to follow as a model The
speech of Polonius, the advocate of the
league of nations who does not wish to
proceed at too rapid a pace, is fine
piece of satire.
The farce suffers at times from too
much earnestness. Irony depends for
it's effect largely upon the light, velvet
touch; and Rolland's passion occasion
ally overmasters him and forces him
to strike out little too bluntly As
a whole, however, the play must stand
as fine contribution to imaginat tive
literature. The translation is not free
from faults; such expression a "tripes"
and "crikey" have no meaning for an
American audience. Perhaps the trans
lator is more familiar with English
than with American vernacular The
quaint effect of the work is enhanced
by thirty-two fantastic woodcuts by
Frans Masereel.

self rs the returned prodigal, and his
last years are gladdened by the belief
in his sons reform. In her male char
acter she works unswervingly for suf-
frage and the cause Of women. Her
disguise is finally penetratcd after
many adventures, when, on winning a
celebrated case. she faints into the arms
of man who has liked her enthusiastic
cally as boy and who falls in love
with her when he knows she is a woman.
He is scientist, unfortunately mar
ried.
Sir Henry Johnston takes few liber-
ties with the characters of Vivie and
Mrs. Warren. Nivie does make it up
with her mother, though she makes it
pretty plain that she does not approve
of her. Mrs. Warren stands in mortal
awe of her daughter, and to win her ap-
proval becomes respectable and gives
large sums of her tainted money to
suffrage. Nevertheless, she remains a
warm, high-spirited human creature,
who at bottom is unregenerate She
submits to specializing her hotels,
lets Vivien take away her brandy, stops
dyeing her hair-but she frequently re-
fers to her past and occasionally jus
titles her business
Vivie continues to be a metallic sort
of young woman, and good deal of a
prig. Our interest in Nivie was never
very keen. But our interest in Mrs.
Warren was very warm indeed, and Sir
