Company.
r TITLE stories about big men
wouldn't be a bad title for this
- elaboration of a national re-
norter's notebook Lowry is good
sketch artist and knows how to pick
the few lines that suggest the whole
character. He applies his method to
a score of leaders-about as varied a
lot of men as could be strung together
Here is hint of Harding, drawn
simply from his choice of words;
"The second impression I brought
away is that the President has, at
least two pet words that he uses con-
stantly. They are becoming and
seemly:' l think 1t will be observed
of him, as he becomes a more intimate
and accustomed apparition to all of
us, that he cannot talk very long on
any subject without using one of these
two words and, perhaps, both of them.
| present this fact to the Freudians.
Let them make what they can of it."
The author has happy way of hit
ting off his subject with a line of
poetry or an old proverbial phrase:
"Gaily the troubadour" heads the
Bryan chapter. And for contrast here
is the silent Coolidge:
HE is close, close, close, and as de-
tached as villa site. His letters are
even briefer than his spoken words.
One that know about consists merely
of one word and the initials, C. c. If
this is a fair sample, and l assume
that it is, when his life and letters
come to be published they can be
issued on one octave postal card.

barrassed or tongue tied. He was just

to Mr.. Roosevelt. There used to be a
story current that one day when the
President asked the advice of the At

then pressing. Mr.. Knox reliied

the World. Whether as reporter or
editor he gave satisfaction. Both
Bennett and Pulitzer had implicit con-
fidence in him. Chambers could have
gone as high as he chose.
One of his chief contributions was
the freak" news story and the
freak" headline. Dana also had a
great fondness for freaks" as crcu-
lation builders, but it is possible that
both men became aware of the value
OF the idea at the same time, or at
least during the same period. tN
Many of the anecdotes are interest
ing and well told. Determined to en-
ter journalism, Chambers, the youth,
set out, and sent his card in to Horace
Greeley in the office of the Tribune.

the outburst, as the editor swung
back to his desk.
OF his meeting with Mr.. Bennett,
Jr, he tells the following story: Far

and shoulders were moving at racing
speeds His brown hair was cropped

rocco, and covered with sparkling

Interesting to present day news
paper folk is the anecdote which
seems to indicate that book reviewing
was not always in high repute. THE
next conflict with a member of the
staff occurred when man engaged to
write editorial matter was asked to
review a new biography of Shelley.

The ceremonial in honor of the

"Of course" he tells Ursula, I'D

conclusions. First of all, why not sin?
Secondly. Ursula Trent" is in danger
of being suppressed. A book, accord
ing to the suppressors, can contain as
much sin as 1t wants, II only the
wages adhere to tradition. But Ursula
didn't suffer, she wasn't even family
tinged with remorse.
The story Is long, rather struggling,

does not seem to be. in style at least,
the w. l.. George who wrote "A Bed

the fact that she is writing the story
herself, does not live for the reader
as Victoria Fulton did. Perhaps 1t is
the very fact that the story is written
in the first person that makes for
awkwardness, but the awkwardness is
there.
The same spirit, however, that ami
mated "A Bed of Roses" is evinced
in the new book. Mr.. Georges greatest
charm, and the greatest charm of all
the women he writes about, is their
delightful casualness. One grows so

cease SHINING because the thing they

bothering to sin.

This bit of dialogue is characteristic.
The characters in this book are not
distinguished. particularly. save for
their wonderful casualness. Casual
ness, if only it were recognized is the
keynote of this generation. Girls like
Ursula, girls from good families, with
the best traditions, actually do the
things that Ursula does like Ursula.
without feeling smirched. 1t Is not
because fundamentally they are any
different from girls who dare less and
suffer more. 1t is because they are
casual, have a simple set of values
and do not muddle issues with senti-
mentality.
Ursula Trent" is a remarkable book
in this one respect. Not once does II,
nor it's heroine. make dramatic
gesture. Ursula takes from life every
thing she can, gives what she must,
and has no regrets. Many women will
read about her enviously.

That of Colonies
THE MAKING OF A REPUBLIC. b,

THE MAKING OF A REPUBLIC. BY
Kelvin r. O'Shiel. Frederick A.
| Stokes Company.
TN the days of Louis XIV. the
French encyclopedias evaded the
i censor by describing sufferings Of
Oriental or fantastic nonexistent peo-
Piles which coincided with the woes
of the French peasantry. The hoax
was apparent even to the sand blind.
To-day Mr.. O'Shiel with a censor to
evade has turned out history of the
American Revolution written so as to
serve as propaganda for the cause of
Sim Fein in Ireland. The propaganda
| is level with the text - that for some
| readers the book will seem, and for
the most part is. history pure and
simple. Those who are sensitive, how
ever. will get the authors shaft when
ever the string twangs. What this
book does with early American history
is hallowed by tradition, yet somehow
one cannot help feeling that it is in a
small way irreverence.
Mr.. O'shiel points out parallels be-
tween the struggles of the American
colonies and Ireland to-day in the
course of a brief introduction. In the
foisting of British officers and ap-
pointees upon the colonies, in laws of
coercion, and In reppisal by boycott
exist, according to the author, and
as a matter of fact an exact parallel
to conditions in Ireland. The Tory
menace is likened to the Ulster diff
Guilty, point upon which many will
disagree.
Although the stress is laid on such
facts as coercion, boycotting and the
Irish names of some of the volunteers,
the history Of the Revolution is told
in clear, straightforward fashion. The
concluding chapter entitled "Ireland's $
Part in the Revo,-, -,tion" pins many a
shining flower to the lapel of Ireland
and her sons.
From the start of hostilities able
bodied Irishmen joined up in thou
sands" he writes. "They were the
backbone of the insurgent army. En-
thusiastic. disciplined bearing terrible
privations with stoical cheerfulness,
they were at all times the only regi-
ments which Washington could thor
oughly trust
"A hundred and fifty Irishmen an
swered the Minute call at Lexington.
At Bunker Hill, the first regular bat
tie of the Revolution, O'Briens,
O'Haras. Phelans, Quins. Donagheys.
Dempseys, Donnellys, Farrells, Doyles,
Duffys, Connollys. resisted the British
onslaught with desperate valor; and
the same can be said Of every other
battle Of the campaign"
The author quotes the testimony of
the Tory speaker of the Assembly of
Pennsylvania, Mr.. Galloway, given be-
fore the. House of Commons in 1879, in
response to a question as to the COM
position Of the rebel army, as follows:
"The names and places of their ma
tivity being taken down can answer
the question with precision. There
were scarcely quarter, natives of
America; about a half Irish: the other
quarter were English and Scotch"
In addition Mr.. O'Shiel shows that
the Irish played a role in naval and
civil affairs. and that the Irish ele-
ment in the British army deserted in
large numbers shortly after their ar
rival.
