Students Of Spiritism
Attacked by Psycho-Analyst
DR.. Lay Thinks That Interest in Psychical
Research Is Symptom of
Second Childhood

DDS of those who are investigating
psychic phenomena. Such people, he
says, are attempting to acquire an am
plifcation of the ego by their interest
in the "so-called marvels OF spiritism. /"
If we were all clairvoyant and telepathic,
he says, these people would have to find
some rarer phenomenon to interest
them and to enlarge their egos.
He is decidedly severe toward the
scientists who have taken up the in
vestgation of psychic phenomena.
Such scientists, he declares, lay aside
the scientific method when they invite
mediums into their laboratories. He
points out that most Of these scientists
are old men who have rejected in their
youth the possibility of scientific proof
of survival, and turn to it only at the
time of life when some sort of survivs
has peculiar desirability in their
eyes. When young people are more
than verbally interested in the subject
he declares that it is an indication that
their love life is straining after sym.
bols in the place of realities which fate
denies them.
II cannot too strongly emphasize,
he writes, chat the abandonment o,
the reality principle Of thought is the
first step leading toward second child

| AMERICA AND THE RACE FOR WORLD
lated by Arthur Bartlett Maurice. Pub
lished by Doubleday, Page & Co.
"<HE tremendous shift in economic
power from Europe to America
Il and Japan, which has taken
place as a result of the war, is force
fully analyzed by M. Demangeon. The
author is professor of geography at the
Sorbonne, and the book has already
been published in France until the title
"Le Decln de L'Europe."
AS Professor Demangeon points out,
the former economic prosperity of such
countries as Germany, France and Eng
land cannot be attributed solely to
their wealth in natural resources.
These nations were, to large extent,
the worlds bankers and traders Part
of their national income was derived
from the ownership of foreign securi~
ties.
The war completely upset the deli
cate balance of international CONNER
cial relations. The victorious Allies, as
we'll as the defeated Central Powers,
were plunged deeply into debt. They
were compelled to sell their foreign Sc
curities. Forced to concentrate all
their energies upon the prosecution of
the great struggle, their control of the
worlds trade routes slipped away from
them. They became increasingly un-
able to meet the vigorous competition
of Japan and the United States. Now
they are at once heavily burdened with
debt and deprived Of some of their for
mer means of meeting thir obligations.
The United States and Japan, in the
authors opinion, have forged ahead in
the race for world dominion.
Professor Demangeon supports his
thesis with mass of convincing statis-
tics. He shows how European exports
dwindled appallingly during the war,
and how American and Japanese mer-
chants were quick to take advantage of
the abandoned markets. He describes
the recent enormous industrial expan-
sion of America, and lays particular
stress upon the emergence of large,
American owned merchant marine fleet
This development will probably take
/ away from Great Britain much of her
former carrying trade.
The author fears that European
manufacturers will soon be compelled
to face American competition on their
own ground, as number of large
American industrial corporations are
already buying and establishing plants
in Europe.

finally infants"
The main thesis Of DR.. Lays book
is that "all so-called communications
instead of being from q conscious cea-
troll by another personality, physically
separate from the medium, arc IN re1..
ity from an unconscious control by =
secondary or subsidiary personality Of
the medium himself or herself. In the
average man or woman leading rea-
sonably extraversional existence the
unconscious wishes do not have the op-
portunity to become compressed into
other subsidiary personalities. In the
medium who is of more or less in-
troversional nature the unconscious
wishes do have this opportunity"
The conditions at seance, DR.. Lay
says, are unconsciously arranged so
that the reality feeling will easily be
transferred from external Impressions
to mental images. The lights are
turned low and sounds excluded "The
psychicsl researchers have set trap
for spirit and the spirit does indeed
appear the mental images in
the consciousness of the sitter"
Just how these mental images can
be photographed DR.. Lay does not at
tempt to explain. It is weak spot in
his armor. He lays himself open to a
further broadside on Page 2s4, when
he says first that neither proof nor
disproof lof Immortality worthy of
being called scientific has ever been
presented" and then goes on to say:
Il do not believe that all men are
mortal. l know it by other
means more scientific than sense per-
ception.'

A Romance at Sea

SATAN. BY H. De We're stackpoole. Pub
lished by Robert NJ. Mcbride g. Co.
THIS novel follows closely the
regular outlines Of the old-fash-
ioned pirate story The scene is
laid in the Spanish Main; there is talk
of buried treasure, whose location is
revealed by a mysterious chart, and
there are incorrigible villains who try
to monopolize the hidden gold for them
selves, by fraud or force.
But Mr.. Stackpoole has written a
comedy, not tragedy. The sunken
gold is never very real, and the buc-
cancers of his story are not very des-
perate, after all. When they come tc
blows their weapons are not pistols
and cutlasses, but mops, frying pans
and whisky bottles
"Satan," the hero of the book, is 6
sort of Huck Finn of the sea, wht
cruises about the West Indies in I
disreputable ship. which his tomhoy
sister, Jude, helps him navigate. Satar
is quite friendly and companionabl'
with those who treat him we'll, but wot
betide any one who tries to cheat him
He has singular faculty for alway'
getting the best of any bargain.
Satan and Jude acquire a passenger
in a young Englishman who is boret
with the conventional stiffness of hi'
friends yacht and decides to embark
on = cruise with the two vagabonds
The various adventures which the three
encounter make delightful and enter

of which he writes: "The dance was
gambol of passion. 1t was free ex-

minstrelsy combined. So rapid was the
movement SO fast the music, so strenu-
Gus the singing. and so actual the
vision of the dancer, that she exhaust
ed herself in few minutes, and an
other took her place" However, it is
only fair to add that O'Brien himself
did not join in until the dancing be-
came general and the party was about
to break up.

Elm and not seeming particularly to
care whether or not he is talking only
to himself. Of that there is small
danger.
SO the book goes on in an informal
easy way. The author is sensible of
the fact that next to eating strange
dishes folk like to read about them 1t
may even be that there are those who
would prefer to read of O'Briens raw
fish rather than to sample 1T. He gos-
sips about various parties in Tahiti.
and who was there and what they drank.
The book is animated by vast amount
of small detail. There is no great
sense in it, or OF any particular plan.
O'Brien has simply allowed his mind
to wander over various happenings.
There is even the impression that here
and there he adds little invention of
his own, unwilling to let a good story
languish for want of little help.
But his concern is not alone for the
wine of Tahiti. There is ample atten-
tion paid to the women of the island
and little to the song. Through
scenes of vice and carnival the author
moves dispassionately. He does not
judge his neighbors, but by his very
example he sets a noble example Of
restraint and right living. There are
times, however, when one feels that he
is taking rather undue pains in the de-
scription of temptation, so that his own
virtue shall lose nothing in the telling.

We've read OF earliest years;
And now the race developed on

From varying Viewpoints start;

Like different schools Of art:
Or like those foolish dinners, with
Each course a block apart
But II. q. Wells, with one broad sweep
The Universe takes in;
And nowhere is It spread too thick,
And nowhere laid too thin.
As neat as any pin.

Snapped@from an aeroplane;

Where not trick is missed, and yet
There's naught set down in vain,
The beauty of the book is clear

It's the perspective Of the thing
You get it all at once.
In History's history 1t must be
The greatest OF all stunts!
It's worth more than the price they ask,

A Prophetic Novel
Future Scenes Portrayed
by Mary Briarly

IN HIS OWN IMAGE. BY Mary Briarly.
Published by the Macmillan Company.
"a T OVELS vivisecting women have
~ usually been written by men.
There are classic examples,
such as Nine. Bovary, The Red Lily,
Diana of the Crossways, Tess of the
D'Urbervilles and Main Street. The
estimate Of these analyses depends
upon the readers point Of view and ex-
perience. 1t has always been matter
OF some discussion as to how and why
and whether the writer could attain
such intimate feeling for the processes
of the female mind and emotions.
From q woman's viewpoint, at least,
Mary Briarly has made a striking sue
cess in her portrayal of women in this
her first novel, In His Own Image.
With a somewhat old fashioned skill
she carries along plots and sub-plots
unfolding her four principal characters
-four women Of different age, environ
ment, training and character, each rep
resentative of her own type.
Margaret De Witt, the wife of stiff,
respectable gentleman, has been all her
life potentially a rebel. In the light of
new political and public opportunity for
women her real self has a chance for
expression, which she grasps in the face
of her husbands protests. Her daugh
ter is typical Of the softer young wom-
an, who has had the freedom and back
ground her mother lacked. Helen De
Witt with her ability to think and act
without losing her idealistic side, rep
resents some of the purpose of her
mothers struggle and suffering.
Veda Brussilov, Russian girl, who
is leader among the working women
at the L. & A. works, has very definitely
progressive ideas, but is not an advo-
cate of radicalism. Minette Doty, q
little butterfly Of American parentage,
who also is one of the workers, is the
most sympathetic and vivid of these
four main characters.
The time of Miss Briarly's novel
might be called the present future.
She does not tie herself to anything
more definite than nineteenth twenty
some thing.
Many of the problems being worked
out are those Of to-day in a more ad-
vanced stage than they hava reached
at present. Women are active in po-
litical life, and the ono legislative
measure in which at least two of the
heroines are vitality interested shows a
sort of second cousin relationship to Mr.
Bryan's idea of q Twentieth Amend
ment.

French Critic Is Made Plain
in ESSAYS

PHILOsoPH1C NIGHTS IN PARIS. BY
Remy de Gourmont. Published by John
w. Luce & Co.
n ENVY DE GOURMONT was i'm
N portant in the history Of letters
as the "interpreter of the SYM
bolistic movement in French poetry"
He was, as Isaac Goldberg says in his
Introduction to Philosophic Nights in
Paris, more than that, for his interests
thrust out, as light-seeking twigs from
branch, into the diverse atmospheres
of the English pre- Raphaelites and the
German Hegelian idealists. To many
men these are but arid areas for the
gymnastics of thought, and De Gour-
mont, finding himself confined by his
own self-imposed early limitations,
ventured forth to "play with IDEAS"
and not any longer with the words and
the images of ideas.
In this book are dozen of de Gour-
mont's brief writings, pages rich in a
salty comm mentary on life and an
austerely perfect diction. The man was
HOt d pcSSlHllSl, ana yet 1ell SNOTt
of accepting the role of optimist.
Nietzsche was too much with him in ac-
cordance of views and moods to permit
the love of the finely chiseled phrase
to lure him to surrender to beauty as
symbol of imm ortality All through
these twelve essays are sentences Of
cool clarity that bring life or an ele-
ment of life to visible stature as
through the transparent lens of a mag
nifying glass. Franklin might have
written some of De Gourmont's aphor-
isms, Nietzsche others, but Amiel not
one.
Here are two typical fragments
"The terrible thing about the quest for
truth is that you find it," "Posterity is
schoolboy who IS condemned to learn
hundred verses by heart. He learns
ten of them and mumbles few sylla
bles OF the rest. The ten are glory;
the rest is literary history"

THE Christian decades-we refer to
the years that define the life
of Christ-have been source
ground of plots for novels that create
fancied incidents clustering around the
traditional episodes Of the New Testa-
ment Naturally the powerful magnet
of the life of Christ, dramatic and emo
tional, acts as cohesive force in all
these efforts to make his life, or sec
tions of it, move through the chapters
of modern fiction
Burris Jenkins, in Princess Salome
(Lippincott) has immersed himself to a
remarkable degree in the tide of color
and event of the third and fourth dec
AIDES of the Christian era. We confess
that we opened his book with misgiv-
ing-so many writers have failed in
their attempts to picture the days of
Bethlehem, Bethany and Jerusalem
but his first fifty pages converted us to
the conviction that he is at home, with
both feet over the boundary, in the
land and the hours of the inception
and development of the Christian re-
ligion.
Jenkins introduces three young men
at the outset: Stephanas, Grecian
Jew; Shaoul, his close friend, and
Gomar, gladiator, who is on the road
to join the military guard of Pontius
PLATE. The three have left Tarsus,
their home town, and are entering
Antioch. Here Stephanas is seen by
Salome, daughter of Herodias, from her
chariot as she dashes through the
streets. The young fellows splendid
physique suggests the athlete, and, as
games in the hippodrome are set for
tomorrow, Salome halts her horses,
speaks to him, invites him to run for
her against an Arab in the Roman mile
i, race. Stephanas consents, the race is
run, and, just as Stcphanas is about to
win, an earthquake shakes the walls of
the hippodrome, throws Salome from
her chariot and into the arms of
Stephanas, who has abandoned the race
to save her. Quite naturally, the two
find themselves on the verge of love.
From this point the story gathers i'm
petus rapidly. One by one Biblical
characters step into the stride OF the
narrative until, finally, we have John
the Baptist, Christ Him self, Judas Is
CARROT, Mary, Martha, Lazarus and
Mary Magdalene. The web of anecdote
and conversation that enmeshes then
is rich in scenic values and the truth
of vivid history. An unusual effect is
achieved through the bringing in o1
| these personalities in the guise of theil
Jewish names, strange to US. When WI
