500, 600 Brooklyn Fire
Is Charged to Cigarette
Series of Blazes in City Keep
Firemen Busy During
First Cold Snap

Firemen were busy yesterday. They
generally are when a cold snap hits
the city, particularly the first one OF
the season. The fires which caused the
most trouble yesterday, however, were
those in factory and loft buildings
rather than homes.
A cigarette thrown near a barrel of
gasoline is believed by Fire Marshal
Thomas Brophy to have caused a fire
which swept through siX-story factory
at 49 Clymer Street, Brooklyn, about
noon. Seven hundred employees got
out by way of the fire escapes. Four
alarms were turned in. The damage
was estimated at 100000.
About the same amount of damage
was wrought by fire which started
IN the evening in three-story brick
factory building at 712 Wythe Avenue
1t was feared that the flames would
spread to tenements adjoining the
structure, and the occupants of four OF
five were ordered out. Two alarms
were sent in.
A three STORY brick store and loft
building at 917 Eighth Avenue, Man
haitian, was destroyed early in the
morning by a fire which brought ten
ants Of various theatrical lodging
houses in the vicinity to the street in
droves with their cats, dogs, parrots
and other pets. The damage was esti-
mated at $4,000. Four alarms were
turned in.

never leaves the Foreign Office.
Mrs. Sheridan insists that she is not
Communist, but she found many
things to admire in Soviet Russia. She
speaks Of the cultural enthusiasm of the
masses, who crowd the picture galleries
and the concert halls. On the eve Of
her departure for England she writes:
My work is ended, but I am loath to-
go. | love this place. l love the people
who pass by me in the street. / love
the atmosphere laden with melancholy,
with sacrifice, with tragedy. l am in

| admire the dignity of their suffering
and the courage of their belief.
II would like to live among them for
ever, or else work for them outside;
work and fight for the peace that will
heal their wounds"
Mrs. Sheridan returned home to find
many talking of her and her expedition.
Some of her old friends deserted her,
but she found many new ones. She be-
came acquainted with George Dansbury,
editor of The London Daily Herald, and
commenced bust of him, but this work
was interrupted by her departure for
America. She sailed on the Aquitania
with Admiral Huse, Sir Philip Gibbs, Sir
Ernest Shackleton and other distin-
guished passengers. The diary is
brought up to date by several entries
written after the author reached New
York.
A Cousin of Winston Churchill
An element of piquancy Is lent to Mrs.
Sheridan's jaunt into Soviet Russia by
the fact that she is a cousin Of Winston
Churchill, who Is probably the most Wig
orous and outspoken enemy Of Boil
shevism among the British statesmen.
The author pays her cousin doubtful
compliment when she observes:
"Winston is the only man l know in
England who is made Of the stuff that
Bolsheviks are made of. He has fight,
force and fanaticism."

Bolshevik leaders. For it is a fascinat-

with wit, vivacity and intelligence.

There were only three Anzac divi-
sions at Galiipoli, with some minor de-
tachments-hardly more than 60sD0c
men in all. The entire land losses OF
the British in killed and missing were
39,454. Australia's losses in killed and
missing for the entire war were less,
than 10000. Yet the author repeats, on
Page 142. his most extraordinary
statement: "rsrnt Britain sent her
finest ships to force the Dardanelies.
She lost 100000 Of the finest Anglo
Saxon troops in the vain attempt"
Most of the ships sent to the Stfaits
were obsolete types whose loss could

TWISTED TRAILS BY Henry oyen.
Published by George II. Doran Company,
New York.
TT ERE is a book with a Whit of
IT novelty, story Of thrills and
surprises, with the Mississippi
River and< the tangled forests of
Louisiana as backgrounds. Stephen
Warren, a New Englander with a jaw
that suggests granite, appears in the
first chapter padding his canoe on
bayou. Suddenly q rife, cracks and q
bullet sings near his head. This is his
introduction to maze of danger and
to the Snake" an elusive and highly
picturesque plottcr for the heart of a
girl and the cash she can command
through inheritance.
There are at least three struggles in
this good story, and each is handled
with the skill of a student of combat:
the hand-to-hand fist fight between
Stephen and the bruising ex-pugilist,
Bomb Carkey; the great race-and 1t is
great--between the splendid horses
Mailer and Hammer, and the run
ming swamp fight between Stephen and
the "Snake" in the waterways of a
lower Mississippi region Any one Of
them, and all three lead to the eventual
happy elimination Of the love of
Stephen and the girl Estella, would
make the success of an average mod
ern novel. To get them all in one
piece of fiction of about 800 pages.
with no little amelioration of severity
in the accompaniment of delicate pic
| lures of Louisiana life and customs, is
almost more than one can expect in
these days of hastily and usually
wretchedly written novels. Not star
story, but yet definitely good one.

in the Anderson interview makes un-

Criticism Of Poe
The author does not adhere with ab~

laire. He dcvotes few pages Of criti.

profoundly. Mr.. Symons finds an sun-
holy magic" in Poe's writings---in their
preoccuPation with the terrible. the
abnormal, the supernatural, in their in
sistence upon the working out of in
evitable, evil fate amid SURROUNDINGS
of weird horror.
The author also discusses the work
OF Villiers de rIsle Adam, the Breton
aristocrat who has created tales of fan
tastic beauty and evolved philosophy
OF life animated by spiritual pride and
deep contempt for the mediocre and
the commonplace. But it is always to
Baudelaire that the author returns. He
shows the brilliant, wayward poet wan
dering like ghost amid the cafes of
Paris, observing the night life of the
French capital without enjoying it.
exiled to Brussels, finally dying after
painful illness in which he lost the
power Of speech.
Baudelaire is Enthusiastically a repre-
sentative Of modern French culture,
mellowed and refined by centuries of
exquisite literary craftsmanship. No
one possesses more delicate appre-
citation Of beauty, no one appreciates
more thoroughly the innumerable
nuances and subtleties of the French
language, no one is more jealous and
devoted champion Of art for arts sake.
At the same time one discovers

strongly the mystical charm of the

Many elements enter into his per-
sonality. And his personality is in
evitably intertwined with his work.
Mr.. Symons does full justice to both
in his little book, packed as it is with
finely wrought and finely expressed
criticism Of life and literature.

NLARE sHERIDAN's romantic
journey to Moscow to make
busts of the Bolshevik leaders
is vividly described in her
diary, which sets forth her most inter-
esting experiences from the first meet
ing with the Soviet representatives
Kamenev and Krassin, in London, to her
recent arrival in New York. Mrs. Sher-
idan protests that she has no political
bias. She. is attracted by Lenne and
Trotzky as personalities, not as cham
pions of the social revolution. And the
charm of her book lies chiefly in its
intimate, clear-cut character sketches.
Here is typical impression of Kras-
sin, whom she modelled in London:.
Sketch of Krassin
"He is delightful man, and I've
never done head 1 admired more. He
seems TO be strong morally, to de-
gree Of adamant. He is calm, Sincere.
dignitied, proud, with self-conscious-
ness and without vanity. Scientific in
his analysis of things and people.
Eyes that are unflinching and bewilder-
ingly direct, nostrils that dilate with
sensitiveness, mouth that looks hard
until it smiles, and chin full Of de-
termination"
1t was Kamenev, Krassin's fellow
envoy, who suggested to Mrs. Sheridan
the project Of going to Moscow and
sculping Lenine and Trotzky She
eagerly took up the idea and left for
Russia with Kamenev, dsregarding the
warnings Of her conservative friends,
and securing passport after GER
tain amount of difficulty. Before en-
tering Russia she showed her political
and social impartiality by visiting the
Crown Prince Of Sweden who pre-
sented her with two large tins Of bis
cults, which turned out to be a very
useful gift.
In Moscow Mrs. Sheridan was lodged
in "guest house." formerly the resi-
dence Of millionaire, which she shared
with H. G. Wells and w. B. Vanderlip.
She sometimes went cold and hungry
and she found it rather difficult to ar
range the material details Of her work
On the other hand, she was strongly
and favorably impressed by the per-
sonalities Of most Of the Bolshevik
| leaders with whom she came in con-
tact. Here is her account of Djerzhin-
| ski, the head of the dreaded Extraordi.
nary Commissions:
"He sat for an hour and a half, quite
still and very silent. His eyes certainly
| looked as if they were bathed in tear:
of eternal sorrow, but his mouth smiled
an indulgent kindness. His face is mar

OF all his features it is his nose whicl
seems to have the most character. 1t il
very refined, and the delicate bloodles
nostrils suggest the sensitiveness o
overbreeding. He is a Pole by origin.
She found Trotzky extremely fascina t
ing, and his sittings were frequently en-
llivened with long conversations abou
politics, art and poetry. In modelin
Lenine she caught him with his char
acteristic Screwed up" look. One of he
few rebuffs was encountered at tn

"Baudelaire's genius is satanical; he

sees in the past the lusts of the Bor-
