THE EMPTY SACK. BY Basil King. Pub
lished by Harper Bros Price. $500.
ONE one will come along some
o. day and write the Uncle Toms
\ Cabin of the salary slave, but as
yet no one has done it success
fully. Basil King makes what appears
to be an attempt at it in his new novel,
The Empty Sack but although he
writes an absorbing tale he doesn't
quite hit the mark.
"The value of a thing is as much
money as it will bring" This was the
creed by which Bradley Collingham,
multimillionaire head of a banking
firm, lives. Bob and Edith Collingham
are Of another generation which takes
into account the intrinsic value of the
human being. Bob has learned his
philosophy at the front and Edith takes
hers from young instructor in sociol
ogy whose attentions to her are
thwarted by Mrs. Collingham-a world
ly-wise character whose Vaccinations
form the chief puzzle Of the book.
When the elder Collingham dis
charges the elderly Josiah Follett for
the "crime of old age" at the behest
of his efficiency manager, he precipi-
tated the tragedy of the average SAL
aried man with family" limited not
by his own desire but by the use soci-
ETY. wishes to make of him. He dreams
OF something bigger, more brilliant,
moro productive. But work,
taken as a great corporate thing, is
made up Of hundreds of millions of tiny
tasks, each of which calls for man.
Then on being found, he must be
trimmed to the size of his task"
Josiah Follett had been trimmed in
just that fashion. He had started out
in life as an ambitious bank clerk in
Canada. Dilligent, hardworking and
painstaking, he was needed just where
he began. And there he stayed, chang
Ing his Job occasionally for a little
more money to meet the needs Of his
family Of FIVE, but never getting
ahead.
1t was Lizzie Follett who suffered
most. Come of long line of cultured
folk, she watched in bitter silence as
| Teddy, her skylarking young son, is
drawn into the treadmill which her

turings OF homes, lawns and rolling
lands beyond London, opportunely in
troduced, ho frequently achieves the
effect Of the miniature painter working
OH ivory, the utmost of presentation in
restricted space.
One realizes, as he reads certain
pages in this novel, the perfection of
Galsworthy's sense of balance between
man and his environment. Take, for
example, the meeting of Soames and
Timothy, the last of the old Forsytcs,
The elder man, cabined from the war
in the seclusion of complete isolation,
is living fragment Of the old London
Around him are material furnitures of
an age that has withered. The spirit
ual element in the meeting of the two
men is gradually brought into focus
against this background. You feel
things lowering over the text, escsp-
ing from it, elusive if you are not in
tune.
The novel Is built around the love
Of Jon and Fleur Forsyte. Those who
have read the preceding novels of the
series will recall Soames, who divorced
his wife Irene, and Jolyon, his cousin,
who married her. A period Of per-
haps twenty years has elapsed and
Fleur, Soamess daughter by his Sec
ond wife, meets young Jon, the son of
Jolyon and Irene. Each is ignorant OF
the feud in the family history. They
become lovers, and Galesworthy han
dies their happiness in text almost
pagan in it's beauty.
Such theme gives opportunity for
satire on life in stereotyped circles and
pages of idyllic youth silhouetted
against the prosy precision of matur-
ity. The chapter on the meeting of the
boy and girl. at early dawn, entitled
"Idyll on Grass" is thing to cherish,
to salvage from the drift of modern
fiction. Let the sensual and the wish
wash of similar episodes in other
novels go over the falls to oblivion.
A chapter like this one is worth them
all.

WV lTH "THE OBSTACLE RACE"
wv Ethel Dell adds another roman
tic novel to her rapidly grow
ing list of successes. The wonder is
how she keeps it up and still adds 8
fresh interest to hackneyed plots and
type characters-but she does!
Lady Joanna Farringmore suddenly
fees from the artificial round of Lon
don society to find rest for her soul
under an assumed name and station in
little village on the coast. She had
just been on the point of marrying
lvor Yardley, the catch of the season,
when she was brought to the realiza-
tion of the evils of her set by scorch-
ing book by new author, Dene
Strange.
1t was all of piece with her madcap
escapades. Rumor had it that she had
chucked the wedding to run off with
Lord Saltash, who went cruising in
foreign waters when she disappeared,
and the gossip was that she had gone
just a little too far this time even
for her set to condone. Strands of this
gossip reached her in her hiding place.
and though she WINGED under the
thought that she could ever have been
thought capable of such actions, she
was too busy fitting herself into her
new life to let it affect her.
There Is young schoolmaster. Dick
Green, who saved her from falling over
cliff few weeks after her arrival.
and who Immediately fell in love with
her, but hopelessly, for even If she
had gone as companion to Mrs. Field
ing, the wife Of the big man Of the
place, he felt that "Miss Morris" was
above him. There is the Squire him
self, with his queer affection for Dick,
whom his wife hates. There is Robin.
Dicks hunched, distorted brother. who
includes her in his worship Of Dick.
And there are the miners with their
wrongs-her miners, though she didn't
know it at frst-whom Dick is irving
to help.
AAAA VI 1ieoc people interest ner, AND
bit by bit she is drawn into the tanple
Of their lives and brings out the real
qualities that are in her as she tries
to help them. When Robin commits
suicide in mistaken spirit of self
sacrifice she marries Dick without tell.
ing him who she is.
Then Lord Saltash turns up and late,
the man she deserted two weeks before
the wedding. He has come down ia
listen to the grievances Of the miners
as director of the company. Before he
can expose her Lady 10 confesses to
the men and again fees, this time
from the stony eyes Of the man she
loves-her husband.
Just how the last obstacle Is
hurdled and how the two come together
and who Dick really Is are matters
which must remain q mystery until
the book Is read. It is all very fa,
fetched, but plausibility Is something
one does not ask for in Ethel Dell
The thrills and suspense are there and
that is sufficient

TO LET. BY John Galsworthy Published
by Charles Scribner's Sons. So.
J" HE BEsoM of the war swept
over London and cast to the
winds many matters OF old
habit. Social life and busi-
ness custom shivered in the sweep Of
its current, modified modes of conduct
to suit its demands on vitality and the
will to endure. When it ceased to pun
ish, men found that tho new order of
things was not reflection of the old.
The great broom had polished much
dust of antiquity from floors. Its
tlraught had blown open windows that
had long been closed against strange
currents. So the novelist of to-day
who attempts to picture men and
women emerging from the cleansing
there was a publication in the tempest
Of the war--fnd themselves confronted
by persons curiously wrought upon
and shaped by the dynamic forces of
the era.
Hugh Walpole got to close grips with
the war. In England and in Russia
he studied men and he analysed events.
His two novels that portrayed certain
phases of the grand Russian episode
will remain as definite contributions
of value In the field Of Interpretation
through fiction. Now he returns to
England, to London, and gives us, in
1.-The Thirteen Travellers" series of
thirteen close-ups of as many men and
women, who reflect in themselves
various measurable effects Of the war
in affected temperaments and distorted
conditions of physical life. On pre-
iiminary reading, some of these
sketches appear bit trivial. AS one
rereads and studies them, they fash
new meanings, as jewel escapes in it's
fire from misty cloak.
A few familiar names appear in this

when the gas Is turned of. Lizzie, for
the first time in her life, breaks down
and cries, terribly. Teddy, aghast at
the sight, gives her $50 bill he has
abstracted that day at the bank and
which, Mortified at what he had done,
he had planned to return at the first
opportunity. From one theft he is led
to another, until he is hopelessly en-
meshed. When his terrified conscience
gives him away, he fees, meaning to
kill himself, but instead kills the two
bank detectives who are following him.
1t is at this point that Bob's philoso
ply comes to the aid of the Follett
family. He hasn't quite formulated it
himself but it is based on love and it
is protecting force that operates in
spite Of distance He had written Jen-
ME from South America, where he had
been sent by his family to break off
what they thought was mere attach
ment:
"There Is a love so big and strong
and sure that separation means moth
ing to it because it fills the world.
Love isn't physical or geographical. It's
force, power, influence. l love you so
much that l know I can keep you safe
even though I'm on the other side of
the world. I can't fend troubles away
from you, worse luck, but | can carry
you through them. l know that till
come back you'll be having a hard
time, but my love will hang around
you like an enchanted cloak and moth
ing will really get at YOU"
Jennie wasn't sure she liked that
cloak then, but somehow it always
seemed to protect her when her own
desires would have led her to fall
in with Hubert's designs. She was glad
to wrap herself in it later when Bob
came back to find her father dead, her
mother queer" with brooding over
the wrongs inflicted on the Folletts,
and Jennie left alone to face the con-
sequences of Teddys actions.
Mr. King doesn't hold out much hope
Of remedy in this world for the in
JuSC1C0 OIL COHQlClOuS WulCn Hc pOl-
trays 50 poignantly. Bob has nothing
to say to Lizzie when to his expression
Of cheer that they may get Teddy off,
that the world still wants him, she
hings out her defiance Of society:
"Yes the world does-I'm wrong-it
does to the extent that it wanted his
father-to give it every ounce of his
strength with pittance for his pay
to spend and be spent till he's good
for nothing more and then be thrown
aside to starve. It's possible that even
now Teddy would be willing to do this
if they'd only let him live, but tell
him it's not good enough"
There is much to be read between
the lines in The Empty Sack and
much that is fine in what is written.
One gathers that Mr.. King was just q
little afraid Of being thought propa-
gandist, but he tells story far too
we'll ever to let that consideration
worry him.
