| When the regiment left for Spartan
burg Cow evidently experienced the
same emotions that all men feel when
preparing for a great adventure, an
adventure which spells eternity for
some, misery. for others and horror for
all. But this young soldier went
blithely on his way. There is a tri-
umphant and joyous note in all his
Spartanburg letters. He realizes fully
the necessity of perfect training, of
discipline, Of drill. He was also in
tensely interested in the people of the
South. II heard some darlSies singing

of one. and any soldier can deeply
sympathize with him: We have thirty

Cow was an inarticulate poet. He
wrote whenever he could of his i'm
pressions OF teauty-of nature, of the
novelty of French scenery. From on
board his transport he writes: Have
just come down to my stateroom after
watching one of the finest sunsets |
have ever seen. Have just ar
rived in port safely. The weather is
perfect. and oh! the beauty of 1t all! "
His description of France Is splen-
did. and II is refreshing to note that,
though Kenneth Cow was a real SOL
dier, yet he was as keenly alive to that
which is beautiful as any artist could
hope TO be. He writes Of war I'm a
matter-of-fact way. You can see his
love for his parents in every line. He
speaks OF his engagements with the
nonchalance Of man about TO play
tennis or go riding. It's all In the days

the most capitalist general manager.
Moreover. they have made strikes ille-
gal and have suppressed the unicns

duction under such conditions is hut
little better than under the local So
viets.
So the unlucky Russians go on from
one desolation to another. and the best
help the outside world can offer is an
occa sional invasion by some of the old
Czarist party. There is tendency for
opinion in America to be divided be-
tween those who favor the returning
Czarists and those who defend the Boil
shevilxi.
Mr.. Spargo will have none of either.
His books are not addressed to the
conservative American who already is
at least as anti -Bolshevik as his in
formation warrants. nor to the wild
radical who is often pro-Bolsheyik
simply out of disgust with our own
Government. He appeals to liberals
and his voice cannot fail to be an in
fluential one. From the liberal point
of view the case for the Reds is strong
though not conclusive. For many
atrocious tales have come out of Rus
sia, whose authors have afterward
turned out to be either spokesmen Of
certain sinister interests or else plain
liars. Moreover. every effort has been
made in this country to suppress Boil
shevik propaganda by force These
two facts undoubtedly leave a fair
presumption in favor of the Bolshe-
Wiki. 1t is this presumption which Mr..
Spargo aims to destroy. In this en-
deavor he has great advantage in
being himself well known Socialist.

The reason the Bolshevild have re-

to Mr.. Spargo. Is not that they have
the support of the Russian people. but
that they have control of the same
powers of coercion which were for

Chinese Epigrams
Of Many Sages
THE WISDOM OF THE CHINESE

THE. WISDOM OF THE CHINESE.
Edited BY Brins Brun. Brentanoe.
The world is growing better because
neopIe of different civilizations are
irving to understand each other. ana
this anthology "The Wisdom OF the
Chinese" will do great deal 10 m
crease our respect for very ancient
civilization. The Chinese students VINO
come to America are admirers of our
outlook on life and of our literature.
The reviewer once quoted saying OF
Confucius to a Chinese classmate ana
was surprised and pleased when he
capped II with an apt quotation from
Ralph waldo Emerson.
This volume accentuates the simi-
larity of Chinese concepts rather than
their divergence from ours IL con-
tains quotations from Confucius,
Chang Tsu. Mencius. Lao frsu. Yung
Chu and many others, bat there Is
no biographical material and no one
could realize from these excerpts the
wide variety of individual life IN
China 1t Is like a banquet OF some
Oriental association In which every
one wears q dress suit.
The ceremonies of the older re-
ligions were so like Christianity that
the Jesuits used to believe that they
were the deliberate invention Of the
Devil as a parody of the true faith.
II is better to say that great minds
run in the same channels, and that
the world over the quest for truth Is
the same. Saint Pauls celebrated
passage about charity was anticipated
by a sage of China: "A man may
be able to renounce the possession OF
Kingdoms and empires, be able to
spurn the honors and emoluments OF
office. be able to trample upon sharT
swords, with all that he shall not be
able TO find the central clue In his
moral being"
Many other precepts have familiar
note. Lao Tsu said: do not wish to
be rare like jade. nor common like
stone" He is rich who knows when
he has enough" Chung Tsu said:
Spread out your knowledge, and II
will be found to be very thin" Mencius
said: When men come face TO face
their differences vanish"
The proverbs of the Chinese people
give a good impression of their high
state of civilization. II China has no
Homers or Shakespeares, her general
level of culture Is higher. The holidays
of the common people in China cele-
brate the birth or the death OF poets
rather than generals and politicians.
Specimens of the common proverbs are
as follows: "The cure OF ignorance Is
study, as meat is that of hunger"
when you put on your clothes, re-
member the labor Of the weaver: wheE
you eat your daily bread, think OF the
hardshlps Of the husbandman. Speak
Of mems virtues as II they were your
own. and of their vices as IL you were
liable to their punishment"
