BACK TO METHUSELEH

Bernard Shaw has writ
ten another book which
bears the same title as this
editorial. He calls it "a con-
tribution to the modern
Bible" Shaw and his friend,
H. G. Wells, are two intel
lectual mountebanks OF the
time, who claim that our
English Bible has grown 90
isolete; that its present de-
voices are simply 'pagan;s5
sucked in a creed outworn.
They are endeavoring to
create a new Bible that shall
be the fountain of wisdom
and inspiration for the world
at large, now and forever
more. These megacephalous
gentlemen have no DOUBT
that they are competent to
the task. Wells has already
undertaken it, and Shaw IS
writing chapters for it. The
latter has long ago modeStly
admitted his superiority to
Shakespeare. The former
has told a gaping world more
than once that their gods are
false, their religion out OF
Joint, and that he was born
to set them right.
Shaw's latest book is TO

neither derisively; but rath-

ton. "What hope is there OF
human improvements" -he
asks. According to the Neo-
Darwinists, to the Mechan-
lists, no hope whatever, be-
cause Improvement can come
only through some senseless
accident which must, on the
statistical average Of accl-
dents, be presently wiped out
by some other equally sense
less accident" The doctrine
of theology is evidently I'M
known to Bernard Shaw; or
if known, ignored as lore
only for children. True,
Shaw sets up neo-Darwln-
ism as a man of straw, that
he may knock it down, but
he sets up nothing in its
place that is not also sheer
gibberish. For instance, he
says, IF on opportunist
grounds Man now fixes the
term Of his life at three score
and ten years, he can equal
ly fix it at three hundred or
even three thousand, or even
at the genuine Circulnstan-
tial Selection limit" etc. He
gravely continues, This is
not fantastic speculation: it
is deductive biology, if there
is such a science as biology"
After reading this stuff it
would be a waste of time to
continue. The book is per-
meated all through with
similar drivel, If it be said
in extenuation that Shaw is
ironic, we object that true
irony must have at least a
logical foundation. Non

Kaiser's Sister Writes
Freely to the Countess

Inserted In the diary of the Countess
Schoenborn are fourteen letters of the ex-
Kaiser's sister, the Duchess of SaxeMeinin-
gen, Princess of Prussia These letters
cover the period from April g. 1917, to
June Is, 1919.
Whatever may be said of the political
and military events upon which these init
mate epistles comment they are interesting
as revealing one of the German imperial
minds as it worked under the stress of the
tragic game in which all the imperial for
tunes of the great house were at stake.
Despite the occasional human and kindly
thrill through the letters and despite the
fact that they were written during the last
tour years. there is an air of other worldli-
ness about them in these days of 1921 that
seems tc make them more proper to the
spaciously regal times before the French
Revolution began the downfall of kings.
They begin with the same sort of express
sions for the English as cost Mrs. Asquith
so dear in England when she made them
with regard to the Germans. They run on
through the ups and downs of the fortunes
of German arms and German diet, through
the Russian revolution, the downfall OF
Bethmann- Hollweg to their climax in de-
scribing the plight Of the imperial family
