 There seems te be . strange diyisicn between the men and women of Daniel- son over the proposal of cutting down a row of shade trees on Reynolds street Most of the women who discuss the mat ter at all are for saving the trees while the majority of men who are giving con sideration to the question favor removing the trees, though regretting what to them is the apparent necessity for the sacri- flee.
 Those who favor removing the trees are considering the question chiefly from the view point that such a narrow way will Invite accidents if Reynolds street is not broadened. from Main to Broad, before the state road to Little Rest is completed and the traffic over the route increases by leaps and bounds Those who favor taking out the trees find themselves not without regret that such beautiful maple. should go, but their viewpoint is thai either the trees must come down or thu responsibility assumed for permitting t exist a condition that is almost certain to be the cause of serious traffic acci dents and possibly the sacrifice of human life in such cases.

Polish Czech and modern Greek as
well as into the more widely reaching
tongues But there has hitherto been
no attempt at any considerable biog-
raphy: in fact, scarcely more than
brief biographical notes in German,
French and English. Mr.. Zweig's vol
ume aims to fill that want. The book
is issued simultaneously in five lam
guages. which is at least a proof of the
demand for it,
1t may truthfully be said TO be the
most comprehensive work about Rol-
land that has as yet appeared, but it
is very far from being either a criti-
cally judicial study OF the man and
of his work or an exhaustively full
life record of outward fact. AS to the
latter, il is. Of course, too soon. Even
an author Of worldwide importance is
entitled to a certain amount of decent
privacy as to his personal affairs. The
essential laCtS are mere Hoiiahu . all
cestry, school life, lCdnderjdhre, his
teaching experience, his professorship
at the Sorbonne. his unfortunate mar
riage, his ten years retirement from
the current of daily events and his ulti-
mate flaming emergence during the
war as the Protestant apostle of new
and potentially loftier creed of the
oneness of humanity.
AS tc an interpretative biography
dealing with the growth and crises of
the soul, il might be said to be un-
necessary, since all Rolland's work,
especially Jean Christophe" and Gle
rambault," is in a true sense autobio-
The New York herald., 1921-11-20

although, of course, not so
in any Grass or narrow meaning of
the term. That is what gives it all its
tremendous vitality-the intensity of
conviction behind it, the militant ideal
ism, the pognancy of suffering, the
deep realization of the lnchrDmde
rerum: these blaze out in his books
because the man ROLAND is consumed
with them. He has spoken for him
self, and. so far, needs no bographer
to explain him
Mr.. Zweig, who is said TO be a close
personal friend of ROLAND, has used
his material with discretion and intel
ligence. It rs a readable narrative,
sufficiently equipped with dates, rec
ords of happenings, &c. and thus use
full. though it sheds no new light upon
the subject.
Mr. Zweig is scarcely dispassionate
i'm his presentation of Rolland's atti-
tude during and after the war. His
own summary is that the resultant
peace was "as inhuman as the war
had been" If one admits the entire
sincerity of such a belief il none the
less remains a disqualification Of the
believer as a judicial critic. And here.
again, ROLAND needs no explanation.
He has given it himself in "Cleram-
bault."
One impression. however. is left
upon the reader of this biography that
is not so strongly made by Roland's
own writing: that is the weight Of
Tolstois influence in the formation of
RollanGs doctrine. Mr.. Zweig,
whether Intentionally or not, brings
out clearly the weight of the impact
of Tolstoi's teaching upon the sensi-
tive. struggling young poet-musician
in his most plastic years. 1t is. Of
course, obvious enough and frankly
admitted. but it bulks larger in Mr..
! Zweig's presentation than before.
This book does, indeed, fill some part
/ Of the demand for more information
/ about this spectacular man, but it
needs to be read with the author S
point of view always in mind 1t is
dithyrhambic at times, and thus over
shoots it's mark. But IT is interesting
| throughout. 1t contains valuable
photography of Rolland's own writings
and a hriefer list of critical books
about him. II. l.. PANGBoRN.

LES HUMORISTES. BY Francis CARGO.
Paul Olendorff: Paris.
TRANCIS CARGO who has al
H ready given us books of
startling verify like Scenes dc
la Vie de Montmdrtre and L'EQuipe.
is also a literary historian and
an art critic In this new volume,
THE Humorists." we find another
proof of his untiring talent. This book
on the gayer view of art has a par
tcular interest for American and
English readers because the work of
great French caricaturists like Dau-
mier and Steinlen have become al
most as well known across the Chan
mel and the Atlantic as here in Paris.
The joke, as you say. was on Fran
els CARGO, the other night, in the the
atre. 1t happened that soldiers were
needed for stage army. The man
ager told the dramatist and the dram
atist rushed out to the foyer. There
was CARGO, marching up and down in
a soldierly stride.
You're just the man I want" ex-
claimed the playwright. Come and
be Roman legionary. Everything de-
pends on it,"
"B-b b. b-but," stammered the bash
full critic of humor, I'm with man
friend"
Gall the better, 1 need exactly two
soldiers!" So Rome was saved. The
author begins his new book by stat
ing frankly that "humor properly
speaking is British product"
wonder if that is true. Are the rest
of us less human than the British?
No definition would be large enough
to include all that is now understood
by the word 'humorist." 1t is ap-
piled to the specialist in political, So
cial. artistic satire of whatever type.
The policies of different journals modi-
fy their humor. Each strikes an in
dividual mote" We must therefore
credit the press with a good deal OF
the present wealth and diversity in
this domain. To capture the attention
and affect the views of the pubic
journalism must use "the redoubtable
arm of illustration"
The author points out the social and
political importance of satire in the
designs of the second half of the eigh-
teenth century. In the pamphlets
against the court and Queen Marie
Antoinette circulated in 1889 pictures
were far more widely effective than
text. since they carried a message
even to those who could not read.
The drawings of the pictorial hu-
morist helped both to precipitate the
French Revolution and to dethrone
the man who turned it to his personal
advantage. For the aggressive Carl
catures of Gillray helped to stir up
England to the point Of fighting Ma
poleon Bonaparte. The frail charcoal
of an artist may be stronger than a
! Bastile or a battalion.
/ In Honore Daumier we find the true
prophet of modern graphic humor. as
well as one of the greatest painters OF
! the nineteenth century.
From the founding of Cdricdture, in
| 1881, Daumier surpassed all rivals.
He penetrated every part of life. The
history of his epoch may be read in
his caricatures of the bortr0eoisie, his
satires against the Government, his
parodies on antiquity. his scenes in
the palace, his popular parodies. He
! drew. he painted in oil and in water
| colors of the first order, and his bust
from England.

on the floor, over which was
placed sheet of steel three-quar-
ters of an inch thick, Pointing
the gun downward DR.. Hutchin-
son discharged the weapon and the
cash register click was heard. In
the sheet of steel there was lodged
a protective three inches long and
one-half inch in diameter. The
ends stuck out on either side OF
the steel. There had been prac-
tically no recoil.
The demonstration gun used by
DR.. Hutchinson had a velocity OF
one mile an second. He declared
the high power rifles now in vogue
obtained their velocity through
the use of small projectiles, long
barrels and about three times as
much power as is used in the new
weapon.
The elimination of a loud re-
port, he said, was obtained by con-
finement of the expanding gases
to the chamber from which the
projectile emanated. The weapon
resembled the nozzle of pneu-
matte hammer.

New York, July S.-Scientists
and inventors today discussed the
remarkable qualities of new gun
which DR.. Miller Reese Hutchin-
son, former chief engineer for
Thomas A. Edison, claims may be
developed to hurl a protective OF
five tons from two hundred to
three hundred miles. Its velocity,
he declared, ranges from one to
five miles a second. The noise 1t
made at a demonstration yester-
day sounded much like the click OF
a cash register though only a
miniature weapon, with an eight
inch barrel was used. Its projectile
may be stopped in a sheet of steel
with the precision of trolley car.
The gun is the invention of
John Temple, an Englishman, who
developed the idea in this country.
The demonstration held in the

Husband Kills Sick
Wife TO End Misery

London, July 8.-"The doctor
gives enthanasia to hopeless
agony. The soldier spares thrust
or shot to a writhing comrade.
Any decent man shoots his women
folk to save them from dishonor"
Such was the explanation made
by E. r. Eardley for killing him
self and his wife in their little
cottage at scarborough.
Mrs. Eardley was a hopeless in
valid, and her disease had develop
ed to the point where it became
necessary to place her in a home
for the mentally afflicted. This
fact prayed upon her husbands
mind, and one of the saddest fea-
tutres of the affair was that, while
he was devotedly attached to his
wife, she, in her insane moods,
fancied that her husbands love
had changed to hatred.
For almost year Mrs. Eardley
had been in private home, dur
ing which time her husband sold
a successful business" and took

ter he wrote to the friend telling
him Of his determination, he ad-
ded:
"The bodies of myself and my
dear wife will be found together
in the little dressing-room. Great
care must be taken in entering the
house; the dressing-room and

After hearing all the testimony
and the reading of the letter the
Jury found that the dead man took
his life and that of his wife while
he was temporarily of unsound

small cottage at scarborough in
the hope that the change of eli
mate would be of benefit to. her.
She, however, became worse,
and the fact was communicated to
the husband that she would have
to be placed in a public institu-
tion. In the letter from which the
extracts above are made Eardley
also said:
Fir two years now my wife has
lived in hourly torment. Her con-
dition grows daily worse. l can do
nothing more for her; my will to
live and win is broken. There is
nothing before her but the mad
house, without even the allevia-
tion l have been able to bring.
However human law may re-
gard the matter, my conscience
justifies me; indeed I should live
a coward in my own esteem if
failed her in this extremity"
Even in his sorrow Eardley
thought of those who would dis
cover the tragedy, and in the let
