AS to the good things Ia the frst

very considerable power. His literary
master is Barbusse. Some of his Wig
nettes, scenes, moods, episodes are re-
markable in reproducing the poignant
bleak atmosphere Of those dreary
months Of hardship, Of waiting and OF
war endured by our overseas troops in
France. Not in the last year have ]

Jeffery Farnol in Story of Vengeance, Fulhlls
the Promise of His Tale of
Black Bartlemy

7 aspiration. A deck Of Eslleon smeared
| with the blood Of conflict, stretch Of
beach, prison in fetid Spanish
town OF the Main, these are typical Of
the cluster OF settings that enrich this
unusual novel.
Joanna literally strides into this
story, girl pirate-captain, savage, re
vengeful, crafty and passionate. She is
endowed with moods as varying as the
weather on day of morning sun and
afternoon thunder. She rules her god
less crew with whip-hand, and she
goes to her death plucky and obstinate
to her last breath. There are movie
possibilities in Joanna Farnol must
have found a lot Of fun in imagining
her and making her spinal thing in
his pages.
AS we close this yarn Of q period that
appears to have III it breath of the
eterna1--so many good novels have pic
tured its phases-we go over again in
swift recollection those scenes that
make live again the stormy days Of the
harrying and plundering of Englishmen
and Spaniards who brawled and fought
all over the waters and through the
twisting streets Of cities Of the Span
!sh Main. 1t was for Jeffery Farnol q

A Work of Genius

Tt should be noted in passing, that
kicked against the pricks Of army life
would have had the same trouble in
civilian life; they would have had the
same trouble in family life, in savage
or primitive life, or in heaven or in
hell. For their own private individual
!. ity and qualification was to them the
highest sanctity, The highest law.
Against anything which cramped their
style as individualists they raised their
voices in loud "Goddaml" The Good
dam tyranny" Of the man higher up in
the army is the leit-motif of the story.
These soldiers three, and some Of their
friends, goddammed straight through
the book from cover to cover, because
they wanted to be Independent on their
own account, and work on their Jobs
how, and when, and where they goddam
pleased. In a word, they wero rebels.
And that, in nutshell, is the real
theme of the book. Mr. Dos Passos,
one suspects, is q rebel by tempera-
ment. He rails against the Established
Order, first because it is Established,
and, second, because it is Order-and
both interfere with the divine freedom
of the individual. Margaret Fuller once
said, ~ accept the universe!" ard when
her acceptance was repeated to Carlyle
he chuckled grimly and remarked: "By
Cad, she'd better!" But neither Mr..
Dos Passos nor his soldiers three are
willing to accept the universe with its
eternal laws; they won't have it at anv
price.
In all, "Three Soldiers" is an inter-
osting, powerful, intensely egoistic
piece of work, hawed in its philosophy.

me genlns and beauty and power.

Whose Business

One of the big army trucks Civ
zen to McNairy county by the
go oyernment for road working
purposes, has been almost entire
ty dismantled, and is now stand.
ing in an alley, and allowed to
stand in the weather. These
trucks cost lots of money, and
the government never intended
for them to do anything but road
work. For a time this truck did
valuable work, but for some rea-
son, it has been permitted to go
to rack. Whose business is it to
keep such trucks in repair and
good working order? If it can be
repaired, why not do it and put
this truck back in service again.
