person Of far less force OF character
than Victoria. "One story, indeed. ;
writes Strachey, survives, ill authen-
t'cated and perhaps mythical, yet sum
ming mp, as such atories often do, the
central facts of the case. When, in
wrath, the Prince one day had locked
himself in his room, Victoria, no less
furious, knocked on the door to be ad
mitted Who is there y he asked. The
Queen of England was the answer. He
did not move and again there was a
hail of knocks. The question and the
answer were repeated many times; but
at last there was pause, and then a
gentler knocking. who is there?' came
once more the relentless question. But
this time the reply was different Your
wife, Albert And the door was i'm
niediately opened"
There is nothing directly favorable
to the cause of feminism in the life or
sayings of Queen Victoria, but she NAV
serve excellently as horrible example.
1t was her tragedy to be a woman and,
more than that, woman before the be-
g;nnings Of the days of emancipation.
Depend upon it, if Victoria had been
man the Victorian Age would mean
something more to most of US than
ugly furniture and the poetry of Ten
ryson.

Thrilling Romance Of Flying
Described In Two New Books
English Officer Tells Story of Trip Across
Atlantic in Airship = 'Holworthy Hail.
Describes Air Service in War

THE LOG OF II, NJ A. R-3i BY Air
Commodore r. NJ. Maitland Published
by Holder 81 Stoughton London.
AERIAL OBSERVATION. BY Harold e.
Porter. Published by Harper Sc Bros. 81.
H T Is still something of novelty
to- cross the Atlantic in an air
b ship. However, if one is to trust
the diary which Air Commodore
Il. NJ Maitland kept on board the R-s4
curing its journey to America and back
IN the summer of 1919, the airship has
distinct points of advantage over the
ocean liner as means of trarsporta-
ton.
There is, first of all, the matter of
speed. The R-34 made its first trip in
Approximately four and half days,
and returned by shorter route in
three days and three hours. Commo-
dore Maitland testifes that seasickness
was quite unknown on his trip. 1t was
found possible to dance, to eat we'll
and to sleep comfortably on the air.
ship, although timid person might
have had his slumbers disturbed by the
reflection that, if he once fell out of his
hammock, he was quite likely to 90 on
falling until he landed in the ocean.
The lover of beautiful scenery would
have no reason to be disappointed in
the airship journey. Travelling high in
the air, often shooting between cloud
banks, the travellers enjoyed some mag
nificent views of the blue ocean, of
gorgeous sunsets, of the wild hills of
Ireland and Scotland, and Of New York
superbly illuminated at night.
The picturesque quality of the diary
is enhanced by the fact that every word
was written on board the machine. The
author makes number of technical
comments upon the weather observa-
tions which were taken from the air
ship. He speaks with warm enthusiasm
of the welcome which was extended to
New-York tribune., 1921-06-19

him and his companions during their
brief stay in America.
Major Harold E. Porter, who is bet
ter known Co readers of his short
stories under the name of Holworthy
Hall, stresses the vital future impor-
tance of aerial observation, both in
/ peace and war. He points out the nu-
merous peace-time uses to which avia-
ton can be put. Aside from their pos
sibilities as mail and passenger car
riers, airplanes have already shown
their value in combating forest fires,
IN making rapid and accurate surveys
of land, in detecting derelicts and
other dangers to navigation at sea.
All the European countries are ap-
propriating money generously for the
development of commercial aviation.
And, if the airplane is likely to be val
liable in peace, it is certain to be in
dispensable in war. Practically all
military strategists agree in recogniz-
ing that no nation can hope to win a
AHeuA 2 NdA sx a4ISL powerful OppO-
nent without a strongly equipped air
service.
And a strongly equipped air service,
according to Major Porter, is just what
the United States does not have at the
present time. He analyses our contri-
button to the war in the field of aero
nautics, and finds little to praise in it.
Very few of our planes ever reached
the front, and our pilots and observers
suffered from poor training. The au-
thor advocates for the future the
creation of an air department, ainde-
pendent alike of the army and the
navy, which should be placed in charge
Of single head who should himself be
a practical flying man.
Major Porter believes that aviation
must be vigorously encouraged in
peace, if it is to be truly serviceahle
in war.

Hearts at Odds
Needle of Love Shifts Pole
in New Novel

HALF LOAVES. BY Margaret Culkjr
Banning Published by the George H.
Doran Company. $3.50.
Vt is difficult to realize that the
hand that wrote This Marrying also
q penned Half Loaves, for the latter
novel is distinct Improvement over
Mrs. Banning's first story. In our esti-
nation, the earlier book was good,
with the rather drab excellence of a
hundred other faithful studies in fic-
tion of modern American married life.
But this analysis of the loves of four
people-two men and their wives-in
Middle West city deserves recogni-
tion as one of the few soberly con-
ceived and artistically written novels
OF the year.
Cecily marries Dick. Unlike her, he
does not always carry depths around
with him. His background is the
energetic life of the successful man of
business, colored at intervals with
hours of superficial amusement, dane
1i1S anu evening pdAIlCo. SSCliyl III
f1uenced perhaps by convent memories,
weighs action and thought on the steel
yard Of her own reticent consideration.
Ihei> friend Matthew marries the
f1igtSs girl Fliss-we give only their
first names-to awake to the discovery
that Cecily is of his spiritual kin.
And so there occurs new polar ar
rangement Of north and south, east
and west, causing incidents that culm;-
nate in separation, sorrow and a
final mature deliberation to make the
best of things on the original basis.
This is weak outline, for it fails
to give the slightest inkling of the
grip of Mrs. Banning on her people
In chapters that build upon one an
other in a logical, orderly mode of
edihce, she constructs remarkably
close-knit, intelligent philosophy of
life as lived, endured at times, by four
men and women of varying gifts, aspi-
rations and wills. Never hectic nor
morose, ever kindly in its admoniticns,
Half Loaves seems to US to be among
the very best of the years novels that
deal with the surface disturbances of
sex and the intimate mental relations
Of married life. s. A.

MODERN SOCIAL MOVEMENTS. BY
savel Zimand. Published by tho H. ".
Wilson Company. sIso.
TSHB student Of such modern social
movements as trade unionism, co.
operation, single tax, guild So
cialism, syndicalism, ETC., vilI find in
Mr.. Zimand's book an almost invaluable
introduction and guide, for the au-
thor has assembled a truly monumental
photography on all the subjects which
he considers. Large numbers of books,
newspapers, periodicals and even in
dividual articles are listed under their
proper heads, with brief descriptive
comments.
The bibliography is, indeed, the
largest and most important part of the
book. But the author also gives short
outlines of the history and character
istics of the various movements. These
outlines are kept scrupuIously free
from bias and partisanship, being care
fully restricted to the facts of the case.
A notable feature of the book is its
wide international outlook. The author
has his finger on the social pulse OF
every country from Australia TO Nor
way, and conveys to his readers an ad-
mirably we'll balanced view Of the
movements launched by workers and
consumers all over the world.
One striking result of the war which
is brought out by Mr.. Zimand is the
almost universal increase in the num-
bers and strength of labor organiza-
tions. The unions in many countries
show fourfold gain in membership
since pre-war days.
Professor Charles A. Beard. in his
introduction, pays high tribute to
the author and his work and empha-
sizes the growing Importance of labor
in modern history and the enhanced
significance of the trade
union movement.

quiry.
The authors argument for immortal.
ity is quite ingenious. Science, he con.
tends, is based upon certain assump.
tions which defy absolute logical proof
such as the law of universal causation
Now, tolerable moral order is incon-
ceivable without the conception of i'm
mortality. Therefore, why should not
the moral philosopher assume" i'm
mortality, just as the scientist "as-
sumes" the law Of universal causation ?
The influence of William James's
pragmatism is manifest in Professor
Hudson's discussion of the existence
of God and the freedom of the will,
lie emphasizes very strongly the ire
mendous serviceability, nay sven the
lndispensability, of these ideals to any
theory of rationalized mora. order.
The last chapter of the book is de-
voted to an analysis Of the renaissance
of moral faith in America. Professor
Hudson Indignantly repudiates the in
sinuatlon that we are a nation of ma
terialists and money-grabbers He feels
that the American people possess an
immense fund of moral idealisn. which
constantly impels them toward the
achievement of new ideals of democ-
racy and social justice. At the same
time this idealism is tempered by prac-
tical sagacity and by readiness to sub
NIT to the decisions of the common
will.
The book is written in plain, simple
language, and the authors train of
reasoning is not too technical or too
subtle to be followed by the AVERAGE
reader. With its fundamental onti-
mism and its buttressing of old beliefs
with new arguments it should appeal
to large audience.
