Story of British
Love Shows Results of War

THE IMPOSSIBLE APOLLO. Ry Thomas
Cobb. Published by John Lane.
"HE war came near creating new
social values in England. 1t
grasped the son Of an earl and
the son of an innkeeper and threw
them into the trenches, where they
found the good and the bad in each
other. We in America, where the
lines of barrier between grades of
society are thin and waverIng, fail to
conceive the shock of Britains fusing
of her youth and the many curious and
startling results consequent.
There is a certain Thomas Cobb in
England--we imagine he dwells in or
near London-who is sort of mas
cuiine Florence Barclay, with the saw
ing grace of possessing a ripper humor
and a more restrained imagination. He
is credited with six novels, the last of
which is The Impossible Apollo. This
story relates the results-they must
have been mildly chaotic in real life
when two young fellows who had been
in the trenches together. meet again in
London after the war is over. One is
Of family of position and the other
is clerk in haberdasher's shop.
They have sisters, fascinating girls, of
course, and Mr.. Cobb contrives to get
handsome Davy Giles, the impossible
one because of his poverty. thrown
into q friendship with the sister Of his
gentleman friend There are head
shakes and nugatory gestures on the
part of frightened relatives, but. in the
end, there are two weddings and a
smile all around.
Not at all novel Of moment, and
yet of value as a picturing of certain
effects Of the war in the way Of under
mining old structures of habit and
of snobbery.

Ogy. IL IS unQeNldDlc CndC Cne war
and the peace treaties have Balkan
lied" the central portion Of the Con-
tinent. The average American visitor
including the average American
serving on Red Cross and post-armis-
tice comm mssions-looks with annoy
ance on this process Of Balkaniza-
ton. Mr.. Bass, another we'll known
American newspaper correspondent,
laid stress in his book, The Peace
Tangle, on the economic sincon-
veniences and absurdities of this
multiplication of small states, all in
tensely self-conscious and suspicious
and intent on erecting barriers of all
sorts against a free exchange of serv-
ices and products.
To the American mind these eco
nomic distractions are unnatural and
offensive. 1t is as if each state of our
Union should set up high tariffs or
embargoes against all the other states.
The superficial observer thinks that
economic considerations should quick
ly overcome the instinct of separatsn,
which has been so strongly developed
by all the small scale European nations
But when he knows Europe better he
realizes his error. These small peo-
pies think primarily in terms of poll
tics-of national self-pre eservation or
expansion-and only secondarily in
terms of economic advancement.
Mr.. Mowrer quotes Henry P. Dawson
as saying to gathering in Paris
last spring that peace in Europe
will come mot through politics, but
through the eradication of epidemics
and famine and the restoration of nor
NAL economic relations" This, the
author holds, IS "a serious error"
For, in his opinion-manifestly sound
one-Central Europe can settle down
only after it has readjusted itself to
new political conditions and to the null
tiplied and intensified national rivalries
created by the peace settlement.
The war has greatly increased the
number of minor states in Europe and
has carried nationalistic fervor to a
new pitch of intensity. It has proper
tionately set back internationalism OF
the political or conomic type. 1t has
emphasized world disunity rather than
world unity. This tendency escaped the
notice of the treaty-makers at Paris
President Wilson carried with him to
Europe two utterly antagonistic ideas
One was determination" for the
small and submerged people; the other
was the scheme for a society of ma
tions. taking the form of a regulative
super-state. The super-state was
launched. But in the new minor ma
tions, absorbed in their own interests
powerful counter force to interna-
tionalism was also created. To these
states, as Mr. Mowrer points out, the
league is little more than a pale alb
straction. They do not depend upon ii
for any of the things which are nearest
their hearts.
The author, after studying conditions
IN central, eastern and southeastern
Europe, is rightly convinced that the
problem of restoring stability there j:

THE SILENCE OF SNOWSTORMS.
l don't know how TO say IL. some
how there seems 10 be
\ silence to n snowst orm that just
grips the soul Of me.
The rain drops have a patter as they
splash against the panes.
And the thunder rolls and rattles
Ike a thousand railroad trains,
But a good fashioned snowstorm
has no tumult in its sweep
As il spreads its spOtless blanket
where the roses lie asleep.
There's no herald Of its coming. no
black, angry patch Of sky,
No great gust OF wind to whistle Of
the storm that's drawing nigh.
But the birds give up their singing.
and the trees stand straight and
still.
And the snow begins to flutter round
the humbleSt window sill.
Then the noise Of busy traffic seems
somehow TO die away
While the world takes on the silence
Of a country Sabbath day.
H who rises with the dawning, ere
the trade OF men begins,
Sees n world of wondrOus beauty,
washed completely Of its sins
And the splendor Of the tropics and
the glory Of the palm
Never know such robes Of silver or
such sweet uuhrOken calm
As the humblest northern lilac or
the toughest fence rails know
As they stand or winter mornings
IN their uniforms Of snow.
