AssyrO-Chnldean Speaks.
biblical history came before the
meeting when the representatives of
the Assyro -Chaldeans arose Their
people live in Mcsopotamia. between
Mosul and the Turkish frontier: they
wish to maintain their own language
and customs and to be allowed to
dwell in peace. General Aghpitros.
their chief spokesman, said with dig
nifty that history had proved that
Adam and Eve were born in their
country and the early chapters of
human life moved about the Assyro-
Chaldeans.
Hopeful progress was made today
on the problem of the Greek patri-
arch. The French suggested as a
possible solution that permission he
granted the patriarch to remain in
Constantinople as an autonomous
archbishop with the understanding
that he would in no way represent
political or administrative matters, or
voice the ambitions or incarnatc as
plrations or Greece: he would exist
as religious figure.
French Argue for Patriarch
The French argued that the brusoue
removal OF the Christian leader would
cause an unpleasant feeling abroad
toward the new Turkish state. The
Turks later will give their views on
this suggestion.
The straits problem still remains
unsettled: the allies are striving TO
arrange some formula for general
collective guarantee that Turkey will
not be subjected to foreign aggrcs-
sion. The Turks decline to grant jur-
diction to the straits control COM

What Wister Did.

Owen Wister'S book cleared the
air. Beginning with Washington's
forbears, he shows us what went into
his making and without robbing him
OF a 1.-THE of his dignity knocks
down the plaster bust with its grim
look Of Righteousness and sets UP
man.
A man who. like Lincoln and like
most great men, was little coarse:
who growled an oath with the gusto
of an Elizabethan: who was In his
youth, and even in the fullness of his
experience, often bashful and diff
dent to painful degree: who was
extremely sensitive to criticism-a
man who could roll on the ground in
his mirth and yet whose presence
was such that it forbade familiarity.
The book emphasizes Washing
tons heritage. LET II once more
be said ffor ii is of great interest
and has been by historians and biog-
raphers but scantily dwelt upon)
that Washington was no meteoric
phenomenon falling into q family
unheralded from the sky. but very
much the reverse. a consistent con-
tinuance of the family pattern. pre-
cisely the kind of crop (only greater
In sizel to be expected from former
harvests: soldiers who are knighted
for valor. preachers who stick TO
their principles. come what may
Wister reminds US that the work
| of dehumanizing Washington began
early The first biographers took all
manner of liberties even with his
correspondence. They erased from
one letter in which Washington re-
ferred to "our rascally privateers-
men who go on at the Old rate" the
word rascaliy as not becoming the
Father of His Country. "one hun
dred thousand dollars will be but
| flea bite" they changed TO "one hum
dred thousand dollars will be totally
inadequate"
These petty glossings over were
followed by more serious distortions
of his character. and by such means
there was constructed an effigy OF
Washington which repelled writer's
from undertaking his biography and
left his countrymen content to re-
gard him and his monument with
| feelings which were not far separate.

and perhaps its real day will not
come until the continued develop
ment of our present civilizatory
trend has made the appearance of
another Isak impossible.
VI.
Mr.. Hamsun's greatest book was
written during the early part of the
world war and under the immedi-
ate pressure Of that staggering
event. 1t matters little now where
his sympathies went in the course
of that struggle What really mat
ters is that he hated the war as
such, and that he regarded 1t as the
logical outcome Of all those things in
our present social organization that
he had despised and satirized from
the time OF his first literary success
Itsseems safe to assume that 1.-THE
Growth Of the Soil" was his indirect
plea for conditions and ideals that
would make another war of similar
proportions an impossible thing. His
book is one unbroken glorification of
the simple toiler that creates real
values. and by implication it dispar-
ages to the same extent those who
can only destroy. as well as all those
social artificiaiities that make for de-
struction. One may fear that Mr..
Hamsun's panacea is a little too
simple for modern application. but
with the spirit in which 1t is offered
one cannot quarrel. and surely this
spirit will take root and bear fruit
wherever the book Is read.

derer Plays on Muted Strings" q
novel as amorphous and personal and
unclassifiable as the sketch OUT of
which 1t grew. but revealing to us
in the most telling manner two typi-
cally pitiful human fates. Already
in the sketch we learn how Knud
Petersen from the Northland came
across Capt. Falkenberg and his
pretty wife, and of how the old flame
that once filled Lieut.. Calm with
divine madness leapt out of the gray
ashes again, striving to set the fir
mament on fire as it had done in
days long gone by. And though the
fame fiicl1ers sadly from the start,
1t brings with it mellow glow that
opens human hearts all around.
While "A Wanderer Plays on Mu'ei
Strings" pretends to be nothing but
a record of the trampings and mus
ings of Knud Petersen. alias Knut
Hamsun. it manages to tell a story
OF spoiled and foiled love in a man.
Tile manner in question is extremely
Wasteful of time and attention. hut
then, says Mr.. Hamsun. why should
a tramp be sparing of what consti-
tutes his only fortune? Knud Peder-
sen has all the time in the wo Id at
his disposal. and the reader whose
impaticnce must needs run away
from him is to be pitied IL not
scorned.
This brings us up to "The Growth
OF the Soii," which is Mr.. Hamsun's
