sSeme DistinguisAeA Aneticans." I'm
aginary portraits by Harvey j.
O'Hlggins. New York City: Harper
4 Brothers.
4, is said that convention prevents
the truth from being told about dis
tlnguished Americans In their ofIicial
Biographies. In this instance the
author, by presenting book OF I'M
aginary Portraits. has escaped the
conventional restraints by writing his
biographies in fiction. so that he might
tell the naked truth about typical
Americans and the environments that
produced them. The illusion OF
reality. however. inheres in these
stories, and will linger with the reader
like a subtle fragrance.
The portraits, in succession, are of
Henri Anton. Big Dan Reilly. Mrs.
Murchison, Warden Jupp, Peter
Quayle, DIR. Adrian Hale Hallmuth, and
Vance Cope. To whom these names
may allude Is a matter Of conjecture,
but the stories in which they are
presented will be found Of vivid and
startling interest. They are drawn
with rare skill, and the incidents that
nre pictured are full OF dramatic force
and intensity. with situations rivalling
any that are presented on the stage.
Harvey J. O'Higgins Is an American
writer who has Justly acquired fame
and popularity by the excellence of
his productions. Beginning, as a news
paper reporter. with short stories
which strikingly portrayed the most
impressive features OF everyday life
in New York City, especially in the
lines OF flre-hshting and police pro-
lection, he advanced in his writing
career easily and naturally by virtue
of industry and merit. He occupies
a special niche in American fiction by
reason of his rare ability to penetrate
10 the forbidden sources of human be-
havior. His stories are more than
diverting bits of fiction. Each one
hoats an underlying stream Of an
alysis that sometimes comes 10 the
surface. dissolving momentarily the
immediate view OF the situation in a
larger prospect. Tho present volume

The articles collated into this book
originally appeared in the Phlladel-
phia Evening Public Ledger, where
they attracted great deal of atten-
ton and altogether favorable COM
ment. In their present form they
comprise a book about books which
people are now reading, book of
contemporary comment on what is go
ing on in poetry, drama, the essay and
criticism.
The author holds that the first
qualification Is an open ear, the sec
ond an open spirit. He is of no clique
and the supporter OF no movement
either radical or reactionary. He
knows that the root OF all that we are
Is in the past: but he is ever ready to
welcome the good in the newest Of

Verities are to be treated with becom-

that the gods laughed together upon
olympus, and that the righteousness
of people was not created in this world

THE ALLIES ATTITUDE.

The attitude of the Allies toward the claim of the United States for payment of its expenses for occu- pancy of the Rhineland may be sur missed in u measure, by the intensity of the financial interest each nation has in the reparation payments. France believes it has the paramount right to it's share of the German payr nents; France feels she needs the help more than any other nation. It is natural, therefore, that she sees soundness in fallacious arguments against the claim of the United States. England and Italy, by the same reas- oning, are more inclined to see the justice of our claim. Moreover Eng land is apparently more eager for our friendship; possibly she feels less con- ident of it than does France; cer- tainly she is less independent where we are concerned than is France.
 The racial characteristics, also, enter into the attitude of France and England regarding our claim. France is full of violent, passionate apprecl- alton of the sufferings of the country. She sees no chance of ever having the debt to her discharged, iii a spiritual sense. The payment of any sum Of money is but small satisfaction to this sentiment. Certainly she should have this money, at least, before there IS any thought of others, is the prevalent feeling in France.
 England, more cold blooded, thor oughly commercial and business like, must recognize what her attitude would be in similar position. She would demand at least what the United States has demanded.
 And out of the whole situation comes again the realization that the distance, physical and otherwise, which lies between this country ana Europe must eventually be bridged as those who favor some closer associa- tion of nations have advocated.

MENTALITY AND CRIME.

The feeble-minded are not the criminals, The old theory that the contrary was true has been blasted. A committee of the Chicago crime commission reports that the level of intelligence among first offenders is about the same as that of the men drafted into the army.
 As long as if was believed that the mentally deficient were the most apt to become criminals, the theory that education would do much to abolish crime seemed erroneous. If the minds of criminals were incapable of being educated. what good would 1t do to try to educate them to abandon crime?
 The disproving of this old theory emphasizes again the wisdom of in- intensifylng the advantages that are already offered. In plain language luC Ciiiiiiiidl 10 ilo iool III ItBuiu to things he has had a chance 10 learn. He has learned those things well and has become adept in them.
 The whole trouble is that the crim- inal has not had the chance to learn the folly of crime as viewed from a broad, practical standpoint. He sees material benefits to be gained from committing crime, His education has been confined to things material. Opening course for him in knowl- edge of things not material" will give him chance to learn that the great est happiness and joy cannot be car ried away in bag or loaded onto a truck. Now that it is found he has q mind capable of earning degree in this course of study it will be worth while to open such a course for him. Practical preaching of the joys of l honesty, free from what he would call ''mush' and .sentimentalism, will ! bring him inestimable benefit and will do much to purge the world of crime. There are sound, practical argu- 1 ments against a criminal career. They should be emphasized.

THE COAL SITUATION.

The President has been urged to compel the operators of coal mines to meet the miners in a conference over wages. There appears to be no authority vested in the President to bring this about even though there might be hope seen in such action.
 It is believed, however, that the administration has power to prevent a fuel famine from paralyzing the country. Just the moment when such a situation would arise would be a matter of opinion which is of suffi- cient elasticity to allow drastic meas uyes to be taken before actual suffer- ing begins.
 The government has authority to keep the railroads running, according to the statement of Attorney General Daugherty. This power implies nec- essarily the right to see that the rail- roads have fuel and this, of course, means that the government may see that the mines are operated. Contin- ued operation in the coal fields to the extent necessary to furnish fuel for the railroads would take the back bone from the strike. If the govern ment will remain firm in it's indicated stand this attitude will make useless the action of the striking miners.
 Perhaps drastic action in this emergency is too much to expect Of the administration. although the in- dications are that the administration frame of mind is such as to suggest such determination. It is to be hoped that such action will be taken, not for the sake of the operators who are alleged to be eager to desire to ac- complish the impossible feat of max ing the miners unions powerless per manently, but for the sake of the country just beginning to regain its normal ability to approach prosper ity after a painful experience with misfortune.

TREATY RATIFIED

ouite as a clear idea finally pene' trates to brain previously pefosse" bv self-interest, misconception, suspl- cion and stubbornness. the Four-Po"- CT treaty passed the Senate yesterday through a maze of some thlrty-ohe defeated amendments. It merged uh- clouded by any change other than 'he simple addition which puts in few words the spirit already in the treaty and which says that the Nnltea States understands that under the statement in the preamble or under the terms of this treaty there Is no commitment to armed force, no alll- ance. no obligation to join in any de- fense.'
 Perhaps there was no real danger of it's defeat. Perhaps there was no danger that the work of the wash inrton conference would not receive the sanction Of the country which made that work possible. Quite possi- hIv those who fought against ratifi- cation of the treaty were moved, not by a real desire to bring defeat, but bv the wish to place themselves in- diy1dually in a position to be able to say. if some nlishap should come 10 the country which could be traceable to the ratification Of the treaty that they, and they with but few others,
