JOHN DOS PASSOS is
CALLED TO DEFENSE
OF THREE SOLDIERS"

In view of the controversy which
Dos Passos book of the war
"Three Soldiers" has created
among Book Corner readers the fol-
lowing defense of the story by the
author himself, which appeared in
a New York paper is printed here
with:
"a novel isn't a history. If you
were going to draw picture of
any big thing you'd be struck by
some mood Of it, but you couldn't
draw complete picture. l wanted
to state the, side OF the people un-
derneath, who were the peopl6 that
interested me. My three men were
typical of the under dog. or course
there were enormous numbers of
people who had a better time and
were more prosperous than they
had ever been in their lives. I
thought made the people in the
book have good time now and
then, but perhaps the expurgator
took that out. On the whole,
couldn't get any other impression
than the one | set down. The whole
point is in the little quotation at
the front.
IT wrote it to get 1t off my chest;
wrote it in France before I had
come home and entirely without
knowing the bright, white visions
that this country had built up. You
see, I couldn't have written 1t to
smash any illusions, because
didn't know this country had any
illusions. I was only in this coun-
try one week during the war. I had
signed up with the French ambu-
lance service a long time before
the United States went into the
war and served In the Vosges in
the spring of 1917. Then 1 came
back to Allentown for one week
during the war because I had to
get waiver on account of my eye
sight in order to join the American
army ambulance corps.
II didn't find people were very
patriotic at the front. They were
more human as they got nearer
everybody seemed ever so much
nicer and more human near the
front but there was a sort of mad
house atmosphere about it that
people over here didn't understand
at all. Things would sort of go
snap and they would do perfectly
extraordinary things"

HERO HOURS
Billy Kane Has His Day of
Adyenturc

Doors OF the Night" by Frank L.
Packard. (Doran)
Billy Kane was the amiable, af-
fable, law-abiding private secretary
to David Ellsworth, millionaire phil
anthropist. But that was s o'clock
in the evening. BY 8 o'clock he
was charged with frightful MUIR
der.
Limping, wounded, exhausted
from the loss of blood, he. tumbled
into q basement only to be hailed
as the lost leader of the UNDER
world, 1.-THE Rat" The next morn
ing he prowled the streets unmo-
Tested as the officials of a nation
searched for the slayer of David
Ellsworth. Then there were other
murders and puzzling crimes. The
whole underworld structure seemed
tottering.
A woman came into the story
a black-gowned, quiet, forceful
woman who seemed to have some-
thing on The Rat" She bounded
Billy Kane and unwittingly aided
him in the solution of some OF the
problems which confronted him.
Doors OF the Night" is the title
WHICH II rank -. IdChdTu has given
to his absorbing mystery story. He
has drawn a fine character in Billy
Kane and has placed him in an
unusual setting.
But Mr.. Packard knows how to
describe the underworld of a me-
tropolis in a manner to fascinate
the reader. An earlier novel, 1.-THE
Miracle Man" proved his capacity
to spin yarn without a dull mo-
ment. He has done it again in
Doors of the Night"
AS usual, his characters stand out
sharply from the ordinary type of
men and women encountered in
the field of, popular fiction. There
is the Woman in Black, the Mole,
the Man with the Crutch, The Rat
the Cherub, Birdie Rose and Red
Vallon,-a constant stream of fig
ures who would probably be right
at home on a police docket.
Mr.. Packard writes easily and en-
tertainingly. Every chapter moves
swiftly; every paragraph advances
the story. For an interesting, per-
sonally-conducted tour of the I'M
derworld, Doors of the Night"
serves admirably. c. P. A.

LOSSES JUMP HALF MILLION
AS FIREBUGS GET BOLDER
New Arson Schemes Being Used Some Based on Maga-
zine Articles-Wire and Bottle of Alcohol
Spread Blazes.

The arson wave which fire depart
ment and insurance company officers
have been trying to check for the last
few months has grown to such proper
tios that fir losses in the metropolitan
area, which includes several New Jersey
cities. were 100000 greater In January
and February than IN the same period
in 1890. according to statements made
by an insurance official last night. The
insurance companies say that firebugs
are buster now than ever before in the
history Of the city.
In 1921 the fire loss to the risk compa-
MES in the metropolitan area was $780,
100000 on a premium income OF SIS. .OO0.-
600 percentage OF 70. This was on
claims passed through committees and
payment on claims in which fewer than
three companies were involved, which

OF Fire Underwriters recently appro-
priated 100000 to establish vigilance
committee, and the fire department has
organized business squad which an
swers all alarms in the loft district and
investigates eacn fire.

ART TO INVOKE LAW
TO SAVE ROUGH GUY
MacMonnies Not Yet in Con-
troversy, but Will Appeal to
Courts if Necessary.

Frederick MacMonnies, creator of the
Rough Guy, sometimes referred to as
Civic Virtue" has been deIuged with
letters and kilograms of sympathy and
support in the controversy in which
the sculptor himself has declined to take
any part. Not only from this city but
from the country over have poured in
messages praising the pictured group
and calling upon Mr.. MacMonnies to
stand by his rights in an absurd con-
troversy.
And that Is what the sculptor intends
to do At the proper time, after the
hearing set for April by the Mayor
shall have been held. Mr.. MacMonnies
will have the completed group brought
down town and will apply for permit
from Park Commissioner Gallatin. In
case Mr.. Gallatin refuses to grant the
permit-and 1t Is not at all certain now
that he will refuse-Mr MacMonnies
will ask the Supreme Court to take
cognizance of the law and to direct
writ of mandamus against the Park
Commissioner.
sioner Gallatin in an embarrassing posi-
tion, and 1t is known he disapproves of
the attitude that has been taken. Per-
sonally he admires the MacMonnies
group and sees no reason why 1t should
not be placed where 1t was ordered. At
the hearing last Tuesday Mr. Gallatin,
who knows good deal about art, looked
several times as IL he wanted to get
out into the air. Some predictions were
made yesterday that the Park Commis-
sioner is likely to go into open rebellion
IL the Mayor seeks to put him in a
false and absurd position.
Deputy Comptroller Henry Smith. rep
resenting Comptroller Craig, continues
to wave the scarlet gonfa1on of defiance
to Hylan's DEGREES. 1t is not possible
to quote Mr.. Smith. most earnest
emphatic and vocabularily gifted per-
son. in detail. but the substance Of his
remarks Is that the city fathers of past
generations must be turning over and
over in their graves. One gets the i'm
preston after very few minutes con-
versation that il the Mayor bars the
Rough Guy from the City Hall Park
then the Mayor will have to walk all
over Henry Smith so to do. and Let
him tryi' says Henry. The truth Is the
Deputy Comptroller. backed by Craig,
has become Sculptor MacMonnies's per-
sonal adviser in the matter, and the at
titude taken by Mr.. Smith has done
good deal to hearten Mr.. MacMonnies,
who had been annoyed and distressed
at the buffoonery of the attacks.
From the citadel of the Rough Guys
enemies came no pronunciamentos yes
tarday. but there was reason to believe
that agents OF the Burgomaster are
laboring to fill the Council Chamber
with indignant women at the hearing
week from next Tuesday That hearing
bids fair to be livelier rough and tum.

FORGETS HIS MOTOR,
PARKED ON A FERRY
Silk Merchant Is in Too Big a
Hurry to Bother About a
Paltry Automobile.

Ernest ]. Reugg. who. being a silk
merchant. has many things to think
about besides a paltry automobile,
drove his car from his home at 4s7
Clinton street, West Hoboken. to the
Weehawken ferry on the morning OF
March 4. The day having broken rather
chilly. he left the car in the runway
OF the ferryboat and repaired to the
mems cabin. There he conscientiously
read his newspaper until the boat
bumped into its slip at the foot of West
Forty-second street Manhattan AT
this signal he arose and Joined in the
exodus of commuters through the ferry
house. Hailing taNcab he rode to his
office-SchwarzenbaE. Huber & Co,
Fourth avenue and Thirty-second street
--and plunged into the business of the
day.
Meanwhile Mr.. Reugg's deserted
Cadillac became the subject of specula-
ton on the ferryboat, AS no owner
appeared to drive it off 1t was rolled
up the gangplank by deckhands. Fred
Pollock, superintendent of New York
Central ferries, was called into consul
tation. He advanced two theories.
One was that the car had been stolen
In New Jersey and the thief, repenting
or becoming alarmed, had decided to
leave 1t on the boat. The other was
that the owner had jumped into the
river, suicide. A policeman was
called inc Just then a stranger from
New Jersey said he thought he knew
the car and that its owner was Mr..
Reugg.
And so.' said Mr.. Pollock yester-
day. "the policeman went to see Mr..
Reugg, found him in his office and
asked him. Where Is your car, Mr..
Reugg" Why down in the street where
I left It, said the silk merchant, indi-
eating a parking space below"
Yesterday Mr.. Reugg appeared in East
Orange before w. L. Dill. New Jersey
State Motor Vehicle Commissioners.
"This." said Mr.. Dill rs the most pc
culiar case ! have ever had. How did
it happen?"
Mr.. Reugg concealed nothing. "I for
got 1t, just as one would forget an UNI
brelia." he told the Commissioner. He
explained that sometimes he drove his
automobile to Manhattan and sometimes
had his chauffeur drive him as far as
the ferry. On the morning in question
he simply failed to remember that this
was one of the times when he was his
own chauffeur.
The Commissioner remarked that he
didn't know that such forgetful man
should be driving an automobile, but as
Mr.. Reugg's record was in other respects
Immaculate he let him off with a sus-
pended sentence, which means that II
Mr.. Reugg forgets again his license can
be taken away.
mo. SIR said Mr.. Pollock. the ferry
superintendent, last night, I'VE have
known Of men leaving punlsins and wa
termelons and children on the boats, and
one left a demijohn of rum. but never
an automobile before. / met Mr.. Reugg
and he is a fine man. j went over to
East Orange to-day to testify. I hated
to. but things like this kind OF tic up the
ferry service. you know"
Mr.. Reugg was reticent yesterday. He
said II seemed to him that the matter
was OF no public interest.

NEW RADIO DEVICE
INVENTED BY SQUIER
Apparatus Is Attached to
Electric Lamp.

WASHINGTON, March "a (Associated
Press).-A new development in radio
by which music. news. lectures and
other forms of speech can be received
by attaching the usual receiving instru
ment to the electric lamp and elimin-
ating the antenna as well as relieving
the congestion OF wireless broadcasting
in the air was announced to-day by
Major-Gen. Suuier. its inventor.
The first public demonstration was
held in the Signal Corps headquarters
to-day. The whole operation OF INSTALL
Ing the device for receiving consisted
merely OF removing a bulb from lamp
on Gen. Sauier's desk, inserting the re-
ceiving plug In the same manner as the
electric fans. vacuum cleaners and fiat
irons have been attached TO the lighting
circuits.
The broadcasting station, it was ex-
planned. was connected to the lighting
circuit through lamp receiver at an
other point.
The New York herald., 1922-03-25

In spite of these agencies and the CO.
operation of the police. the firebug is
getting bolder and his success is an
creasing. Fires occurred all of last
Wednesday night in the wholesale dis
trict between Fourteenth and Twenty
fourth streets. Men who set fire to their
places of business have evolved many
ingenious schemes that escape detection.
Several appear to have taken cues from
magazine stories and have used trailers
Of celluloid, moving picture film and
gun cotton, by which means a fire Is
started in one corner and quickly
spreads throughout the building.
In two fires on Broadway within the
last forty-eight hours the authorities
have found wires strung from the plants
or places where the fires originated to
places Of concealment. where a wire was
pulled that released containers of alco-
hol. These tipped and spilled their con-
tents on fire which had already been
started, causing Il to spread rapidly and
making it difficult for the firemen to
fight it. But in these instances some
thing went wrong, and the firemen put
out the blaze before the flames had de-
stroyed traces of the apparatus.

MANY TUBERCULAR
FIREMEN, SAYS KENLON
Chief Argues for Gas Cutoffs
to Eliminate Hazards.

'The firemen OF New York city are
among tho finest athletes in the world.
They are the pick OF the worlds smoke
eaters. but there is a lot of tuberculosis
In the department. I'd sooner let n fire
destroy a building than sacrifice a sim
gle man in my department in a blaze
where gas is escaping"
The foregoing Is what John Kenlon,
Fire Chief. told the Building Committee
OF tho Board of Aldermen yesterday
during consideration of resolution that
would require the installation of gas
cutoffs on every building where gas Is
used.
The cost Is estimated at about Si5,-
100000. or an average of about 500 q
building. There was no opposition
