Goethe as Critic

GOETHE'S LITERARY ESSAYS. Edited
by j. Z. Spingarn Published by Har-
court. Brace g. Co.
TNHIS is the first adequate English
arrangement of Goethe's critical
works. Mr. Spingarn has collected the
great German writer's views on many
subjects - on literature, on art and
architecture, on the drama and on ma
tionalism, as expressed in number of
essays, some of which have never been
translated into English before. The
book also includes some admirably Sc
lected excerpts from the conversations
with Eckermann. Goethe's writings
are infinitely diversified, so far as SUBJ
ject matter is concerned, but they are
united by common attitude toward
life, an attitude that can best be de-
scriped as Greek Goethe is typically
Greek in his love of beauty, in his dis
like of violence and exaggeration, in
the serene moderation with which he
passes by all petty and temporal feuds
and factions. He repeatedly rebukes
the excesses Of nationalism and refuses
to give his allegiance to anything less
than world culture and world civilza
tiOn.

A Brand of Fire
Strange Story of Intrigue
in London

FIRETONCUE. BY Sax Rohmer. Pub
lished by Doubleday. Page & Co. sl.75.
IN THIS novel Sax Rohmer returns
to the realm of intrigue and
Oriental mystery.
themes for his Fu Manchu stories.
Two heroes contest the honors in Fire
Tongue: an Englishman, Paul Harley,
o. the high-grade detective variety, and
a stoical, much-enduring American,
Nicol Rrinn. They are thrown together
through the sudden death, by poison
administered at dinner, of Charles
Abingdon, physician, who, in dying,
utters the words Fire Tongue-Brinn!"
Naturally suspicion points to Brinn, a
wealthy globe trotter with a zest for
dangerous adventure. AS to what
"Fire-Tcngue" means there is at first
much conjecture. 1t develops that
there is in London a native of India
who poses as a banker but, under cover,
is the head of semi-religous band of
fire worshippers. Brnn bears the
marks of their society branded on his
forearm, and at first is supposed to be
one of their Infamous organization.
Affairs are sadly tangled for long
time in this story, but are Strengthened
out at length in the good, old orthodox
fashion of the mystery yarn enriched
with plotting and sudden death.

Owen Johnson's Latest Novel
And the American Of TODAY
The Wasted Generation" as Sign-Post Point
ing to Old Ineff1ciencies and
New Ideals

Something greater than Agitation
has done it. It's the course of moderr
civiizati machinery. 1t began with
the first invention. To-day it is an &C
celebrating force. Ten thousand cob
blers scattered through a state are no
political force, but ten Thousand
workers in a shoe factory are. The,
live together, they think together, the,
become politically conscious. Answc
this to yourself: Can you honestly be
licve there is anything going to prevcn
class that has the power, that know
it has the power. from finally exercis
ing that power, in some way and fol
the same ends that every social move
ment has acted?"
Mr.. Owen johnson is nearer.in years
and perhaps in experience, to the pres
cnt generation than l am. If he be
lieves it has been wasted generation
his view should be given weight anc
considered carefully. He believes thai
the men whose fathers were statesmen
judges, editors and literary men of in.
fuencc have not taken these lines;
and, moreover, that they feel their in.
feriority and impotence. If Mr.. John
sons thesis is the truth, an explana.
tion Of it may be that the generation
of which he speaks has not walked ur
definitely to the economic and social
problems Of America. Many of the
men of the generation of the Great
War were, like Henry Adams, given
an eighteenth century education and O
twentieth century job. This conflict
still exists in the intellectual life of
America.
Workingmen, however, are elaborat-
ing a system for their own emancipa-
tion which will not be attained neces-
sarily by the numerical superiority Of
the working class, as one Of Mr.. John
sons characters seems to believe. OF
course, there is no question that the
majorities (stupendous majorities) rep
resented in the working class, trained
by the education received from news
papers, ballot boxes and public schools
for the last hundred years, are bound
to win out in any controversy with
privileged classes. But to judge from
the immediate output Of the socially
studious among the members of Amer
lean labor unions, an industrial de-
mocracy that gives capital and labor
and the consumer equal consideration
seems just now likely to be the next
step. Glenn E. Plumb, for the work
ers, is preaching this theory. Arthur
Nash, of Cincinnati, is giving sue.
cessful object lesson of this "indus
trial democracy"

Our Navy at War

BLUEJACKETS OF 1918. BY Willis ].
Abbott. Published by Dodd Mead e. Co.
TH1S story of the achievements of
our navy in the war is at once
authoritative in matter and. popular in
style. 1t is just the kind of book that
many people have been waiting for.
Mr. Abbott has already written several
books on the American navy, and his
knowledge Of the subject is unm-
peachable. At the same time he avoids
the technicalities which make more
serious naval histories difficult reading
for the layman. He concentrates upon
the essential facts Of our naval par
ticipation in the war; the rapid ex-
pansion of our fleet; the careful guard
ing of the transports; the constant
need, for justice saks, of taking ac-
struggle with the willy submarines; the
final, complete surrender of the German
feet.

Cromwell
Champion of Plain People
Pictured in Play

OLIVER CROMWELL. BY John Drink
water. Published by Houg hton- -MiMlin
VN THE long range of Anglo-Saxon
history two men stand out promi-
nently as types Of the defenders of
the rights of the people. Each has
points of kinship with the other, and
John Drnkwater seeing the dramatic
values of the high points of their lives,
has pictured them in plays that empha-
size, make plain the meanings Of their
careers. Abraham Lincoln is one and
Oliver Cromwell the other. Last year
he gave US the former, in stage set
ting and with a vivid sympathy in ex-
preston that actually interpreted the
great President. And now he gives
us Oliver Cromwell.
The revolt against Charles the First
begins, in this play, with denial Of
the privileges Of the overload to hold
and occupy for his own use the public
domain. Small matters often work
through crescendo to big ends, and
the spoken refusal of Cromwell, Hamp-
den and Ireton. backed by the villagers
of Ely, to yield an inch in the ques-
tion of property held to be public
leads on to a visible unrest throughout
England, and, at last, to open discus
sion in Parliament. Beneath it all runs
the current of British fair play, de-
tiant, dangerous opposition to anything.
political or religious, that should con-
fine the movement of popular freedom
When the inevitable break comes
Cromwell and his two friends go forth
in arms to fight "a lesson must be
learned" is word running all through
this keenly analytical play, and the
King and his men are to be the recipi-
ents.
1t is a far cry from Ely to the field
of Naseby, and the block and the axe
at Whitehall, and Drinkwater leads
us to the final desperate event through
stages that crystalline all The salient
episodes Of the revolution. The scenes
in CromwelPs home, on the field of
K
way that stimulates the Imagination
to complete comprehension. One senses
with a feeling of awe and profound
respect the whole hearted sympathy
and personal cooperation Of the simple
village people, the old mother of Crom-
we'll and the daring, thoughtful men
Who rode with their leader to battle.
There is the dust of movement, and
there is the shadow Of determining
events all through the scenes Of this
play. We advise all who desire to feel
in their bones and realize in their
thought what the years from 1889 to
1854 meant to the Englsh-speaking
world to get copy of "Oliver Crom-
we'll" and read it, Not only is it a
great play-it is a great commentary
o.. a special chapter in our own fight
for civic rights and religious freedom.

IN Old carolina : A Review Of Ireland in Turmoil

Gin were determined to encourage tho
aeatns Of these men in order to pro-
lain them martyrs for propaganda
purposes" From this conclusion doubt
.css, Sim Fem will dissent AS vigor-
ously and persistently as the author OF
the book upio.ds it.
To Sir IIamar Greenwood, the CHIEF
Secretary for Ireland, and thus the re-
sponsible head of the administration.
the author pays high tribute, which
| imagine Irishmen, who always ap-
prccate and admire va'or, even in their
enemies, will not dery. He was, as
the author says, a man Of worldwide
experience free from insular prejudice,
capable Of treating the Irish situation
without fear or favor; a strong man,
without fear and with the gift Of work
AMI Of making others work. and With
personality which had the supreme
power Of inspiring conf dencs when
things seemed at their darkest This
IS high praise. but it will scarcely seem
too high when we consider tho leading
and Indispensable part which hc played
in leading ireland from the year OF
horrors of 1920 to the year Of peace
and good will of 1922.

much as of the reprisnis. If we concede
that it was wrong to burn half dozen
houses because Of the murder Of
member Of the constabulary, we must
certainly also concede that the arson
lid not, in the least mitigate the
atrocity Of tho murder. If there had
ocen no outragcs by Sim Fein there
would have been no rcprisals by BLACK
and Tans."
For one feature of that year Of hor-
rors we must be profoundly grateful.
That is, that it was free from the raw
ishng of women, which was character
istic of the German campa igns in
France and Belgium. Some women we're
murdered and some appear to have
been struck and beaten But there is
no record Of sexual violation of any.
Such crimes. indeed. have always been
as foreign to Irish belligercnts as they
have been common to Germans. That
Irish revolutionary raiders would drag
girl from her home, perhaps from
her bed, cut off her hair, and then re-
lease her without further indignity.
must be regarded as most interesting
and significant phenomenon.
Three personal details must be brief
ly considered, for all of which | here
have space. One was the murder Of Mr..
MacCurtain. the Lord Mayor of Cork.
OF the deliberate atrocity Of that crime
there can be no question. AS to re-
sponsibiity for it, there will probably
always be grave question. 1t is true
that the "crowner's quest" verdict
ascribed the crime to the police. 1t
is also true that it was afterward
proved that no policeman was con-
ccrned in it. Without undertaking to
pass judgment upon the matter, the
author cites the suggestion which was
made, that Mr. MacCurtain was IRE
moved" because he was suspected of
treason to Sim Fein. 1t is obviously
unjust to cast such reproach upon the
dead without stronger cause than has
yet been made known. Why not, in
: absence Of proof Of hny other origin
attribute the crime ITO some private
fued, quite dissociatcd from politics
but shrcwdly timed and arranged tc

YOU. BY Magdeleine Marx Translated
by by Adele Sold seltzer. Published b.
Thomas Setter. So
THE LITERARY reputation of Mag

ing, rather than truly and deeply emo
tional, and in a style that seems to
achieve unconventionality only after
considerable labor, with the result that
it conveys the impression of being
both affected and pretentious. A typical
passage Of ecstatic and lyrical philoso-

"Have I ceased to be taller than
am, to be elsewhere than in myself?

beats? If there were, that would be to
crush my own heart in my breast.
Impulse that goes to the sum-
mts, to the phosphorescent dawn, to
the very end of the centuries.
Spreading night Obscure vigil.
Hands clasped Wind that takes all be-
ings In its arms and embraces them
all. Life that dies of its own song"
