New Fiction in Varied Forms

for yourself SO palpably. so intensely
that the noisy street life just outside
your own window is infinitely remote
and forgotten. Yes. and not only the
background but the rich and never
failing comedy of human nature,
and of dog nature, too. for that mat
ter; and 1t is often the secondary
personages in his stories with which
Mr.. White himself seems to have the
most quiet fun and of which he most
successfully passes on the contagion.
In the present story, for instance,
one feels that Grimstead and Gardi-
ner, even Davenport and Burton. are
stock characters. The author feels
It, too, and gently burlesques them
in his opening pages. But take Sim
minis, the English butler, whose nat
ural instinct was to go hilariously
rollicking through life and whose
fate has been to play his solemn,
correct, terrifically imposing part
until 1t becomes second nature to
him. But here we have Simmins
transplanted to sphere where but
lers are a misfit: and the Two people
to whom he gives his Cockney heart,
Burton and Davenport, both refuse
to take his solemn pomposity Sc
riously, but urge him, singly and to-
gether, to ''be human" His natural
instinct and his lifelong training are
at war: and with Burton and Dayen-
port throwing in their weight we
have the delightful and unforgettable
spectacle of the slow and at times
surprising unbending of Simmins.
We really begin to have hopes for
Simmins when he answers Daven-
ports cheerful "Hullo. Simmins!"

ONE THING is CERTAIN. BY
Sophie Kerr. George II. Doran
Company
\" HIS novel shows a dramatic
force and fire that should
place Sophie Kerr at a much
higher rank than she has hitherto
reached among the more important
American women novelists, espe-
ciaily as the thing is always kept
well in hand. 1t has dignity as well as
strength, and although the climax
is so unusual that it will no doubt
shock some readers, it is justified
and entirely successful One must
go to the Oedipus for a dramatic
situation in any way comparable.
but she manages to make a conclu-
sion that might almost be said to be
inherently hopelessly revolving into
tragically beautiful thing. 1t
would hardly be fair to the book.
however, to give full resume of
the plot-at least of the last scenes
since the element OF surprise is inn
portant to the effect.
1t is a grim. unreIenting story.
delving deeply into elemental emo
tions. ruthlessly laying bare the suf-
ferings of the chief character. and
giving one of the most faithfully
hideous analyses of certain types of
sensual Puritanism and hard, narrow
religious fanaticism that has ever
been shown in fiction. John Henry
Hyde. the husband Of the unhappy
Louellen. is unqualifiedly a monster,
but unfortunately he is only too
real. Perhaps his type was COM
moner few generations ago than
it is to-day. but he Is a continuing
element in an imperfectly evolved
human system: cruel as only a re-
ligious bigot can be cruel, ayaricious,
mean In small things as well as in
great ones. and utterly bestial in his
sensuality beneath the outer re-
spectability and sanctimoniousness
of Methodist deacon. He has prac-
tically no redeeming trait. yet one
can not say that he Is at all over
drawn or in any way a caricature
1t is possible for the intelligent hu-
man animal to be as vile as that.
1t should be noted at the outset
that although the book is frank to
a point that would have been held
impossible few years ago, and does
not mince matters or eyade facts,
however brutal. when il is necessary
to display them. it is even austere
in manner. 1t is psychic surgery
but always antiseptically clean. 1t
does not indulge in innuendo. and
has no slightest taint OF morbidity in
its conception. 1t holds nothing for
the prurient or salacious reader,
though 1t would not be surprising IL

MAY SELLL|QUOR
SAYS TREASURY
BEYOND THREE
MILE LIMIT-BELIEVE THAT
CONTROVERSY STARTED BY
ADOLPHUS BUSCH WILL BE
AGITATED FURTHER

Washington, June 17.-Sale OF
liquor on shipping board vessels out
side the three mile limit is permis-
sible under new treasury regula-
tions issued today, according to P.
A. Wise, general counsel for the pro-
hibition unit.
This. Interpretation Was taken as
setting for the time being the con-
troversy over liquor on govern
ment ships precipitated by Adolphus
Busch, 3rd, the st. Louis brewer,
when he wrote President Harding
that the government was engaging
in the bootlegging business by per-
mitting sale of alcoholic beverages
on shipping board vessels.
Solution of the problem, Wayne
B. Wheeler, general counsel of the
AntiSaloon league, declared today
lies in Excluding all ships that sell
liquor from American ports"
Legislation to this end is being
considered, he said, asserting that
by putting both American and for
eign vessels on equal footing with
respect to liquor the competitive
feature of the question would be re-
moved.
The new regulations were not
drafted with the intention Of set
thing the question OF liquor on ship
ping board vessels, MIR. Wise said,
and in fact were written before that
question arose. As drawn, however,
he said, they would apply equal to
American and foreign shipsan per-
mitting intoxicating sea stores with
in the three mile limit under Gus
toms regulations which provide
that, while in American ports, all
liquors on board a snip must be
sealed up.
1t was freely predicted tonight at
prohibition headquarters, however,
that an early opinion would be
forthcoming from Attorney General
Daugherty definitely ruling on the
question of liquor on American
ships.

HOUSE WILL TURN
TO SUBSIDY BILL
AFTER SENATE HAS DISPOS-
ED OF TARIFF-COMPRO-
MISE PLAN SUGGESTED AT
WHITE HOUSE AND PRESI-
DENT DOES NOT OPPOSE 1T.

Washington, June 18.-Under a
compromise plan suggested today
to President Harding by house
Republican leaders and which, it
was said, did not meet his disap-
proval, the house will take up the
ship subsidy bill Immediately after
the senate has passed the tariff
bill.
While the question will be con-
sidered further at White House
conference next week, Chairman
Campbell of the rules committee,
who outlined the situation to the
president, declared tonight it "was
morally certain no action will be
taken on the subsidy bill by the
house until the senate has conclud-
ed consideration of the tariff"
Meanwhile party leaders pro-
fessed to be relieved that a solu-
ton of an admittedly vexatious
problem has been reached. It
meant, they said, that the presi-
dents insistence that the bill be
put to vote prior to adjournment
would be met by opposition on the
part of some Republicans.
How long it might be before the
senate ended it's tariff fight no
member of the house. would pre-
dict. Traders declared, however,
that if the suggestion laid before
the president by Mr.. Campbell was
definitely accepted the house about
July l could begin three day re-
cesses to run approximately
month. A quorum would be need
ed to send the tariff bill to confer
ence and with this out of the way
these members believed the ship
subsidy bill, once before the house
could be passed or defeated within
a week.

RICHMOND READY
TO MEET VETERANS
THIN GRAY LINE IN VIRGINIA
CITY-cONFEDERATES NOT
ALONE AT REUNION, COM.
PANION ORGANIZATIONS AL
so TAKING PART.

Richmond, Va, June 18.-With the
proverbial outstretching of welcom-
ing arms, Richmond, the center of all
that true lovers of the South and the
Confederacy hold dear, is ready and
eager to play host to the fast dwind-
ling remnant of the "thin gray line"
the vanguard of which descended on
the one time capitol of the Confed-
eracy with the arrival of every train
from the furthermost stretches of
Dixie tonight.
While the lanes leading from the
South are lined with the oncoming
throng the roads from the West, and
North too, are bringing a great gath
ering Of grizzled Confederate veter-
ans, their sons and daughters, grand
sons and granddaughters, who have
strayed far from the shadow of the
Southland during the last few dec
ades.
The reunion of 1922, probably the
last that ever will be held in Rich
mond, is taking on an unwonted mag
nitude because this city was the heart
of the Confederacy, the headquarters
of its government and the site of
familiar spots made famous by Lee
and Jackson, Stuart and Davis,
which native Richmonders pass over
with but scant thought, but which
are hallowed ground to the Con-
federate veterans who are coming
fired by return of the old impulses
that made their love for the South
land and all that it represented so
great in 1861.
Richmond never has and probably
never again will be host to such a
gathering as will be within its con-
fines this week. The city from one
end to the other is in gala attire and
the holiday spirit is in the air. Broad
and Main and other thoroughfares
have been literally and in some in
stances lavishly decorated with the
familiar and beloved Stars and Bars,
the inspiring starry blue cross on a
field of red and the red, white and
blue of Old Glory.

NEWSPAPERS TAKE LEAD
In Discussing Her Divorce, Says

divorce which has been taking
place in the United States news
papers for the past five years. If
the newspapers are bound to di-
vorce us, let them, 81 don't care"
This statement was authorized
today by Mrs. Vincent Astor
through her secretary. She is iv-
ing here in a modest three-story
private house. Her husband came
especially from the United States
to see her ten days ago and spent
two days with her in the house. He
then went to England to visit his
mother. He was a passenger on
the steamer, Mauretania, which
sailed from Cherbourg last night.

NEW AGREEMENT.
ON SIZE Of ARMY
COMES DOWN AND
HOUSE GOES uP-COMPRO-
MISE CALLS FOR ONE HUN.
QRED AND TWENTY-FIVE
THOUSAND ENLISTED MEN.

Washington, June 18.-House
and senate conferees on the army
appropriation bill reached a COM
promise late today on an army of
$4,000 enlisted men for the next
12 months. This represents a re-
duction of 5000 from the senate
figure and an increase of 10000
over the size of the army fixed by
the house.
Decision as to the conference re-
port on the enlisted strength
leaves only two important sections
of The annual supply bill to be con-
sidered, exclusive Of the Muscle
Shoals amendment approving ST.
100000 for the continuation Of
work on the federal power project
in the Tennessee river. It already
has been agreed by the conference
committee that the question
should be submitted direct to the
house because Of the controversial
character of the subject involved,
Chairman Wadsworth Of the SEN
ate military committee, said that
only the items dealing with the off,
Ger strength and the national
guard provisions remaining to be
determined. -.
1t was expected that a reduction
from the number Of officers fixed
by the senate would follow the
compromise as to enlisted person
mel. The house fixed a maximum Of
1000 as. the number Of officers
while the senate amendment put
the officer strength at an average
Of 1850 for the coming year.
