IEE LUNG JOUHNE1. by Johannes
V. Jensen. Copenhagen: Gyldendals.
TT is one of the chief charms OF
"The Outline of History" that its
deductions are nlarshaled in such
orderly fashion that the dawn of man
and his earliest activities assume rea-
sonable form, even though it is neces-
sary to make mental reservations and
allowances with reftard to absolute
authenticity. But where Wells ex-
plains, Johannes W. Jensen creates
Beginning at the era of mans earliest
appearance on cart h. he has produced
an epic in five voliimes, the final one
of which deals with Columbus and
the discovery of America. Taking the
archaeologist and the historiographer
at their own worh. and Transforming
their conjectures Into spiritual reality,
Jensen has succet lded In investing his
characters of the -stone age, as we'll as
those of before arid after. with a sense
of truth. Where Wells has laid his
emphasis on evolution the process of
mans origin, tile Danish writer ac-
cepts the anted lluvian as though he
were a familiar fact, alive in tie at
mosphere of hisI own epoch, and then
by gradual stpEes shows him on his
journey down the centuries until In

IRELAND AND THE MAKING OF
BRITAIN. By Benedict Fitzpatrick.
Funk Il Wagnalls Co.
TITO readers who know at least as
much OF the early history of
England as is contained in the
third section of the first chapter of
Green's "Short History of the English
People" the basic idea of Mr.. Fitz-
patrick's ireland and the Making of
Britainy will not come as surprise.
For in those dozen pages of Green is
to be found tribute to the great Irish
missionaries of the sixth and seventh
centuries, who, as Green states. won
England from heathendom to the
Christian church; gave her "a new
poetic literature" whose "monasteries
were already the seat of whatever in
tellectual life the country possessed"
= And in final testimony Green sayA
that the Irish church and its mission
aries 'had been the first to gather to-
gether into loose political unity the
various tribes of the English people.
and by standing at their head for near-
ly century to accustom them to a ma
tional life, out of which England, as tve
have it now, was to spring" SpecifiCBl-
ly Green gives credit for all this to

estimated the strength of the oppo-
sition to the bonus scheme generally
and to his own bill in particular.
Since the voters OF Indiana, IL
linois. Pennsylvania and Oregon
have expressed their condemnation
OF the bonus scheme, this opposition
has been developing at an astound-
ing rate. While admitting there has
been an Increase In strength of the
opposition, Senator McCumber, SEN
ator Curtis, Senator Capper, Senator
Lenroot and Senator Watson repeat
edly have expressed the opinion that
bonus bill would be reported to
the Senate and passed without any
difficulty.
In this prognostication they en-
tirely overlooked the fact that the
opponents OF the bonus bill have
been quietly active in procuring re-
cruits and mapping out a program.
The first announcement relating TO
the plans OF the opposition was
made and caused distress among
supporters OF the bonus.
II was made by Senator Borah
after comforting with Republican
and Democratic associates who have
pledged themselves to oppose the
bonus at every turn. The statement
OF the Idaho Senator, while omitting
details as to procedure, clearly in
dicates the determination OF the op-
position TO adopt the methods re-
sorted to by the agricultural bloc to
head Off the bonus. Senator Borah's
announcement. which is presented
elsewhere, caused greater perturba-

BISHOP COOK
PRAISES Darwin
His Teachings Gave World
New Way TO Look at
Things, He Says
ADDRESSES DIVINITY
SCHOOL GRADUATES

Addressing graduates at the 55th
annual commencement exercises OF
the Divinity School Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church, in Philadelphia,
yesterday, the Rt. Rev. Philip Cook,
Bishop Of the Episcopal Diocese OF
Delaware stirred the audience with
his assertion that the present-day
upheaval OF society can be traced to
the infidelity and agnosticism as
taught in the materialistic philoso-
ply Of Spencer and Nietzsche.
Those teachings are reflected to-
day" he asserted, "in the gross char
acter OF much of our manners, in
habits of dress and amusement"
II envy you" the speaker told
the graduates, "the fact that you
begin your ministry in quite diff
ferent sort of world and in a diff
ferent sort OF church from the one
knew when 1 stood in your place.
In that day the works of Oar
win. Huxley, Spencer and others
were being widely read for the first
time" He said the world owes much
10 such men who "have given it a |
new way of looking at things.
Science became frankly ma
terialistic and multitudes lost their
sense of God as a personal possess
sion. II gave rise TO the blasphe-
nous philosophy of Nietzsche. This
philosophy and this morality today
are pretty generally repudiated, but
you must remember that the Gus
toms and habits of a people are not
the result of the best thought Of the
dav. but trail along more than a
generation behind the leaders. Thus
we reap today the inevitable fruits
OF yesterdays infdelity and agnos-
ticism.
Lately there has been q new ten
dency. Leaders of science have
realized how wholly inadequate is
the materlalistic hypothesis and
have been forced TO recognize the
spiritual element Of life. However,
some have not been able to get back
10 sound spiritual thought and have
been swept into the Fantastic realm
Of spiritism. At best all this is
merely a passing phase. however,
and at least It indicates a complete
change of front as to spiritual real
titles.
The Bishop also declared that a
change was coming about in the
Church. He said that II was a
Church shaking itself free from
partisanship and less inclined to
haggle over the shibboleths OF diff
ferent schools. He pointed out that
lit is becoming a missionary Church
in vision and in enterprise"
