ith his thoroughly proper English
flancee. who will not tolerate HIS
behavior. for he was the rare per-
son who recounted his sins. And he
wanders through the mazes Of his
AFFAIR damour until the closing
pages. where one witnesses the al
ways slopp!ly sentimental picture
OF the woman giving up the man
she loves for an ideal, this time the
ideal of something or other. a bit
vague. and related TO Peters re-
ligion and future.
Daring I'm Motif.
The volume is daring in motif,
clear in its unimportant descrip-
tive details. direct in style. but fu-
tile in its efforts to arrive at some
conclusion. The writer should have
stopped at the beginning ~ he
wished to demonstrate that "onIy
when ye become as a little child
shall ye enter the Kingdom Of
Heaven" IL demonstrates the un-
workability of the average creed in
times OF deep spiritual need. and
shows to the satisfaction OF all
those who wish to be shown and the
disgust of those who do not. that
free love is a fine and beautiful
thinn.
Two chara Cters. Peter and Julie
are clearly limned but they stano

ures. a clever device for emphasis
Altogether the work is disturbing
well done in portions. but disturb

: A tenderly touched idyll of love
in wartime Paris is the latest
work Of NJ. Roilands which has
been rendered into Englisfr by
Charles De Kay.
Pierre and LUCE grasp their hit
of happiness with avid, childish
hands even as the bombing planes
shower Paris with death. They are
very young. they sense the awful
futility of the conflict, they know
that. inevitably, II will separate
them and swallow them up. They
are. truly and consciously. but help
less puppets in the whirlpool, but
they love each other very dearly
and find in this love a transient
recompense for refuge from the ,r.
Sanized madness Of war
But this delicately wrought love
story is like slender golden en-
broidery against the black hack
ground that dominates the book.
To all intents and observations. the
book is a philippe against war. all
the more effective because il is
never rabid or unreasonable. NJ.
ROLAND does not place war blame
Rather he credits II generally and
convincingly to the marrow and

OF RunalDay Boy

David Lynn, son of Detective Sergt.
Lynn. yesterday made the follow
ing statement regarding a story in
The Herald Of May 6:
Certain statements that appear
ed about Ellsworth Morgan and me
in The Herald Saturday were un-
true. Ellsworth Morgan is one of
my best friends. and is by no means
a stranger He did not ask per-
mission to sleep in my office and !
did not lock him in there and call
the police. 1t all happened after
my working hours, SO l did not in
any way stop my work, as was
stated. The paper also said that I
was warmly commended by De-
tective Cox and my father. I have
never seen Mr.. Cox and would not
know him If 1 were, to see him.
Everything happened in a quiet
manner and there are no hard
feelings toward anybody.
The act that 1 did was at the
request Of his parents. and not
youthful sleuth' work. I did 1t the
best way I knew how, but in a en-
tirely different manner than was
stated"
