THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

The compelling interest of inner con-
struction In writing has never been
sufficiently stressed.
It Is something above mere sentence
building, as important as that Is. It
stands apart from wit, or pathos, or
plot.
This interest of which we speak lies.
rather, In the mental approaches OF
the writer to his subject.
It Is perhaps best exemplifled In
recent years in THE Story Of San
Michele" by DR.. Axel Munthe.
When all due credit Is given to the
Swedish doctor for his charming Eng
lish style, there yet remains an appeal
which is unexplained.
We name it, although perhaps we
may not be able to explain it. the COM
pelling interest Of inner construction.
There are scores Of books, of course,
which hinge entirely upon this quality.
Perhaps every good book does, to
some extent, but only one, every now
and then, to the supreme extent in
dicated.
San Michele" is one.
+ \ X
The mental approaches Of q writer,
which give work this charm of inner
construction, depend on humor, honesty
and gentleness, and certain other quail
tiles.
A certain gayety of spirit must be
there, perhaps best shown in whim-
sicality.
reader to do good deeds vicariously,
presents US with his goblin, now beloved
the world around.
No amount of pointing to the SEN
fences, and declaring they are grace
fully written, will explain the precise
charm of DR.. Munthe'S goblin, who sits
on the foot Of his bed and listens to his
watch.
The charm here Is that of our secret
inner construction, which depends upon
the man behind the words. Perhaps
better than any writer, DR.. Munthe
manages sentiment without sentiment
tally. Not one Of his hundreds of
thousands of readers, 1t Is safe to say
even those who are good In the writing
game-could duplicate his achievement,
mainly because they would fall into
mawkishness the moment they eSSayed
his devices.
His untold love for the Countess and
his loss Of her are given without the
slightest approach to anything which
might SAVIOR Of the overdone, the mawk-
ish, sentimental touch which disf1gures
the writings Of many who know better
but who cannot help themselves.
The extreme example Of the senti-
mental run wild is the work of the
typical sob sister" Of journalism. For
tunately the type is tending to pass.
Amateur correspondents often fall into
the same error. It is difncult one
even for the veteran.
The writer of San Michele" who
disclaims being an author, but turns
out to be one in large degree, slips
over the pitfall Of sentimentality by a
wholesome, honest approach to the
theme of help for the unfortunate, the
downtrodden, the sick, the dying.
The little creatures Of earth, which
stir all persons of good will to pity, are
written about by DR.. Munthe with a
combination of humor, honesty and
gentlenesS which transcends anything
of its kind done in years.
Even in sadness he possesses gay
ETY. Of spirit which outShines all else.
It is the compelling interest furnished
words by paramount inner construc-
ton.

Ludendorff Draws Smiles
With His Prediction of War

ing picture Of the background Of the
next war Is hardly to be expected from
him. But as a strategist and as an
appraiser Of merely military factors his
competence may be admitted, and he
Is likely to promote peace because OF
the crushing blow he gives TO the hopes
Of his Nationalist associates and friends.
Probably his intention was sim
ply to warn his countryrnen against .

London Day comments: Fortunately,
the political alignment Is bit weird,
but otherwise the statement should have
its value. For one thing, he portrayS

discussion OF the matter: docs he

dorn picture, and perhaps that may
make him so angry he'll begin war.
Hitler, the Fascist, Is said to have
selected Won Ludendorff as one Of the
leaders in his plan for a war Of revenge.
It would be interesting to know what is
behind Won Ludendorff'S prediction.
Germany will not be annihiIated. Ger
many need have no fear so long as she
keeps on as she has done, no fear from
other nations. Her danger lies within
her own borders"
It Is admitted by the Utica Observer
Dispatch that cit Is very probable there
are war seeds IN Central Europe" but
that paper emphasizes "the last lesson"
taught BY the World War. The Toronto
Daily Star charges that the genera was
INDUCING in election propaganda" and
adds that although the European sitl~
alton Is not bright. the prospect Of Q
war developing In 1882 with q lineup
such as described by LudendorR Is re-
mote" The Star concludes that "the
prediction served Its purpose In alarm
ing the German people and making
them realize the weakness Of their de-
lenses"

Gen. Erich Won Ludendorff's pessimist
prophecies Of war In 1882 are not taken
seriously in America. His belief that
England and Russia would be future
allies Of Germany Is looked upon as par
ticularly unlikely. His fear Of disaster
for Germany Is interpreted as o warn
ing to ambitious leaders IN his own
country.
Conservative Germany" says the
New York Sun, thought 1t was re-
leved of Gen. Ludendorn's outbreaks
some time ago, when he Joined forces
With Adolf Hitler. It was q congenial
combination, with promising results for
Germany-the killing Of two birds
with one stone" The Sun continues:
According to his prophetic utterance,

merry month Of May, 1882. 'Per1d1ous
Albion is then to fight shoulder to

far as Europe Is concerned, this war Is
to be inclusive and free for all. Even
the British dominionS are to have no
part in it. And, thank goodness, the
United States Is not expected to respond
to Ludendorffs buglel"
Referring to his "peSsimistic utter
ance that Germany will be crushed into
the earth, never to rise again." the
Sioux City journal remarks that "the
general probably figures that this will
happen because he Is getting too old to
turn the tide of battle in his country's
favor" The Asheville Times. observing

declaring that the general has been un-

with satire in the statement: HE says
the war will begin May /, 1892, though
there are others who do not quite agree.
Some claim the date will be April 20
