Sergeant Nelson
Of the Guards
BIZ Gerald KerSch. winston,
$780,

By Gerald Kersch. winston,
$780,
Had this novel been undertaken
In less of moralistic spirit, it could
easily have been a distinguished
piece of realism. But the constant
comparison to Kipling which has
attended Gerald Kersch's work seems
to have had a suggestive effect. For
Mr.. Kersch is not content simply to
write of single men in barracks and
Britain's thin red lines of eroes in
his true artists prose; he must also
dote. He must tell us that the single
men who make up the thin red lines
are natures very noblemen. He out
Kipling's Kipling at that sport, for
the poet did admit that the 'eroes
stole dogs and sometimes even their
neighbors' wives. But not Mr..
Kersch.
His novel is on the training of the
typical Coldstream Guardsman and
he writes of it much as less gifted
writer once wrote of the adventures
of Frank Merriwell. 1t is too bad
indeed, it is practically tragic, for
Mr.. Kersch can put words together
very nobly. Almost he can per-
suade you to believe in his fine
golden-hearted fellows. But COM
mon sense and humanity are against
it. You presently put him down
with sigh.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-04-22

rhapsodies. Gen. San Martin, who
freed Argentina. Chile and Peru from
Spain, was not, it seems, mere mil
itary hero. He was Orpheus, he was
ParSifal, he was the Child of the
Sun foretold by the Incas, he was
st. Paul on the road to Damascus.
And so on. But, Notwithstanding his
flights into fancy, Dr. Rojas has done
sound historical work.
He does tell his story and he docu-
ments it.
Particularly interesting is his in
depreciation of the mysterious re-
tirement Of San Martin after his
first and last meeting with Bolivar.
The doctor makes it reasonably Ger
tain that Bolivar himself was re-
sponsible for his confreres sudden
disappearance from the politico-
military scene. He refused San
Martins cooperation purely from
Jealousy, improbable though that
seems, considering the weakness of
the revolutionists' military position.
But DR.. Rojas' sources are quoted
letters to Bolivar from San Martin
himself.
Similarly the main points of the
hero's history are buttressed by au-
thorlty. But no reader can escape
the conclusion that in the authors
view the reason for writing a biog-
raphy is the opportunity which it
gives for oratory of a kind once
known in this country as Fourth
of July" One does not know
whether to be more amused or en-
barrassed as one reads these pas
sionate purple periods.
