Satiric Allegory by Anatole France Tho library of tho d'nsparvleus con tained the mofit complcto collection of thtologlcnl writings In tho world. Manu scripts formed a most valuable portion M. Julian Snrlcttc, a doddering book worm, lovlnsr these volumes as being more precious than children or gold, was curator. One morning tho venerable keeper of tho 360,000 volumes, entering tho sanc tcrum, stopped (lend, stupefied. On tho bluo cloth covor of the writing tnble, scattered pell-mell, pnges dog-eared, lay a tottering pllo of Invnlunbto books and manuscripts. Books continue to vanish nightly. They nro found In the summer house of the estate. One evening tho librarian Is hit on the head with a book In Invisible hands; on another occasion ho sees a volume whirled through tho room and out tho vtlndow, ns If It hnd wings. Presontly wo learn. In rending "The Revolt of tho Angels," Anatole France's latest work, published In n translation bv John Lane, New York, that "angels arc descending dally Into Paris like rain." More, they nrc planning n second rovolt. And ono of the nngals, Arcade, hns been Invisibly frequently tho library In order to study theology nnd nscertnln tho vul nerability of heaven. Arcado, having materialized, goes to a rendcrvous with Mlrnr. Mlrar. having come down aomo time beforo, alighted in a music hall, where ho saw Douchottc, n singer. Thereupon ho lost all dcslro to return to heaven. Together tho two an gels faro forth to seek tho fallen arch angel Ithurlcl, known on tho earth as Zlta. They meet her In a taVorn, where aho rends tho newspapers Arcade outlines his plans for an Insur rection In heaven. "Man hns created Bdenco and tho Important thing Is to Introduce It Into heaven." When tho angels get somo notion of physics, chem istry, astronomy nnd physiology they will revolt, explains he. "Do you think so7" murmured Zlta, pufllng out tho Btnoko of her clgaretto. "Nevertheless, this knowledge by which you reckon to enfranchise heaven has not destroyed religious sentiment on earth." Zlta has developed her plans, however. Tho attack must be made In great num bers and after the most means of war fare, with modern explosives the re bellious angels will outdo the old-fashioned nrrovis nnd thunderbolts. Completing all arrangements, the fallen angels go to confer with Satan in a tem ple on the Ganges. That night Satan has a dream. He dreams he conquers heaven. Enjoying supreme power, he ceases to pity those suffering on the earth. He condemns Intelligence nnd hates curios ity. Dense fumes of theology fill his brain. Centuries pass like seconds. He sees his dethroned enemy one day rising up from holl, filled with love for the world and determined upon Its redemp tion. Ho wakes In an Icy sweat. "Comrades," said the great archangel, "we will not conquer the heavens. Knough to have power. War engenders war, nnd victory defeat." They remain upon the earth. "The Revolt of the Angels" Is an epochal book, staggering In Its Imagina tive conception, brilliantly Incisive In Us satire. It will appeal to all readers of Intelligence and selection. Boating and Baseball George Barton has turned out two more delightful books for boys "The Bell Haven Eight" and "The Bell Haven Nine" (John C. Winston Company, Phil adelphia). We said "for boys," but we have seen certain little girls reading them feverishly, and suspect that to these young minds. Just opening up to the wonders of romance, Bobble Benson carries the same appeal as do the heroes of love stories to their grown sisters and mammas. "Tensely interesting, and Tings with sincerity."

J-, , . FHANOISOO iH3 Col. French on Bernhardi It Is surely one of tho grim Jests of this war that perhaps General von Bern hardl'd greatest work on military tactics, "Cavalry," a work that has been re ceived with acclaim by all the great mili tary scientists of Europe, now published In this country by George H. Doran, New York, with an enthusiastic preface by the lender of the English expeditionary force on the Continent, Sir John Frenoh, should concern Itself with a branch of arms that hns been found totally useless In tho very campaigns of which It waa auppoed to be the soundest prophecy. Yet cavalry has played a very Incon spicuous part In tho campaigns In France, Belgium and Flandors. General Bernhardi and Sir John French -both be llevod thai In a European war cavalry would be an almost prime elemont of victory. The only cavalry that has done any thing really worth while Is the Russian, the nlld, untrained and despised Cos sacks, who have beaten the Germans In Poland and East Prussia at their own game without any science at nil. The Lngllsh cavalry, the French, the Herman have been dismounted and put to work in the trenches. Sir John French Indorsed Bernliarai heartily. He called on every Intelligent army student to read and digest his work. Rut tho moment ho got his men Into Franco In this war ho popped them off their mounts and Into bomb-proof trenches. That so respectfully referred to as "the nrt" of war seems singularly deficient In alt those, qualities that dis tinguish art from opportunism. The House of Deceit Tho llfo strry of an English politician who began ns a young enthusiast in the cnuse of Nonconformlsm, who became filled with tho crusaders spirit to re form tho living conditions of the factory workers, and who forced his way by sheer eloquence and tho magnetic power Inherent in tho character of the dema goguo to n powerful place In Parliament and eventually Into tho office of Homo Secretary, and then, broadened by asso ciations, weakened by culture, made cynical by experlenco nnd softened by a love In middle age, sinks Into tho obscurity of a minor office and limited means, bitter, dull, extinguished such, In brief, Is "Tho Houso of Deceit," by an anonymous author (Heriry Holt & Co., New York). It Is n bitter, vivid book, mordant, cynical, with tho superficies of realism but actually Imbued In every s liable with perverse romance. The romantic spirit In s6me of us finds Its dally expression In being ready Instantly to believe tho worst of our friends, It Is not customary to refor to that trait as romantic but slnco romance Is clothing tho dull round of days with Imaginings, tho flight of fancy which Invests any ono one of us dull follows with the cunning of a Mnchl ovalll, tho activities of a Hyde, nnd the moral prlnlcplcs of a pickpocket. Is surely a flight of Imagination a breathless Illght for some and In Its essence Is really romantic. It's unpleasant romance, of course, nnd thnt Is Just what "The House of Deceit" really Is Sinclair as Brieux It Is. or course, no damning criticism to remark that Upton Sinclair made n nov ellzntlon of Brleux's "Damaged Goods" before ho produced thq novel "Sylvia's Marriage" (John Winston, Philadelphia). No man works to hlmBolf nlone. Nor will Mr. Sinclair bo Judged too hardly" for the nature of his theme. Tho world Is not so prudish ns It once was; It has learned much by hard eJvporlence. Mr. .Sinclair has given nmple evldcnco from the dnys Of "The Jungle" onward, that he Is ready to deal straightforwardly nnd sincerely with whatever grist comes to his mill.

A belter writer than Upton Sinclair, ono less Imbued with tho spirit of reform for reform's sake, would have turned out a subtler and a more effective piece of work. Crossed Love "Lady Cassandra," by Mrs. George de Home Valzey (G. p. Putnam's Sons), tell3 the story of a sensitive high-strung woman and a phlegmatic, preoccupied husband, with the Inevltablo consequence In a story, of the wife finding sympathy and love, and receiving both from another man. It Is a wholesome story, nevertheless, for it Is not an erotic love, nor a morbid passion, after a fashion that has seen Its when It is too late, who might have been happy together. The wife returns to her husband, the man to tha girl to whom he Is engaged. Gr zel, who Is the heroine of another novel by Mrs. Valsey. comes ?IZ?UX "Car t0 stePPlnK nto tho leading lady's part In this story. She manages hor own affairs and Lndv Cassandra's, but her heart Is as tender as her head Is sound, and every one rides more smoothly when she somewhat au daclously takes the reins. - i Books oh .mportaht Topics SOCIAL HEREDITY AND SOCIAL EVOLUTION THE OTHER SIDE OF EUGENICS Binding-, cloth.
