AMONG THE
America Inspected
But Not Passed
EnSIIy Uie best test of n writer's mrnlnt
calibre la to get him dolnjr travel sketches.
1'Urn n rlart loose on some other country
Hid tit way In' looks at It, the tlilnss
ho reports hint falls to report, place the
man pretty accurately as a thinking artist
of rt dlllMantr- ,
When Arnold Bennett vsaw Amerlcn
rrotn a.' Pullman birth ho produced a ser
ies o brilliant sketches ot buildings nnd
subways and clubs, but not tho least re
flection. Incidentally, ot the sort ot race
that lived In them. When George Bir
mingham visited us ho turned out a
humbler book of more placid but not nn-oplnlon.ttr-tl
Impressions. Wells, on the
other hand nnS not on a slahtscelntr
tour, he saw n country ond a people and
tried to Interpret them. The same spirit
distinguishes O. Lowes Dickinson's vital
little volume on Tndla, China, Japan and
America, "Appearances" (Doublcday,
Page, Garden City. N. YO.
Mr. Dickinson has taken tho spiritual
gauge of tho four countries and the re
flection ot th'a l nrt. The ,tvora?r Amor
Jean Is not expected to cntov t'ie verdlrt,
for It Is Btrongly unfavorable to our na
tion. The author finds n vorv nan1 ' -trast
between the East or contemplation
and the West of action. His keenest ad
miration goes to China, with Its humanity
as well as Its art and philosophy, while ho
still Btonds temperamentally by his Euro
pean allegiance. Ajrcrlca, however, as
tho epitome ot tho West heedlcs force
comes In for a vituperation beside which
his contempt for the England of "twaddle
nnd tea, after tennis," seems mild. Hpro
Is Mr, Dickinson's epitome ot tho Amer
ican! contemptuous of Ideas, but
timorous of devices, valuing nothing
but success, recognizing nothing but
tho actual. Man in the concrete, un
disturbed spiritual life, the master of
methods and the slave of things, and
therefore the conqueror of tho world,
the unquestioning, tho undoubtlng,
tho child with the muscles of a man,
tho European strlpt baro and shown
for what he Is, a predatory, unroflect
lng naive, precociously accomplished
brute.
It Is tho Infirmity of human nature
never to recognize Its portrait. And there
sire manifest exaggerations In Mr. Dick
inson's spiritual estimate, just as thcro
Is truth In tho following estimate of
(arts:
In no civilization except Japan Is
I labor legislation so undeveloped as In
Bb me oinies; in uunu ia ,iv,,vi -
K controlled, In none Is justice so open
ly prostituted 10 weniui.
But It Is to be said in extenuation In
deed, the author remarks In his prefaco
that ho wrote these lexers in 1, when
"social Justice" had not yet Invaded po
litical verbiage. Mr. Dickinson W tho
first to admit that It may be darkest be
fore dawn, and to see a futurorfor the
art and spirit of America when we have
solved tho economic and social problems
with which we labor.
A Mystic Novel of Reality
The land of dream fancies seems a
strange setting for a modern novel. But
John Trcvena In his "Sleeping Waters"
(Mitchell Kennerly, N. Y ) sends his hero
to such a land where there Is a stream
of forgetfulness which cures all Ills.
John Anger, a parish priest in the slums
of London, leaves his work to seek new
health among the bracken and moors and
to find the sleeping waters. The story
tells us of his strange adventures In
these regions; of his awakening to tho
love of woman; and finally of his return
to real life' -In which the dreams he has
been living reveal themselves. Ho dis
covers that his power over his love, Pe
tronel, the spirit of tho moor, is but a
dream; and that a murder which Ire com
mitted under tho lnnuence or me gin
but a. flight of the imagination.
Folklore and myth are mingled In
his strange novel and tho life of country
people. Isolated from civilization, is por
trayed with no small skill. There Is an
element of realism In tho characteriza
tion, which, though not strong, Is curious
and Interesting. Unlike most other mod
ern novelists, Trevena Is full of the mys
tical, but a Character like John Anger
might exist In the world and his experi
ences In the book might have similar
counterparts, even without "tho sleeping
waters." Mystical description, not with
out poetry, such as we And In Synge
and Yeates, Is prominent throughout
the book. But It Is a question whether
the novel Is strong enough In any of Its
component parts plot, characterization,
description or mysticism to stand the
ritlclsm of this age of specialization.
Wedekind in English
America Is slowly making the acquaint
ance of that unique German dramatist,
Frank Wedekind. The latest play to be
translated. "Erdgelst" (Alfred arid
Charles Bonl, N. Y.). will probably whet
Interest In the man, though hardly satisfy
It.
The translation by Samuel A. Eliot, Jr.,
Is both excellent and Unsatisfactory.
Being the work of a -"playwright, Its
speeches have movement; being the work
of a scholar also, It Is weighted down
with such crippling literalisms as trans
lating1 the word "doch" as "Just."
The play itself records the disastrous
effect on sundry gentlemen of Intimacy
with a certain Lulu, She Is a cataclysmic
figure of sin vital, entrancing and fatal.
Three of the four acts bring death to the
victims that succeed one another as her
husband. Thero Is dramatic force, as
well as the power of terror. In each of
these deaths, but back of it there Is no
force of Ideas, no reflection on Ufa to
tasks the play really palatable.
A Curious Peace Plan
Every Jlttle author has a peace plan of
bis own these days. James Howard
Kehler's Is unique. Mitchell Kennerley
has made a brief little volume of It by
reprinting the editorial comment of the
forum which accompanied "An Open
Letter to the Nation With Regard to a
Peace Plan," when It appeared In that
publication.
Mr. Herder's proposition Is admittedly
"nqnpollUcal and noncontroverslal," for
It la entirely a matter of psychology. It
proposes to change the name of the War
department to the Peace Department,
n4 generally to substitute V" " '
"Ofcaca " for every mention 01 "war- ia .
public documents or onces, 'n. .,'

get serious consideration, there Is no
dcnjlng the advantage that might result
If army oftlcers could be made to think
of themselves as preservers of the penco

more profitable mental labors.
Fighting in Flanders
The dykes have been cut and the flood
of war literature Is rolling In on American
readers. The prospect would not bo par
ticularly dlMiuleting if all the correspond
ents who have been in the field nnd are
now engnged In reviewing and rovainplng
their campaign experiences could bo ex
pected to wiito their stories with the same
simple directness and force that K. Alex
ander Powell employs In his book, "Fight
ing In Flanders" (New York, Charles
Scrlbner's Sons). Mr. Powell, who went
to Belgium soon after the outbte.ik ot the
nor, makca no pretension to writing a
war history, but contents himself with a
narrative of his own experiences up to tho
time of the fall of Antwerp. He admits
that he Is now thoroughly pro-Belgian,
but protests that he went to the front
with an open mind and became a parti
san only after witnessing the destruction
wrought at Louvnln, Aerschot, Termondo
and other Belgian towns.
While Mr. Powell's book Is frankly but
a personal narrative. It Is also the narra
tive of tho remarkable and kprlghtly ad
ventures of Donals Thompson, a llttlo
Kansas photographer. Thompson went to
war with two pocket handkerchiefs, a
tooth brush and thiee cameras; ho was
arrested no less than eight times before
arriving at tho French front, but his per
sistence won and finally we see him bo
well established in the good graces of
German commanders that ho was priv
ileged to stop army corps on the march
and direct tho movements of Meld bat
teries for the solo purpose of making
snapshots. "Fighting In Flanders" would
be entertaining without Thompson; with
him. It is a joy and delight.
A New Sort of Confession
"The Other Kind ot Girl" (W. B.
Huebsch, New York) adds another auto
biography to the unlimited number. It
does not bear comparison with that ot
Benjamin Franklin and Its circulation will
be much smaller. But It tells a story of
tho life of one of the so-called "fallen"
women, who seldom reveal their lives to
the public. Written anonymously. It Is
quite evidently truthful without being dra
matic, either in style or treatment. Tho
author has no desire to depict more hor
rors than are necessary, but she leaves
nothing to the imagination. Step by step
she relates the hard truths that brougln
her from the careless nastlncss of chil
dren to the life on the street, in which
'body and soul nre rented to tho highest
bidder. And thus the ball keeps rolling.
The absence of any attempt at literary
expression makes the book more human
and more forceful. It speaks plain, hard
truths, from the tragedy of Ignorance,
duo to stupid parents, to the wickedness
ot a society which allows such degrada
tion and misery to exist No ono would
read It for Joy or comfort. But If the
author does no more good than to arouse
her smugly protected sisters to a con
sciousness of her existence, Bho deserves
at least some attention from thoughtful
people.
"King George of Greece"
The romantic life story of Prince Wil
liam of Denmark, who became King
George of Greece, is told in Interesting
fashion In "The Life of King George of
Greece" (McBrlde, Nast & Co., New
York), by Captain Walter Christmas, a
captain In the Danish Navy, from Inti
mate knowledge gained from frequent
vijjts to Greece on naval duties and
Anally as a volunteer In the war with
Turkey.
In Its 400 pages the book describes the
bitter disappointments and national dis
asters which King George underwent In
spite of his BO years" of close and en
thusiastic agreement with his people,
disasters that ended with his death at
the hands of a Turkish assassin.
While the volume Is a 'biography of
King? George, the author's graphic chap
ters on the Oreco-Turklsh War, the Crisis
of 1909 and the Balkan War throw con
siderable light on the situation In the
Balkan States' and are a valuable con
tribution to the military and diplomatic
history of the Greek nation.
Conditions In Greece during the reign
of King Otho, a Bavarian, and predeces
sor of King George, who was forced to
leave the country on October 12, 3863, and
take refuge on his yacht at a time of
revolution, are related by the Danish
Captain, who first met the King while
aboard a Danish ship visiting the land of
the Hellenes.
Captain Christmas' "Life 'of King
George" Is translated from the Danish
by A. G. Chater and is beautifully Illus
trated with photographs taken by II, M.
Queen Alexandra and others.

Barry Pain at His Best
"Stories In Grey," a collection of short
Inles and sketches by Barry Pain (F, A.
Stokes, New York,), has a distinctly twi
light atmosphere with only occasional
gleams of sun and color to pierce the
monotony and give tho book contrasts.
The stories present an array of Interest
ing types, people ou know, In all kinds
of situations, some of them weird nnd
horrible, others merely commonplace
These commonplaco people In common
place situations are apparently favorites
of Mr. Pain, who enjoys: the Wells device
of showing life In the bitter real through
the strange quirk of some little Inconse
quent mind, or depleting cold horror
through the whim of a lespectably dingy
solicitor,
Tho author shows Interesting generali
ties of life and character through an Ir
responsible, unscrupulous hypnotist, sev
eral spectacled maiden ladles, a strug
gling. Ineffectual Journalist, even nn Ig
norant, placid housewife, nnd seems to
reach the height of his Ironical effort by
causing a neat, timid old lady to leave
her neat little house ono morning with tho
charitable Intent of relieving her sup
pliants by feeding thorn deadly poison
In the form of sweetmeats,
sntti" of llio grev stories nre not bo
shadowy grey as others. There Is a bit of
gold hero and there, where a love ele
ment creeps In: and there Is nn Instant's
glow from the cream of the milk of hu
man kindness. All of tho stories are told
In short, simple sentences, In a stjlo
technically Interesting and with a certain
touch of humorous Irony that makes It
seem not too far-fetched to qualify some
of the stories ns Iron-grey. None of tho
stories falls short of a certain compelling
Interest, but the volume, "Stories In
Grey," can hardly bo deemed significant.
For Stamp Collectors
Douglas B. Armstrong's comprehensive
philatelic work, entitled "The Boys' Book
of Stomp Collecting" (Grant Richards,
Ltd., London), Is a treatise which far
oversteps tho bounds of Its title. Tho
book Is obviously wrlten by an expert.
It essavs to be a book for tho use of
the boj who Is beginning his stamp-col-
Icctlng career, yet In It may bo found
I data pertaining to stamps nnd the art
ul cuiiiruuii vviiiuu will ua lilumpcns.luie
to tho man who has made a study of
stamp collecting for years.
i The book Is profusely Illustrated. These
j Illustrations are giouped In such a way
that the Interest of tho non-collector Is
held ns well ns the prospective collector
or the expert.
Beginning with a review of the history
of the postage stamp, Mr. Armstrong's
book goes through the whole category of
stamp history. He gives a full account
of tho postage methods, stamp manu
facture and designs of the leading coun
tries of tho world. Ills illustrations and
explanations of foreign parcel post
stamps are particularly interesting at this
time when the United States is in Its
infancj ns a parcel post agent.
Every collector would do well not only
to read Mr. Armstrong's book, but would
be vastly benefited by having a volume
at hand for reference. This book ranks
with Scott's annual catalogue as a val
uable asset to the collector.
The Modern Crochet Book
If there Is a fondness for lace work In
dress trimmings, underwear and house
hold linens, "The Modern Crochet Book"
Stol.es, New Ydrk) will be a temptation
to those Ignorant in the technique of cro
cheting. For the experienced hand It will
bo useful, to say tho least. For the lit
tle book pictures the most Interesting
and novel patterns In all forms of cro
cheting, and also gives detailed descrip
tions of how to produce the realities. As
with most technical books, a layman will
find It somewhat unintelligible.
Barrie Out of His Depth
England has few more sensitive artists
than J. M. Barrie; none with such feel
ing for the sentimental values of life.
Wherefore, It was hardly a surprise to
readers when ho turned out so obviously
and commonplace a playlet as "Der Tag"
(Scrlbner's, N. Y.). Its feeling Is
right, but In the other qualities that
mako a play action and dialogue "Der
Tag" Is a hopeless case of overreaching.
The plot has no perceptible dramatic
movement, Just talk. It Is even dlfllcult
to discover how the destruction of Lou
valn can take place between the peace
of the beginning of the play and the
appearanco of accusing "Culture" at the
end. The languago Is stiff Instead of dig
nified, labored when It should burn with
passion. It might be written In contem
porary blank verse.
Proving the Prophets
In a clean-cut discourse "The Prophet
and His Problems" (Scrlbner's, N. Y.),
tears the veil of mystery from tho ancient
prophet and examines bis literature as
the writings of a human being a man
among men. J. Jt. Bowls Smith ex
plains Jihe points of similarity and dif
ference in the prophetic products of the
ancient lands. It Is shown that prophecy
was not restricted to Israel, but that In
Babylonia, Assyria, Phoenecla, Syria and
Egjpt systems ot prophetic necromancy,
sorcery and magic existed before the
Hebrew prophet attained the heights
which ho reached as the champion of the
poor, the Judge of his generation and the
messenger of God. The relations between
the prophet and the State and the In
dividual are admirably traced.

CITY'S FAME WILL BE

A movement to advertise this city ns
the pre-eminent producer ot "world-sclt-ere"
In America Is sponsored by tho lead
ing local business and trade bodies. The
slogan of the campaign will be "Philadel
phia, tho lending American producer of
world-sellers," and the keynoto of the
movement will 1e to ndvcrtlse Philadel
phia by advertising the principal articles
made hero.
The co-operation of many of the leading
representatives of Philadelphia's manu
facturing Interests hns been pledged, and
within a few weeks plans will be com
pleted for giving this city world-wide
fame for goods known the world over.
but not generally known as Philadelphia
goods. It will bo shown that the sun
never sols on Philadelphia-made prod
ucts. And what Is even more signifi
cant, It will be shown by statistics that
CO per cent, of all the manufactured
nrtlclcs exported from the United States
to Europe ore made here.
Favored by geographical location nnd
natural resources, Philadelphia early be
came tho pioneer In many Industries, but
It Is felt thnt only Phlladelphlans realize
this. Tho aim of tho campaign will be
to have the whole world know It, too. At
Jie present time In many lines of Indus
try Philadelphia leads not only America,
but Europe.
With tho world-wldo disturbance In In
dustrial and trade conditions on account
ot tho European war, tho present Is
regarded by tho business leaders ns tho
most logical time to further a campaign
of this sort. With both South America
nnd Europo calling for goods, the world
Is looking to America, men of business
say. And for this reason now Is the time
to publish tha fame of Philadelphia
broadcast.
Coincident with the Inauguration of this
campaign the plan of consolidating all
the trade bodleo of tho city, which was
originally suggested by Alba B. Johnson,
president of tho Baldwin Locomotive
Works, will be revived. Tho proposal has
already been given consideration by the
Board of Trade, the Chamber of Com
merce, the Merchants and Manufacturers'
Association and other organizations, and
it will be urged that the time la now
ripe for definite action.
Whether or not tho world knows It
now the fact will be published that Phila
delphia already Is famous for Its loco
motlvo woiks, Its car works, Its hat
manufactories, Its carpet mills, its leather
goocta. Its saws and one thing, which
even now Is recognized the world over,
Its shipyards.
In discussing tho movement, J. Howell
Cummlngs, president of tho John B. Stet
son hat manufacturing company, said:
"I think the manufacturing Interests of
the city of Philadelphia are second to
none In the country. I nm very much in
favor of advertising Philadelphia all over
tho world by advertising her industries
In every legitimate way."
"Philadelphia Is the world's greatest
workshop," declared N. B. Kelly, sec
retary of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Of all the manufactured articles ex
ported to Europo from the United States
60 per cent, are manufactured In Phila
delphia. As a textile manufacturing city
we rank second to none."
Nathan T. Folwell declared himself
heartily In sympathy with the movement.
It will be tho aim ot the movement to
have the word "Philadelphia" stand the
world over as synonymous with certain
leading articles of trade. "Made In Phila
delphia" will be the trade mark.
CONTRACT FOR FREIGHTERS
Two Big Carrying Vessels to Be Built
on Delaware.
Two ot the largest freight steamships

The New York Shipbuilding Company
Bias built smaller craft for the Coastwise

given such satisfaction that the company
awarded the contract without asking
other shipyards to bid on the work.

A tender, patriotic little sfory of the war,
and the cottage homes of England, and the
wives who are left behind. A glimpse is
given of what a woman undergoes while .the
husband is in the field and of her subordina
tion, though not without many a tug at the
heart strings, of self to country.
