Tickets presented by passengers were
carefully scrutinized and then verified by
slips of paper taken from a cubby hole.
A 'Uniformed purser, assisted by the pab
senger manager, received the passengers
as they came forward In line.
After satisfying the purser and pas
senger manager that all was right the
passenger, accompanied by a uniformed
clerk, was escorted to his baggage, and
the baggage was chalked with a secret
mark and carried aboard ship by a lofti
shoreman, Charles P, Sumner, general manager
of the Cunard Company, declared as tha
ship waa sailing;
"The Germans have been seeking to
destroy our trnde for some time, but
never until today have they shown such
an ncttve desire to put ua out of busi
ness. From this time I expect every
Gcrmon method that can bo devised will
be used to keep people from traveling on
our ships.
"The truth Is that the Lusltanla Is the
safest boat on the sea. She la too fast
for any submarine, .No German war ves
sel can get to her or near her. She will
reach Liverpool on schedule tlmo just as
long as we are able to run hr In the
transatlantic trade."
""""MANY FEARBD TUB WORST.
Bucjx remarks as these were repeated
among the passengers and they had the
effect of quieting the fears of some. But
thero were many timid persona whose
fears could not be allayed by optimistic
speeches or cheering prophecies. They
were the ones who looked over the ship's
railings with anxiety pictured on their
faces.
The sailing of the Lusltanla was de
layed by the unusually large number of
passengers and by mall and freight, and
also by the fact that the British Admir
alty at the last moment withdrew the
Anchor Line Cameronla, scheduled to sail
from hero for Glasgow wljh a fair pas
senger list. Tho Admiralty possibly took
heed of tha German Embassy's warning
that Oermanrfvarshlps are abroad for the
purpose of sinking a transatlantic liner
laden with American ammunition.
The Cameronla was ordered to Halifax,
and there. It Is believed, she waa Intended
to take on troops, supplies and ammu
nition for the British Government, and
her ax) passengers were transferred to the
faster Lutltanla Added to the Lusl
tanla'a original list were 61 Canadian wr
contractor.
AMONG THE BOOKS
Galsworthy Splits

The most Important thing nbout "The
Little Man nml Other Satires" (Charles
Scrlbner'n Sons. New York) Is thnt there
in John Galsworthy hns deliberately,
completely, beautifully, split nn Infinitive.
That ono little bit of literary vandalism,
which is only n bnd habit with most of
us, tnkes on Important nnd potent quail
tics when a man of such verbal precise
iipss, of such nn nlmost precious style,
thus gives n sign that he Is, nfter nil. de
ildedli human. If one thing hns clouded
the line qualities nf Galsworthy his sen
sitive Imagination, his quick reaction to
the terrible mornl muddle of the world,
his hnlnnrcd eje for the many sides ot
man's puz7lement If one thing hni
cntised somo of us to forget the Inherent
lightness of his Intuitions nnd Judgments, i
It hns been a feeling thnt ho put too much
trust in the super-literary qunlltles of
iimgunge There wns -omcthlng of tho

wanted ruggedness. Hero Is nn enrnest
vr little one thnt Galsworthy may
somo day write essnys nnd stories ns he
now wrlten drnmntie illnlouue, In the
simple, strong key of everyday.
As for the book Itself, It Is quite ns de.

Itself nnd some nf the best sntlro Gals
worthy hns written. Almost nil of It Is
on tho plane of tho pnfsnges from "In
Thoso Dnjs" which Interlnrd the pnges
of "fraternity."
Thero Is plenty ot varloly within the
metier. Playlets, sketches, stories, cnrl
caturcs nnd essays give us Galsworthy's
vt-ry hitler reflections on tho divorce law
of Knglnnd. chronic unemployment In a
wot Id of plenty, business succc, meiilnl
healing, vaudeville vulgarity, nnd n dozen
more Mii-h matters.
Tho most nstonlshlng satire In the hook

A Novel of Prohibition
Knowledge of Journftllstlo routine In
Washington nnd familiarity with Prohibi
tionists' strongest arguments served as
the groundwork of "Tho Mnn Who For
got," by Jrimes Hay, Jr. (Doubledny, Page
A: Co., Garden City), A story Illumi
nated by the nuthor's fancy rather than
created by his Imagination, It reaches Its
dramatic climax In n picture of a huge
procession of prohibition advocates from
every State of the Union, ndvnnclng on
tho National Capitol lo demand n pro
hibition amendment to the Constitution
of the United States.
Tho story Is that of John Smith, the
man whose zeal and domination make
possible this rndlenl movement. Tho
"love Interest" of the book Is not espe
cially well handled, and Its conclusion Is
obvious almost from the outset. "Chollle
wollle," n newspaper mnn, who Is a
friend nnd Invaluable ally of John Smith,
lives In the book with considerably moro
vividness than does the protagonist
The temperance arguments nro not tho
least Importnnt part of the novel. Such
sentences as these Indicate the "punch"
the reformer puts Into his campaign:
"So much drunkenness Is directly due
tn the Inability of the people to nmuse
themselves!"
"It's tho sickly, burnt-out man who
tries to find falso strength In alcohol. Wo
must havo better general health."

Sherlock Holmes Solves
a Problem in Publishing
"No, my dear Watson," said Sherlock
Holmes, ns his aquiline lingers spun tho
pnges of "The War Terror" nml his still
more aquiline nose dipped Into tho book
which I hnd Just handed him, "No, your
literary training hns misled jou. The
thrends nro not nil In my hands now.
Hut before jou complete your nccount
of this, my latest exploit, I think I shnll
be able to show thnt this Is not a novel."
With his accustomed abandon when
ort the trnll of a mystery, my friend
threw himself nbsorbedly Into the lend
ing of "Tho War Terror," which pro
fesslonnl ccurtesy piompts me to say Is
published by Hearst's International
Library Company, New Tork. No tlngo
of professional Jealousy blighted his en-
thuslnsm ns he raced through the ad
ventures of Crnlg Kennedy ns Mr. Iteeve
has recorded them. An hour by the clock
nnd shag by the pound were scarcely
consumed before Hormes had reached his
decision.
"Just as I thought." he broke out
abruptly, ns ho snwed on his old violin.
"3i5 chapters divided by three equals 12
short stories. Twelve stories out up Into
three parts, the Incisions carefully glued
and sandpapered, make 36 chapters.
A most simple problem. Except that 'The
War Terror" exhausts the war nfter
. three chapter nnd as I said Is no novel,
sour rival's narrative lives up to the im
plication of Its publishers," concluded
tho great detective with blighting irony.
I wondered If my friend would drop
Inspector Lestrange of Scotland Yard n
word to Institute proceedings, nut, with
his characteristic discretion, Holmes said
noimng or wie matter. It was only ten
days later, and quite by accident, that I
learned his decision. As I entered his
I study one afternoon, I heard the hurried
snap of a closed book, nnd thought, I de
tected n fnlnt color nn Holmes' cheek.
Upon his desk Iny a well-thumbed copy
of "The War Terror," together with some
notes of which I could read such frag
ments ns "electio-magnetlc gun
buy ono triple mirror spinthari
scope, selenium cells microphone
electrolytic murder read
Freud on psychnnalysls." (
I have rend "The Wnr Terror." I ap
preciate Holmes' Interest. In fact, I
may go so far as to say I regret that
Crnlg Kennedy hns only a reporter to de
pend upon ns nsfllstant nnd narrator, In
stead of a trained man of science.
Sounds Like Zane Grey
Kqulne fiction has not been entirely
superseded by the motor romances of
the Williamsons. As testimony take
"Hied ot the Desert" (Harper's, New
York), by Marcus Horton, who Is not so
old-fenqloned ns Anna Sewall, author of
"lllnck Ueauty." Thnt venerable classlo
wns once called tho "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
of the horse nnd was fully as propn
gandlstlc and bndly written.
Mr. Horton, however, writes well; bet
ter It seems than cither Miss Scwnll or
Mr.s. Stowo; maybe that ts because he'
writes In the way of our time. Impatient
of the outmoded literary nnd sentimental
conventions of nnothcr day. Ills liero H
n horse, his. locale the desert, nnd his
style hns the sweeping scope nnd surging
color thnt have conferred popularity on
the stories ot Zane Grey. A man nnd a
mold nre of course, Involved In tho ro
ninnce ,of this modern blnck beauty. It's
a sweet love talo the hook contains, ns
well ns a stirring story. Not tho least
merit Is acute Insight Into character ot
the folk of the southwest and faithful
realization of the atmosphere of the
desert.

Everyone fell in love with
Miranda when she first ap
peared in "Marcia Schuyler".
Her naturalness and irre
pressible spirit made all of
us wish that she might some
time have her own romance.
Here it is, and it's a stirring
tale with lively incidents on
every page and Miranda
with her delicious common
sense wit is a joy forever.
This is the kind of story that
brings spring-time to the
heart and inspires old and
young to a more wholesome
outlook on life.

One would have expected the author
of "Tho Harbor" to be a New Yorker by
birth and heritage, Inasmuch ns the book
Is an Intimate study of tho grent metrop
olis. Ernest Toole is not a New Yorker,
but a Chlcagoan, and It wns not until
after his graduation from Trlnceton that
ho first came to New York to live. It Is
not strange, therefore, that he so em
phatically declares that "The Harbor" Is
not autobiography, but fiction.
