i' One eantiot but wonder If Mnxlmo J
', 'Xnfaw'B enlightening book, "Tlio Cn.se for
' 'tlift Flllp!no9,,' would baVe been so generous
lia American Ideals of 1916 bad It been
'"Written after the derent of tbo Clarke
amendment In the House, nuthorUftiB the
President to grant "our WardV cotjiplcte
independence within four years. The author.
n. j'oun 'Filipino educated In American
schools In his native land and living under
Untied States guardianship, claims to vole?
the sentiment of the generation of which ho
Is spokesman. His people, he Fays, will
jiever relinquish tho hope that their country
'lll be free and Independent.
J!r. Kalaw employs the most effective
'form of argument. Ha makes the United
States establish "the caso for the Filipinos."
Ills conclusions are all based upon evidence
submitted by tho Americans themselves,
from Admiral Dewey and President Mr
Klnfoy down to tho sponsors of Philippine In
' dependenco In the present session of Con
tress. Among tho ntntementH which the
- author supports with communications from
Admiral Dewey nnd the then President Is
the assertion that "the acquisition of the
Philippines by the United States was the
most unforeseen event In the history of
American expansion."
The defeat of tho Spanish 'forces In
Manila, Instead of being a mere side Issue,
diverted tho nttcntton of this country from
the main question of freeing Cubit from the
yoke of Spain nnd became, of Itself, tho
most Important Issue of American politics
Mr. Kalaw recalls that, at tho time of the
iBpanlsh-Amerlcnn Wnr, Spain had been
t'beaten so severely by the Filipinos that
only a. smalt strip of land nround Manila
Remained under Its control. In fact, the
aUthor-caya, tho Philippines had won their
lmHpendcnco before America came to their
rescue.
In his plea for Independence Mr Kalaw
indignantly denies that the people are unfit
for"self-governmcnt. Only n few hundred
thousand of the totnl of 10,000,000 of the
Islands are not Christians. The "misrepre
sentation" In which all Filipinos arc
pictured as naked Ingorrutes standing over
v a beheaded corpse Is tho worst form of
libel, the author adds. Here, too, he proves
his case by quotations from the Congres
sional Record and from reports, bonks and
speeches by prominent Americans. Former
President Tnft and former Conini'Mloucr
Worcester are the two main, and the nu-(
thor says, only opponents of Philippine itl-'
dependence on the grounds of unfitness.
Mr. Kalaw Is, secretary to tho nescient
Commissioner, Manuel 1 Quezon, nt Wash
ington. The entire history of the PHIIIppino
question' Is related and appendices contain
the Important ofllclal document and ut
terances bearing upon tho subject.
When Sydney Brooks was about to sail
from New York this spring n friend sent
to him on the BteanipV u small, neatly
wrapped package. Tho guards at the
gangplank held up the messenger and forced
him to take off theiVrappliigs and disclose
the contents. Thpy did not intend to allow
any Infernal machine on board If they could
1reirttuVAt.-rc'hey breathedfreely when they
discovered that there was no dynamlto In
the package. It was simply "We." a book
by Gerald Stanley Lee, fresh from tho
press of Doubleday, Pago & 'Co.,, Garden
City, N. Y. There Is really no dyna
mite In the book. It la a discursive. III di
gested plea for peace to bo brought nbout
and maintained by overcoming evil with
good, Jlr, Leo devotes 711 pages to his
plea when he could have delivered his mes
sage more effectively In 11 pages. Yet those
persons who have I leisure and like to be
amused may find entertainment If net In
struction In reading what ho has to say.
Tho tee devotees, those who regard this
one-tlmo preacher nnd former professor and
present exploiter of his own personality as
the type of personality of humanity In gen
eral, may be edified by the book, hut the
average man of hard sense will feel toward
the suggestions for bringing about universal
peace as the firemen would feel toward the
Interference of a 3-yeat-olil child with their
efforts to put out a great conflagration.
In writing "With tho French In Franco
nnd Saloplca" (Charles Scrlbncr's Sons,
New York), the second of his wnr hooks,
the late Richard Harding Davis showed
the. same skill In selection of topics and
the same facility of expression that marked
all his work, whether fiction or descriptive.
Of particular Interest Is that part of tho
book dealing with the Satpnica campaign,
concerning which probably more misinfor
mation than Information has reached the
outside world. J Mr. Davis throws new light
upon the Balkan situation as It existed at
the time the Allied nations felt compelled
to throw a heavy force Into Macedonia.
It Is, however, tho small Incidents of sol
dier life there und on the French-Flanders
lines, ratjier than" political causes ,and ef
fects, which chiefly Interested the author
and which he, In turn, made so Interesting
for his renders. Details of camp life, of
work and play In the trenches, that other
writers have missed, were seized upon and
presented in that delightful btyle upon
which tho author's fame chiefly rests.
''Rellly's rocket Medical Dictionary
(Peter Uellly. Philadelphia) has proved so
popular at Its small price of SO centB that
a second edition has been necessitated. The
Work was compiled by Thomas Dutton, M,
D., of the University of Durham and mera
'ber of the Itoyal College of Physicians, of
Edlnborough.
The book contains about 200 pages,
slightly larger than pocket size, and defined
alphabetically a wide variety of terms, con
cisely but with full accuracy, so that the
fcook la valuable not merely to the medical
student and practitioner, but to the general
leader, who wishes an Intelligent knowl
edge of such medical terms as come up In
hi dally experience. There are good table
it abbreviation used In prescriptions, etc
weights and measures and remedies for
droning.

WAR-WRITER'S LIFE
IS NOT HAPPY ONE
Stanley Washburn Dodges Out of
Front Trench Just in Time to
Escape Hand Grenades
his way back to his post nt
front, where he Is cot respond-
'London Times, Stanley Wash-
merlc.in. who spent the latter
winter at home in this country
new book, "Victory In Defeat"
Page & Co.), visited the French
conference with certain ofllelals
While on
the Russian
ent for the
burn, an A
part of the
writing his
(Doubleday
front, for a
there.
Mr, Washburn was nil through the Ilusso
Jnpancse war nnd spent many strenuous
months with General N'ogl before Port Ar
thur. From tho beginning of tho war up
until last fall ho was at the Hubsian front
nnd saw nearly every one of tho stupendous
engagements of the Eastern theatre of the
war. Yet tho battlefield of Verdun is the
thing that amazes Mr. Washburn beyond all
measure. In nn unconventional letter to a
friend ho says:
"Wo came over here at the Invitation of
tho French Go-ernment. Had a
most entertaining timo in the Argonne In a
front line trcncli 30 paces from tho Ger
mans. I judiciously evacuated the trench
three minutes beforo they attacked It lth
hand grenades. From a lear trench I
watched them throw bombi Into the one
I Just left, which was very Inspiriting. Then
I went back and sat in a bombproof and
listened to about 1001 shells burst In the
neighborhood Next day I went to Verdun,
which Is an extraordinary place. I've never
seen so many shells In my life. I spent five
hours In the town, with everything up to
22 c's dropping at nbout tho rate of one
every two minutes. I was deeply Impressed.
These big ones arrive with' a sound like th?
Twentieth Century limited passing an open
box car at 100 miles an hour and burst with
a noise like tho end of the universe nnd then
some. A six-story house leaps joyously Into
tho air and then collapses hopelessly Into
Its own cellar. So you can see why I was
Impressed. The French have been extra
ordinary." In view of the tremendous discrepancy
between the number of French nnd Kngllsh
writers of note at the front, Lord Kshcr's
tribute to young Patrick MacGIII. author of
'The Itatplt," "Children of the Dead Hud,"
eta published as a foreword to his new
volume, "Tho Red Horizon" George II. Do
ran Company), Is of special Interest.
"There Is not a young writer, painter or
sculptor of French blood," writes Lord
Esher, "who Is not risking his life for his
country. Can wo mako the same proud
boast? When I recruited you Into tho Lon
don Irish one of those splendid regiments
that Londoj has sent to Sir John French,
himself nn Irishman It was with gratitude
and pride. You had much ti give us. The
rare experiences of your boyhood, your
talent, your brilliant hopes for the future.
Upon all these the western hills and loughs
of your native Donegal seemed to have a
prior claim. But you gave them to Lon
don nnd to our London Territorials. It Is
rh example and a symbol. The London
Irish will be proud of their young artist In
tords, and ho will forever be proud of the
London Irish Regiment, Its deeds ami valor
to which he has dedicated such great gifts.
May God preserve you."
TRAUBEL COMPARED
WITH.WIIITMAN IN
CRITICAL ANALYSIS
Two Bards and Philosophers
Identified With Philadelphia -Summed
Up in Enter
taining Book
ESSAYS AND FICTION
Here Is a' book "Whitman and Trauhel,"
by William Kngllsh Walling (A. & C.
Bonl, N'cw York) that cannot be Ipnorcd.
In the first place. It ought to nppenl pecu
liarly to Philadelphia because It treats of
two men whose names are closely Inter
woen with the life of tho city ; tho bonk
ought to enlist the attention of the literary
world because It Is conceniod with two
gifted writers of distinctive style nnd world
wldo vision ! nnd ngnln. It ought to Interest
nil observers of the trend of things, bo
cauFo It deals with two of mankind's most
noteworthy Interpreters of mankind's own
meaning.
Wnlllng sums up Walt Whltmnn no an
Individualist; Horace Trnubel ho terms a
humanist. Whitman Is tho Idealist ;
Trauhel tho realist. Whltmnn was the
prophet of democracy; Trauhel U Its phi
losopher. Whitman believed In the "Idea"
of the bard; Trnubel standi for tho social
movement of the age. Whitman plnccd his
confidence In tho small property owner as
tho foundation stone on which a new civili
zation wns to bo built ; Trnubel salutes tho
common propcrtylrss man ns tho reck to
which a shaken world tuny cling.
Who wns Whitman'' Wo nil know. Who'
Is Trnubel? It la n commentary on Phila
delphia's. Pennsylvania's, America's con
sciousness that ho must be Identified. As
ho snys of himself, he Is "never named by
those whn make out the lists." For more
than 25 years ho has edited his weekly, tho
Conservator, In this rlty. ami yet. Just as
Philadelphia gao itself little concern nbout
Whitman when he wns n living, breathing
presence in our streets, so It has been large
ly unconscious of Trauhel, but It will not,
be nblo to remain unconscious of him much
longer. Wnlllng, who Is no superficial critic
or Incoherent analyst, calls him the fore
runner of a new literature, anil that Is an
immensely Important thing for u man to bi.
Wnlllng writes entertainingly In a style of
terse Inclslvcness.
The "eternal triangle" Is employed
onco again In Goucrncur Mori Is' latest
nuvel, "Wn Three" (D. Appleton & Co.,
New York), but that fact should not ills
courage any render, however weary ho may
deem himself of this sadly overworked
theme. Impossible ns It mnv sectn, Mr.
Morris has brought about n tenlly original
situation from a hackneyed subject. Not
only does he keep his three principals out
of the divorce court, but He keeps them
out of th miry path that lends to that
tribunal. They skirt Its edge, but never
onco do they set foot In the mud.
Notwithstanding this marked departure
from the ordinary triangle story, Mr. Mor
H has succeeded In making his characters
convincingly real The young wife, with a
penchant for falling In love and falling out
again; the youth who plnjn with edged
tools and cuts himself when he feels most
certain that there Is no danger; the hus
band whose early blindness gives place to
a wisdom worthy of Solomon's all these
seem perfectly natural characters, so skil
fully has tho author drawn them. Of course,
Mr. Morris Is plain spoken sometfmes too
plain spoken. Plnln-spokenncss seems to bo
putt and parcel of all his later work but
his style Is always so charming that one Is
Inclined to forgive) him when ho touches
upon subjects which might better bo ig
nored. To follow tbo life of a Russian boy on
his father's estate. In tho brutally managed
gymnasia and In the i evolutionary circles
of the university. Is fnsclnntiil? enough for
any young American; hut when the author
is a noted revolutionist, nn outlawed noble
living In constant fear of the police for six
years, a prisoner escaped from Siberia and
at tho last an oxllo, still rhorlshlng the
patriotic Ideals which prompted tho daring
actions of his youth, the story of his early
llfo becomes one of absorbing Interest.
Having once embarked upon tho desper
ate adventures of Vladimir do Uogory
Mokrlovltch as told by him In "When I Was
n Hoy In Russia" (Lothrop. Leo & Shepard
Co.), no boy can put the book down until
he rends the last pago and no grown person
ran test vatlslied ultli the tantalizing
glimpse that the author has given of Revo
lutionary Russia.
The style Is simple and readable and the
story Itself u piquant Introduction to tho
spirit of modern Russia.
A story about a boy, If It be tho right
kind of a story, tends to keep tho mind
young, to make the reader feel boyish also
Such a lightsome book is "Cam Clnrke."
by John II. Walsh (Macm'lllan Company,
New York). Cam Is a red-blooded creature
He Is like all real boys of tho Ameilcan
breed. He has his had times and his good
times, his goody-goody spells and his moro
frequent nnd protracted times of mischief
The story Is laid In tho Palouse country of
the West, and throughout It runs n strain
of delicious humor. To lovers of boys
and that means lovers of nil humanity ,
this book can be heartily commended.
"The Golden 'Hope." by Grace Sartwell
Mason (D. Appleton & Co., New York), Is
an excellent talo of tho far West. In this
Btory Hastern settlors In tho West are
thrown against a band of land thieves,
who plot to Irrigate tho surrounding coun
try and turn it to their own advantage. The
story also deals with the fortunes of n
young woman and her unfortunate husband,
who by his wife's devotion becomes a man.
On May 20 Messrs, Henry Holt & Co.
