It Is his latest .book, n climax to the acorn which nre part of his bibliography but those who havo looked at nature through the interpreting vision of ihe engo or Slnbslaes hope It will not be his last. Tet the book has the sense of flruU things about It, or possibly the sense of summa tion, for It combines account of Mr. IJur toughs' keenly observed natunfl phenomena, wltn speculative and metaphysical philos ophizing and essays in literary apprecia tion Thus wo have In 'Under the Apple Trees" a. complox of "Wake Itobln." for nature: "TItne and Chango," for philosophy and "Literary Values" for appreciation and criticism, to mention three of Mr. Bur roughs' major works, Longevity has meant no deterioration In Mr. Burroughs' powers ot thought, obser vation or expression. Still Is his thinking valid, his Beelng understanding, his phrasing powerful and felicitous. The tltlo essay makes the reader agree with those who, aB Mr. Burroughs quaintly observes In Mr preface, want him to stick to nature essays. But thero Is n, fine discussion of spiritual things In "Scientific Faith Onco More," and an admirable plcco of searching criticism in "A Prophet ot the Soul." (the subject, Henri Bergson), tq say nothing of the nuggets of highly-assaying wisdom In "Great Questions In Little," a series of 10 miniature essays, gn such topics as "The Ether," "Early Man." "Astronomic Gran deur," "Limitations of Science" nnd "Evolution." All In all It Is n varied and a noble book, Hon. Joseph II. Choatc. former American Ambassador to the Court of Saint James, tn Introducing Mrs. Humphry Ward's now book, "England's Effort" (Charles Serin tier's Sons, New York), says that readers of it cannot doubt for an Instant England's manful endeavor at this critical point of her history. England, Mr, Choato declares, has put forth efforts worthy of her great traditions and Is Bhowlng that her spirit 1 Invincible nnd her national resources Inexhaustible. Tho no'.cd British novelist has put her I demonstration Into tho form of letters to nn American friend. These cover tho military, munitions, labor, political and other phases of the crisis. The book Is the result of four months' close nnd Inten sive study of the situation In tho great cities of England and lesearch on tho Continent. Mrs. Ward's conclusions are well summed up In the peroration one of her final epistles, as follows: "England will get the men she wants : and labor will be In tno end Just ns determined to get them as nny other section ot tho community. Meanwhllo, abroad, while wo seem, for the moment.

Harding's present-Day China" (The Century Company, New York)) than can be found In most of the nioro pretentious vol umes dealing with the same subject. This "narrative of a nation's advance" Is par ticularly valuable at this time, for It enables the reader to grnsp some part of the sig nificance of Yuan ShlhKal's denth to tho young harassed Republic of China. Yuan, nccordlng tt Mr Harding, was the most cordially hated man In all China. Yet ho was the only person who commanded the ftnnnclal respect of the "Powers." So It was that he was able to .maintain his control over the army, which. In turn, was able to discourage the many attempts at re bellion through south China. Tho chapter on "Leadership nnd Yuan Slilh-Kal" Is a keen nnalysls of the personality nf the man who wns able' to curb his own violently re actionary character In order to hold full sway over tho land. Mr. Harding Is n Journalist. Therefore. his book Is wrlt'on In a stylo that Is freo from tho ambiguous, though "finer," writing ri the so-called authorities. Ho has con sorted with the moli, as well ns with the leaden and with tho rulers. And even from these list he has learned that "the real conflict In China will never again be a racial or provincial conflict; from now on It will be between the class Interests of the whole nation." That It why Chlnn Is rap idly becoming the centre of socialism prop aganda In Asia. Tho Chinese, poor nnd middle class, rapidly being educated In the recently established universities, make so cialism a surprisingly live Issue. The denth of YiianShlh-Knl may help to crystnllJio this sentiment. One other Dolnt of nartlculnr Interest Is that the author boldly prophesies that China will be the cause nnd scene of thq next grent world war, and warns the United States to do Its utmost to aid In the con solidation of China. ... . y-e cannot fc0 the possibility of still greater dangers preparing on the sanio lines ns the present conflict," he writes, "based on the same competition for markets, tho same world-end International rivalry. In a world that can, apparently, learn no lessons from Its own history. But so far as we can, with a Just regard for our own destiny stand for a foreign policy based on conditions, outside our own country, wo should guard, 'and guard Jealously, whatever opportunities wo navo or aiding In the consolidation of China tho only possible and courageous policy which can In nny way mlnlmlzo the dan ger of a. world v.rr with tlili nation's eco nomic power as Its stake. China's future Is not yet merely a Japanese question, but we can only prevent It becoming a Japanese question by making It a world question. What has followed tho partition of Turkey has shown clearly what vould. In even grenter degree, follow cither tho partition of China or Its absorption or control by one Power. Tho upbuilding of China Is vltnl to tho peace of the world." SCENARIO DEPARTMENT LESSON 7 Heart Interest er'a MnllT Scenario Lea.nna begun, June S.

(Charles Scrlbner'a Sons, New York.) Whatever may have been the motif of tho author, Jesso Lynch Wllllnins. there -will be scant doubt In the minds of most readers that this novelette Is n de fense of tho divorce evil, even though It Is ?.0t i'JSS.1 ,0 say ,hat uncler his comedy Mr, Williams, remembered for a number of flno novels nnd short stories, is conducting ft propaganda for easy loosening of the marriage bonds. To those, nnd thev nr many, to whom divorce is reprehensible on account of religious ban or moral scruples, pr even for social reasons, the book, brightly written as It Is, must create offense. Tho plot deals with two married couples who fc ,'er yeti"8 of marital harmony let the rift widen In the lute and make mute the music of Hymen. Boldly, even brazenly, they open new courtships with the objects of nf lection of pre-nuptial days and contract new engagements. It appears to us that Mr. "Williams was really tickled by the incon gruities possible to Buch a collocation of romance and had no motive of urging a campaign or proving a thesis. But mar riage Is too sacred a matter to be made the subject of triviality or empty Jest. .In 'Jhf Cathedral Singer'' (Century Co., Jew York) James Lane Allen has written ft stralghtout piece of fiction, something longer and more substantial than a short biujjt mm ye. not prolonged to the novelette stage. Of course, mere length,. Is not the determining norm of fiction, either nua short story or qua novel. Despite its directness of story the story of a mother who, to for ward her little boy's musical education, poses as a model, and after the accident that ends the promise of his career, goes back tq tho ateliers without tho transngur In joy of hops fulfilled on her face, but with the look of faith there there Is some thing allegorical or symbolical about It, The author idealizes human sympathy and Jwman aspiration. Above all the human emptloha and events looms up the great Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, for Mr. Allen casta his story In the city of his adoption, abandoning his beloved Kentucky locate and atmosphere. But all his old oi mooa ana distinction of style abide. fc- If Mnry Roberts Illnehart takes another trip through Glacier Park before sho writes her next book no matter on what subject sho ought to ncqulrc enough Inspiration to send her name down the ages along with tho other Immortals of literature At least, one is" tempted to make this prediction nfter reading her delightful, refreshing little vol ume, "Through Glacier Park ; the Log of a Trip With Howard Eaton" (llouirhlon Mif flin Company. Now York and Boston), Tho author has written her impressions of tho inp tnrougn tno Montana reserve with a breezy, personal touch that makes one want to take the next train West. A collection of short stories of unusual merit Is contained In the volume published under the title 'Tho neal Motive" (Henry Holt & Co., New York). Dorothy Canfleld, the author, has already won many ntl mlrers becatiso of her remarkable technique nnd charming style, as evidenced In 'The Bent Twig" and "Hlllsboro People." All things considered, however, she never did better work than this. The stories are varied In theme and style. While pathos Is the distinguishing note of the majority, the author also displays herself as a satirist of no mean skill. Included with tho stories are occasional verses by Sarah N Cleg- norn. wnicn are uom melodious und of elevated thought. Before the reader even opens the covers of Beulah Marie Dlxs new book, "The Battle Months of George Daurella" (Duf fleld & Co., New York), he is assured by the publishers that It Is "not a war story." Nevertheless, the whole theme Is war. the setting Is war, the hero is a young soldier whose experiences convince him of the horrors of war-rrln short, If this isn't one, "there ain't no such a thing" ns a war story. It Is true that the author may not have written tho book with any other pur pose than to provide an entertaining romance: but it Is a war story none the less, and a very good one, as tales of tho great European conflict go. George Dau rella. lieutenant of the Itoyal Light Horse, Is a likable sort of a chap even nt the start, when he regards war as play and seems calloused to the suffering It brings; later on. as his eyes are opened to the true char acter of this "play," he becomes even more likable, while his adventures at the front and as a prisoner In the hands of Infuriated peasants are truly diverting.

Tho New York Fdltor and Publisher has recently published tho following letter from Lord Northcllffe: Tho Kdltor nnd Publisher You nsk me for evidence that our censorship keepi peo ple In the United States In Ignorance of tho war.

I do not think thero nro nny greater tleeds of heroism In the narratives of cither tho British or Ameri can navy than thnso connected with the extrnni dlnary. speedy, daring and Ingenious methods suddenly devised by our navy to deal with this entirely now kind of war fare. Though I could tell n score of stor ies of wonderful Interest, I nm not allowed to do so. Before tho Germans found out how we did these things one could quite underrtnnd the cjnsor's ruling. Now that they know the silence Imposed upon us Is merely Indicative of the lack of Imagina tion with which this war Is being directed by our Oo eminent. All America knows anil admires, as do I.ngllsh people, the Incident of the "Appam." Yet wo havo "Appam" stories every day of which not one word Is ever heard. As with the sea wnr, so with the land war. Tho story of tho British, Canadian, Australian nnd New Zealand sides of this war Is a sealed book to tho world. On the whole, the Canadians havo had the best publicity, but not nearly so much ns they tlescrve. Very truly yours, NOBTHCLIFFK. February 25, 1010. PS. Tho very bes-t book about the war.

This Is all mechanical with the exception of creating n plot. If this were all that there Is to h scenario ecry one would 'be nn expert photoplay writer. For tunately for those who make their lllng by writing scenarios, however, there Is more to It than appears on the surface. Continuity Is something which Is easily ncquircti nna prnctlce will make 11 periect. Story development ns far as laying out scenes Is concerned also Is comparatively simple. The dllllculty lies In putting a. body, a substance, Into scenes nnd subtitles. It lias been sold that a man need but write heart Interest dramas to have his wares In demand. This Is largely true. We know one young lady who has a big market for all she writes. She Is able to weave a Btory with that Intangible some thing cnlled heart Interest securely caught In Its threads. Heart Interest What Is It? Pathos Is not heart Interest, any more than bathos. So many writers seem to think they have a heart Interest story if one of their characters weeps like Nlobe through all the five reels. This Is not true. There Is no formula, there Is no set rule by which wo can mako our readers "heart Interest" writers. Heart Interest Is laughter and ngnln It Is tenrs: It is a mixture of both, nnd yet It Is neither. It Is tho essence, tho soul of the story. We believe that tho secret of writing heart Interest stories comes rather In tho contrast of smiles and tenrs. Our emotions nre stirred by the most Insignificant touches In n drama, things which seem ntmost apart fioin the story Itself, things put In to crc ato ntmosphore. A little girl begging for nlms Is n touching sight, as wo realize and appreciate subconsciously that BUch people exist. . that the home of our hero was in ' the small towns, outside New lork city, such ns New nbchelle. White Plains or Yonkers. The boy In the story went to school nt some college In Conectlcut nnd our hero ne llxled In New York city. It was a olfflcult matter to place these characters so tnat every or seeing the picture would realize where it wns located. We had to create the right atmosphere of location. Naturally once your characters are Intro duced nnd they have received the proper iMfliM.nf tn (tt.A thAm ntmnsnhere. ana your location has been thoroughly estab lished, you nre not going to have the op portunity for so much henrt Interest ns you did at first unless your story Is decidedly a heart Interest Btory. The story of a little girl In the slums, who Is continually doing good for others nnd Into whose life comes a big dramatic mo ment In which she unselfishly sacrifices her self nnd her happiness to reap tho reward when It Is least expected. Is a constant nppent, no matter In what form It appears, Here Is a part for comedy and pathos, with a smile nnd tenr to chase each other In rapid succession. Tho biggest grip on tho heart strings of the audience Is always the tear that fot I6ws a laugh, and the audience will always laugh at the smile that follows saoness. They are hungry for tho contrast and wel come, n chnnce to laugh Unfortunately, stories of this description are very rare. Tho subject has Its varia tions, but always back of it lies the theme of sacrifice. When wo remove the element of childhood from It, tho theme rises to moro drnmntlo moments. big in itself, but don't forget the we fish nnd Ihe sdnkeh shins.

This is a story of India, well written and of real power, with a remarkably dramatic climax, It's a pity, however, that the au thor has not introduced more sympathetic characters. With the single exception of the "Dakktar Sahib," there Is not one of them, man or woman, calculated to win tho reader's regard. And even the hero leaves some things to be desired.

In n recent Metro picture entitled "The Bigger Man" tho producer showed a man talking to n bonrd of directors. This man contrasted the conditions of tho poor nnd the rich. The scene dissolves out, showing tcp. little Hands reaching up for a loaf of nrenci, another dissolve shows n mother at tempting to split tho loaf among five hun gry children. Krom there the scene dissolved back to the man tnlklng nnd out again nnd Into n fashionable restaurant with a beautifully gowned woman feeding sweetmeats to n Pomeranian doc. seated In a chnlr h.-ll the table. Tho situation gripped tho audi ence. That one scene raised tho play to tho greatest heights and crcnted a depth of feeling such as a hundred leaders or subtitles could never have accomplished. Henrt Interest is not phslcnl nny more than It Is mental; It Is almost spiritual. It Is the crystallizing of the finer emotions which Ho deep rooted In nil of us. When wo talk of atmosphere we arc necessarily referring to ono of tho ndjunct.i of heart Interest. In order to devclon at mosphere wo nre compelled to draw n sharp distinction between our characters. Wo havo a hero and a villain, a good woman and n bad woman. In other words we havo contrast. Whenever theso characters clash we aro developing heart Interest. Wo must excite the audience's sympathy for our heroine nnd their hatred for our villain. We get bathos If wo carry it too fnr. If u woman Is perfectly willing to lie down nnd allow a man to walk up and down her frame at ench nnd every oppor tunity, wo soon become disgusted with her lack of spirit. If tho onion magnate with his millions of dollars orders somo "poor man to jail who blocks his path a certain amount of sympathy Is developed If wo repeat this Incident a number of times In various forms we don't creato any Impres sion of greater strength. We aro merely telling something that Is unnecessary, In other words overstating oui case. Atmosphere Is Intangible. Personality is ns dllllcult to depict on the screen ns on the htage. Our characters must necpRs.-iriiv to overdrawn. At the same time with tho newer any in motion pictures comes a 'de mand for real, live, human characters, flesh and blood people, such as wo all know and meet every day. It Is Jiccess.iry to creato n living atmos phere; to vivify the surroundings In which jour characters live and move. In a recent story wo attempted to visualize tho locale of our scenario, and came to the conclusion The grown person can take care of hltri self, but the child Is helpless. It Is only when the child has grown old nnd becomes helpless again that the same appeal can be mnde. Bare, Indeed, Is the henrt Interest story In which neither children nor old people figure. The bigger things In life come when Wo are mature, nnd the sentiments expressed In childhood, the h6nrtnchcs, tho fears, the hopes, unless deftly handled, do not ring true. Tho clement of helplessness Is- lack ing. But we don't need to confine ourselves to heart-Interest stories. Heart Interest can be developed In all drnmas and should bo, as wo havo pointed out, to glvo our characters atmosphere, Thero Is nt least ono producer who brings a child Into all his plays. If such Is pos sible. He appreciates tho tremendous ap peal of children to every one's sympathies. They never fall to make good, and their prcsenco In tho cast gives the play sub stance. Personally, wo think writing children Into a play to obtain this appeal, when tho chil dren nre unnecessary to the story, Is a confession of weakness in the story itself. In order to havo a big play In every sense of the word the story must bo de veloped In a big way. Tho meeting of two diameters In your play Is either Important or the sceno is unnecesnry. If a man Is to deliver a note t another man the manual delivery of the note should be ac companied by somo action devised by the Ingenuity of tho scenario writer to give tho scone character. By this wo don't Intend tn ennvv thn Idea that tho minor Incidents should ever run away with tho story. The ocean con tains a multitude of things, but we never think of tho ocean as weeds, or fish, or sunken ships. The ocean Is too big In Itself for another definition.
