WAR POSSIBILITY GIVES
'BRITLING' NEW MEANING
Wells's Tremendously Successful
Novel Has Bigger Message by
Virtue of Break With Germany
The llternry editor's confidence In popu
lar tnsto got a big boost when n man In
closo touch with New York publishing cir
cled told him that It. U. VvV.Ks newest
novel, "Mr. Brltllng Sees It Through," luis
already reached n circulation close to
130,000 copies It iy not his best novel. It
hasn't the breadth of vllon of "The" New
Mnchlnvelll" or the rich senso of character
that fills "Tonobungay." Hut It Is fine,
sensitive, sincere. It Is the personal ex
pression of how the war has touched ono
of Knglnnd's outstanding writers and think
ers. Tho author chose to call hlm "Mr.
Brltllng," but when ho tnrks of the "In
vlnclblo hopefulness of his sanguine tem
perament" ho describes II. U. Weill ns no
critic has jet done. The Importanco of
this Is not nlonc tho Importance of Wclln
and his mind, though tlut counts mightily
In the worth of tho book. This bit of
autobiography takes on qualltlc.1 of per
sonal pathos which touch ns decr-'y ns
nnjthlng In Mr. Wells's other novels. No
student of bin work, both fictional nnd so
ciological, can mls't tho sense of tho nuthor's
tragic disillusionment in tho sentence np
pllcd lo his leading character: "Ho remem
bered, as one remembers the dnad, dreams
he had once dreamt of tho grrnt cities, tho
splendid freedoms, of u coming age, of mar
velous enlargements of human faculty, of a
coming science that would bo light and of
ntt that could bo power."
It Is good that America Is reading "Mr.
Brltllng" so widely ut the present time,
when war may Mi Ike across tho Atlantic.
Wo feel, as Mr Brltllng felt before August,
1014. that "nothing can change very fundamental-
any mote It seems Incredible thnt
anything wo can do will ever smash tho
system " And yet today "this war Is pound
ing through Km ope. smashing up homes,
dispersing nnd mixing homes It
Is killing .voutig men by tho million, altering
the proportions of the sexes for si generation,
bringing women Into business and ofllce and
and Industry, deetioylng the accumulated
wealth that kept so many of them In rellned
Idleness, Hooding tho world with strange
doubts nnd novel Ideas."
We havo stood usldo thus far. We have
watched Kuropo made over past recogni
tion Wo have ourselves received only nn
Impetus to more wealth, greater luxury.
How will wo handle these new problems
of Kurope's, which will now bo ouis? Where
will wo find writers who will put down
America nnd America's purposes "ns
straight as her gun lire, ns hone-illy a" tho
steering of her shlp"." Brltllng hoped to
do It for England Wells certainly has
done ho.
War at First Hand
A KOLDIEB nr Lirn By Hush il Pellncourt.
Thy MacMlllan Ccmpnny, New York.
Thero nro snmo recent books which aro
going to "do their bit" In preventing fu
ture wars. One of these ls"Tho Back
wash of tho War," by KUen LaMott, the
Baltimore woman who caught war led
handed wlillo a nurse, In n, French war
hospital. If everyone read KUen LaMott
war would die. If evcryono followed up
Kllon LaMott with Hugh da Scllncourt's
"A Soldier of Life," war never would ba
resurrected.
The author paints what war means to
the individual. Mr. Sellncourt gets be
hind the battles. Ho deals with war's after
effects. Kor his themo ho takes nn Indi
vidual case, that of James Wood, who
comes back crippled from tho front.
Crippled, that's not so bad ; other's lost
legs and arms nnd eyes, others didn't como
back, but got wooden crosses as tho marks
of their eternnl homes.
Jimmy Wood brought homo hnlluclna
t'ons, hallucinations caused by his war
shattered nerves. The tale of his lovo
affair, of tho peculiar experiences which ho
had which served to bring war scenes
vividly before hlm again, of tho fight he
waged against Insanity and his triumph, all
this Is told with power. "A Soldier of
Life" might bo called a novel of thought,
keenly analytical und one In which the
"human Interest" never lags.

Feminists should read "Keglmcnt of
Women." So should nntl-femlnlsts. W. L.
Gcorgo should vvrlto this review. Probably
Cieorgo will comment later from his war
lorn Kngland. And If tho feminist fight
glows bitterer there Is no doubt that
"lteglment of Women" will bo ground for
tho battle of opposing opinions.
Tho book gets Its title fiom John Knox's
"First blast of tho trumpet against tho
Monstrous lteglment of Women," In which
ho says:
The monstrous empire of a cruell woman
h know to lie the onllo occaelon of all thena
miseries und vet with etlenie we passe tho
time as thouzh the mater Old nothlnge
apperteln to us.
Tho talo Is of a clash of wills. Alwynne
Durand, confiding, cheerful, of even tem
per, generous, conceives an attachment for
Claro Ilnrtlll, a woman of great cleverness,
unscrupulous and selfish. Both nro teachers
In a girls' school. Tho themo of tho novel
la built uround a series of Incidents which
aro tho direct outgrowth of the Influence of
these two opposing personalities upon fac
ulty nnd students. Tho climax of this
woman tale is reached In something very
nearly approaching tragedy, but which Is
averted through tho appeal ance of a level
