HOW YOUNG
IS LIFE WORTH LIVING IF
YOU ARE AFRAID TO LOSE IT?
This Question Is Answered in St. John G. Ervine's
New Novel That Reminds One
of DeMorgan
TPVKUY mature patriot la wondering In
X-J theso critical days how tho young
men of Ametlcn will net when confronted
by wnr. "Will they respond willingly and
Bladyto tho cnll of their country, ns they
icact to tho call of tho natural Instincts?
Will they feci that America ls not worth
living for if it is not worth dying for, or
will they bo "slackers"? Will there bo
among them physical cowards who will
bo great enough to take their fear In
their hands mid cast It behind them, nnd
will thoro bo men who will go Into the
nimy nnd navy without a thought of what
great sacrifice they may be called upon
to make?
Wo nro In n (fnlr way to have theso
questions answered within the next few
months, as they have been answered in
England nnd France.
Much has been written of the effect of
war upon tho youth on tho other sldo of
tho (ocean. Thero are tragic pages In "Mr.
Brltllng Sees It Through" which throw
much light on tho subject. Those readors
who found "Mr. Brltllng" absorbing will
find St. John a, Ervine's new novel,
"Changing Winds," of compelling Interest.
Mr. Wells dealt particularly with the
rovolutloA In the thinking of grown man
and tho father of a family. "Mr. Brltllng"
Is tho Hrltlsh splrlt'personlfled.-Mr. Er
vino has dealt almost exclusively with
young men, starting with them as boys In
a preparatory school, taking them
through oollego and bringing war upon
them Just as they have begun successful
careers. Ills hero Is a congenital coward.
Tho lad ls afraid of the water. Death fills
him with nn Indefinable terror. When
his friends enlist ho dreams of them
killed and mangled on the battlefield, and
wakes In horror at the thought that It
was he nnd not they who had been killed.
But nt last, under the stress of strong
emotion, his spirit conquers his body and
ho decides to offer himself for his country.
Ho has reached that stato where he can
say with conviction that
Llfo Isn't worth while If one Is afraid
to lose It a year or two more, what
do they matter If a Job be shirked? It
Isn't the tlmo one lives that matters,
he went on, It's what ono does In the
time!
This ls tho conclusion of the whole
matter. And a pretty flno conclusion, too
not new and not strange, but In accord,
nnco with tho experience of the race
slnco men llrst -began to have ideals and
to believe that there Is more to llfo than
simply filling tho belly.
"Changing Winds" ls a young man's
book. The young men In It are British
and Irish by accident of birth; but they
might have been Americans or French
men or Germans. Yes, Germans, for In
spite of all the horrors that have come
to be known ns Germany there ls a
spirit und a soul In the Teuton that ls
akin to the soul of all mankind. Mr.
Ervine's youths are human types at bot
tom. The environment In which he puts
them is of little matter. Thero me four
of them who go through the" volume from

solve his uncertainties Into certainties if

story of a modern miracle:
A boy was born In a western mining
THE WICKED JOHN GOODE
town of a drunken Irish father and a hard
working mother. He was one of many
children. Ills mother was too busy to give
him any teaching and his father saw him
only to beat hlni. He early developed Into a
liar and a thief a thief, because that was
the only way he could get money to buy
candy, and a liar because he discovered
that was the only way he could escape a
beating. He did not know the difference
between right and wrong. At the age of
eleven he- ran away from homo to escape
the brutality of his father. He stole rides
on rnllway trains and came In contact with
the thieves and bums who travel that way.
Ho was arrested In St. Louis for sleeping
In a barn and ordered out of town by the
Judge, who. In delivering this kind of a
Bentence. kicked him along orf the way on
which he had started. Experienced thieves
trained him as. a pickpocket. He became a
gambler and a drunkard because his asso
ciates wcro drunkards and gamblers. He
was arrested and sentenced to "reform
Hchools" and came out worse than he went
In. Ho went to New York and got on the
police force, where he grafted with he
worBt of them, and was protected by th
politicians whose game he played. He mar
ried a good woman for the sole purpose of
doing her out of 12000 that she had saved.
He took the money with no relets, and
gambled It away with the knowledge that
he could get more somewhere else, Kla of.

beginning to end tho like of which might
bo found In any of tho American colleges,
Their talk Is nt first tho crude, Immature
talk of Inexperience, lightened up by
flashes of Intuition such ns delight all
men who deal much with outh, because
of Its levelatlon of awakening compre
hension of tho significance of human ex
periences. If tho young men In the
American colleges do not devour tho
book It will bo for tho reason that the
men charged with their education do not
call their attention to It nnd lmm ess upon
them its vnluo ns a document which will
help them to understand themselves.
It ls a young woman's book as well, for
It exhibits young men nnd their ways of
thought In a manner seldom equaled.
Thero Is a frankness In tho discussions
to which young women nro never treated
and of which they know nothing unless
they chance to hear young men talking
freely among themselves where they
havo no fear of being overheard. Tho
femalo youth can learn from It what tho
male youth is like when he ls speaking
out what ls really In his mind.
It ls a book for fathers and mothers
as wcll ns young people, for there Is a
fond father In It nnd a heroic mother.
Mr. Ervlno has entered Into tho heart
of motherhood when ho makes a widow
whose only son has enlisted say:
I feel proud and afraid. I'm glad
that N'lnlan has Joined. I
think I should hate It If he hadn't
and yet I wish, too, that
that ho weren't In It. I am
not much of a patriot, Henry. I Ioe
my son more than I lovo my country.
, I've never been able to understand
those women ono reads about who offer ,
their sons gladly I don't offer N'lnlan
gladly. I offer him that's
all. I know that men have to defend
their country, and I lovo England and
I'm proud to be KnKllsh but
when I've said all that. It's very little
when I remember that I lovo N'lnlan.
I suppose that that's a selfish thing to
say but i don't care whether
It Is or not!
As tho hero ls Irish, Mr. Ervlne has
much to say about Ireland and the Irish
question. As he ls a Protestant, his bias
need not be further explained. Many of
the things which ho makes his charac
ters say will bo offensive to the Roman
Catholics, nnd some of them will be pleas
Ing. His characterizations of English
nnd Irish statesmen and literary men
he mentions them by names -aro peno
tratlngand entertaining. Of Chesterton,
for Instance, ho fcays that his lecture
would have been funny If it could have
been heard, but he laughed so heartily
at his Jokes as he saw them approaching
that he forgot to make them. Wells was
deprecating and almost lnartlculnto ns ho
told of the Importance of the novelist.
And so on with half a dozen other great
names.
The book has many of the qualities
which havo made Will DeMorgan's writ
ing famous, and If I mistake not It Is
bound to bo popular.

11.60. New York: The Macmlllan Company
In such straits that ho had not the carfaro
to go to her he went to tho Bowery Mission
to get paper and a postage stnmp so that
he might write. He was. a man without
conscience. The world to him was made ijp
of selfish grafters. He thought the mission
workers belonged to the samo class. But
when work was offered to him by a man
who approached him as he had neer been
approached before ho accepted It to his
own great surprise. Ho had neer worked
before. He kept the Job for three days,
until the task for which he was. hired was
tlnlshed. He did not get drunk, but he
sought more woik. He attended lho meet
ings nt the mission and heard a man tell
how he had maltreated his wife. That
night, for the first tlmo in his life, he felt
regret for what ho had dono to the good
woman who had married him. Out of that
regret his moral nature began to develop,
and after two stumbles on the way upward
he made a home for her nnd earned an
honest livelihood and devoted his spare
time to helping men to find the better way
to which he had been guided by a Tower
the mastery of which he bnd discovered by
so curious an accident. He is still a worker
In the mission.
If this be not a mliaclc, then words must
have new meanings But it ls the kind of
a miracle with which lellglous workers are

nnd did not die until 1907. He IIed from

that when his mother with her six children
migrated from Connecticut to Susquehanna
County, In the northern tier of Pennsylva

western State. Yet the families that came

who remained nt home to be "going out

Mrs. Grow and her children wera ono of

century. They chartered a boat on which
they loaded their household goods at Mys

York, which then did not extend above
Twenty-third street, nnd continued up tho
Hudson to Hondout. There they transfer
red their belongings to canal boats and
traclcd through tho new Dclawnie and
Hudson Canal to Honcsdale, whence they
were carried by wagon to a settlement on

Hern Galuihn Grow, who died only ten

sturdy men and women were carving farms
