Doyle's History Favors the English
""VN'U of the pleasantest recollections
of my childhood," remarked Doctor
McFabro iib ho settled himself Into on
easy chair, "Is Connected with a contem
porary history of tho Civil Wnr. My
father bought tho history from a book
agent and I was allowed to look at tho
pictures as a reward for good behavior.
I was about (c years old at the time.
Ono afternoon 1 was lying Hat on my
stomach on the floor with the book In
front of me I had a pencil with which
I was drawing a line around" the por
traits of the generals. My brothcrpro
tested and told me my father would
spank me. I recall that I replied, "No,
ho won't, with perfect confidence In his
tolerant sympathy."
Ho was silent for a moment or two.
A whimsical smile crept over his features
as he added:
"And I didn't, get a spanking."
"Was It n good history?" Dick Owen
wanted to know.
"Better and more complete histories
have been written since," s.M he, "but
as I havo looked over tho velumo In later
years I have It in my library now, lead
pencil marks and all I have thought It
serxed a useful purpose when It was pub
lished." "I havo seen It announced that his
tories of the present war are already on
tho market," said Owen, as ho turned
toward me. "Arc they worth reading?"
"Of courso It Is too early to write a
definitive history," said I. "The war Is
still In progress and the testimony re
garding certain actions that arc ahcady
completed Is conflicting. Years are likely
to pass before we know the exact truth
about them. Yet there Is sufficient Interest
in the subject to Justify assembling all

EVENING LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20,
"I did not know Conan Doyle was a his.
torian," eald Doctor McFabro.
"History writing Is only one of his
many activities," I explained. "He was
head physician in a military hospital In
South Africa In tho Boer War and when
he returned to England ho wroto a his
tory of that conflict, which was widely
read at tho time of its publication. His
first novel was a semi-historical study of
tho Mormons In America. "Tho White
Company" Is also a historical novel. He
has written poetry and plays besides
creating Sherlock Holmes, tho most popu
lar detectlvo In fiction for a century. If
you want to read somo rattling stories of
the Napoleonic wars you should get his
Adventures of Olrard.' They will show you
what war was like when it was fought
by men with a senso of chivalry. As I
havo looked over the second volume of his
history of the part the British aro taking
in the present war I have regretted that
ho did not use his dramatic Imagination
In telling his story. He describes what
happened In 1915 In n narratlvo that Is
devoid of color and dlftlcult to read be
cause of tho multitude of details. He
looks at the British actions with a micro
scope and tells us what regiments were
engaged In the various actions, who com
manded them and what they did. It Is lm
portant, however, that there should bo a
record of these things. The record will be
intensely Interesting to the British and
will be studied by military students of the
technique of fighting. And tho American
who wishes to get a friendly and sym
pathetic view of the part the British
troops havo played on the continent will
find It worth while."
"When our troops begin to fight on
the other side, some American writer will
do the same service for them,'' Owen re
marked. "I suppose so." I admitted, "and we
shall all want to read It. In the mean
time thote of us who aro fortunate
enough to have Frank H. Slmonds's his
tory will find exactly what we have been
looking for."
"Who Is Slmonds?" Doctor McFabro
asked.
"You don't mean to say that you havo
not heard of him?" I asked. "He Is the
ono American newspaper writer whose
articles on the war raised him Into promt
nenco from the beginning. Ho was the
editor of tho New York Evening Sun in.
1914 and his editorial articles showed
such n comprehensive knowledge of mill,
tary history and such a grasp of the
great issues Involved In the wnr that
they were quoted In nil parts of tho coun
try. Early In the spring of 1915 ho
went oer to the New York Tribune and
was put In charge of the editorial page to
continue his commentaries on the war.
Tho first volumo of his history carries
us to May, 1915. But before he begins
to discuss the lighting he gives us a
brie' resume of the political events In
Europe since 1870. His discussion of the
history of the twelve fateful days that
preceded the actual declaration of war
is in a different temper from most that
has been written. Former Ambassador
Morgenthau, for example, wrote last Sun
day that Oermany had decided on the war
weeks before the Austrian Archduke was
assassinated, and ho put the entire blamo
for tho cataclysm on the Germans. Mr,
Slmonds, however, after remarking that
volumes have been published to prove
that this nation or that was most anxious
to preserve tho peace, remarks that It
seems probable that In the future all
these details will be forgotten by tho
historian who will perceive that the
twelve days were not significant, as all
hope for peace had expired long before;
and ho" says that the statesmen who
frantically labored for peace were as Im
potent as tho medicine man who Invokes
charms lo check the approach of a
cyclone. I know there are persons who
hold a different view, but I am Inclined
to think that this Is the correct one."
"Then you think that Germany did not
start the war?" asked Owen.
"In a broad sense, no. In a narrow
sense, yes," I said, "The war grew out
of tho conflicting selfishnesses of the na
tions of Europe. Events were shaping
themselves for years before the first of
August, 1914, which made war Inevitable.
Far-sighted men had long been awaro
of the condition, but they had hoped the
Inevitable could be escaped. If the na
tions had been prepared for war ns Ger
many was prepared the conflict would not
havo lasted three years. Mr. Slmonds,
writing In America, and so able in a way
to find that verdict of a foreigner, which
of LIGHT
'
NEW YORK
WHILE THE
JHUr i'lllim
Hnfe ' v; . ;" ' asm
FRANK H.
has been said to resemble tho verdict
of posterity, lays on tho British unpre
parcdness much of tho blamo for the
prolonged fighting. Ho writes down Sir
Edward Grey as a failure, for tho reason
that he hod not prepared tho mind of tho
British public to understand what was
going on across the Channel nnd to listen
with understanding to the warnings of
Lord Itoborts uml others. When tho war
began tho British nowspapers nt first
said that It did not concern England.
The Invasion of Belgium, with Its
violation of treaties, was seized upon ns
a motive for British action. But Bel
glum was only a pretext. The success
of the German arms would havo threat
ened the integrity of tho British empire,
but the British did not realize It In tho
beginning. While Sir Edward Grey failed
as a Foreign Secretary, Mr. Slmonds de
clares that tho failure of Sir John French,
afterward Field Marshal French, was
men moro disastrous In the field. At tho
battle of tho Marne Joffro asked him to
attack tho German lino within twenty
four hours. Sir John replied that ho
could not attack within less than forty
eight hours. Tho movement which Joffro
had planned with tho help of tho British
would have crumpled tho German flank
and would hae forced a retreat that, If
the French plans hair can led, would have
been almost a rout. But Sir John was
not equal to tho emergency. It was Gen
eral Foch, with troops In no better shnpo
than those of Sir John, who broke tho
German lino In tho center and won the
battle of tho Marne."
"I thought that Sir John French did
splendid work," said Doctor McFabro.
"The British thought so, too, at first,"
said I, "but you know that they dis
placed him and put General Hnlg In his
place. Mr. Slmonds, who has followed
tho wnr from the beginning and has
visited the battlefields nnd talked with
the French officers, gives us tho benefit
of something broader than tho British
view . about their own achievements.
What he writes may huo to bo revised
In the 'light of fuller knowledge when the
war Is over. But his book deserves to
take rank as a most brilliant and com
prehensive study of tho great movements
of the early months of the war. If tho
succeeding volumes fulfill the promlso
of tho first one, America can boast of a
historian of whom any nation might bo
proud." GEORGE W. DOUGLAS.

Biblical History Interesting
When one lays down Professor Laura H.
Wild's book on the evolution of tho Hebrew
people the wish that these favored tribes
had produced a greater Influence on civili
zation Is uppermost. The yearning for an
other prophet to lead tho stricken world
out of Its present orgy of madness Is strong
upon the reader. Another Jonah, or even
a lesser prophot, to Impress upon the clll
izrri world tho truths uttered thousands
of years ago that there Is a greater right
than mlgnt, ana inai vengeance in tmiinj
wrong, would redeem the world In the eyes
of humanity.
Professor Wild has the all too rare gift
of writing a book prlmarly designed for
use In class In a strain that makes It In
teresting and attractive to those exasper
ated with the conventional academic method
of presentation. By painting In Intelligible
colors, the background of the Hebrew peo
ple from the earliest days until the death
of Paul, the author so Interprets the Old
Testament that the significance of the docu
ment and Its effect upon Christian civili
zation are at once apparent. The Bible
Is made a living history of a great race,
and this latest volume from Professor
Wild's keen, authoritative pen will prove,
as fascinating to the uninitiated as Instruo
tl to the student.

WHEN A MAN
FINDS HIMSELF
Moving Story of the Reformation
of n Man Born n
Gentleman
"The Reformation of a Man Horn a
Gentleman" might have been the title of
Beatrice York Houghton's book, but
It Isn't Instead, she called It 'The Shel
leys of Georgia." For It was through the
efforts of that admirable family that Tom
Blankcnshlp, the gentleman, finally found
himself and became a man.
Tom was ushered Into this world after
the manner of his kind, and at once pro
ceeded to cut his teeth on the proverbial
slher spoon. Ills life, already laid out
for him, was bounded by doting pirents, a
large estate, noble antecedents and a ca
reer that demanded nothing In particular
Fae that he always live up to tho tradi
tional standards of his class. In this con
nection It was Inevitable that tho Prince
of Evil should provtdo an occupation for
Mr Dlankenshlp'a Idlo hands. And he did.
Tom was In love with Tloe Shelley.
Captain "3abe," n, wealthy Georgia peach
grower nnd nose's father, objected to the
match. He had a reason of thn nature of
which his daughter was not Informed. On
the night the lovers were to elopo Minnie
Gray, a girl from the hills, appeared with
her child at the Shelley home A telltale
birthmark on tho baby revealed the Iden
tity of Its father, and Rose knew why she
never could marry Tom Hlankenshlp.
During the reformation period. In which
Tom, wounded at the battle of El Paney.
Is nursed bark to life by tho woman he
wronged, a pretty love story unfolds Itself
Incidentally, various moral standards are
presented for Inspection. Through It all
Captain "Oabe," IToso nnd Mlnnlo Gray
stand out In honesty, purity nnd sweetness
of character.
The book also contains a fine vein of
philanthropy that Is disclosed when Cap
tain "Oabe" opens a home for what he
terms "children now left on the outskirts
of civilization."
Altogether the author has presented a
strong story with real men nnd women
Every chapter has n worth-whlleness all

The War Widow's Friends
A pretty story with good fairies In hu
man form nnd characters almost too kind
and altruistic to be natural Is George Van
Schalck's new novel, "A Top-Floor Idyl."
If the setting were not In the very midst
of New York city one might not bo sur
prised at tho types In tho book, hut tho
characters are none the less delightful, al
though a bit out of place located In our
most mercenary nnd materialistic center.
David Cole, who tells the story, Is a middle
aged bachelor, a writer, living on the top
floor of Mrs. Mllllken's boarding house, near
Washington Square. Ills friendship for
Frieda Long, a spinster nrtlst. fat and good
hearted, Is tho delightful comradeship so
rarely found between opposite sexes. One
day tho room across the hall from David's
Is taken by the young American widow of
a French soldier killed In battle There,
nlono nnd frlondlpss, the young war widow
faces motherhood. Davis chancing along
nt tho critical moment becomes the good
fairy, summons his friend Frieda nnd to
gether they care for the mother nnd child,
nnd later ccuro for her a position Then
comes the expected lovo story developments
with happy endings and success and money
rewarding those who havo given freely of
kindness and Inspiration "A Top-Floor

lication of that popular story.

A Chaste Man
"A Chaste Man" Is tho story of a modern,
and married, Joseph. It Is called tho story
of a normal and young husband whose
frayed matrimonial ties chafo him yet bind
him fast Hero Is a situation often found
In our complex, up-to-date artificial life.
Passion for Dresden dnll beauty and
pretty ways soon cools and there Is nothing
of enduring devoted loe In the marriage
pact. It is a contract, not a sacrament
The bonds of matrimony aro tranuuols
physical fetters without the leaven of
spirituality Tills is the discovery of the.
hero of Louis Wilkinson's novel. Tho
author portrays the destructive force of
blind virtue. It was not for naught that his
earlier novel, "The Uuffoon," was praised
unreservedly by James Hunekor, Lawrence
Oilman nnd Henry L Mencken. He has
Inspiration nnd technique. H0 can tell a
story, even a somewhat plotless story, ac
cording to the canons of the best fiction
He Is mordant and sardonic, yet sound In
his sympathies and Judgments. Ho has
Carlyle's honest hatred for sham and senti
mentality and superficiality and something
of Carlyle's blistering treatment of these
traits. He revels In Irony but It Is not the
Irony of cynicism. He points no conscious
moral or obtrusive purpose, and cares more
for characterization than sensation. His
delicately sketched portraits, with their
careful chiaroscuro, their accurato drafts,
manshlp and their reallstla mlnrino- ,.
the binding force which gives conciseness
nnd artistic unity to an Impressive novel
