HEARTENING
THE "WETS"
'Whole Truth About Alcohol"
Seems to Be Academi
cally Encouraging
In "The Whole Truth About Al
cohol," (ieorge Klliot Flint vivaciously
nnd vigorously considers, and to his
satisfaction demolishes, the standard
arguments of the prohibitionists. Some
times one feels thnt tho writer '.'doth
protest too much." He buttresses his
thesis of defenso by numerous citations
by both prohibition advocates nnd their
opponents.
It must not be understood that Mr.
Tlint is n proponent of drunkenness ; on
the contrary he aims to exhibit both
sides of n most important question.
There is no doubt left in his pages of
his belief that wholesale, blanket,
national prohibition Is govcrnmcnlnlly
tyrannical, economically menacing nnd
soeinlly unwise. There is no doubt,
either, in the minds of readers that
many of the stock arguments of pro
hibitionists have been and are fanatic,
scientifically fallacious and ridiculous.
It is by no means li virtue of these
arguments tluit nntinnal prohibition
has been written into tne constitution
of these I'nited States. Mr. Flint
exposes their inaccuracy nnd reduces
their
absurdity to the laughing point.
He hns covered the ground fully nnd
thoroughly, discussing, among other
subjects, alcohol and efficiency, as a
poison, relation to life insurance, work
ingmen's clubs, poverty and connection
with health, longevity, disease, detcii-
oration, etc
This book will give a lot of eneour-
ngement to the "wets," but it must
needs be of the academic variety in view
of the inevitability of the calendar and
the nighncss of July 1.

THE WAR
PHILLIP GIBBS ENDS
HIS WAR HISTORY
"The Victory" in Two Vol
tunes Concludes Action
Story of Conflict
Philip Gibbs, the celebrated war cor
respondent, whose dispatches were
printed from day to day in tlie, Hvn.NiMi
Public I.r.uor.n. has concluded his
series of books, which virtually amount
to n history of tho wur on the vital
western front, vvjth "The Way to A'ie
tory." The two volumes, entitled re
spectively "The Menace" and "The
Repulse," organize, relate nml oon
eolidato Air. Gihbs's narratives from
the battlefields and his anal sis made
nt headquarters. As an nrcrcdlted
correspondent with the British army
from 1015 to 1018 he had exceptional
opportunities for observation nnd con
fidential discussion.
lb "The Menace," Mr. Gibbs outlines
the great German offensive. He re
lates the silent preparation of the Ger
man army; transfer ot great numbers
of troops from Russia to the western
front, so that the enemy had a superi
ority ot something like 1fi0,000 bayo
nets; the surprise attack of the Canibrnl
'nlicnt, which was an incomplete sue
cess, nlthmigli the Hlndenburg line was
broken, for the enemy regained the
position by an unsuspected counter
attack: ami the dark das when the
enemy had all the old battlefields of
the Somme in his clutch nnd was ad- (
vancing on Amiens. It is here that
General Foeh gave his assurance, "1 ,
guarantee Amiens," nnd arrived in
time to support the weakened forces of
the British. The attack then broke '
on the north, then ngain on the Aisne, ,
between Soissons and Rhcims, which '
lcsulted in the Germans reaching the
Mnrnc nt Chateau-Thierry and one of
the most threatening periods ot the
wnr for the Allied forces.
In "The Repulse," Air. Gibbs
sketches the strategical positions of the
Allied armies, from General Focb's '
trump piny with tlie American troops ,
on the Alnrne and the British counter
offensive on tlie northern front between
Amiens nnd Albert, which continued un
til the day of the armistice, and also cer
tain aspects of the military and moral
situation of the armies in conflict, and
ot the nrmistiee which followed the!
German suriender.
Mr. Gibbs has given us what is vir
tually nn action history of the gravest
da.vs, both in military strategy and pub
lic morale, of the great conflict. A'et I
significant interpretation is not lacking.
The book is graphically written and one I
senses on its pages the impress of
nutliprity. Air. Gibbs pays high tribute i
to America's idealistic participation in
the war and to the bravery and re
source of its soldieis. He sa.vs:
"America and Bngland. speaking the
same bjngunge. obe.ving tlie same code I
of honor, inspired, largely, by the same
ideals, have asupienie opportunity of
lifting the world to a higher stage ot I
moral development and of deciding the
destiny of its peoples."

LEONARD MERRICK, subtle master of
the art of so telling a story that twenty
lines from its end you cannot guess how
it is coming out, knowing the theatre as
few men do, and writing of it with whim
sical humor and charm, absorbing inter

him the envy of his brother authors.
