EARLY MANNER OF
HENRY JAMES
Scvqii Talcs Written in the
Sixties and Seventies Gath
ered in a Book
Albert Mordell has dug out from the
magazines of the sixties and seventies
of tho last century seven short stories
bjV Henry James, which the author never
republished in book form. They now
appear for the first time between board
covers. Students of the development of
the art of .Tames will find these tales of
reat interest. They will speculate upon
his reasons for not collecting them In a
volume, as ho collected some of his
other tales. It may be thnt he did not
think them worthy of preservation, or
it may be thnt his publishers were un
willing to risk putting them on tho
mnrltet. There was n time when vol
umes of short stories did not sell very
well.
One finds in the dtorics evidence of
the Jamesinn, or ns some one has said.
tho Jncobenn. fncilitv of cxnression.
which Inter degenerated into compli
cated sentences, lucid enough if one took
the trouble to unrnel them, but per
plexing to the casual reader. His sen
tences nt the htnge of his career under
consideration were short and direct, but
they were telling, for all that. 1'or ex
ample, in "DeGrcj : A Itoinance," he
is writing of an elderly woman who
lives in retirement, nnd sajs of her:
"Close observers did her the honor to
believe that there was n secret in her
life, but of n wholly undefined char
acter. Was she the victim of some
lurking sorrow , or the mistress of some
clandestine joj '!" Never iu all his life
did James wnte a more pregnant sen
tence than the second one in the quota
tion. There is embodied in it all the
curious gossip of a neighborhood about
a woman whom it did not understand.
The earliest story in the volume first
appealed iu the Atlantic Monthly for
Jul, ISliS, nnd the latest in the Oalnxy
for August, 15)74, and they were all
printed iu these two magazines, save
one, which was printed in Scribncr's
Month! for May nnd June, 1S74.

HARKS BACK TO

"The Challenge to Sirius"
Study of Human Emotion
' Under Strain
Rhciln Knvc-Smlth has deviated from
the path of her fellow flctlonists In writ
ing n war novel. Hook reviewers' tables
arc piled high with stories having the
great world war as Inspiration, sub
stance or background. Miss Kaye
Smlth has not added to this number,
but has, Instead, chosen the war of '01
'0." for the time and, In part, locale of
her very Interesting work, "The Chal
lenge to Sirius."
This novel is not esscntinlly war fic
tion for its own sake; rather, It is the
study of human nature nnd human emo
tion, with their reaction to war as only
one of several significant factors.
Tho keen powers of observation, the
acute psychological nnalysis, the capac
ity to understand provincial life re
vealed in the author's "Sussex Gorse"
are iterated with profound and signifi
cant cmphnsls in her new novel. The
early scenes aro laid In tho Sussex
which she knows so well nnd which she
reproduces so pictorinlly nnd so con
vincingly. Tho scenes shift to mid
Victorian London and thence to "the
States," where the protagonist fights
for the Confederates, nnd the final cur
tnln falls back in Susbex, whither the
waj-wom adventurer has returned,
without the fortune he has sought, but
welcomed by tho womnn for love of
whom he has fared far from home nnd
quested forgctfiilness in strange lands.
Neither man nor woman is heroic in
tho sense of the hero nnd heroine of
conventional fiction, but they are hu
man, human as characters from Thack
eray or Hard.
Miss Kavc'Smlth reminds the reader
of botli these novelists, not, however,
through unconscious or conscious Imi
tation of their methods, but by her in
sight into tho temper of humanity. Her
novel is large-scale in a period of puny
fiction.

It is nil explained now. Those vho

why Kllis Parker Hutler is not Re

himself has written a little book in

would not now have to be Identified as
the author of the pig story, a thing
written twelve ears ago. He calls his
book "Goa,t Feathers," nnd explains
that gont feathers "nre the feathers n

make himself look like the village goat."
t'nder the guise of humor Mr. Butler
leads n wholesome lecture to the ambi

by sticking to one thing they might

JELLICOE'S BOOK
ON GRAND FLEET
Arthur Pollen Also Contrib
utes to Story of British
Navy's Achievements
The thoughtless query jyit not only
In neutral lands but frequently In Eng
land itself during the course of" the
world wnr, "What is the British navy
doing to justify tho contention nnd
trndltion that Britannia rules the
wave?" is answered nuthorltatively,
though from some whnt different nngles
by Admiral Viscount Jellicoe, of Scnpa,
O. C. B., O. M.; G. C. V., in "The
Grnnd Fleet, 1014-1010" nnd by Arthur
II. Pollen, in "The British Navy in
Bnttlc."
Admiral Jellicoe's portly nnd impor
tant book will certainly rank as one of
the monumental source-volumes of par
ticularized mntcrial brought to typo by
tho war. Mr. Pollen's book is more
general In treatment nnd topic, is less
bulky In substance nnd considerably
less "documented;" it has, too, the
stjllstlc ndvnntnge of the orgnnlzlng
faculty of a trained writer, knowing his
subject, keen in observation and school
ed in making his impressions count,
though this is not to Imply that the
ndmirnl is not elenr nnd grnphic. There
is some divergence of opinion notice
able in tho viewpoints of the two writ
ers (onccrning the policy proper to the
conduct of tho battle of Jutland.
If Admiral Jellicoe, at 0:30 in the
evening of May 31, 1010, had deplojcd
the six divisions of his battle fleet to
starboard instead of to port, would an
other Trnfalgar bnve befallen the Ger
man high seas fleet off the coast of
Jutland? Or had Admiral Jellicoe press
ed the battle during the night or at
first dawn started in search of the Ocr
man ships, would the war bnve been
shortened by n yenr nnd would the world
have been spnred the agony of, the un
restricted submarine warfare? These
are among the potentialities which Mr.
Pol en has raised in his volume. Admiral
Jellicoe defends bis policy in bis book.
What Mr. Pollen calls "excessive cau
tion" he defends as "necessary pru
dence." Persons interested , in sea war
fare or in the world war from its naval
side will want to rend both books nnd
then frnmo individual answer to these
potent questions. The books furuish
nmple mnterial for debate.
But. after nil. potent ns they would
have proved in 1010 they can readily be
dismissed in view oi mo event uu
brought the vaunted Gcrmnny navy
fclinkine servilely into Scapn Flow,
Admiral Jellicoe gives the "inside
dope," "the close-up" to the problems
both numerous and perplexing, which
confronted the Admiralty during the
war. Much of what he divulges, of
course, could never have been printed
had not the German navy been virtually
eliminated totally eliminated, really,
ns n combatant force from the Beas.
Admiral Jellicoe candidly answers the
miestion as to what the British Navy
wns doing. He illuminates radiantly the
dark corners of official reticence, neces
sary "for the duration." The creation,
development, work and consummate
achievements of the grand fleet nre in
spirmgly ns well ns informing!)' set
forth in his interesting volume. Best
of all it does not take a mind technically
trained in Bea warfare to understand nnd
npprecinte his descriptions, estimates
and judgments.
Mr. Pollen devotes only part of the
space of his informative work to reci
tntion of the fleet's contributions to
allied victory. There is cause for just
pride in its achievements, nnd in the
course of setting these down unttirnlh
some of the world's debt to the vigilant,
efficient nnd prepared British navy come
to the fore. But Mr. Pollen, nn ac
knowledged expert on sea warfare and
particularly on the British navy, has
emphasized other matters the building,
equipment, drill, personnel, methods,
etc. in his graphic story. From navi
gation to ballistics he covers every in
teresting point. Access to officinl reports
at the Admlraltv is the basis of ac
curate data for his material, while his
st)lc is vigorous and vivid.

An English View of Wilson
William Archer has vvriten for Eng
lish readers an appreciation of Presi
dent Wilson, which has all the merits
and all the defects of an estimate of
any man made by nn enthusinstic nd
mircr. Everything that Mr. Wilson has
done is right, ns Mr. Archer sees it.
He even nraises the Mexican policy and
assumes that It was consistent, in spite
of Mr. Wilson's complete reversal of
himself after he had forced Huertn to
flee the country. The boon wna douDt-
ess informing to the I.nglish readers,
for whom it was written, Decause it
discloses tho processes by whicli an
American may rise from humble ranks
to high office. It is n splendid study in
democracy, so far as it goes. The book
of Mr. Wilson on this bide ot the
ocean, for it enables them to reenforce
their own opinions with the opinion of
n canable foreigner, llut ns nn equit
able appraisement of the President it
will please the whole-hearted defenders
leaves much to be uesircu.

STRANDED IN THE
HEART OF AFRICA
What Happened to a Young
Woman When She Took a
Ride in an Airship
Once Africa wns the pecultnr fictional
domain of BIder Haggard, whoso' ro
mances, essentlnlly of adventure, gave
occasional sidelights on customs and
scenes but rarely on character nnd
emotions. Recently the veldt nnd the
Junglo have been explored and exploited
by other writers novelists where Hag
gard was simply a story-teller nmong
them Stewnrt Brwnrd White, Cynthia
Stockley and George Agncw Chamber
lain. The last named, who has gained nn
intimate nnd broad knowledge of Africn
through his connection with the United
States consular service, has written a
gripping novel In "White Man."
A girl on a sudden whim stops
dancing long enough to take n flight
with a strange nviator. She is Eng
lish, high bred, impulsive. He is Amer
ican, adventurous, lured by the mystery
of Africa. Instend of a speedy return
to conventional society the twain find
themselves In the heart of the wild.
This Is the situation devised by Mr.
Chamberlain. He hns written a capital
story around it, one thnt is more than n
tale of adventure, thrilling ns that side
of it is. It is a story that gets deep
down into primitive emotions nnd hu
manity stripped of its artificialities.

Religion Without Faith
The aim of Prof. It. W. Scllars In his
"Next Step in llcligion" is to show
what be believes will be the religion of
the future. With the growth of scien
tific knowledge there will bo a giving
up of a belief in the supernatural nnd
n "humanistic naturalism" will take
its place. With "religion as loyalty to
human values, the palsvlng background
of supcrimturalism will disoppear."
There is nothing "grander in all Utern
turc" than the gospel story of the life
of .Tcsus, but "it is a mnstcrpiece of
lyricized mjthology." The establish
ment of the Bible ns "ultimate nuthor
ity wns decidedly harmful, since it set
reason nnd experience over ngninjt a
supposed revelation." Inexplicable is
his statement that "Paul's God was an

"Bits of Background" shows the

writing one-act plays of tho somewhat
precious sort that arc staged nt little

melodramatically far - fetched. "The

From chapter to chapter, 'The Wicked Marquis' is a curi
