tion from the sensational situations and
methods of Ixmis Joseph Vance's con
ventional Action. Sat it has its own
sensations as well as novelty. It is a
mystery story, but not the routine mys

Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Her dally llfu
Is law-abiding, but in her dream life
she Is a lawbreaker. The marvelous
opportunities for striking situations
presented In thhi novel posture of events
are cleverly realized by Mr. Vance, who
has written one of his most Interest
holding novels. And it is strictly up to
date In its turning to fictional account
the present wide interest In the psvchlc.
The author of "The Untamed" has
written another dashing nnd Intrepidly
imagined story of a West that is both
wild and woolly in "Trallin. " An
easterner, but by no means effete, con
ducts a vendetta against the man who
Is believed to hnve been the murderer
of his father. This is in barest outline
the theme on which the author develops

the interest contlhti6us. Romance col
ors the pages, and there is a definite and
appealing love interest. Mr. lirnnd
shows n genuino understanding of the
temperament and conditions of the

WHAT WAR IS
REALLY LIKE
Philip Gibbs Has Described It
in a Great Argument
for Peace
Philip fiibbs, whoso war dispatches
tfcfc printed In this newspaper, hns
written a new war book that ought to
be read by every man and woman in
terested in the peace of the world.
It is the story of the human, or rath
er the inhuman, side of the war as
seen by an Informed, high-minded mnu.
Mr. Olbbs has searched his memory for
the impressions received during four
years of nctlvc service as a correspond
ent In the field. He has found mang
heroic and many pathetic and moving
things, but the impression which re
mains strongest is that war is a brtltril
thing, unworthy of civilized human
beings. The spectacle of men devoting
themselves for years to the business of
killing one another is to revolting that
be rnnnnt corittmnlnte it without horror.
He describes the useless slaughter of
men through the blunders of officers,
the Intense fiifferlne that attended
life In the trenches in winter, the hard
ships of the woudded arid the occasional
heartlcssness of the attendants In the
hospitals. He exhibits all the ineffi
ciencies which caused needless suffer
ing. And he ends with the confession
that he Is not able clenrly to decide
what It was all done for. Of course,
he admits that It began as an attempt
to prevent the Oermans from succeed
ing in their plan of world conquest. Hut
why rould riot a better way have been
found?
If ever it peace argument was written,
Mr. Olbbs has written It. ,Yet the book
is not difficult to read. It III so filled
with Incident rind color that it is difficult
to lay it ddwn. When the) books nbout
campaigns are read only hy specialists
this one will be Ic the hands of thoso
who wish' to know what the war was
now jtcaM -k Tofii. fir MU$ dlfibS.

"The Outlaw" an Epic of Old
Iceland
Maurice Hewlett tells a tale of a
mnglc blnde, first n sword and then n
spear, which brought dentn and mis
fortune to Its succession of possessors,
in an Icelandic saga-epic which he calls
"The Outlaw."
It Is a vivid story of the days when
life was rough and death was swift and
violent, when men foiisht nnd killed
for w'hnt they wanted, whether that was
a hrimc or a-jvlfc or n cherished
weapon. 3et, despite its savagery,
"The flntlnw" linn Its centle WOlrien
and men of noble Impulse nnd kindly
hearts. Such a man was lie irom wnom
the book receives Its name. And it was
the curse of thnt fateful blnde which
miiile him an outlaw, yet served only
to strengthen a domestic love which
warms and Inspires the reader.
"The Outlaw'" Is written with that
skill and charm nnd absorbing Interest
which arc characteristic of nil that'Mr.
Hewlett hns done, nnd one puts the
book aside, finMicd, with real regret.

YOUTH WRITES
, ABOUT YOUTH
1(6 First Novel of a Very
Young Man Reflects What Is
in the Immature Mind
ills publishers' describe F. Scott Fit!-.,
gerald, a youth o( twenty three, as "one
of the m6st interesting new literary
fiuures of thrf year." They base their
estimate tipori his flfst novel, "This
Side of ItondlseV'
The b66k lj rta(hlv different in form
nnd substance ffdrri tho novels of more F

Mr. Fitzgerald rcw-roto it three times
before1 hevf&i satisfied with its form.
If It wcro not for 'this assurance .that
Its struetrire Is" liii result of deliberate
Intent one would" lie Inclined to the
opinion that it had been thrown to
irether with no idea of forrrf whatsoever.
H is episodic. .. Tho chapters are dl-
1C1CU by subheadings nnd encb siibliend

the, ways of flappers from his earliest
joutn to me age of, say, twenty-three.
It is flagrantly Immature, being filled
With the Imnctnlhcs of vnnfli nn nil
Mrts of topics religion, philosophy, lit
croturcj economics nnd women. Hut it
must not be understood that this is
wild by way of unfriendly criticism.
The book could not be true to the life
with which it deals if it had not been
ruunlcR over with immaturity. If Mr.
titzgerald were afi older man one1 would
be inclined to bestow high praise updn
him for his ability to interpret the
youth of the immediate present with so
much sympathetic understanding. As
it Is, the immaturities ard doubtless
those of the author's own mind. Yet
after all a man without unusual gifts
would have found It impossible to in
tcrpret his own generation with the
fidelity which he has achieved.
The scene of the action is in Minneapolis-,
Princeton, N6w YrK, Phila
delphia and Atlantic City. The hero is
graduated from Princeton and a large
part of the novel is devoted to n de
scription of the life of that university,
including the efforts of oile nf tint snn
6f Graver Cleveland to democratize the
cuius, xiierp arc lour girls In the hook
with each of whom the hero falls tn Tnvn
and oift again. There arc cbllege
sprees. There Is the effort of tlifc" hero
to earn a living, and the book ei:ds
with the youth walking to Princeton
because he has not money enough tn
pay his carfare and finally exclaiming,
"I know myself, but thnt Is all." It
is likely to nave great vogue with fic
tion renders of both sexes between thn
ages of sixteen and twenty.

PICTURES OF THE
FLOATING WORLD
By A thy Lowell
"Miss Lowell is indeed a conspicuous figure in American
literature today. In range of technical skill, in the com
mand of all mediums from metrical verse to polyphonic
prose, in the great variety of her subjects, in her wide
sympathies and her democratic spirit, in her sensitiveness
to all manifestations of beauty, and her marvelous com
mand of diction, and in her power to interpret the multi
tudinous aspects of American life and thought she is
unsurpassed. And the joy of it is that she gives no sign of
exhaustion or of having reached the peak of her perform
ance." Professor James W. Tupper in The Sewanee

varied is its conterit. But uhalik.e as these

is the intense feeling for beauty, the sure and
delicate craftsmanship that enables Mr. Gals
worthy to show the reader the thing as he sees
it." New York Timeti. $1.90
