TH A MAX te be judged by whnt he
rends at least by what he reads
In public? Or Is that "a question net
te be naked"? In riding about en com
muters' trains nnd ethers In America
nnd In England, have noticed n con
trast In the nature, of the reading et
the nvcrnce passenger. A 5 o'clock
suburban In America Is a wilderness of
the afternoon papers, which flourishes
as the leaves of Vnllomhresa for four
or five stations nnd then dies down into
tnlk. On trains fet for n longer jour
ney our magazines of entertainment bud
forth, making n chair enr n parterre of
color. IJut rarely does mnn or wemnn
read n bound book; te open such is te
proclaim oneself "n highbrow," which
nppcnrs te be about as low a state as
mnn can fnll te. In Knglnnd the daily
newspapers de net nppcar te be se com
monly read en trnlns at least of the
better class ; nnd en longer journeys
substantial books are often rend with
apparent assiduity for your English
man would rnther read n dull book than
adventure conversation with n strnngcr.
On n journey from Plymouth te Lon Len Lon
eon a few yenrs nge, I counted n round
dozen of my fellow passengers rending
bound hooks, and having the curiosity
of a Christopher Merley In this particu
lar, I succeeded in ascertaining that
most of them wcre novels, nnd moreover
current necIs of the nature nnd con
tents of which I remain lmpenltently
ignorant.
BEFORE receiving' Douglas Gold Geld
ring's "Reputations" "te be re
viewed," an advance circular came te
me which whetted my curiosity. at
seems that the book has "created a sen
sation" ; it has been ncrlmonleusly nt
tneked nnd vigorously defended ; it hns
become in consequence that enviable
thing, "n brisk teller"; authentic nit nit
thership hns nlwajs its foundations in
the seller. And 1 naturally leuked into
"Who's Who." wherein are gathered,
together with the fnnieus, be many te
whom, en inquiry, the owls of oblivion
will shortly echo back "Who-Who"!
And beheld ; the nnme of Gelding. unlike
Hint of Abu-ben-Adhcm, did net lend
the rest: It was net there. An Oxford
mnn, nn editor, Ritbediter nnd publisher
eE s-everal journals, detunet or still sur
wving, the nuther of "n very charm
ing book of poems entitled 'Streets,' "
of books of travel, of a nlay and thirty-
one yenrs et nge nnd net In "Whe'b
Who" ! Our suspicions ns te the do de
rayed internnl condition of Dcnmnik
must be extended te England, particu
larly whpn wc gleam, ns we may from
"Reputations," that Mr. Gelding is nn
intcrnntlennl seelnlist in constitutional
disagreement with Mr. Lloyd Geerge
nnd severely critical of Mr. Wells when
we hear that Mr. Goldring is "secre
tary of the Clnvte movements," which
wise peeple will knew nil about, but ns
te which a humbld reviewer of books
only books must confess te n supreme
icnernnce. 1 have net been nble te
Hernna tencther much mero about. Mr
Geldnne: for net being in "Who's
Who," there is no record of his favorite
snort. Frem "Itcnutntiens." however,
t should Infer that It is net war, unless
it he carried en by way of. reviews.
"DEPUTATION'S" is a well-written
Xv rolleetien of papers, less en mat
ters et moment than en things of the
moment. The appreciation el the late
James Elrey Flecker is timely, inter
esting and. allowing for its contempo
raneousness nnd the wholly creditable
bias of friendship, just and fair.
"RcputaTiOns" has in if much wit and
an abundance et clever hitting which
one might enjoy the better were he
nearer the ropes. Whether Mr. Gold Geld
ting has really udmlnlsteied the knock
out blew te the reptuatiens of several
of his small novelist victims, it is quite
Impossible te soy at this distance. Due
te the above-mentioned American habit
of rending the newspaper Instead of
contemporary miner fiction in which
we nrc perhaps net much further from
lenlity I de net rind myself bristling
with 'intelligence, when I hear of "the
author of "1'arr, ' " nor de I feel sym
pathetically exasperated with the
"Outburst en Oissing." I gather from
Mr. Gelding that his friend. Mr. D. II.
Lawrence a poet whom T knew nnd
admire for much that is sound nud
vitnl is the only immediately con cen con
temperarv writer of novels who can be
safely accepted. And I am in nn mood
te 'argue the question. I nm
willing te accept the pungent criticisms
nf 'Messrs. Mnckenslc. Cannen nnd
Wnlpele, the three "Georgian novel
ists" whom Mr. Goldring singles out for
his especial censures, and I find the
pnper en "Clever Nevels" very pleas
ant rending, like n book of travels into
tnme heartily unimportant ceuntrv
.. liitlmr I should never care te go. I
suppose that the sundry people who are
mawled in this paper they nml their
friends must feel bnrt nbeut It Hut
it seems nfnr off nnd trivial te ene de
prived ef-tlie inv nf living in the pur
lieus of 'literni y Londen, one who.
.mm cover, would rather rend semcthl'ig
else than tbiid-rnte fiction.
APPARENTLY the) take these
things quite Korieuslv in England
Weie it nnywheie else we might be
templed te call it provincial. However,
Mr. Goldring has some happy phni'-es:
"A fringn of distinguished dull dogs
who wmte hooks" ; "a deafening silence
broken nnlv bv the sound of the white
rabbits of criticism scuttling te covet":
"A w i Iter is never se much n mnn nnd
a hrether (or a woman and u sister)
ns when he for she) is bchmlng like n
fend": and the positively hrillinnt les les
ignnlien nf Mr. Arneld Rennett n "the
Gorden Selfiedge of English letters":
nnd if tnu de net knew what Hint
menus, kind-hearted render. It is worth
n journey te Londen te find out. Mr
Goldring' hns n plensnnt little sterv of
an interview with Mr. Wntts-Dunteii .
nf a momentary undignified contact with
the great Geerge Tternnrd : nnd there Is
a delightful anecdote nf nn Irish Hen

in which we hearlih enner He ev
.entk that however of Me Snoen.
Mr Sitwcll anil nthei'. Me agree
with Minohed. nnrenthctlcnlly 1he
mailer being thus best disposed nf. Hint
Swinburne is n miner poet He does
net snv It. but we Infer tbnt ma ler
poets enlv wiite in the present. How
ever, he has some creditable likings,
about which be Is deprecalnrv for cer
tain old things Vieterinti With the
ceurnge nf venth he defends certain
"low tastes," as he calls them, of bl
own and of elbeis. nmeng theni n liking
for detective steiles, for books of trawl
-nun wonders whj nud for the revue
(we call tbnt cert nf thing "musical"
comedy). Mr. Goldring even tukea up
the cudgels In defense of the chorus girl
nnd justifies the ndmlrntien which
youth hceemlnclv feels for her sed
uleus Industry in her "difficult nrt,"
her geed form in it, se te speak, and
her ether geed points although this
Inst hnrdly seems the word. Hest of
all I like the enticing little essay, "Itcd

f. R. Eneck. C. E.. F. It. G. S., hns
written nn Impertnnt book en "Spanish
America," devoting two pertly volumes
te its remnnce, renlity nnd future. Mr.
Eneck has tvrittert n number of spccinl
ized volumes en vnrleus countries of
Lntin America, nnd these hnve given
him. through the necessnry preparation
nml experience, a wide background nnd
n deep knowledge of the subject His
nssets he hns turned te the best nf nd
vnntngc in the summarization and in
terpretntien found between the covers
of the two volumes. His previous
studies have been both geographical and
historical, ns is evidenced In his earlier
volumes. "The Andes nnd the Amn
yen." "Peru," "Mexico" and "Eeun "Eeun
der." The purpose of his new book is
twofeld: it nfferds n bread survey of
uie i.uiin-rtmcricen countries, with the
color end interest which se strongly
ciinraercmes this halt eE the new
worm, and it eners in some measure n
detailed study of the rczien ns con
cerns whnt the nuther has elsewhere
termed a "science of humanity," by
which he means a science of corporate
uie, wnose mam lacters are topo
graphical, occupational or industrial,
and ethical or ethical-economic. Mr.
Eneck, developing this thesis, njse takes
into ncceunt the English-speaking
countries' new responsibilities toward
foreign Innds, responsibilities that hnve
grown enormously in the Inst few yenrs,
and which, se far ns this country is con
cerned, since the promulgation of the
Menree Mectrine a century nge, hnve
always been very pertinent in connec
tion with our Seuth and Central Ameri
can neighbor stntes. His tinnl chapter
is n summary nnd nn interpretation of
his views en these responsibilities. His
trentment is mninly nleng gcegrnphlcnl
lines, which mnkes for unity of develop
ing the nnrrntive and signifiennce of
sepnrnte countries. The book is well
illustrated.
Mr. Eneck is nn English evpleier and
publicist, but his bonk is net written
from an exclusively Iiritish angle. The
author of another very impertnnt bonk
en Spanish -America. Jehn Helladny
Latnne. Ph. D LL. M., writes his nu nu
theritntive survey from nn American
viewpoint. "The United States nnd
Seuth America" is n very impressive
piece of research and thinking: ns might
be expected from the professor of
American history and dean of the col
lege faculty of Jehns Hepkins Univer
sity. His book is an amplification of
n briefer volume some years age by the
Jehns Hepkins Press en similar lines,
but the events of the last twenty years
have necessitated considerable aug
mentation nnd some chnnged lews. His
nmplilied volume deserves te be rlnssed
with his "The United Stntes ns n World
Power," nnd "Frem Isolation te Lead
ership." It is essentially a political
history of Latin -American countries be.
ginning with the time when the colonies
started te revolt against Eurepcnr
nile. Further, H is an authoritative
statement of the diplomatic relations of
the United Stntes with Latin America
from Hie beginning te the present time.
Except for the previous book by the
same author, new out of print, the ma

By H. G. Wells
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
E. F. Edgett in the Bosten Transcript:
In his entire career Mr. Wells has never written a mere Im
portant book than this. It is a superlatively fascinating piece
of writing, in all its details and as a whole, and it proves that
the best historian is the man with imagination who has created
or who is capable of creating, real literature.
Jesse Lee Bennett in the Baltimore Evening Sun:
There are no words tee great te use in praising these
books . There arc no words strong enough te use in urglnjr

mind is king of modern writers . . . jU8t think of one thlnfrl

Man and ending with the League of Nations! l,,repus or APe
