TRAGEDY OF THE
SUZERAINTY IDEA
Jolin Galsworthy Shotvs What
Happens to a Domineer
ing Man
If one chooses to read between the
lines in John Gnlsuorthy's latest novel,
"In Chancery," ono can find there a
most subtle commentary on the British
empire. The book might be called a
study of the Kngllsh divorce laws and
much could be found In it to Justify this
description. Ronmcs Forsyte, the mem
ber of Mr. Galsworthy's famous fumlty
who appeared in "A Man of Fortune,"
Is the hero of this book. It will be re
called by the readers of "A Man. of
Fortune" and "Indian Summer of a
Forsyte," that the wife of Snomes had
'eft him after the architect of his house,
with whom she wiih in love, hnil been
killed In an automobile accident. This
was twelve years before "In Chancery"
opens. Soames has begun to want an
heir to his property and he has fallen
In love with tho daughter of a French
restaurunt-keeper, who occupies one of
the family houses In Holio. Hi had not
divorced his wife when he could have
done so and now years later when the
collection of evidence Is Impossible he
finds It difficult. His Rister, married to
a dissolute man, and finally deserted by
him for a stage iianeer, seeks to divorce
her husband. She sues for restoration
of her martial rights, confident that
the man will refuse to return to her.
Hut he does return uud offprs himse'f
to her and thus under the Kngllsh law
makes It Impossible for her to get her
divorce. Thus far we have tho divorce
problem.
The Forsyte characteristics come to
the rescue of tho deserted wife and she
decides to keep the husband who belongs
to her just ns nil the Forsytes hnng on
to everything they get hold of until they
wish to cxehanje It for something they
regard as wortli more. Soames finds
this force working In hlm when he t-ccks
an Interview with his wife to arrange
for n divorce.
The artist cousin of Soames, the son
of old Jolyon Forsyte, of "Indian
Summer of a Forsyte," is trusteo of a
bequest which his father had left to the
deserting wife, and he sees the woman In
order to discover her wishes about the
divorce. He Is friendly and sympathetic
and finds himself attracted by the
woman's beauty. He offers to do what
ever he can to prevent her husband
from forcing her to return to him. In
the course of time the two fall in love
nnd through this Soames finally Is
enabled to get his divorce and to marry
tho French girl. Then comes (he
tragedy that overwhelms th man who
like the British nation insisted oil his
rights ns a suzerain. He had wanted n
son. HU wife gives hint it daughter
snd under such circumstances that she
can never bear nny more children. The
artist cousin, who has never In all his
life tried to force nny one to act against
his or her will, already owns the house
which Soames has built for himself ; he
gets the wife of Soames and she hcurs
a son for him to take the ploce of a son
bv another wife who had been killed in
South Africa.

NEW BOOKS ON
THE GREAT WAR
Ambassador Page Tells of
Italy's PartLutlendorff on
the High Command
Tlmmns Nelson 1'HKC. wartltno nm--3(lor
of the United Stiitcs to the
, Qulrjo il. dlstlnRUlshea novelist ami
man of nfTnlrs, tells for tho first time
om,,rolinnlv.v 011(1 lltlthoritntlvcly
the narrative of Italian participation' In
the great war. He culls his important
volume "Italy and the World Wnr."
The heroic and effective role of Italy
has not been expatiate.! upon in any
i.ni i,ui,..rtn nulillslied In this country. '
The wibjcct Is ono of which most'
America,,, are rather lnt Vrt,
Italy piayra a inuoi. .u.,ii..uu , -
und deserve the greatest credit in the
Eiimmlnir un of victory. The break ol
the Qulrinal with the Triple Alliance,
delayed till the spring of 11)15, tho dis
aster of 1D17 at Caporctto nnd the
final magnificent stand on the l'lave,
which forced the Austrian commanders
to seek a truco with Marshal Dias
nojrly a month before Hlndenburg was
reduced to uslf urmlstlce terms of Mar
shal Focb on November 11, 1018 these
represent about all tnc incis uini uuv
btuud In American consciousness ot
Italy's portlcipatinn. Ambassntlor
Page, however, shows that there was
much more. His official status and
his ready sympathy with Italian cul
ture and Ideals have made him pe
culiarly well equipped to write this
book. Ills first-hand knowledge en
ables him to interpret many of the
secret or privuto matters which are
bound up in the subject. Italy's earlier
neutrality Is a subject ou which many
persons aro uninformed ; Mr. Page tells
the lull story oi it. nu uusuiycb ii"
statesmanship from the once frequently
made charge ot Intcresteduess. Mr.
Pnce.'s book is written in a singularly
clear and charming style.
Another phase of Italy's war record
is contained In "The Story of the
American ltcd Cross In Italy." Charles
M. llakcwcll. a member of the commis
sion, tells how the American Bed Cross
made quick nnd effective response to
the needs of Ituly in the distress that
followed hard on the heels of the Capo
rctto disaster. During the Italian cam
paigns, when not only the major part
of Austria's and Hungary's effectives
were launched, but also many trained
crak divisions of the German army,
tho American lied Cross performed yeo
man service. F.utire cities were built
for tho accommodation of refugees from
the Piave regions and from Vcuetln,
while tho enemy advanced toward the
heart of Italy. Tho story of this super
human work is capitally told. Thcro Is
also an abundance of material relating
to the establishment of relief centers,
canteens, asylums for women and chil
dren, largo hospitals for those wounded
In the field, and medical centers fur
juvenile and civilian relief.
F. A. Holt has translated "The Gen
eral Staff nnd Its Problems," u big
two-volume work by General von Lu
dendorff, which Is of unique nature and
value. It is not a personal record or
history, written after the war, but a
collection of officiul documents, which
not only cover the actual period of the
World War, but go back into the years
of preparation us far as 11)01). This
collection of secret, confidential, candid
nnd portentous communications throws
a light that nothing else could upon
the most importnnt events of the con
flict and upon Germany's final defeat.
No personal apology, memoir, attempt
of a fallen leader IU reinstatement, but
tho unvarnished presentation of world
changing history in the makiug, the
book bears the subtitle, "The History
nf the Itclations Between the High
Command and tho (lennun Imperial
(Sovernment ns Bevealcd by Official
Documents."
Among the original and contemporary
documents Included ore tho report of the
conference between Dethmnnu-IIollweg,
Uindenhurg ami I.udendnrff at Pless,
when the unrestricted Nubmurinc cam
paign was finally decided upon ami the
violent letters exchanged between the
chancellor, Hlndenburg, Ludendorff nnd
the Foreign Office, revealing the inter
nal difficulties of Germany lu 11110. The
matter of American participation, as
the German uuthoritiesjviewed nnd dis
ensved It, is gone into thoroughly. The
collection contains the program of the
German military authorities on such
important subjects os the food question,
the coal ami truusport question, the
production ot nitrogen, mercantile ship
building, schemes for helping soldiers
nnd coilors during and ufter tho wur,
for patriotie instruction to the troops,
for the hnmlling of the press and for the
suppljlng of information to the public.
Moreover, the suggestions nnd directions
issued by I.udeudorff show plainly
tlmt throughout the latter part of the
war he was the real dictator of Ger
many. In his preface ho states that when
he published his earlier book, "My War
Memories," he had already determined
to make public "records bearing on the
subject. In order to enlighten the world
as to the thoughts nnd notions of the
supremo command, Its sphere ot labor
and dealings with the imperial chan
cellor" nnd with the further object of
hringlng home "to every German that
a pence of understanding was unattain
able" and of revenllng "how much was
kept secret from the supremu command
by the imperial government."

person, .feminist nnd nationalist, with
i oncciMUK iuiiii in ncr niavir ucritiAJ
tion nnd destiny nnd an abiding faith In
ner own intiividuallt.v.. This is a most
closely observed study of a feminine
temperament set In n story rich in ac
tion and personalities.
"Knbiety" Is another book by a
Polish novelist of brilliance and In
digenous reputation, which has seeped
through the intclllgenlsu of Kurope und
is filtering over the Atlantic. The
author is Sofja Hyglcr-Nalkowska, nnd
llko Hcymont's book, the story is one
of feminine temperament against n
background of tbe racial and national
consciousness of Poland.
The title, literally translated, means
"Women." It, too, is penetrating in
its searching of psychology of woman
kind, its Interpretation of temperament
ana us power of projection or situa
tions and characterizations. An emi
nent critic of Slavic literature. Fcld
man. declares of It that "Marie Bash
klrtscff's work, styled Europe's discov
ery of the feminine soul, becomes child's
piny." The heroine Is moody, In a
big sense and wny, capricious in a fem
ininely charming and intriguing man
ner .and ever and always rich in per
sonality. The writer is candid to the
point of outspokenness Bhe has the
"punch" nnd the questing Independence
of the Intellectual rebel. She rebels
against set forms and against conven
tional viewpoints. Her novel is causing
much comment In Kurope, nnd if it is
widely read on this side doubtless the
sensation will be duplicated.
Louis Couperus, whose "Small
Souls" and other works have won n dis
tiuct and rather distinguished following
in the Unitd States through the ad
mirable translations of Alcxnnder Teix
'era de Mattos, Is the author of "The
Inevitable," n novel of cosmopolitan
life in Home nnd tbe French Itivlcrn.
The heroine is a young Dutch buronebs.
n divorcee, who eventually through force
of interesting circumstances Is forced
to come back to her husband, after her
quest for enjoyment of her court-won
freedom. The story hns nil the re
llnnmont: nf stvle which innkes Couperus
so chamilng. nil the Insight Into human
motives under stress and strain that
mnkes him so sound nnd realistic, let
though he is n careful realist, he Is not
wanting in romance also. His blending
of the two manners of fiction mnkes a
novel of genuine artistic merit.
The snme writer's "The lour" re
veals hlm again as the distinguished styl
ist and more of the romanticist. It is a
story of ancient Kgypt, relating the
trip of n sort of Cook's tourist party
throunh the Nile country in the reign
of Tiberius. It is nil very delightfully
done and Mr. de Mattos has made a
chnrmlng translation.

Who has made n new translation of
Job
NEW VERSION OF
THE BOOK OF JOB
Dr. Jastrow, Who Condemns
the Old Translations, Of
fers One of His Own
Dr. Mnrris Jastrow, Jr.. of the TTnl
versify of Pennsylvania, hns made n
rctranslation of the book of Job from
the most accurate texts atallublc, which
is likely to be regarded for years to
come as the best version extant of the
famous piece of literature. Dr. Jas
trow is an original scholar of high
standing. He has devoted years to the
study of the book and of the Vnrlous
Hebrew nnd Greek texts of it. And he
has applied to his translation nn in
formed intelligence with what other
n'liohirs nre likely to regard as most
ftttlsfaorory results.
The translation in the King Jnmcs
version of the Bible is condemned by
hlm for its many innccuracies. He ad
mits that it is an English classic, but
denies that it hns merit us n transla
tion. He commends the trnnOntion
made by the American Bnntist Publica
tion Society in 11)1.1 because It has
gone farther than others In adopting
corrections where the text wns mani
festly corrupt. The translation made
by the Amerlcnn Jewish Publication
Society in 11)1(1 docs not satisfy him. for
it is frankly bused on the Mnssoretic
text. As a translation of that text it
is good, says Dr. .Tastjrow, but he says
that It is hopelessly defective, a it
deliberately ignores the results of mod
ern critical study. His own transla
tion is bused on the results of the study
of the original texts by the ablest schol
ars. Dr. Jastrow disagrees with both Pro
fessor Moulton and H. M. Knl'on. who
have asserted that Job is a drama. Mr.
Kallen hns written a book intended to
prove that Job is a Greek drama written
under the influence of Greek culture.
He has made a version of it arranged in
Greek dramatic form that he inists jus
tifies his conclusion. Dr. Jastrow, how
ever, Insists that the book Is n sympo
sium nnd not n drama. The history of
Its production precludes the acceptance
of the drama theory.
Nearly 200 pages of Dr. Jastrow's
book aro devoted to nn examination Into
the history of the grent literary master
piece. Then about nn equal number
of pages is devoted to the translation
with copious explanatory notes. It
should be in the library of every lover of
literature.
