The evident purpose of the "Memoirs
of the Crown I'rlnec of Germany"
(Chnrlrs Scrlbncr'8 Senn) Is te prove
thnt the man Is neither se bed nor
se stupid ns lie has been painted nnd
thnt he Is ready te wenr the crown at
any time. Fer tlili reason. If for no
ether, It Is nn Important historical
document.
There vlll be wide disagreement with
(he former Crown Prince when he snys
thnt Ucfmany wn dragged Inte the
wnr by AuMrlii-IIungnry 'and forced
by the enemy nations te defend her
self. This Is the view that was fos fes
'tered by the Germans through till the
jenrnef the fighting. The former Crown
I'rlnec justifies" It by reporting thnt In
bis travels before the wnr be found
the world arising against Germany,
while the German stntesmen seemed
te be tinawnrc of what wns going en.
He says thnt the enemies of Germany
leek ndvantage of the Serbian crisis te
stnrt the wnr.
When he snys thnt the Germnn
statesmen were unnblc te understand
the psychology of the ether nntiens, he
Is able te cite nbundant evidence te
prove It. Indeed, he says be tried tt
oenvlnre Ven llethmann the day be
fore England declared or thnt the
English would join the French, but
Ven llctlimnnn insisted that the Eng
lish would remain neutral.
Much of the book It devoted te n
criticism of the blunders of the Govern Gevern
ment before nnd during the wnr. It
wns se weak nnd incompetent thnt the
militnry eemmunders had te Interfere
in civil effnlrs te keep things going.
As te the conduct of the war, he
Insists thnt the retrifat nfter the first
battle of the Marne wns n mistake. He
sa.s the Germans bad wen nnd ought
te have pressed their victory. He ex
plains thnt his failure before Verdun
wns due te n snowbterm which delayed
the attack till ten days after the datft
fixed for It, nnd due nlse te the failure
of reserves te arrive when they hail
been premised.
I'nge nfter page is devoted te ex
plaining hew he advised thlR and thar,
but thnt bis ndvlce was rejected. Events
proved thnt whut he wanted done wns
wiser than the thing thnt wns done.
All this Is for the purpose of suggest
ing te the German people that the for fer
mer Crown I'rlnec is much abler than
thebc who were misleading them dur
ing the war. He mys he holds him
self In rendiness te serve his country
whenever it summons him. The mon
archy, according te him, Is what Ger
mnny needs, nnd be favors a monarchy
of the Hritish style.
Incldcntully. he pictures himself as
ii (liitiliu son te him muiuvr m
model husband, suuerinz
because of
lils enforced separation from his wife
nnd children. The book purports te
have been written nt intervals between
the spline of 1010 nnd the nuturan of
1020. It is net explained why a year
nnd a hnlf passed between Its com
pletion and Its publication. Pcrhnps It
wns thought thnt nn cnrller Issue of
it would net have helped the German
monarchists.

The Amalgamated Association , of
Writers of Western Thrillers prebnbly
will give I'hilip Ashton Rollins a vote
of heartfelt thanks for postponing the
publication of "The Cowbej" (Chnrles
Seribner's 8ens until at least 097
"thrillers," teeming with supposed cor
rect "atmosphere," had been put en the
market. Net that Mr. Itulllns has any
nmtlculnr grievance against the "drawing-room
realists" who attempt te put
ihe tang of the West in their stories
while sitting In n steam-heated flat en
Chestnut street.
Ills "Story of the Cowboy" is the
historical recording of the beginning and
growth of that leally typical Amer
ican character, his habits, dress, sports,
slnng, IiIn work; In fnct, everything
teally connected with the cowboy ns
the West really knew him before he
left the ranges for the studies of Holly
wood. "The Cowboy" may disillusion many,
but its pcrusnl will afford an intimate
glimpse of the man of chaps and spurs.
And Mr. Knltin says there ain't no
sieh aulmllc as a "two-gun man." Is
it possible that Zane Grey. Al Terhune
.ind It. M. Bewers and the rest have
just been "kidding" us?
REMY DE GOURMONT WRITES
"NOVEL SANS HYPOCRISY"
"A Virgin Heart." bv the French
iimeiist. poet and critic, ltemy dc Gour-
nient, hns been translated by Aldeus
'Huxley, the eung English purvejer of
.til) luif-sienatn and is published by
XicheliiH I.. Ilreun, who is tanking
nvnllnble for American renders some of
the exotic nnd emtie products of the
foreign literary schools.
This lilghlv readable "novel without
lnpeerlsy" begins like a treatise en
the coleeptera nnd ends like a fairy
sterj . Chapter I discloses the here, nged
forty, watching the amours of two
bugs nnd wondering hew long he can
keep fiem falling in Iec with the hero
ine, nged twenty, the daughter of nn
old friend. Chapter XVIII ends with
the statement: "She bad found in
marringe the attentions whlc.li her na
ture demanded." which In lew of the
intervening 22S pnges of cool eroto ereto erote
uiniiln, seems improbable. One wonders
whether M. de Gourment ever heard
Van nnd Sthcnek sing "Ain't Xnture
Grand?"
It is net n HUely Inpethesis, for
the eemedinns of "The Follies" incline
te tnke passion nil tee trivially. There
is nothing of this nttitudc In "A Virgin
lleiitt," which, though nttentlve te Its
problem te the point of gravity, Is
deftly written, with n lightness of
touch that suggests Geerge Moere, in
Ms second period. Hew appropriate,
by the wny, te hnve Aldeus Huxlc)
as trntixlntiir, nnd hew he must ljm'e
enjoyed his task! His Englishing of
I lie French text Is iiini'Ked with ease
nnd sympathy, though lie dees petmlt
one chnrncter te snv : "Hah!" atoning
for it with nn "It's me" coming from
the proper person. The erj teung
will prebnbly find "A Virgin Henrt"
slightly old-fiislilened, but for middle
nged render, of twenty-live or twenty
il It will prove Intriguing.

"YOUNG BOSWELL
Prof. Tinker's Fascinating Boek
About the Biographer
' of Jehnsen
There, have been Johnsenians for
years who hnve been interested m
everything they could find about' the
Great Chan. If It 'keeps up in the
way it hai begun, there will een be
a considerable company of Heswclllans.
Professer Chauncey Rrewstcr Tinker,
of Yale University, hns been- doing his
best te increase the number of Boswell
inns. He is editing nn edition of Bos Bes
well's letters and te prepare the way
for them he has published "Yeung Bos Bes
well" (Atlantic Monthly Press), a fas
cinating book about the famous biog
rapher. But before Tinker there was n man
who Insisted that the life of .lohnseii
was net a life of Jehnsen at nil. but
n life of Beswcll. He saitl that the
ambitious nnd somewhat vain Scotsman
had conceived the Idea that the best
way te Insure his own fame was te en
twine it with the fame of n man ad
mitted te be distinguished nnd tbnt while
pretending te write the life of that man
he was glorifying himself. As this
can neither be proved nor disproved It
mny stand ns an Interesting nnd enter
taining theory.
Professer Tinker does net indicate
whether he holds It or net.' He does
admire Beswcll, however, and con'
siders him nn underrated man. He hns
had access te a let of hitherto unpub
lished material about him and he finds
evidence te support his theory that Bos Bes
well was one of the most astute men
of his time. He set out in life witn
a distinct purpose and he pursued thnt
end with consummate skill. This hook
exhibit hew be did It. It is full of
interestjng side lights en the literary
mm penueni me ei tne eighteenth ccn
turv. Fer example, the story of Jehn
Wilkes fight for his rliht te a seat In
Parliament is told In connection with
the story of the wny in which Beswcll
mnde the acquaintance of Wilkes. His
most discreet nnd diplomatic letter ask
ing Rousseau for an interview is given,
a letter which wns written with the
deliberate purese of flnttcring the van
ity of the man and drawing him out.
Rousseau succumbed and Beswcll hnd
many cSnversatlens with him. And
it gees for chapter after chapter. The
book Is one which every Johnsenian
will find intensely interesting nnd it
will enlarge the number of Beswcllinns.
AN ENGLISH SCHOOLMASTER
WRITES A FARCE COMEDY
American novelists must envy their
English brethren who hnve only te get
a let of guests in n country beuse and
set them nt cress purposes te make an
entertaining story. Out of every dozen
light British tales six are sure te be
about what happened at a house pnrty.
The Rev. Cyril Alington, headmaster
of Eten College, hns taken the ensy way
te make n humorous story by putting
his characters In a country house and
having part of them pretend te he what
they are net In order te enable the host
te get ns his guest an American girl
with whom he is In love. He calls his
tale "Through the Shadows" (the. Mac
mlllan Company). He has an unmar
ried girl pietend te be married in order
te plav the hostess. He has n brewer
pretend te be a irtired East Indlnn
civil scrvnnt in order net te offend the
mother of the American girl, who is
an ardent prohibitionist. And he has
n ,ieung Englishman pietend te be a
distinguished splrltunllst in order te
induce the mother of the girl te bring her
daughter with her. Then there is nu
mber innlquerader who unwittingly
forces himself into the game of pre
tense. The most remarkable thing Bbeut
the book is thnt It Is written by n
elergjmnn nnd the bend of one of the
creat Enclisb nubile schools. It is as
If the bend of the Hill Scheel of Potts-
town should write a fnrcc coined held- 1
Ing prohibition nnd spiritualism up te
ridicule. Mr. Alington has written Ills
comedy with brightness and spnrkle,
but the wonder Is thnt he should have
done it at all.

The new nliimn will be similar In form

"A FAMILY MAN"
Jehn Galsworthy's Play About
the Brutal, Domineer
ing Male
Jehn Galsworthy has done se much
that was fine nnd sincere and work
manlike thnt if has always seemed n
very real pity that he has allowed, in
almost every Instance, n cry for re
form, a much tee definite "purpose
nnd nn unartlstlc tinge of propaganda
te intrude in his plays.
That fault. It seems te us, cast n
shadow en "The Meb," en "Strife"
and en ".Tustlre." Extraordinarily geed
acting, plus the very definite literary
qualities of Mr. Galswdrthy. often ob
literated thnt defect In stasp presenta
tions, but when the plays were rend and
pondered ever the cvcr-recurrlng flaw
was noticeable.
In "A Family Man" (Charles Serib
ner's Sens), there is almost no preach
ment nnd a surprising preponderance
of downright geed drnmn ever avowed
purpose. Te be sure, the theme may
net be of the most pregnant, nnd the
whole thing clnssed as 'ft study In char
acter rather than a perfectly hewn nnd
shnnrd nlnv. but the whole result Ik a
closely knit, unerringly .written and
thought provoking dramn, built around
who Is better known en this !a of the At
lantic ns a playwrlsht. The tranttatlen Is
authorized from the German and Is by U K.
Thels. who nnntrlhuta n nehelarlv Intreduc

showing the "breaking away of young
women from the old order." nnd ngnln
ns presenting "nn English mlddlc-clnHS
family disrupted by the revolt of wom

course, "A Family Man" can be classed
as doing both these things, but .there

exponents of the Newer Womnnheod

H. G. Wells' New Nevel
The Secret Places
of the Heart
F. P. A. says, "Read 'The Secret Places of the
Heart' of H. G. Wells and found it full of deep wisdom
and the sort of candeur I se admire in him."
Exploration into the heart of that lnvnhle. Iirillinnt
philanderer. Sir Richmond, has indeed brought forth all Wells' rich philosophy
daring ideas and power te portray in eloquent language winning and convinc
ing characters. The encounter en the meter trip with V. V. is unique ameiu
literary romances, besides giving a charming picture of the ideal girl of the
New Age.
As the Raleigh News and Observer comments, "The admirable sketch of
Miss Grammont (V. V.) is a distinct tribute te the best sort of intelligent, cour
ageous, idealistic American woman whom Mr. Wells quite obvieuslv and cor
rectly admires."
