GOOD NEW BOOKS FOR
Lothrop Stoddard Finds a
New Menace te Civilization
WITH the cheerful audacity of youth
Lothrop Stoddard has set out te
destroy the clvlll.ntlen of Europe and
America, If he were approaching the
age of seventy years Instead of the ngc
of forty he would net be se cheerful
about It. The enjy way I can explain
his cemplncency Is by the assumption
that he does net take himself seriously.
He Is the son of Jehn L. Stoddard,
who used te go about the country de
livering Illustrated lectures en the beau
ties of foreign lands. Men nnd women,
.specially women, went te hear the
elder Stoddard by the thousand. It is
remotely possible Hint the son grew
se wenry of hearlnsr'nbeut the splendid
civilization of Europe nnd the magnifi
cent monuments which it had erected
In the. shape of cnthedrnls and bridges
and art galleries nnd macadam reads,
tUnt in a moment of desperation he de
cided that Jt would be best te de away
with the whole thing, and he bet about
finding hew If could be done.
At nny rate, he hns written three
books setting forth three menaces te our
civlllnntlen. The first wns "The Rising
Tide of Celer," In which the develop
ment of the colored rnces was exam
ined nnd In which the conclusion wns
renched that these rnces nre Incrcnslng
In numbers nnd In power nnd In knowl
edge se rapidly that if they continue
at the present rate they will be able
In the net distant future te de what
they will In the world.
Then en the chance that the colored
rncen should net be able te succeed
alone In wrecking the things which his
father talked about, Mr. Stoddard
looked around te find another force
which might be able te de it. He
found It In the Moslem power. There
upon he wrote another book en "The
New World of Islam." In which he dis
cussed the growth of the Mohammedan
power. The religion of Islam Is pro
fessed by whites and blacks nnd by nil
the intervening shades. It is the bend
of unity which rnn held them te fight
In n common cause. The religion hnd
been prepngnted In the beginning by
the sword nnd there seemed te be no
rensen nppnrcnt te Mr. Stoddard why
it should net ngnin be prepngatcd in the
same way.
,tnrf note In make the destruction
e modem cifiiirtien certain he has
found a third menace en the apparent
theory tha the rule of three times
and out trill tre7.
H
IS third niennv.e is what he cnlis
the Under Mnti. He hns cxplnincd
in "The Bevelt Against Civilization
fCliarles Scribner's Sens) hew the
t'ndcr Mnn is te de it all. By Under
Mnn he spells it with capitals he does
net mean the under deg, but the man
of inferior intellect who ennnet ap
preciate or comprehend the refinements
of civilization nnd wlie revolts against
the complexities of modern society.
This Under Man is Increasing in
numbers se rapidly that" Mr. Stoddard
professes te be persuaded that he will
ultimately rebel ngarnst the domination
of the minority of superior Intellectual
nbilitv and force society bnck te the
primitive stage from which It has
emerged by slew and painful processes.
He reaches this conclusion after n
study of the operation nf the law of
heredity as Illustrated by the applica
tien of the Blnct test te the American
soldiers In the draft and te ether groups
of men nnd women. s.
He says thnt the race has net im
proved since it emerged from barbar
ism, and that what has been mistaken
for improvement has been only the race
expressing itself under improved con
ditions. The Inherent qualities of the
race remain the same from generation
te generation. As civilization has nd
vnnced there has been n tendency for
the capable te mate with the capable
and the Incapable te mate with the in
capable. They have transmitted their
.enpacity and incapacity te their off
spring. As society became complex the

capable were segregated in one group,
always n smnll one, nnd the incapable
In another group. The cmcrgence of n
member of the incnpnble group through
seme trick of lnheritnncc from his ew'n
group into the cnpnble group is becom
ing rnrer nnd rnrcr. Mr. Stoddard
cites figures from English lnvestlgnters
which he insists prove that the devel
opment of cnpables in the incapable
group in Enslnnd is much less frequent
new than it was fifty years age.
And he intisls that at the capable
arc prone te race suicide, their num
ber is bound te decline.
THEN the incapables will have their

He nnus in tne

zation in chnrge of the minority of the
cnpables. '1 he revolt linn bccnica ey
incapables. by unbalanced canablcs nnd
by capauies misieii ey uiB.iib ...c.
Mr. Stoddard is forced te this con
clusien by the logic of his argument,
but many observers who may fellow him
In his application of the law of heredity
will part company with him here. They
will insist thnt there tins Deen no mass
revolt in Itussin. thnt 'Kthe mnss of
the Russian people hnd their wny they
would drive the Bolshevists from
power nnd set up a freer form of gov
ernment in closer hnrmeny with thnt
which prevnlln in the demecrntic coun
tries of the west. It mny be nrgucd
thnt their failure te de this is proof of
Mr. Stoddard's theory thnt the in

Is ripe, nnd thnt when thnt time nr
rlve even the Bolshevists will be driven
from power te make room for nn even
mero bnrbnreus form of government.
But It is futile te nrgue en this mnt
ter, for tlmltussinn experiment hns been
In progress less than live, yenrs, nnd
thnt is tee short n time te justify njiy
one in making a generalization.
The catastrophe, which Mr. Stoddard
foresees can be averted, according te
his view, only by the. application of
the theories of eugenics and by the de
velopment of larger families by the
cnpnble In order thnt. the proportion of
cnpnbles mny become se Inrge thnt it
will be nble te dominate society in the
future as It has In the past.
Mr. Stoddard's book is interesting

THE GRA VE AND GA Y
"PIECES OF HATE"
HeyWoed Breun'a Volume of
Essays Is Better Than
Its Punning Title
The outside of Heywood Breun's col
lection of essays published under the
title of "rieccs of Hate" (Geerge II.
Deran Company) is ns different from
that of the nvernge book ns Is the in
side. The covers are buff paper embossed
checkcr-benrd fashion in fifteen squares,
alternately smooth nnd cress-hatched.
The title is embossed In the smooth
sqiinre nt the top, the name of the
author is in the center square and the
trade mark of the publisher is at the
bottom. The back Is maroon cloth, with
the title In jilt, nnd the top of the pages
Is colored In a shade of red which an
expert might call cerise. ?se one wttn
nny skill In the use of words would
describe it ns a dainty volume. There
Is a ruggedness about It as though Mr.
Breun hnd asked his publishers te
nveid making it pretty.
Xew this Is net. an attempt te damn
the book by confining comment te its
externals. It is merely nn indirect way
of snylng that the reader who is pleased
only by the dainty and the pretty will
net be plensed by what Mr. Breun hns
written. There is n directness nbeut
this man when he cheeses te be direct
Hiat must be ns disconcerting te these
te whom he'is addressing himself ns was
the directness of the nncient prophet
who pointed his finger nt King Dnvld
nnd said: "Theu nrt the man."
The volume contains forty-two es
says, all of which hnve seen previous
publication in dally, weekly or monthly
periodicals. Many of them nre en topics
of transient Interest, but Mr. Breun
handles them all in n way te make
them readable even te these te whom
the event that provokes them was un
known. He combines with n genuine
humor sound philosophy of life nnd n
iwholesemeness of outlook which provide
the snlt that preserves the snver of
what he writes. Seme of his enthu
siastic admirers insist thnt they see
in him the glimmerings of genius. If
genius be clarity of thinking, intcl
llectunl poise, the nbillty te write sim
ple and direct English, then he has it.
But If genius be next deer te mndness,
os hns sometimes been njaintnlncd, there
,is none of the younger writers who is
farther from it.
BLOSSOM OF ROMANCE
FLOWERS IN "SAREEL"
The blossom of romance still con
tinues te grew en the old-fashioned
highwnys. where It can be plucked by
the novelist who echevvs the stultify
ing sultriness of the Freudinn conser censer conser
vntery if he or she se wills. Edith Dart
has taken one of these simple flowers of
natural love glorified ns hrr theme in
"Snreel" (Beni & Liveright).
Sareel really Sara Hill Is n "work
house foundling bended out te a crusty,
flint-hearted country woman and her
easy-going, spineless husband. Here
en the English moors the girl passes
years In uncomplaining drudgery until
romance enters in the ferir: of n light
henrted student en n holiday. The boy
gees nway, apparently forgetting peer
Sareel. who suddenly is lifted from her
bondage by mnrrlngc with nn ideallsti
cally minded author. Then in the midst
of her new-found hnpplness she learns
ngaln of her first sweethenrt nnd rushes
off te hint. An attnek of brain fever
fellows, nnd she recovers te find herself
doubting tl.c strength of her first love
en her part as well as en that of the
youth. "
Being old fashioned In its structure,
"Parcel" has an "everybedy-hnppy"
ending.
The. eharactematlens of the story, es
pecially (hat of the penny-grasping
country woman, nre excellent. The boeV
is net weighty, but it is refreshing nnd
cntertnining.
