New Fiction for Varied Tastes : Dante and Keats Anniversary Two Eincolns, Abraham and Joe, Figure as Author and Character Novelist of Cape Cod Writes New Story and # the Great President Appears in Another By Samuel Abbott ttAXtr?K?. THH 1M.OWFI0BWT. ?y Joseph O. Lincoln. Published by ?>. Appl?ton A Co. $8. ?THB PATH OB? THH KINO. By John Buehtn, Published by Oeorg? H. Doran Company. ?1.90. JOB LINCOLN adds a good half dozen Cape Codders to his list of invented people who are faithful images of types to be found on the long arm of Massachu? setts. Joe has said recently that he has twisted geography and jumbled names of places in mapping the Cape, Cod of his novels. Those ?f his readers who know the Cape from Prov incetown to the Falmouths are willing to stand up in court and testify under oath that they can set down many of his delightfully salty people on soil within a mile or two of their habitat in their creator's imagination?actual ground upon and against which he pic? tures them. Galusha the Magnificent, Joa Lin? coln's contribution to the summer book tide of the year, is built on lines rather different from the modela of his other books. In it one finds a little group ?f men and women delightfully human, quick of wit and action, inquisitive of their neighbors, magnifying their own domestic affairs in a speech as pro? vincial as the bayberry of their fields and dunes. The clan feeling, so evi? dent in all Joe Lincoln's stories, is es? pecially marked in Galusha the Mag? nificent. The plot develops cleavages and gusts of gossip, some of the latter unfriendly, but the deep mood of brotherly affection that seems to en? fold like a mist the gauntly individual members of any Cape Cod village family, holds and saves in the end Galusha Bangs, archaeologist in search of health, arrives in East Wellmouth on a night storm. Ralph Pulcifer, the town financier, in motley business ventuies, picks him up on the road and drops him on the porch of the Restabit Inn, closed and desolate, from which Galusha slumps through the mud to the home of Miss Martha Phipps. From that moment on to the end of the novel the Phipps house is Galusha's abode and the seat of his innocent campaign to right things of the pocketbook and the heart. For there is a bad" mess in the little town?the wreckage of a development company left in many homes in the form of worthless stock. ?And there are two young people who love and desire to wed, but are thwarted by a father who is convinced that he is guided by the spirit of his dead wife. It is our conviction that a good story is ruined in advance, for a possible reader, through the confidences of a critic or reviewer who confides the sub? stance, the meat of its plot. The mo? ments of suspense and surprise lose their glamour if one is able to antici? pate them. And so we leave Galusha the Magnificent for you to open and enjoy to the full. It is a novel ad? mirably planned, with more than one chapter marked by the imprint of Joe Lincoln at his tiptop of natural mirth. The pages on the spiritualistic seance at the lighthouse* are undeniably good, full of chuckles. They should be read aloud in a company that relishes healthy American fun. A day or two ago, while at lunch with a British novelist, we mentioned John Buchan and his work. The talk immediately skipped over into the field of romantic fiction, especially that of the sixteenth and seventeenth cen? turies. Buchan showed clearly In his Greenmantle, a story of the late war, that he could turn the trick cleverly when the thing required was a yarn spiced with high adventure, and now he hands to us his The Path of the King, a study of the Jrek of a trait, if so it may be called, over the cen? turies. His theme is not one of rein? carnation or strictly of inheritance; if piHiigiiiniiiiifiiiRiyiiBiii'Win^B^"1811! 1 THE LURE OF ? I THE MEDITERRANEAN | K?

Modern Socialism New Tactics Suggested for Radicals THK LARGER SOCIALISM. By Bertram Benedict. Published by the Maomlllan Company. 12.60. THE theories and methods of Amer? ican Socialists are thoroughly overhauled in this book. The author evidently favors a radical modi? fication of the existing political and economic order and Its replacement by some form of cooperative common? wealth. But he is not willing to accept the gospel according to Marx without serious reservations. He feels that some of Marx's theories have been dis? proved by the course of events, while others are Utopian, so far as their application to the realities of present day American life is concerned. Mr. Benedict io even more skeptical about the efficacy of the American So? cialist party as an agency of social reconstruction. The party, in his opinion, "seems to labor under ap? palling ignorance as to the nature of most Americans." It probably does not contain "sufficient material ... to fill efficiently merely the ten Cabinet positions." He ascribes this weakness of the American Socialist party to varions causes: An undue preponderance of foreign-born members, excessive dog? matism in its interpretation of con? temporary events, inability to compre? hend the psychology of the American masses and to cope with the older parties in their mastery of political technique. Among the suggestions about new tactics which Mr. Benedict offers to the radical groups in this country one deserves mention on account of its originality. He proposes that a tour of American Christian Socialists, in? cluding as many clergymen as possible, should be arranged bo that the people might realize that Socialism is not necessarily an exotic importation. One suspects that such a tour would dis? credit the clergymen more than it would raise the prestige of the So? cialist party. The author believes that the mate? rialistic features of the Socialist doc? trine should be kept in the background and its ethical appeal stressed In ad? dressing the American masses. "So? cialism in this larger sense," he says, "is primarily concerned with the kind of man produced under a socialistic instead of under a capitalistic order of society, rather than merely with the material contrast between those orders." Bits About Books Wells and the Best Books One chapter in The Salvaging of Civ? ilization answers the question "What would be the equivalent for the modern world of such a book as the Bible was for the ancient world 7" Mr. Wells ad? mits the virtues of the Bible and its importance in the modern world. But, i "Its very virtues created its llmita I tions. It served men so well that they ! made a canon of it and refused to alter ? it further." " j Mr. Wells suggests the sort of books and laws that are necessary to form I new standards. He mentions many, in ? eluding his own Outline of History. j "That Outline is, of course, a corrupt? ing mass of faults and minor inaccu? racies, but- it does demonstrate the ?possibility of doing what is required." He outlines the contents of a new canon, to which he admits much of the old Bible, many of Shakespeare's plays (banishing "Romeo and Juliet")? the best books of Cervantes, Defoe, Dick? ens, Fielding, Tolstoy, Hardy, Ham? sun, and passages from Abraham Lin? coln, William Ernest Henley, Milton and others. Much that he would like ', to admit is put into an Apocrypha. He ! estimates that such a new bible could ? be made and put into most of the homes of the world for less than the United States is planning to spend on its new navy. Why Well? Wrote His History American readers may be interested in the story of the birth of H. G. Wells's Outline of History. The idea of writing an outline of history came to Mr. Wells at a dinner in London in the spring of 1918 at which Professor Henry Seidel Canby, then one of the editors of The Yale Review, was pres? ent. Among other guests were Mr. Arnold Bennett, Mr. Anthony Hope, Professor Carl Fish ftod Professor C. N. Cunliffe. The ??fission turned upon the need for a history of the A ROHIBALD MAR x? SHALL, author of The Graftons, Watermeada and other novels of English life, now visiting this country Anglo-Saxon nations, prefaced by a? history of Europe. "Oh, I shall go much further back than that," Mr. Wells remarked, "and begin with the earliest geological period's." The re? sult of this determination was The Outline of History, which has been widely commented upon ever since its appearance in 1920, and to which Mr. Wella now adds a "Postscript" in the July number of The Yale Review. Oppenheim Writes for the Movies E. Phillips Oppenheim has written an original motion picture play, "Mystery Road," for the Famous Players, which is being made in England, but which will Boon be shown in thia country. His novel The Great Impersonation (Little, Brown) is being filmed in Southern California. "G. K. C." and Dickens There is no more ardent Dickensian, nor any more versed in the study of Dickens, in all the regions where Eng? lish is read than G. K. Chesterton, the famous English author, who has been making a very successful lecturing tour in the United States. He ajad Mrs. Chesterton were the guests ov honor at a luncheon given in New York City by the Dickens Fellowship, and in the after-luncheon talk he told his hearers how much friendship betw*een the Eng? lish speaking countries depends upon literature. "Anglo-American friend? ship," he said, "is not so much an ab? straction as it is a fable. "The answer to the question how it can be made real, I think, is in imagi? native art. Think of England in the terms of Ram Weiler. Dickens may have had his quarrel with America, but nevertheless he made England human. What cannot be achieved by politics or diplomacy can be done through litera? ture?seeing a nation as a Teal mass of humanity." Mr. Chesterton has cer? tainly done his share in the interpret? ing of Dickens to all readers of Eng? lish by his book entitled Apprecia? tions and Criticisms of the Works of Charles Dickens, of which E. P. Dut ton & Co. have lately brought out a new printing. A Letter to O. Henry O. Henry's publishers recently re? ceived a letter addressed in their cars to 0. Henry, Esq., which they, having no business connections with, the spirit world, are unable to forward. The let? ter is from Santiago, Chile, and reads: "Dear Sir and Friend: "I am fresh enough to call you friend right away, because you have done me a great service?you have made me laugh, a thing I had' not been able to do for years. The reason why is that I have turned against bad luck, lots of it. But this morning when I was driv? ing around this dirty town from one end to the other, yea, this morning 1 read your Options and have laughed as I never did. I am a Norwegian and can count my ancestors back to the year 623 A. C. and have gone through the positions of smith, shoemaker, poet, and now am a broker, which is the worst of all. Through all of thi? I have acquired 6% languages (the half is Russian). I will pass England in February next year and hope I may be able to see you and get some other books of yours. ? ? A Life of Christ A notable work written by a world famous preacher that will take Its place among the foremost religious books of recent years is The Life of Christ, by Rev. R. J. Campbell (Apple ten). It is written with all the beauty and dignity of style with which the author has won a vast audience from his pulpit by his previous writings. The Lifo of Christ represents years of study of the original sources and the most modern critical writings of fore? most thinkers and scholars of ail coun? tries. It gives a vivid background of life in Palestine at the opening of the Christian era, it examines the Gospels in detail; it presents the principal sources for the life of Jesus and it narrates the whole course of his life and ministry that is known to us. It should prove a valuable work not only to ministers of all creeds, stu? dents and librarians, but men, and women everywhere. ILLUSTRATION from Joseph C. Lincoln's new story, Ga * lusha The Magnificent (Appleton), which gives a hu? morous and realistic picture of Cape Cod life Labor Movement as Seen fcy an Ex-I. tW. feW. College Graduate Prank Tannenbaum Holds Up Trade Unions as Hope of Future Peace and Freedom in Industry* By Frank V. Anderson Of the Bureau of Industrial Re? search THE LABOR MOVEMENT i ITS CONSERV? ATIVE FUNCTIONS AND SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES. By Frank Tannen? baum. Published by G. P. Putnam's Sons. $2. THERE are two types who write about the labor movement, those for whom trade union? ism is an object of scholarly, disinterested research and those for whom it is a tremendous challenge. The first have produced factual studies such as the Johns Hopkins and Wis? consin University series. The second have produced interpretative books such as Budish and Soule'a New Union? ism in the Clothing Industry, Carter Goodrich's Frontier of Control and Arthur Gleason'a What the Workers Want. Frank Tannenbaum has made a notable addition to this group in his The Labor Movement; Its Conservative Functions and Social Consequences. To the newspaper public Frank Tan? nenbaum is the I. W. W. boy who led the unemployed into the churches in the bitter winter of 1913-14. He tool part in a dramatic gesture which laboi made to call attention to unemploy ment. The march of Coxey's army t< Washington, a quarter of a centurj ago, was similaiv to this. To-da: Coxey threatens to Tepeat his marcl and Tannenbaum writes a book. On? man's protest leads to protest, th? other's to the interpretation of th' labor movement as an attempt of th> workers to gain security in the moden industrial world of insecurity. Tannenbaum has thought about th labor movement and must talk ove with others what he believes is it character and "historic mission." H ?might have written innumerable lei ters, but did write a book. It speak face to face as individual to Individual. This book is not a dogmatic state? ment. It is put forth as a working hypothesis which is here given in out? line. The world has been remade in the last one hundred and fifty years by the inventor and the engineer through the machine. Changes have been rapid, they are power driven. . To the indi? vidual change means insecurity. The new machine displaces the old craft. With m?chanical society has come un? employment, labor turnover and other threats to' steady income. Or? ganization of labor Into trade unions is an attempt to stabilize employment, to secure for the worker an assured income. It is a means by which the individual escapes from his feeling o? helplessness and gains in self-respect through his sense of powers and increa ing control over his work. This helps not only to redeem his work life, bu1 through his assured place he ca? reach out for the full, the America: life. The trade union, far from being at accident, is an inevitable accompani ment of modern machine industry i Like an amoeba, the labor movemen ! surrounds with living substance th ? object next to it. It takes the stam ? of the machine. As long as industr j exists it will tend to draw togethe : those that are doing similar jobs. Th unit of production has ceased to be th tool-using individual craftsman, it i I the group of workers about a machin | or series of machines in a factor; Thes6 may be prevented a thousan ! times from forming organizations, bi ? in the end their community of interei , will draw them into trade unions. The labor movement tends to tal I over the managerial function of tl ! employer, to demand increasing contr ! of the job. It rebels against the prol j motive, and labor being consumer i well as producer is t-rvterested in pr j duction for use. The problem of a ILLUSTRATION from Jo 1 seph Pennell's Pen Draw? ing and Pen Draughtsmen (Macmillan) Swance toward an industrial democracy is thwarted by the capitalist-employer, i His refusal to allow the workers to tackle the purely technical or engineer? ing problem of production forces them to resort to violence, to devote their strength to building up fighting or? ganizations. Only when they have tri? umphed will class warfare be abolished and the problems of industry be with? drawn from the battlefield to be solved in the same spirit as those^ of sanita? tion. The new industrial government which the trade unions are fashioning may be guessed at through analysis of the growing influence of the central labor bodies, the industrial unions and the national congresses of trade unions. The problems of administration involve education in the historical and eco? nomic background of the workers' job as well as the technique. This should mean an immense expansion in spirit? ual power. If one can be permitted to' guess at the reception of the book, it will be met by the distrust of many of the admirers of Frank Tannenbaum. There is a feeling among some radicals that going to college and writing solid books is an unconventional thing for a revo? lutionist to do. There is the belief that unthinking action produces more pro? found social change, than thought; that there is no man who has written a book and remained a revolutionist to his death except Karl Marx. All writers are felt to have become conscious or unconscious deserters of the working class. There are other readers who will heartily disagree with Frank Tannen? baume interpretation of the labor movement. The employer views the unions from the outside as an ugly threat. He will read with satisfaction criticisms in the publishers' note. It will he hard for him to see the con? structive tendencies indicated by the author. The employer will, however, agree with Frank Tannenbaum and WUliam Z. Foster that the trade union idfPhe reddest thing on earth. It seeks security for its members and in so do? ing will move heaven and earth. There are also leaders among the new unionists who look upon the old line trade union movement critically. They see the lack of identity of inter? est between trade union officialdom and the rank and file. They agree with Hoxie in his description of th? old unions building up of a "vested inter? est" which is anti-sociaL It will be hard for them to agree with the author in viewing the present labor move? ment as a psychological unit and aa a power for the conservation of human resources. Many employment managers will be much interested^ in the chapter on psychology and will shake hands with Tannenbaum when he insists that steady work is the great desire of la? bor. They will differ with him as to ?he means of gaining security. They will recommend an intelligent policy of personnel administration, stabilization 01* industry and not trade unionism as a conserving force. The book is a challenge to thinkers. If: is bound to receive wide attention. Its exposition is clear and logical. His werk has a powerful swing and often poetic* charm, although it is evident he is more interested in expressing ideas than in the manner of expression. The author's love of specific instance to back up theory reveals an unusual grasp of the everyday detail of trade union life. Anniversary of Dante and Keats Honored by New Editions of Poets Stately Measures of the Great Florentine and Singing Lines of London Poet in Memorial Volumes KEATS. With not?? by ?. Buxton For? man.

JOHN KEATS died on February 23, 1821. Any comment on his growth in fame and the present position he holds in British let? ters and in the field of the world's su? preme poets would be a mere repetition of laudations. No nobler method of hon? oring a man who has sung well can be devised than offering to the public the whole bulk of his work in attractive form, with emendations, notes and col? lateral material of value for the study of text and the gaining of a close ac? quaintance witli the creative mind of the poet. Two recent books in the area i of Keatsiana are now before us: a vol? ume of his poems, complete and rich in notes, and an anthology which is in effect an arrangement of poems in a new and Instructive order, one Intended to give a glimpse of the orderly develop? ment of Ke&tt's power as a poet to an ! almost perfectly pur? diction and great ! beauty in adornment by phrases opa-1 lent in color. In the first of these two books there is a rare completeness of annotation in connection with such poems as "Lamia," "The Eve of St. Agnes," "The Ode to a Nightingale," "Isabella" and "Hyper Ion," ?the lower rungs of the singer's poetle ladder. We quote a passage from Forman's introduction: "It seems tomo that in an edition of Keats intended to meet a popular demand among the edu? cated classes, an attempt should be made to record precisely how and in what forms the text has come through the nineteenth century and reached his lov? ers and admirers in the twentieth." In obedience to this idea in preparation of contents this edition contains an ex? tremely valuable section of over fifty pages on the growth of. each of a num? ber of typical poems to final form, with an accjjmpanying wealth of enlighten? ing comment. One is somewhat surprised on opening Keats: An Anthology to find the famous sonnet, "Bright Star," leading off in the procession of poems included. Usually it is placed at the end of volumes of the poet's works. This collection has another surprise in store in its placing "Much Have I Traveled in the Realms of Gold" at the end. As in a recent edition of the poems of Words? worth, there is in this volume a control? ling and wise purpose at work, the as? sembling, not of all poems written by John Keats, but of a number of essen? tially interpretative ones, that a reader ? may obtain a view of stages of develop- | ment. Keats never was a child picking at | tuneful strings. He came to his lute full-fledged with divine abilities. But there is a gradation in his advance to his final ground of Greek loveliness I and English setting and, by printing a number of his best loved poems in I an order that makes of them mile- j posts along a lyric journey we are able to follow the singer's flight from "beauty made half-articulate to beauty in ex celsis." This admirable treasury of the i best things John Keats wrote, set down i in an order that gives the reader an | easily won comprehension of the poet's expansion to the full bloom of perfec- j tion, is a welcome addition to our shelves of British poets. Dante died at Ravenna in July, 1321. And so this year rounds out six cen? turies since Guido performed royal ob? sequies in his honor. When the great j Italian was laid away in the soil of his Italy, John Gower was singing his first notes in the arms of his mother in England, and Chaucer was to wait eight years before his eyes could open on English skies, If we can imagine him a mere promise in the hazy offing of pos sible destinies. The first edition ?| 1 Dante of 1921 to reach us is that et the Cary translation, illustrated by tfce 109 drawings by John Flaxman. Thi? translation has a history of over on? hundred yeara?th? first part appears in 1805 and 1806?and it has held it? place as a popular rendering in Enghja of Dante's immortal poem through the j years Bince its first appearance. Bot ! it has never been granted so luxuriant | a body of associates in the way of ?j. ! planatory text and chronological tablet. ? Besides the Life of Dante, there art in this Oxford University edition of this year a Chronological View of th? Age of Dante and nearly two hundred pages of Notes and Index. No man can acquire a reliable pic ture of the Europe that immediately preceded the opening of new world? through the-discoveries of Columbus and his brother navigators and explorer? i without a careful reading of Dante. The cosmography of the period of the Flor? entine, the unrest that was beginning to stir and seethe in the souls of thou? sands of thinkers in lonely solitudes of mental balancings and wonderings, all the portent and the faith of the past of the period is mirrored in heavy shad? ow or in dim wavering hints ef form in ? the lines of The Vision, to us generally I known as The Inferno. As a book that hinges the old Europe to the new, it must ever retain its preeminence in a field now measured and mapped. ? Dreiser on the Movies THHEODORE DREISER, in an inter ?*? view granted to Edward H. Smith, gives his opinions on life, letters and the movies. "Despite many defects," says Dreiser, "I think the movies show more of an j advance than our current books or plays. They have a long way to go, but they give some evidence of being on their way. The trouble with movies as they stand and as they apparently must remain is that they are a com? posite of applied brains and borrowed ideas. But even so they are in the main truer to fact than the books and plays from which they are taken. , . . "I do not believe there is any ten? dency in the country toward liberal letters. There is unquestionably a growing audience for books of a liberal character. But the growing clan of the lovers of these, contrasted with those who love a flivver and a bakery or a small Insurance business, and who find that they have neither time nor the mind for anything above the mere matter and necessity of making a liv? ing, is as one to tea or twenty thou? sand. I mean that literally. Not that Americans are not intelligent, or, let us say, slick, in a commercial and ma? terial way. They are. In any material and mechanical way you cannot 'put anything over on them.' They usually sense about what you are planning to do and proceed to do it first. But tii? same people who can build a moving picture concern, a great popular maga? zine, a bank, a real estate concern or something of that sort, when it comes to letters of a liberal and artistic character are as dull as oxen."
