PUBLISHERS' SPRING AN??IOUNCEMLNTS? THE SEASON'S NEW FICTION: A SURVEY Novels for All Tastes?Comedy and Farce Tales of Small Business?Modern Ger? many as Seen in Its Fiction. The fiction of the season, already published ar.d yet to come, is so heterogeneous that no con? clusions as to tendencies can be drawn from it. There Is a little, and considerably more, of every thing to sait all tastes?rotaaance, love, marraRc. ferr.inisrr., adventure, mystery, rr.i'.ism. and, let -.is be thankful, a great deal ci cheer* ful reading There are H. G. Wells's boisterous "Pealby." Harry Leon Wilson's "Rugbies of Red Gap" and Arnold Bennett's lively tale of mock-mystery, humor and plenty of plot, "The City of Pleasure " an earlier book of his, hitherto unknown on tbis side of the water, and now published at just the right moment. We all need diversion. The novel of malefactors of great wealth is in abeyance; Mr. Theo? dore Dreiser has for the moment the monopoly of the field with his trilogy of "The Financier," whose concluding volume we shall not have Published Today THE LITTLE MAN AND OTHER SATIRES i JOHN GALSWORTHY Satiret witnool c>r.:.ism and done with s touch that it f.nt of si! intentrlv human, of com ??* ?nd types el mol-rri ? 51 JO ael CHARLES SCRIBNERS SONS (197-599 Fifth Avenue Ne?- York.

The hook's reissue now to bring it a wider circle of readers. - crcat fiction of the world war :s still to come; meanwhile there are some swift-moving tales of love and adventure amid its alarums. A branch of contempo- ] rary German fiction, dealing with the abuses that had crept into the j e c f the empire, in its civil j service as in its army, is only just ' being opened up in translation. of this fiction is not only of historic value, it is also capital art. We have had thus far this spring a new edition of Lieutenant Bilse's sensational "In a Garrison Town," Court von Baudis9in's "Life in a Crack Regiment," and, f?r better '?.ese, both on account of its wider scope and its excellent work ? p. Baroress von Heyking's "Lovers in Exile," reviewed else- ' - ? where in these columns to-day. This field is worth exploring; the frankness wherewith its authors ex? pose and criticise the evils that had crept into the administration of the affairs of the nation and Into the life of its aristocracy is astounding. Occasionally their work has been suppressed, generally too late, but the bulk of it, in fiction and In the drama, has never been interfered with Some of the foremost authors of Germany have contributed to it, I among them Sudermann and Fulda, ! JiLUSTlZATiON-from. TrtANCEi Misty Sta/z": Thece\n but the best of it is from the pens of a younger generation. Amon? the new historical novels, which arc very few in number, men? tion must be made of Elizabeth Mil? ler's "Daybreak," a tale of Ferdi little's 'The House on the 'u/zy Co) nand and Isabella and Columbus; of Cyrus Townsend Brady's novel cf Waterloo, "The Eagle of the Em? pire," and of Richard Dehan's tale of the Franco-German War, "The Man of Iron." The detective story | flotiriahes from ?eason to ?eason, with annual volumes from its prac? titioners, among them Natalie S. Lincoln and Caroline Wells. This spring Conan Doyle takes the head of the table, of course. A new re? cruit in the rank? i? Oeraldine Bon? ner, with "The Girl at Central," the first venture into this field, unless memory be at fault, of this always readable novelist. "Empty Pockets" is th? signifi? cant title of Rupert Hughes'r. new story of New York life; a study of Philadelphia society by Th?r?se Tyler, "The Dusty Road," also de? serves mention. Josephine Daskam Bacon, preoccupied with the mod? ern woman, is about to give us "Open Market." This might also have been the title of the English Constance Smedley's story of a girl face to face with the world, "The Fighting Line." Samuel Merwin's "The Honey Bee," published this week, is a third novel dealing with the modern woman in business. His heroine is successful, but she be? comes conscious of the price which she pays for her success. Mere men? tion of the already established suc? cesses of the season, Mr. Poole's "The Harbor." Geoffrey Carson's "Blue Blood and Red" and Mr. Har? rison's "Angela's Business," will suf? fice, and the same may be said of W. L. George's "Second Blooming," Jo? seph Conrad's "Victory" and Oliver Onions's "Mushroom Town." Winston Churchill's new novel, "A Far Country," is still to come; so are William J. Locke's "Jaffery," Maurice Hewlett's tale of modern ; English life, "The Little Iliad," and Anthony Hope's "A Young Man's Year." After "Mrs. Martin's Man" the announcement of a new book by its author, St. John G. Ervine, arouses interest. It is called "Alice and a Family," and is issued to-day. This brief survey may close with two novels already published, James Lane Allen's "The Sword of Youth" and Gouverneur Morris's "The Seven Darlings." ALL-BRITISH PRIZE NOVELS.

Pn von Heyking deals with the imperi | diplomatie service, and deals with with the. unmistakable authority lirnt-haiid knowledge. Bha was e\ dently lived in the midst of it all, ai stood a.-ide and observed closely. It fortunate moreover, that she has he? her owe tranalator: there is in th English version nothing to puzzle tl reader unfamiliar with German waj The special case with which the auth? deala may he presented with bias; tl | general conditions of which it forn part sound only too true in connect:' with ?o much of what one has heai of late of German diplomatic inept i ude and frvoritiatn. Thia, then is a story of a riain young diplomatist of exceptional gift an Austrian who has cut- red th German service in his desire t ! further thf- cause of a greater Gei many. He falls in love with the w-.f I of a Junker, who gives her a divorce j on conditions. The two marry, an i thereafter all- the influence of the ex husband's family is ?lirccted towar i the ruiring of his career. For the sako of the contrast thi 1 particular family of Junkers is showi in the most, unfavorable light, but ? with certain reservations, the picturi is true to type. These people ha-.i served the king for hundreds of yean faithfully, if without distinction. Il they are his, he is also theirs; th? Emperor they cannot see, nor tht ?vider Germany. They have their harr virtuea, drawn from the niggard soil url Th they have forced to yield them sustenance; comparatively poor, they have practised parsimony from genera? tion to generation until the beauty of life has passed from their existence. All for the king; and th?-n all for the family the motto requires their daughters to remain unwed in order that their dowries may be added to the family coffers; it demands of the y< linger -ons a like sacrifice for the of the greater security of the elder branch There is s Spartan ideal in this, but it is not the author's part te bring it out. She shows us only the Ugliness, the barrenness, the grasping calcul?t,on of it all. Hut the greater part of the action takes place in Berlin, whither the Junker goes as a member of the Prus? sian Diet an agrarian member, of courae. And here we are taken into the Foreign Office, we see the influ? ences, the wire pulling behind the scenee; we follow the young diplomat abroad, always under the shadow of that potent intriguing of the Junker: crowd. We overhear the grumbling at I the mistakes made, the blunders com- j mitted, the obstacles placed in the way i of talent, until at last, in a Central , American republic, the enemy strikes home. The diplomat is disowned, re? called, and dismissed. At times one thinks of Maximilian Harden.

Among them were a fa ?OU? sculptor, a well-known philolo two univers ty profetaora, a a civil engineer at the head of largest Austrian steel cor Imong t'ne privates in his platoon were a painter, two college pro ? of repute, a banker and h post official of h.gh rank. Kr. iler waa constantly under fire dur.ng the ten days' lighting that con? st.*i:' .i- bi-come known as *le of Lemberg. He started for th.? fr ml ur.ler the impression, re . : Vienna, kustiavHnn ,* -?rn tory. He di ?varad that, on the lon i..i 1 penetrated into G le, he says, the individual seems to be in an hypnotic trance, which prevents hif mind from taking in impressions, and certainly from storing them. There is only the lust of battle. The cessation of fight? ing produces a sudden detention; then folio?? the unforgettable horror of the low, monotonous mo.ip ng of the wounded. Hut all ?MaibiltB becomes i with amaT.ir.g: rapidity. Men eat their crust of bread with the ut BMl u'iconcern amotig the wounded, ? ad and tie dying All this is - ?anciently well known, but it is worth reading again as Kreialer reg ls'ers it. Physically he found the hard ih ;.s of campaigning most benehciai. The decencies of life are hardly missed, and (this, too, is a familiar observa? tion) the city-bred men stand the fa? tigue and 'he hardships better than tin- countrymen. Army orBeera an inclined to i.-?.r.he this to the city dweller's more generous meat diet; Kreisler suggests that it is rather the radical nnfure of the change, the tonic effect of life in the open, whereas the countryman, used to the open air, onl'y experiences the lassitude of unaccus f( raed and t'nr harder exertion. He himaelf spent three days without food, and "Iick-d -.in- dew from the grass for want of water." Sleep is the I ? ing of the man on campaign. Within a few days Kreisler and his compan? ions slept through the heaviest bom? bardment*. They welcomed the risk of death in battle as a n-hef from the back-breaking torture of marching. The musician comes curiously to the fore in th's record. Kreisler tells u? that his delicately tuned ear soon taught him to differentiate between the noise made by shells fired in opposite direction?, and even to Si the acme of their parabolic Sight: In talking over my experiences with an artillery officer, I was told the fact was known that the shells soundci different going up than when coming down, hut this know! edge ' I ! for practical purpose-. When I told him that I could actually determine by the sound the exact place where a shell coming from- the opposing batteries was reaching its acme, he thought that this would he of great value in a ease where the position of the opposing battery ?vat hidden, and thus could be bl? eated. He apparently sg/ohe to his com?nan?ier, for a few days later I was sent on a reconaoitring tour, with the object of marking on the map thi> exact ipet where I thooi the hostile ?.hells were reaching their acme, and it was later on reported to me that I had suc? ceeded in giving our batteries the almost exact range of the Russian guns. There are some anecdotes here of the absence of hatred between the men of the opposing armies once they come into actual contact. Brief truces by common unspoken ron-i r.t are fre? quent, and on one occasion a Ku officer and a private came into the Austrian trenches under a flag of truce to ask for food for thcmaelvci and their company. They returned loaded ?ith half of the Austrian?' own ?cant ?upply. ... . - ? i ON THE PIGHTT50 LINE Ry O-T-atajv** Sme I' I'u'nam'i Son?. ONE MAS A i;o?el. Py Kcrfi-rt Rteel?.

You're a droll flower that lift? it? face in meek Obeisance to the skies; You cannot smile, poor wightt you cannot speak, But love yearns from your eye?. I have blenched white ander the erne! blaze Of scorning Blancos bent; Never was blame in your adoring gaze - You hold me innocent. Lovers that lightly come ss lightly go, Forget me and forsake; Should you be torn from me, comrade, I know Your little heart would break. And if I whispered to you how I fought, Shrinking with fear and hate, The Doom that dragged me down and made me naught, The ruthless, grinning Fat? And how to see a white rose smites me sore, Sets me to brood and grit^t, Because they frew beside my mother's door You'd listen; you'd believe.
