Philip_Gibbs Finds Our Most Cherished Immoralities Tame

Reverses Dr. Straton's Verdict
New York's Night Life Described by the
English Writer, Philip Gibbs
Dp.. JOHN ROACH STRATON
f?ces a worthy opponent
when he lines up against
Philip Gibbs, greatest of Eng
U?h w*r correspondent?. While Mr.
Oibbs steps off in a new field when
he tackle? jray life In New York, he
does so with thft assurance of a vet
fran crusader. Four and a half years
of trailing troop? on the battlefields of
Flanders hare given him a ?are batting
eve and ? steady hand.
Mr. Gibbs visited New York in the
<prir?j of 101?. when people were per?
mitted to wallow in the joys of the
flowing bowl without interference from
the ?gents of Mr. Shcvlin. His testi?
mony, presented in a n:w volume.
People of Destiny (Harper's), is de?
serving of the reverence due pre-pio
Hbition calculations. He wastes no
time in challenging the axioma of Dr.
Straton'a creed. He writes:
"I found gay life in New York im?
mensely and soberly respectable. One
could take one's m:iidcn aunt Into the
he*rt of it and not get hot by her
blushes. ... It is not only re?
spectable, it Is domestic. Savonarola
himself would not have denounced any
such innocent amusement. Nor did 1
find anything to shock the sensibili?
ties ef high-souled ethics in such mid
night haunts n? the Ziegfeld Follies
or the Winter Harden, except the in?
anity of ai such shows where large
numbers ( f pretty grlrls and others
disport themselves in flowing draperies
and colored lights before groups of
tired people who can hardly hide their
boredom." . . .

And on another page he astounds us
with the acuteness of his observation
during so brief a visit by summing up
the social ambitions of the average busi?

which strives up to tho possession of a
Ford car, generally known as s 'tin

H. Bergson's Confession of Faith
French Philosopher States His Case for Im?
mortality and Free Will
THE philosophical case for im?
mortality and freedom of the
will is strongly Bnd skillfully
set forth by Henri Bergson
in his new work, Mind L'neriry < Hoit).
As in Creative Involution, '.he French
author shows himself a determined op?
ponent oi the tendency toward uncondi?
tional materialism winch manifests it?
self in the work of Haccknl and bc?
entists of his school. M. Person in?
sists upon the dualism of mind and
matter; he -..ill not admit that humas
conduct is regulated by m^re blind de
t( rminism. In the following passage
he argues for the existence of a nor.
in . : erial, vital fnrre :
"Some living forms to be met with
to-day have come down unchanged
from rom test paiicosoic times; they
have persisted, unchanged, throughout
the aires Life then might havr
: stopped at some one definite form. Whj
i d it. not stop wherever it was possi
de? Why has it gone on? Why, un
ess it be that there is an impulse driv
ri" it to take ever creator und greatei
i-ks toward its goal of an ever highe:
and higher efficiency?"
Believes Will is Fre*
M. Bergson admits that man is large
iy circumscribed in his activities b;
external and material conditions. 13u
he contends that there is scope for fre
wii] within a small area. He represent
freedom of the will as a ?ever, Insiji
:.?.'leant in itself, which is capable o
n loa.-ing tremendous forces. l{e di
?.???ops his argument alone; these line
with lii- usual persuasive eloquent
h lid clarity.
The author also believes that there ;
string probability of the survival c
the human sou! after death. One (
the strongest arguments against in
mortality ia the derangement or an
pension of the mental faculties whit
oltcn C7.H1CJ as tho result of accidei
or disease. M. Bergson attacks th
position by drawing a sharp distin
tien between the brain and the min
Tue brain, the physical organ i
thought, is liable to be overcome t
disease and accident. But the auth<
c:tes various medical and scientil
?facts and theories to prove that co
sciousness, the spiritual factor
' thought, is not exclusively dependent
upon the brain. His discussion of this
interesting point deserves to be quoted:
Argument for Immortality
"Here Is a brain which works; and hero
i? a consciousness which feels, thinks
and wills. If the work of the brain
corresponded to the totality of the con?
sciousness, if there were equivalence
between the cerebral and the mental.
consciousness might be bound up with
the destiny of the brain and death
might be the end of all. Experience,
at any rate, would not speak to the
contrary, and the philosopher who af
'Inns survival would then have to sup?
port his theory by some metaphys?
ical construction - usually a fragile
thing. But if, as I have tried to show,
the mental life overflows the cerebral
life, if the brain does but translate
into movements a small part of what
takes place in consciousness, then sur?
vival becomes so probable that th<
ontiB of proof falls on him who denies
it rather than on him who affirms it;
foi the only reason we can have foi
believing in the extinction of con
sciousness at death is that we see the
body become disorganized, thai this i:
a fact, of experience, and the reaso;
loses its force if the independence o
almost the whole of consciousness witl
regard to the body has been shown ti
be nlso a fact of experience."
M. Bergson is confessedly modest i:
his aims; he does not aspire to folio.1
;n the footsteps of Kant and Hegt
and explore the abstruse mysteries o
i pure reason. On the contrary, he pre
fers to test his faculty or' reason'.::;
by using ;". Avowedly an empiricist., i.
?s inclined to make up his theories h
lie goes along, on the basis of the be:
available knowledge, rather than t
devote all his energies to the creatio
? f some new imposing system of phile
iphical thought. This tendency ma
?\ciude him from a place among th
rreat metaphysicians; but it certain'.
helps to make his idoas more undei
stamiable to the average layman.
Sympathy With Psychlal Research
M. Bergson adopts a friendly and rt
ceptive attitude toward the compan
tively new Bcience of psychical ri
i search. With a touch of deprecation he
observes that "our science always tends
! to mathematics as an ideal." And he
' adds that "it is of the essence of mental
things that they do not lend themselves
to measurement." He expresses warm
i sympathy with the work of such organi
', zations as the British Society for Psy?
chical Research, and sees a possibility
of discovering new proofs of the con?
tinuity of consciousness after death in
further experiments along psychical
lines.
The author contributes the following
; interesting analysis of the processes in?
volved in dreaming:
'These repressed memories rise and
spread abroad and perform in the n irht
i o? the unconscious a wild, phantasma?
goric dance. They rush together 10 the
i door which has been left ajar They
ail want to go through. But they can?
not; there are too many of them Of
'the many called, which will be cho en'
It is easy to guess. Just now, when
awake, the memories admitted were
those which could claim relationship
with my present situation, with rr.>
actual perceptions N'ow, more flcetin?!
are the forms which stand out before
my eyes, mora indecisive the sound;
' which affocas my ?ara, mora tediat?aet
the tonch Impassions distributed over ?
. the snrfaee of my body; bot mora nu
; merous cow aro the *ensations cora
I ins to mo from within my organs. So, ;
? then, among tha phantom memories
1 which ?spire to weight themselves with
j color, with sonnd?In short, with ma?
teriality?those only succeed which can
! assimil?t? the color-dust I perceive, ;
I the noises without and within that I
hear, etc., and which, besides, arc in
i haimony with the general effective i
i stats which my general organic im- j
i pressions compose. When this nnion .
; between memory and sensation is of- ?
j fected, 1 dream."
Bergoon's work Irresistibly suggest*
a comparison with that of William
James. The Frenchman and the Amer?
ican possess many common qualities.
Both seek desperately for avenues of
escapa from materialism and determin?
ism. Both show a keen and lively in?
terest In tho new science? whi^h have
grown out of psychical research. Both
are endowed with a charm of styl??
which has not been possessed by man
philosophers in the pa?t. Bergson and
James hare performed notabls eervic?
by expressing philosophical idea? in
terms suitable to the comprehension
of the normally intelligent reader, who
does not claim to be a specialist.

"New" Poetry Is Called Old
Advanced Versifiers Said to Have Borrowed
From Realistic Prose
ADVOCATES cf thft "new po-!
etry" will find something
disheartening in Professor
John Krskine'g "The Kindr* of
Poetry" (Duffield). Professor Krskine
is a profound classicist, and apparently
he la able to find not only the roots but
the flower of any literary novelty in
what he terms "old-fashioned literature."
The best of the new work, he says, sug?
gests nothing new. "The Spoon River
Anthology" Is a translated counterpart
; of the Greek Anthology, and Robert
Frost Is a sort o' twentieth century
Wordsworth. Th.*r? is nothing new
under the sun, If your sun Is the lamp of
: scholarship.
Yet Professor Erskine offers at least
' on? novel theory of the new poetry.
i He finds that our "advanced" versifiers
have achieved their results by borrow?
ing the meihods of realistic pro3a.
"They derivo their methods," he as?
serts, "consciously or unconsciously,
from the masters of modern realism;
that is, their art is the product of much
novel reading. ... A generation or
readers and writers has grown op which
sooner or later would ba sure to trans?
fer the methods cf prose realism to
verse. . . . The main poiat is that the
new poetry inherits its style from a
prose ancestry and takes its methods
ar.d its subjects from the tradition of
the novel; and wo who like or dislike
what we see are none the less witness?
ing one of those mutations by which
from timo to time literature reinvigor
ate3 itr.elf, pouring old wine into new
bottles or new wine into old bottles."
Professor Erskine regards the new
tendency as a wholesome manifestation
but he deplore? the propaganda of its
spokesmen, who try to interpret it as
nn offshoot of French metrical expf-ri
merits or of ?magiatic obsessions. Th<
weakness of the movement, he main?
tains, Is that it operates "from the out?
side inward." His pica is for poetry
which rises from the poet's conscious?
ness rather than from the strictures cf
metrical cliques. The essay on "The New
Poetry" is sound and unblemished by
academic affectations, and we like par?
ticularly the manner in which Professor
Frskine punctures certain of the pre?
tensions of Miss Amy Lowell.
