Herbert George Wells is one of the
most modest, retiring writers of the
day, which quite likely accounts for
the fact that bis name publicly has
never got beyond that shrunken H.
Wells. Indeed, Wells frequently does
not sign his name at all to business
letters, letting the stamped address on
his stationery suffice.
Wells owes his career to a hemor
rhage of the lungs, without which be
would now probably be a professor of
biology. He was born about forty
seven years ago at Bromley, Kent, in
the south of England, and at an early
age showed a desire for scientific
study. He studied at the Royal College
of Science, took the degree of B. Sc. at
the University of London and for sev
eral years taught biology at the Uni
versity Tutorial college in Red Lion
square. He wrote a textbook on bi
ology which attracted so much atten
tion that it was even translated into
Chinese.
Made a Writer by Illness.
It seemed that his life work was
mapped out along definite lines when
suddenly came a severe hemorrhage.
He recognized its warning and knew
that he must give up. at least for a
time, his educational work and seek
something entirely sedentary. He be
gan writing articles for various Lon
don newspapers, and bis work at
tracted, the attention of H. B. Marriott
Watson. Through Mr. Watson he
made the acquaintance of W. E. Hen
ley, who was glad to advise and help
him toward a literary future. Soon he
began to write books, achieving success
in more varying directions than per
haps any other English writer. The
reading public baa not yet recovered
from amazement at the latitude of his
themes and methods and his complete
mastery over each.
He is not, however, a creature of
moods and shifting personalities. He is
made up of many separate characters
within himself, and it is the develop
ment of each of these that has com
bined to make the great Wells of to
day a master exponent of liberalism
in its broadest sense. His zest is to
study and analyze all the tendencies
of the time, and he reveals all of them
illuminatingly. crisply and tolerantly
His present personality compactly dis
plays all those varying, individual per
sonalities which he first, when develop
ing and assembling bis strength, dis
played one by one.
Nearly twenty years ago, in his "Se
lect Conversations With an Uncle," he
displayed an inventive talent, but the
discursive little sketches were limited
and affected.
His "Scientific" Stories.
This inventive talent was shown in
much more perfected degree and form
In his following "scientific" .stories:
"The First Men In the Moon." "The
Time Machine," "Dr. Moreau's Island."
But there was nothing as yet creative,
inspirational or imaginative in them
Wells was just a clever workman,
manufacturing bis stories piecemeal
out of the storehouse of his special
and acquired knowledge. He was un
deniably clever at his job. much clev
erer than Jules Verne had been be
fore him, but he as yet evinced no
sign of the "divine spark," the real
creative gift which is based on imagi
nation.
The first suggestion of this quality
came with his "The Wonderful Visit,"
and later developing with his "The
Good of the Gods." Then in# "Kipps"
he showed that he could create a real,
living, throbbing segment of life, genu
ine and significant and at the same
time gentle as though viewed by a
tolerant, understanding deity.
"Tono-Bungay" and "The New Mach
iavelli" shewed a powerful mentality
In complete control of itself and of its
creation, pushing forward every sort
of problem, event, tangle and illusion
that the age has produced. Wells with
his wide knowledge, with his devel
oped intellect, with his tolerant under
standing, had climbed to a high place
and looked understanding^ down upon
a frail world. While "The New Machl
avelll" is most strikingly a political
consideration of present day England
and while "Tono-Bungay" prominently
sends shafts of light on the methods of
modern business, both of these books
are great and significant and will live
because of the absolute simerlty and
truth with which they reveal e\ery
phase of the life they portray

WILLHAB TRIBUHE, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 7, 1914
GEORGE WELLS,
the British novelist-prophet,
foresa with wonderful exact
ness some of the events of the
great European war and described
them In his book, "The World Set
Free," published before the outbreak
of the war. It is trite and not quite
exact to call him "the English Jules
Verne," for he goes beyond the French
romancer in the exact quality of his
scientific imaginings. Verne foretold
some of the present day inventions,
such as the submarine and the aero
plane. Wells performs a more difficult
feat He predicts with amazing accur
acy the play of social forces as well
as the progress of invention and does
It all with such literary skill and air
of verisimilitude that the reader is car
ried along as by the recital of actual
events.
urae wbichls exactly what its title Im
plies.
A writer for the Book News Monthly
who has recently bad the privilege of
visiting Wells In his home describes
bis personal appearance and his borne.
He says:
Wells is a little man. He Is thin,
and so Is bis hair. His eyes are unim-
guess the presence of England's great
est writer. His eyes are brown
and kindly and set deeply beneath a
forehead across which unruly strands
of reddish brown hair persist iu stray
ing.
In Its white gables and awnings in
strong contrast to the century old Ivy
stands the rectory, a low, rambling
house built in the days when George 1.
was king. And there, too, lying at full
length upon the grass in the midst of a
very chaos of toy engines, forts and
leaden soldiers, was Mr. Wells, no whit
less interested than were bis two sons,
boys of some ten and eleven years,
who played beside him.
Leaving the boys to their game, Mr.
Wells took me to the house and togeth
er we entered the low, cool room that
Is his study. Here by the open window
stood his desk, and the breeze fluttered
the leaves of a manuscript upon which
be had been working earlier in the day.
Around the walls were well stocked
bookcases, with here and there a sim
ply framed picture.
During a short walk be showed me
the various things of Interest about the
place. A herd of gentle deer, quietly
grazing beyond a boundary fence, look
ed up in sudden alarm at our approach.
Just back of the rectory, but sheltered
from view by a screen of elms, is the
pond upon which Mr. Wells and his
sons venture throughout long summer
afternoons, their argosy a venerable
punt
His Favorite Book a Failure.
Later Mr. Wells discussed his liter
ary work. He said that "Mr. Polly"
was one of his favorites, though in
England it had never been successful
enough to soar beyond a two shilling
edition.
He partially assented that much of
his work is autobiographical:
"Every novel is to some degree auto
biographical, inasmuch as the author
consciously or unconsciously puts into
it more or less of himself. In regard
to my own\ work, much of the early
portions of 'Tono-Bungay* and ofl
'The New Machiavelli' may be said to
be the result of my own experience. I
am not a university man, nor for the
work in which I have engaged do I
feel it to be a disadvantage. Oxford
and Cambridge are institutions of the
past We need more of the spirit of
today."
America Mr. Wells feels to be the
true expression of the new phase. Not
perhaps the America of today, but the
America of the future. "I must revisit
the United States," he said between
puffs at his briar. "Even since my last
trip conditions have change beyond be
lief. New forces are at work. You
have space and you are still young.
You have hope."
He is an outdoors man, fond of mo
toring and cricket and keenly interest
ed in aviation, as is shown in bis books.
"The War In the Air," "The First Men
In the Moon" and "The Sleeper
Awakes" all center about the conquest
of the air, while aviation is included in
"The New Machieveill," "Tono-Bun
gay" and "Marriage."
Writes of His Own Life.
Writing of his own life a few years
ago. Mr. Wells said:
"The literary life is one of the mod
ern forms of adventure. Success with
a book, even a commercially modest
success, as mine has been, means in
the English speaking world not mere
ly a moderate financial independence,
but the utmost freedom of movement
and intercourse.
"A poor man is lifted out of bis nar
row circumstances into familiar and
unrestrained intercourse with a great
variety of people. He sees the world.
If his work excites interest he meets
philosophers, scientific men, soldiers,
artists, professional men, politicians of
all sorts, the rich, the great and he
may make such use of them as be can.
"He finds himself no longer reading
in books and papers, but bearing and
touching at first hand the big discus
sions that sway men, the initiatives
that shape human affairs. And Lon
don is more than the capital of a
kingdom it is the center of a world
empire and of worldwide enterprises.
Intensely Interested In Life.
"To be a literary artist is to want to
give one's impressions of the things
about one. Life has interested me
enormously and filled me with ideas
and associations I want to present
again. I have liked life and like it
more and more.
"The days in the shop and the serv
ants' hall, the straitened struggles of
my early manhood, have stored me
with vivid memories that illuminate
and help me to appreciate all the wider
vistas of my later social experiences. I
have friends and intimates now at al
most every social level, from that of a
peer to that of a pauper, and find
my sympathies and curiosities stretch
ing like a thin spider's web from top
to bottom of the social tangle"

One of the best known Swedes in
Paris, a member of a Swedish lumber
concern, Mr. A. H. Nordin, arrived at
Stockholm Sept. 5. He had been
spending the six weeks previous to
his arrival in Sweden in Boulogne, a
French watering place, where he re
mained incognito, for, according to
his claims, Swedes are viewed with
suspicion in France, owing to the
rather friendly attitude toward the
Germans taken by the Swedish press.
The French people have always
evinced an unusual kindly interest in
the Swedes and it is Mr. Norden's
opinion that some Swedish papers
have been needlessly careless in their
utterances regarding the present war.

William R. Lundgren, the man who
took the initiative in the organization
of a Swedish-American steamship
company, died in London, Eng., Sept.
14, after a few weeks' illness. The
unexpected report of his death was
cabled to a brother-in-law of the de
ceased, Alex Tode, publisher of the
Scandinavia in Worcester, Mass. De
ceased was born May 24, 1856, in Kal
mar and for some years attended the
Kalmar Collegiate Institute, but did
not remain there to complete the
course, becoming a sailor instead. In
1876 he became a sea captain and in
1891 he took his examinations and be
came an English sea captain, remain
ing in the British service for many
years. Later on he became interest
ed in the steamship business himself
and started the Transatlantic Steam
ship company, which, although it had
such uphill work, showed good divi
dends last year. About two years ago
Lundgren determined to start a Swed
ish-American steamship line which
would afford direct transportation fa
cilities between Sweden and the Unit
ed States, and came on to America,
where he visited a number of the lar
ger cities in the interests of the new
company. The work of organizing the
new company was far from completed
and Lundgren was taken away at a
time when he was most needed to
complete this important work. His
sudden death came as a shock to
many leading Swedish-Americans,
who have been investing large sums
of money in the proposed Swedish
Amerika line.

A Norwegian writer, commenting on
Norway and Sweden and the war sit
uation in general, says: "Even so
skilled an expert as Siguard Ibsen
declares that there is reason to re
gard the position of the Scandinavian
countries with equanimity. There is
nothing to show that any of the com
batants desire to break their neutral
ity One naturally expects that a Nor
wegian port may become a temporary
refuge for foreign battleships during
the war. But that will not be similar
to a breach of neutrality. It can hap
pen in full agreement with The Hague
convention rules. It might be critical
for Sweden if the British fleet pur
sued the German fleet to the Baltic.
But since Russia and Great Britain
are allies in this war, it is most natur
al that Britain will seek her points
of support on the Russian coast. The
northern countries, however, suffer
economic loss from the war. Mobiliza
tion takes enormous sums and takes
away numerous providers for families
from their homes and work. The
distress which can be caused thereby
is not easy to overcome, even if
everything is done by the public.
Large industrial plants have suspend
ed operations and there is a great
want of work. Efforts are being made
to remove the stagnation in several
lines. Boats and products of neutral
states are welcome in the ports of
all the fighting powers and all traffic
should be able to be maintained both
to Britain and to Germany."
