We lack the stable bal ance of the island English who cat manage human life and yet bo clean and moral without offensively weak sentiment. Fiction concerned with historic periods runs rival to historic narra tive. The supporter of Mr. Heming way’s book will perhaps plead that he has based his story on the life of the battlefield .and the war-lathed countries. But the historian plead that his records must deal with facts, events, consequences, not with emotion as such. FAREWELL TO ARMS will not pass as history, al though its incidents may be based on The American army won the war which was not of our making. Other nations have honored the winners of their wars. It remains for the Unit ed States to make a first seller of a booK that dishonors the name and reputation of our soldiers abroad. The le-ading character in Mr. Heming way's book is an American soldier serving with the Italian army. Per haps the book is based on facts, but even so its does us no credit to popularize the work which reeks of the foul and evil and dishonors our men abroad.
