The War Book of the Future.

i “It will not come from a German,” ! writes Mr J. C. Squire in the "London Mercury,” "though at the moment we may be curious as to what was going on on the other side of the curtain. If it is to come from an Englishman we do not yet know from whom. We have had a few very good books about the war, which have faced the torments both of the flesh and of the spirit, but we have not yet had a novel or an epic which has shown both the general outlines of the struggle against the eternal and puzzling background and the individual agonies of tho man in the trench. "Modern war does not lend itself to the sentimental treatment of the old adventure-story writer who thought in terms of grown-up boy-scouts, and only occasionally had to envisage a death from a clean bullet wound through the forehead. But the whole truth lias not been told when we are given a series of pictures, though these pictures, for the sake of the future, must always be given) of w nded men crying for their mothers on the wire, of incu still living with their skulls shot off, of astonished men holding their entrails in their hands and dying from shock. "And these tilings must be remembered, and depicted, and depicted again: however much the men who saw them may shrink from them it is their duty to speak. But speech out of hysteria is not better than speech ‘motivated’ by a desire to shock and exploit: it must come from a religious man and a lover of his kind. And it may be that the novel of this war (there is precedent for it) may come from some Tolstoi or Hardy of the future who never saw a bullet fired and has never looked on the face of the unnecessarily dead.”

Great Welshmen.

In reply to a request in the ‘‘Sunday Times” for a list of eminent Welshmen in any way comparable with Irishmen of world-wide fame, a contributor to that newspaper writes :

“I venture to give a short list of some eminent modern Welshmen : William Morris, John Dyer, Lewis Morris, not inconsiderable poets in English; George Meredith and George Eliot, not unknown in literature; Sir William Jones, the most famous Sanskrit scholar of all time and the discoverer of the Laws of Manu; Richard Wilson and Burns-Jonos, among the artists; Robert Owen, the founder of the co-operative movement; Elihu Yale, tho founder of Yale University, U.S.A.; Henry Morgan, th-e most famous of all pirates; and a somewhat formidable list of actresses, including Mrs Siddons.

‘‘l conclude with four names of men who had a good deai to do with organising the force of the Allies in tho late war:— Lloyd George, Lord Rhondda, Air Hughes (former Prime Minister of Australia), and Mr Davis (Secretary for Labour, U.S.A.). The mention of the United States reminds me that seven Presidents of the States have been of Welsh descent, and the greatest leader of the Confederates was also Welsh.”.
