TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, APRIL 13, 1913. ..rv..-- --- - - .. . The Xntarr e Barraa Whltaker. tl.ii. Harper Tor City. cm. by Herman 11 roc. N Mr. Whltaker Is known personally to nmrrnl Portland people and they, ana 1h rMdlns nubile, are Klad to know What ha Is winning; recognition In the front rank among- American novelists. He Is remembered with pleasure lor 'the good work he did In there earlier novels. The Planter" and rne s-et-tler." The former novel reflated scenes laid In rubber plantation on the Istii mus of Panama. The Mystery of Barranca" Is not only a dramatic love story but an In teresting; record of the struggles of two young American engineers, uiiu Thornton and Robert Irrd. to develop a copper mine in Mexico, against the plots and rare-hatred or native Mexi- cans. The novel has true dramatic in stinct, wealth of conversation and well developed characters, and enough cur rent Interest and excitement in It to keep the reader on needles and pins, until the last page la reached. Its dedication la worth remembering: To Vera, my daughter and gentle collaborator. . whose nimbi nngera lightened the load of many labor, this book Is lovingly dedicated. Leyd and Thornton were at a rail road station in the Interior of Mex ico, when they saw the heroine of this novel : -Although slender for her years, her throat and bnst were rounded In perfect development. The clear olive complex ion was undoubtedly Spanish, yet her fare lacked the firm line that hardens with the years. Perhaps some strain of Axtec blood from which the Spanish-Mexican Is never free had helped to soften her features, but this vonld not account for their pleasing irregu larity. At bit retousae. the small nose with Its well-defined nostrils pattern ed after the Celtic. Had Leyd known It. the face in Its entirlty colors and soft contours Is to be found to this day among the descendants of the sail ors who escaped from the wreck of the Spanish Armada, on the west coast of Ireland. Pretty and unusual as she was, her greatest charm centered In the larjra black yes that shone amid her clear pallor, conveying In broad day the tantalizing mystery of a face seen for an Instant through a warm gloaming. In the moment that he had caught their velvet glance. Leyd re ceived an Impression of vivacious In telligence altogether foreign in his ex perience of Mexican women." Her name Is Miss Franceses Oarria. and she lived with her uncle, Don Luis Garcia, a wealthy landed proprietor. Her mother also lived with them. Her grandfather had been an Irish soldier of fortune. Leyd and Thornton encounter op position from Don Lais, when they propose to begin operations on the min ing claim known as the Santa Oertru cH. on land controlled by Don Luis. The two engineers find they cannot Induce Mexican help to remain In their employment, so fierce is the race hatred secretly stirred up by Don Luis and his clan, who dislike gringos or Americans, lrd and Thornton argue that the abandoned mine Is the richest copper pronositlon they have ever seen, that it carries gold sufficient to cover melting expenses, and that once smelted down to a copper mat. there's m fortune In It. The plan was to set tip a small modem plant. Franeesca is supposed to be trained as the future wife of her cousin. Don Pebastlen Rocha. The latter has an in ' tense hstred for everything F.nglish. also American. "In accordance with the foolish custom that alms to make poor foreigners out of rod Mexicans." he said to the two Americans, "I re ceived my education at a board in g- school In th city of Manchester. Eng land. Half-caatea. Don't avoid the word. We Mexicans are proud of ou Astee blood. They (Fngllsh school hoy did not love me. but I tell yon. Penor. that their dislike for me was as milk to fire compared with mine for them, and they fft me alone after a couple had felt my knife. How I , hated them the conceited lackeys of masters as much as the bullocks of ; hoys and their ox-like fathers. How they lectured me. the lackeys, for my -owardlce' in tiring a kntfe the .cowardice of one small hov pitted against a hundred Impish devfls. Rut hev were never able to blind me" with their fustian ideals. Even then I could see threurh their sham unreality, hypocritical hnmanltv. Insufferable con-clt- "England is the workshop of the world'! They dinned It Into ns. In furtherance of the Ideal, thev fouled the air with coal smoke, herded their men and women from the open farms Into slums and brothels, and as they have don by their own. so would they like to do for the world make It one huge factory set In a slum. That Is why I do not speak English because I hate both them and their tongue. Ton are I Americans from our viewpoint much worse. Just as sordid as the stupid English, yon are qulcker-wltted. there fore more to be feared, and you stand forever at our rates, ready to force your commerce and Ideas upon us." Don Luis takes the position thst the present status of the Mexican peasant harpy Indolence, working under Indul gent taskmasters and under the feudal protection of aristiv-ratic landed pro nietors im much better than the lot of our American proletariat, sent to ten ements and slum to eke out a cheap and sordid evlstence. r.evd and Thornton build a smelter, and rust as smelting operations are mr cesefnlty started, unknown foes, with dynamite, blow the smelter to bits. -. ""T "7 - zQ'Q: Ruin stares both engineers In the face. Don Luis conies to their rescue with a loan of SO. 000 pesos, secured on their melting rights under lease, and be hopes to foreclose the plant, under mortgage. ..... Leyd and Franeesca love each other, but no avowal Is spoken. Leyd. In re ality. Is a married man. separated from his wife, and he "hates" to tell Fran eesca about It. Don Hebastlen'a men shoot, in ambush, at Lent, and a bullet strikes Leyd In one arm. Mexican en emies wilfully delay the two Ameri cans' goods In shipment, and Leyd and Thornton are practically boycotted, so much is the hatred for the gringo. In a storm, a tree falls In the direc tion of Leyd and Franceses, and he eaves her life, but a portion of the tree strikes him. In the excitement the two make known their love for each other. Don Luis, by accident, finds In a newspaper that Mrs. Robert Leyd had divorced her husband, and he shows this to Franeesca. You see how honest Mr. Whitaker Is. If he had been Robert W. Chambers, who. In his novels mostly dodges divorce, we should have read that Mrs. Robert Leyd had died from heart trouble or bad taken her life.' Francesc In a moment of plqua married Don bebastien and Is sorry. A dam In the upper part of the valley makes reservoir for waters that threaten to escape In flood, due to im mense tree-cutting In the head-waters, by American concessionista. A flood comes with the breaking of the dam. and Important events happen, but it wouldn't he fair to tell any more 01 the plot. Nearly all the Mexican characters In the novel hate Americans. The time deploted is that of Porfirlo Dias. the needed aristocrat for Mexico. Ultimate ly, Don Luis admits that Just as the Moors overran Spain, and Spanish over ran the Axtecs, so will Americans over run Mexico from the Northern Sierras to the Oulf. "As It went with Texas and Alta California, so will it go with all our Mexican states. Against your Yankee, our softer people can never stand. In the time to come, only tnose of us that mix blood with shrewder strains will be able to withstand the flood." Another Mexican character says his people are Individualists, and that, after Diaz. Mexicans will fight among themselves until a strong man appears. Ulileeombe Fair, by F.den Phlllpotts. $1.33. Little, Brawn A Co.. Boston. A novel by Mr. Phlllpotts Is received now with much of the enthusiasm that used to be accorded to a new novel by Hardy. De Morgan or Meredith one almost said Dickens. Tet in his won derful art in portraying the humor of human nature as it really exists Phlll potts Is more like Dickens than any of bis contemporaries. In "WiJecombe Fair" Phlllpotts re turns to his Dartmoor and. wins a spec tacular success. In fact, the novel shows this favorite English novelist at his best and in his happiest mood. There Is exquisite word painting that is poetry and descriptions of rural scenery that glow like paintings by a master. Above all. there is the delici ous Phlllpotts spirit and. good humor. His heroine Is Miss Tryphene Harvey, an orphan. She Is an Australian. Her parents perished at sea, and she comes to Southoombe farm, near Wkiecomba, the home of her uncle. William Croak er, to live with him. his wife and. her cousin, Ellas. Country life and espe cially moor life is around, her with all its charm. Rural neighbors are sketched with conspicuous ability. Here is a hint of Widecombe Fair: 'Wldecombe Fair, while sunk from Its ancient glories, yet offered opportunity tor local holiday-making; and now, with Its return, the life of the hamlet recognised the day from force of habit. The men were relived of work; their masters also found themselves drifting with the throng of the fair, to tee friends, mark what merriment as afoot, loiter a little, drink a little, sad Investigate the ewes and rams that were offered for sale. On a sunny morning In early September few signs Indicated that Wldecombe in tended a revel; but presently appeared men, driving, riding, and walking In from out Irtng villages, and the croak and rattle of heavy wheels was heard. The farm carts came from afar, and In each was a great ram some with raddled coats; some aged fathers of the flock, gone at the knees and bent at the hooves; some sprightly, brawny,- solid masses of fleeh, with broad aoeee, early fleeces, yellow eyes and noble chests: the potential parents of another generation. These great creatures, athlnt, panting, and little liking their Journey, were low ered from the carts and tethered under the walla of the church-house, or In the shade of the sycamores that stood upon the vil lage green. The horses that had brought the carts and traps were led to the hedge and fastened there, noee-bag on nose; the farmers and laborers congregated together, compared notes, renewed ancient friend blpe. laughed and chaffed together la good fellowship of common knowledge and com mon Interest. The day was hot and the sun was fierce, while on the remote moor, westerly dark ness brooded and thunder growled from afar before noon; but ne threat of possible storm frighted the people, and presently the duns and drabs of the men were en livened by women's holiday raiment the flaeh and twinkle of white blouses and blue, flewerr hats with bright ribbons; here a red frock, here a green parasol. risieniuuitm, by Roland G. TJshan, $1.75- iioughton. Mlltlm Co Bosun. Our author Is associate professor of histc.ry. Washington University, St. Louis. Mo, and in this learned yet com mon -sense book of $14 pages he has rendered a public service not only to the student of politics and of finance, but the scholar, statesman and busi ness man. The statement is made, gravely, that 'JL, . i.ve I I Germans are to dominate the world by force of arms If need be. "The Ger man aim at nothing less than the domination of Europe and of the world by the Germanic race. One of the fun damental errors of which Idealists and advecates of peace have often been guilty Is to treat this vast project as an unreality. In fact. It Is already half accomplished." So! We are also told: "Germany In fac- has attained a National conscious nees. a National Individuality, und sctks to Insure the continued existence of this corporate individual for all time. Pan-Germanism is merely self-nreser- vation." In other words. Germany has sub' stanttally no more arable land avail able than In the year 1815, and more land to feed her growing population sho must have or starve. She Is member of the Triple Alliance Ger many. Italy and Austria against the ambitions of the Triple Entente Brit ain. France and Russia, It is shown that Italy got a free hand in Tripoli, to prevent the Triple Entente irom Be coming too powerful In the Mediterra nean; and that the Balkan war. with the success of the Balkan allies in whipping the Turks. Is a real blow to the aspirations of Pan-Germanism. It Is also shown that Russia is really the doubtful factor in the present posi tion of internstional politics, and that she Is likely to gain In the long run, whichever side wins. The situation in the Balkans is summed up to Janu ary 1$. 181 S. Such wise counsel and historical re search win the reader's admiration. The Brttaaalca Tear-Book. lH, edited by . Hugh Chlsholm. M. A.

It is a pleasure always to notice a book not only composed and written, but printed from type set by the au thor's hands, and published all in this cltv. Mr. Manship Is a Portland man. Such a notable book of poems about 70 In number Is Mr. Manshlp's, now under review.- The book is splendidly planned and written, will give pleas ure and intellectual profit to the thoughtful, but. because of its learn ing, will probably not reach a very large circulation. The kind of verse Mr Manship writes is of that advanced school so 'ably represented by Sneliey. Tennyson, Swinburne. Omar Khayyam and Sir Edward Arnold. That does not mean that the kind of verse Mr. Man ship writes is equal in literary excell ence to that produced by the writers mentioned in the last Instance, but rather that the Manship verse belongs to that atmosphere in its mysticism, echo of reincarnation and beauty of thought. Sometimes the Manship verse Is daring, reckless. Inclines to the flrst personal pronoun, and difficult to un derstand; but it Is really worth while. The gold is not got on the surface, and is really worth more because we have to dig It out. So It is with the Manship poems. Mr. Manship takes a delight in stating that he does not belong to the order of magazine poets, but Is himself. January 1. 190S. "Atonement," the first poem in this series, was written, and Mr. Manship Just wrote on until all the poems were finished, and his muse innn.il. He did not seek out a printer. not he. IgnSrant of the art of setting type, Mr. Manship bought a case, stick and type, and set up by hand these wonderful poems. Such perseverance ought to bring Its own reward. The hook looks "right. "Cosmic Poems." According to Web- star's dictionary, the word "cosmos means "Harmony, the world, from Its perfect order and arrangement." The general tone of the Manship verse Is brotherhood and service, coupled with the truth that as a man is In his heart, so Is he. Liberty In ecclesastlcal mat ters Is advised. Thoughts is spelled "tho'ts," and "thoughtful" as "tho'tful." Here is a good example of the Man ship verse: MY DECLARATION'. To Jewlnh rabbi. Christian priest; To Hindu yogi: teacher, scribe, 1 make my declaration plain That I shall hold your brother, friend. While strive you for the good of man. And Insofar as you remain Within the boundaries of my truth I bid yon walk awhile with me. But as authority or law I know you not, nor will I own The empire of a thing of earth: Tour words I hear, your forms I see - While still you do agree with me. But when there ,comes Inharmony 1 banish you and cast you far From out my own great universe! To Milton, Hante, Emerson; To Moses. Buddhs, Christ and all, I call to you and bid you come And talk with me the while I wait, Tet hold me not, nor strive to teach What In myself I now perceive: Tour tho'ts I grasp and on their wings I rise to heights too great for you. From where I see still grander worlds 8tretch out afar beneath my feet; But when I can no higher rise Upon your Inspiration's power I send you back and bid you go: That I may Journey on alone. No other guide than self to know! The poems are valuable to a thought ful man. but not to the extent of $2. The price ought to be cut In two. to secure sales, and Judged on a business basis.
