?Tbe First Shot for liberty, by Corporal do
Varlla. 11.25. Illustrated. The John C
Winston Co.. Philadelphia.
"Written In slangy, breezy English and
permeated with sturdy American spirit,
this story of the young American tun-
ner who fired recently the first shot
from an American gun in France during
the present war deserves & multitude of
! readers.
The tale Is told In simple, boyish
'. fashion.
The hero Is Osborne de Varlla, of
; Battery C. Sixth United States Field
'Artillery, who was at school in Los
: Angeles, CaL, when he enlisted in the
United States Army April 25, 1917, just
19 days after this country declared war
against Germany.
Corporal de Varlla says he has red
hair and freckles and is proud of them.
His mother is of Irlsn descent and his
father French. He possesses, evidently,
a fighting disposition and a quick tem
per. His grandfather on the paternal
side fought for the Confederacy under
"Stonewall" Jackson, and his mother's
father was a Federal soldier with Grant.
; A racy, enjoyable account Is given of
i the arrival of the troopship containing
! Varlla and his comrades at a French
sort and De Varila says the welcome of
) the French was "like a grand opera I
' once attended in Frisco."
"The first thing I knew." writes
De Varila, "a middle-aged woman in
a peasant costume had swung her arms
around my neck and was kissing me
first on one cheek and then on the
other. Anybody would have thought I
was her long-lost son.
"When this ordeal was over 'the pret
tiest girl in France annexed herself to
rny neck,' and there was a 'smack that
must have been heard at the Battery in
New York.' " This was all very pleasant
but "when an aged Frenchman dived at
our young soldier, intent upon showing
. his affection in a similar fashion, the
brave lad cried "Halt!"
His regiment occupied barracks in a
Tillage near the Swiss border where
I: I they were trained in the use of the
j rencn ids. in September or last
year De Varila was made a cannoneer,
and before he had been on French soil
tout a short time his hatred of the Hun
had increased a thousandfold. It was
while marching to the front that he
I first came to the full realization of
5 what German atrocities mean. Says the
' author:
In a village five miles furthel on wo paused
to rest. Hero a woman approached us with
1 a boy about six years old.
"You are Americans," she said, "and I
rlnt to give you inspiration to fight."
She bent over and lifted up the arms of
the boy at her side.
"Look," she said. In a cold, even voice,
, "this is what tno Boches did to my little
on."
We hardened artillerymen srurg-led with
horror at what we saw. My God! The little
land's hands had been chopped off at the
wrists. I had heard of such cases, but had
1 never really credited them, but here was one
right before my very eyes.
The mother explained the injury by
atating the Huns had "made sure the
boy would never take up arms against
the Kaiser." Her 15-year-old daughter
had been carried away by the Prus
sian beasts and she knew nothing of the
girl's fate which was, no doubt, too
terrible to describe in words. The
eight of the crippled lad forced upon
the American soldiers the knowledge
that the world would not be safe until
the Germans had been humbled into the
dust.
There was quite a race among the
American artillerymen to haul their
(runs to the desired position and have
the honor of firing the first American
shell at the Huns.
Our hero helped to haul a gun of his
battery for nearly three-quarters of a
mile over swampy' ground with many
mud-choked shell-holes. It was rain
ing hard at the time and when De
Varila and his mates reached the point
of objective they "were all in.
At 6 A. M. Captain I. R. McLandon
arrived (p. 78). Th,en follows this Inter
esting account of shell fire:
I thrilled from head to toe, but my head
was cool and my hand steady. The gun was
wheeled Into position, its business end point
ing toward Germany. There was barely
enough light for us to read the markings
on the little pieoe. The battery commander
gave the word to the sergeant and the
sights were set.
"t'se second pieces only!" rapped out the
commander.
A gunner cut the fuse of a shrapnel to
meet the requirements of the order and the
hell was placed In the breech of the "lit
tle 75" by a non-commissioned officer.
"Range 5500 yards." snapped the com
mander. I see the deflection and saw that the cross
hair was on the target. I was tingling from
head to foot with the tensity of the mo
ment. There was a brief pause, during which
every mother's son of us was on our toes.
"Fire!" rasped out the commander.
Filled with a thousand conflicting emo
tions I pulled the lanyard of the little spit
fire and America's first shot of the war went
creaming into German territory.
Then follows a - modest account of
the different battle scenes in which
De Varila participated. Finally, during
a gas attack by the Huns in March of
the present year a piece of shrapnel
cut his mask and De Varila was "laid
out" with mustard gas. It meant the
hospital for him.
After recovery De Varila was one of
the lucky ones sent back to this coun
try to help along the work of the third
liberty loan.
In Philadelphia he met his best girl.
But his one burning desire now is to
get back "over there."
Ufe In a Tank, by Richard Hatgh. M a
$1.25. Houghton, Mifflin Co., Boston..
There is much curiosity to read about
the life of those in fighting army
tanks, a new engine of war perfected
by the British.
Captain Haigh has been "In the thick
of it" at the battles of the Somme and
other fights, and as he was the direct
ing head of various tanks, he is quali
fied to be our guide in the department
of tank knowledge.
A curious incident, when the crew
net their first tank:
"There It is!" cried Gould, and started
forward for a better look at the 'Willie.'"
Actohs the face of Rigden, the Instructor,
flashed a look of scorn and pain. Just such 1
a look you may have seen on the face of a
young mother when you refer to her baby as
'it."
"Don't call a tank 'it,' Gould." he said,
with admirable patience. "A tank is either
"he' or 'she'; there is no 'it.' "
"In Heaven's name, what's the difference?"
asked Gould, completely mystified. The rest
of us were all ears.
"The female tank carries machine guns
only." Rigden explained. "The male tank
carries light field guns as well as machine
guns. Don't ever make the mistake again,
any of you fellows."
Having firmly fixed In our minds the fact
that we were to begin on a female "Willie."
the Instruction proceeded - rapidly. Rigden
opened a little door rn the side of the tank.
It was about as big as the door to a large,
old-fashioned brick oven 'built into the chim
ney beside the fireplace. Hia head disap
peared and hia body followed after. He
was swallowed up, save for a hand that
waved to us and a muffled voice which said.
'Come on In, you fellows." .
Gould went first. He scrambled in, was
loet to sight, and then we heard his voice.
McNutt's infectious laugh rose-above the
sound of our mirth. But not for long.
"Hurry up," called Rigden. "You next.
McKnutt."
McKnutt disappeared. Then to eur fur
ther astonishment his rich Irish voice could
be heard upraised in picturesque malediction.
What was Rigden doing to them Inside the
tank to provoke such profanity from them
both ? The rest of us scrambled to find out.
We soon learned.
When you enter a tank you go In head
first, entering by the side doors. (There is
an emergency exit a hole in the roof which

Is used by the wise ones.) You wiggle your
body in with .more or less grace, and then
you stand up. Then. If it is the first time,
you are usually profane. For you have
banged your head most unmercifully against
the steel roof and you learn, once and for
all, that it is Impossible to stand upright in
a tank. Bach one of us received our bap
tism In this way. Seven of us. crouched In
uncomfortable positions, ruefully rubbed our
beads, to Rigden's Intense enjoyment. Our
life in the tank had begun!
Here is a spirited battle scene:
All this time the German guns had not
been silent. McKnutt's tank crunched across
the ground amid a furious storm of flying
earth and splinters. The strain was be
ginning to be felt. Although one is protected
from machine gun fire in a tank, the sense of
confinement Is at times terrible. One does
not know what la happening outside tils
little steel prison. One often can not see
where the machine is going. The noise In
side is deafening, the heat terrific. Bombs
shatter on the roof and on all sides. Bullets
Spatter savagely against the walls. There Is
an awful lack of knowledge; a feeling of
blind helplessness at being cooped up. One
Is entirely at the mercy of the big shells.
If a shell hits a tank near the petrol tank,
the men may perish by fire, as did Gould,
without a chance of escape. Going down
with your ship seems pleasant compared to
burning up with your tank. In fighting In
the open one has, at least, air and space.
McKnutt. however, was lucky. They could
now see the sunken road before them which
was their objective. Five-nines were drop
ping around them now. It was only a mat
ter of moments. It seemed, when they would
be struck.
"Do- you think we shall make ltf" Me
nu 1 1 asked James.
"We may get there, but shall we get
back? That's the question, sir."
McKnutt did not answer. They had both
had over two years' experience of the ac
curacy of the German artillery. And they
did not believe in miracles. But they had
their orders. They must simply do their
duty and trust to luck.
They reached the sunken road. The tank
was swung around. Their orders were to
reach their objective and remain there un
til the bombers arrived. McKnutt peered out.
No British were In sight and he snapped his
porthole shut. Grimly they settled down to
wait.
The moments passed. Each one seemed as
If It would be their last. Would the In
fantry never come? Would there be any
sense In just sitting there until a German
shell annihilated them if the Infantry never
arnven? Had they been pushed back by
a German rush? Should he take It upon
himself to turn back? McKnutt's brain
whirled.
Then, after hours. It seemed, of waltinar.

BAREFOOT FAD MAY LEAD

Barbara Craydon Says Women Experiment With Move to Give Up Shoes

BY BARBARA CRAYDON.
DOUBTLESS there are shoes enough

Tin n?pmeflH to srive soldier boys
all the leather they need ia likely to
bring about an actual stringency in
footwear. Yet we are in a time of
reasonable economies and any excuse is
sufficient to breed a fad.
Just now there Is a fad for sandals
with bare feet in them. To be sure.
this has been fostered by the furore
for barefoot dancing even among tne
smartest social sets, but that there
should be so radical a foot fashion was
scarcely promised by anything that has
gone before.
Naturally the first steos in narea
feet were taken by the radicals. To
see Sidney Carlyle. the artist, issuing
from hia studio in sandals was star
tling to the public, though it was
taken for granted by his neighbors,
who knew that Mr. Carlyle steadfastly
refused to wear shoes. The Bohemian
class in many cities has been advancing
the use of sandals and even (shedding
the sandals with a freedom not before
known. - i .
Women I.Ike the Liberty.
Women seem to be abandoning shoes
and stockings with more enjoyment of
the liberty than the men. In "Wash
ington or Boston, when she is visiting
there, one may frequently see little
Miss Rebecca Chany in her short Greek
dress, barefooted save for tiny flexible
leather sandals. In New York Miss
Chany has recently been wearing this
costume, and now. instead of the
steady etare that used to greet her
from conventional people on the street.
she Is accorded only a passing glance.
The thought of conventional clothes
having become unbearable to her. she
gathered courage enough one day wnen
in Washington to appear on the street
in her simple one-piece crepe dress and
her sandals. One would hardly think
the capital of the United States a good
place to try such an experiment, but
when that was suggested Miss Chany
laughed and said: '
"Washington is just the, best place
In the world to give one- courage to
dress as one pleasea. You see there are
so many different kinds of people In
Washington, people from all over the
world in all sorts of costumes, that my
simple little dress and my sandala
caused not the slightest sensation.
They were. In fact, received as a mat
ter of course. That is as it ought to
be, but not always do you find it .so.
Then, when I was in Boston I con
tinued to dress in this way and one
might think that Boston, even more
than Washington, would be impossible,
but once more that Is a mistake. Bos
ton looks at one politely and now they
are becoming used to this, for more
than one young womanis dressing so.
But New York! We all hear that you
can do nearly anything you want to
in New York, but If you follow this
up you will find that the curiosity of
the people In that city Is colossal and
that you have to stand a good deal
and will need a great deal of courage.
However, I am not the only one in New
York wearing these simple clothes, and
unless I am mistaken, more people will
take it up.
"Once a woman has dressed with the
freedom that was that of the Greeks
she will never willingly again put on
modern clothes. Aside from this, such
things are economical, healthy,, grace
ful. If women will dress naturally
there will be fewer doctors' bills to
pay and we will have a stronger race.'
Artist Leads Movement.
Sydney Carlyle is an artist. His
charming bookplates, his exquisite dec
orations and his dashing posters are
admired by many. Mr. Carlyle is young
and has the strength of the young to
do as he thinks best. For that reason
he has abandoned the clothes of the
modern man to some degree, and if
you should see at any time a young
man on the street clad in a soft shirt,
no hat, trousers of cotton bound in with
thongs below the knee and sandals

The novel opens in the American

edition of a book that has made lta

it is worth reading and debate.
The dramatists- discussed are August

are those of Wilde and Shaw, and here
our author's sense of fairness Is clearly

Shaw "is the most versatile' and cosmo
