HENRY JAMES CAME OF LITERARY FAMILY Late Novelist Never'Appealed ; to American Readers as ' He Did to English. Henry James. t!ie American novel ist, who died in Ixndon. Monday. .February "S, lived most of his lift.' In England and finally became a British citizen, lie was born In New Tork city April 1.".. 1843. His father i"waa a clergyman anil famous Sweden bprjfiati of the same nam. His brother, tii" lnte" William James of brother, the late Professor William James of Marva-d, attained fame a R psvciu.logist of graceful rien. The family throughout was intelligent and mlt ivated. Henry .lamer" education was of til? fines! After spending some time n the schools of Switzerland and France lie returned to America to enter Har vard university law school. About this time the great American strug gle hetween freedom and slavery be gan, but it Is not recorded that young James, tlien in the prime 'f life, took any active part In it. Inclinations Shown Early. Kven before ISA-.', tiie year lie en tered the Harvard law school. ;-.-- utory-tellinK bent had asserted Itself powerfully. ?t was bis wont to shut himself up in his room for sevenl days at a lime, refusing food except what was brought to him. and devot ing his soul entirely to the task -f evolving- plots, characters and .skill ful descriptions and dialogue. The mi-nilicrs of his family were enthusiastic over his literary produc tions and, contrary to the usual ins", magazine editors soon shared their feelings. Finding that he could well support himself by his pen, his law Went by the board. In 1SH3 he went abroad again, this time to make his residence in Farls. But he soon found that l.nrdnn and nearby spots in England fitted bet ter his temperament and here he spent the major portion of his life, except when taking vacations in Italy. Touched by War. -The great war which broke out in 191 seems to have touched the heart LkJaJnes ' na1 not Deen affected bfTthe mighty American struggle of half a century before. He was deeply disappointed with the United States When .he realized his countrymen did not "intend to throw their armed forces to the assistance of the allies and the succor of ravaged Belgium. He re- 61ved to renounce the Stars nn.l Stripes and become one of the nation Of which most of his friends were Citizens. ;. in his petition for naturalization, ho gave the following- reasons for his de sire to become aBritish subject: "Because having lived and worked In England the best part of 40 years; be cause or my attachment to the coun try, my sympathy with it and its peo pie: because of long friendships, as. aociations and interests formed here these last including the acquisition of some property all these things have brought to a head a desire to throw my moral weight and personal al legiance, for whatever it may be worth. Into the scales of the contending na tions in the present and future fortune." Mr. James was made welcome by the people of his new allegiance. Con gratulations poured In upon him. Not long afterward Mr. James be came seriously ill. While Ms malady was not of an acute nature he was told by his physicians that it would be certainly fatal In a few months. Mr. James' work was never as popu lar in America as it was in England, but he had many admirers in his native country and even his critics ranked him as one of the most masterful writers of the past generation. His writings were of the analytical and metaphysical school of novelists and the full understanding of h,!s work was a matter of endless controversy. To understand. Henry James was, in the popular view, the gift of only a priv ileged few. Awarded Order of Merit. r Mr. James is said to have originated the International novel. His scenes for stories were laid in Kurope and Amer ica, and, as tho titles show, they cov ered a wide ranee of life. In the Harder of their appearance, some of his IMore notable books were: "Watch and Ward," "Roderick Hudson," "Tlie American." "The European," "Daisy Miller," "The Madonna of the Future." 'An International Episode," "Wash- tnrtnn Snnarp'' "Th ady." -The Siege of London." "Tales of Three Cities." "The Bostonians," The Reverberator,'" "A London Life," "The Tragic Muse." "The Lesson of the Master," "The Private Life." Terminations," "The Spoils of Poyn ton," "What Malsie Knew," "The Two Magics," "In the Cage." "The Awkward Age.' "The Soft Side,' "The Sacred Fount," and "The "Wings of the Dove." In the New Tear honors, which King "lGeorge conferred in'January, 1916, Mr. James was awarded the Order of Merit Poetry for March. " A long poem by Edgar Lea Masters and a group of Arizona poems by John Fletcher are the chief features of the March number of Poetry. In the form er the author of the "Spoon River Anthology" offers his original interpre tation of the life and character of Jesus. He presents the man of Naz areth as the citizen of a modern city leader and poet moved by dreams of beauty and .love, and following un flinchingly the commands of his yf-enjus; a man who refused to become tie tool of this or that group in power. apd,: thereby incurred the deadly an tagonism of all whose pride, or pelf depended on the continuance of Ion? accepted systems and compromises.

The Macmlllan company, j. Npw York. $1."J5 net. This Is a thrilling story of the author's adventures !i the war zone. It is not a book of strategy, but a sim ple, direct account of war s ravages on men and women near it. Mr. Sweetser journeyed by bicycle from the Belgian border to Paris. He was held prisoner .by the Germans amid the flames of Kenlis. by the French at the battle of tho Marne and two weeks later at t ho battle of the Aisne; he was handcuffed during a twenty-eight kilometer march to two German prisoners; lie was in Belgium just at the time of the siege of Ant werp. Mr. Sweetser writes of all of these things vividly of the men who glorified in the rlaughtT they wrought, of the defenseless peasant women of northern France and of those, both men and women, who lived in con quered territory. It is war in its ele mental human term.", alway: terrible, sometimes humorous, not always heroic, that he pictures. Interest in Old -Testament. "The Old Testament in the Light of Today," by William Frederic Bade, is attracting attention not only among theologians but also amonir people who are not ordinarily supposed to take much interest in such a subject. In Oakland the only cop in the public library was stolen, and three more had to be purchased immediately to meet the demand for the book. Professor John M. Powis Smith of the University of Chicago considers the book the best which has apieared on the moral de velopment of the Old Testament. In a review in the Biblical World, Pro fessor Smith says: "The author's sp p roach to the task, and his method of operations are admirable. The boo Is so written as to appeal to the layman of intelligence while at the same time it is well worth the attention of care ful students." The Arkansaw Traveler. The Arkansaw Traveler, Chicago, founded In 1882 by Opie Read, is pub lished again this time in magazine form. Harry Stephen Keeler is edltoi and A. J. Gontler is manager.
