BARBARIANS
By ROBERT W. CHAMBERS
In this story Mr. Chambers deals with the early years of the Great War. Sickened by what seems to them at that time indifference on the part of the American Government, an odd group of men meet on the decks of a mule transport. They have been drawn to this common rendezvous by a desire to enter the war and purge their souls in the fight for the freedom of the world.
There are twelve in the group, eight Americans, three Frenchmen, and a Belgian, and prominent among them is Jim Neeland, whose earlier experiences Mr. Chambers has related in the "Dark Star."
Barbarians records the adventures of these men, not together, but singly or in groups, along the whole western battle front, from the Belgian coast to the mountains of Alsace. It is filled with unusual character sketches of the lives of the men in the Trenches, and of life in the little towns just inside the lines of Battle. Through it all there is great beauty and wonderful sense of justice and right that is indeed more precious than peace.
