Hamilton Gibbs. (Author of "Soundings.") In Major Gibbs' latest story, "Labels," published this month, he has contributed a plot, strong, interesting, illuminating. It is strong because il has a logical sequence of events, . dealing with the most fundamental problems of post-war psychology. It. is interesting because it is told in the usual clear cut, straightforwarc.4 style of its author. Why it is illuminating can only be learned by careful reading of the book,-its aims, its purpose, its deductions. ·T he scenes of the story are laid in both England and America; its interest centering mostly about two brothers, one a Conscientious 'Objector, the other a captain in the Eng·lish Army arid winner of a "D. S. 0." Woven into the story are many of the deepest passions of life-hatred, despair,, misunderstandings, love, and ultimate happiness. "Labels" has a charm and interest for an ages; but for the thoughtful reader, who concentrates on and ponders over what he reads, it has a value, a fascination, seldom found in hooks of fiction.
