Berlin (Uermaar) Special Fraoi ACfm Bejerleia. th* ro«in< Eaaoe wrllor. ha* done more with hla cprrla aad dramas of Gera an military life to prove that the pea is mlrhUer than the sword than any author of bis seoeratloa. Two roars a£o an obscure tyro, to-day finds blm famous, and the dominant literary figure of the hour in Germany. Two work a a novel and a play, have won him reputation and fortune: The romance "Jena or Sedan?” and the stirring drama of German barrack life. "Zapfenst retch." Both portray In strikingly vivid form the modem aspect* of German militarism In such reality that the public conscience of all Germany has been aroused a* never before to the evils of the grinding system and all Its attendant bitterness and hardships. • Jena or Sedan?" has broken all German rvcords tor sales. More than 200.000 copies have been printed and sold, a figure never before approached In the History of the German book trade. The kaiser Is said to have thumbed It through three times. Army officers have made It the subject of passionate debate, and 4 the retch stag has rung with angry quotations from Its pages by members of the •oclal democratic party, who find it unrivaled material for their Incessant attacks on the government's military policy. * Beyerleln la a native of a little manufacturing town In Saxony, renowned for the production of Meissen pottery. As a young man of 21 he served bis year with the colon as an artilleryman at the garrison of Pima, near Dresden, where his shrewd powers of observation and retentive memory supplied him with the material with which be was destined later to win literary renown. The garrison of Pima under another name. Is the place at which the scenes described In "Jena or Sedan?" are supposed to have occurred. The Interrogatory tide of the book was chosen by Beyerleln to Indicate that

Lasslng theater In Berlin, and was severely reprimanded by the kaiser for doing to. Beyer!elo's best days art before him. and admirers of his bold style predict a stiU more brilliant career.
