MODERN WRITERS AND PATRIOTISM.
Conan Doyle's Sharp Criticism.
Outspoken criticism upon the lack of patriotism of certain mo- | dørn writers was uttered by Sirị Arthur Conan Doyle, who presid- d at the dinner at the Authors' Dub, London, in honour of Mr. Henry Arthur Jonës.
Proposing the health of Mr. Janes, · Sir Arthur 'said it was seven years since kir. Jones pro- luced

"I hope we are not going to have Baother tragedy like that of Mr. Thomas Hardy," Sir Arthur. added. "For reasons which have navar been clear to me, but which] I believe. are partially due to criticism be resented, he ceased to write the fcest series of novels: brought out in our generation. But I am sure Mr. Jones is too uuch of a fighting man and fiery particle' aver to be snuffed out by anybody's articles." (Laughter.)|
