One who reads Clara E. Laughlin is at once conscious of moving with her in an atmosphere of vital reality.
Her's is the ability to recognize and uncover elemental feelings without regard to racial or geographical classifications. It is a big chord of universal passion that she strikes in her story, "Jeanne-Marie's Triumph." She recalls the receding memories of the great war and fixes in a well-told story of love and sacrifice some of the tragedies and courageous sorrows that glorified the darkest hour in centuries of history. The beautiful story gathers around the ardent hope that Jeanne-Marie shared with every sister and mother of France who knew the great sorrow—that the "unknown soldier" at rest under the Arc was her own loved one. Clara E. Laughlin knows Paris with the affectionate and detailed intimacy of a native Parisian. The heart equation in the old gardens of the Palais Royale, the Tuilleries and the Luxembourg she understands.
The pride of France in the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Beaux-Arts and the Arc wakes in her a knowing response. It was her French intuitions that qualified her for writing her brief, penetrating story of "Foch the Man" and that vision of Jeanne d'Arc, "Everybody's Birthright."
She believes in the undaunted idealism of France and portrays in this story of the "unknown poilu" her own deep convictions that a better day and world are due, through a loyal devotion to the right on the part of those that remember what they suffered and fought for.
What Jeanne-Marie heard at the side of the grave of her "unknown hero" is that to which all true men and women must respond.
