Tbc dokis British in‘cenception, written by an Enghfimnn, A. M. S.. H\ltchmmn, and deals with Enzhlh -eVents. It begins;a few years before the World war, goes through the war period and for some time afterward. ¢Why:do people stay up all night to read it, and then discuss it and read it .again? Certainly not because of the originality of its plot, because what little plot it has can be dupli- cated in a thousand and one other novels; not be- | cause of its sensationalism,« because you would : hardly call it that, although the last 100 pages will make your pulserscamper like a race horse; not because of the spectacular, because it isn’t; not enfirely because of the eccentricities of “its char- cpers, although the.odd Sabre.will commend your i i terest as a likeable ‘“nut”; the impolite. jminister an “the ungracious ~but grave Lord Tybnld will nibké a certain appeal. “'Hérhaps, ‘then; it is the beauty of the dlctlon.

If you were to ask us' we should reply, someone who knows.” f The story is founded on the poem, “Oh, wind, 1fflmmmn, can spritig be far behind?” ’I’fieh{ is plenty of “winter” in the book and not mnch svring. ‘We! suspeét it makes its. appeal -be- cause.in its-own quiet, wild, wierd way it is a hu- man document, which uncovers more completely than ordinarily can be done with words, thuman acts, human frailties, pointing the way, as it does, i ove; pure and strong beyond modern’day vi- sion.

In 1918, our.government calculated .our investments at $1,057,770,000. To this must' be added the enormous developments of the Mexican oil fields, very largely jexploited’ by the -initiative and the capital of the United States. “A . catalogue of Mexican. soil products, from metals and marbles! to edible ~and commercial growths, is astory of ‘the lavsihness of Nature : MMexico grows values.of $600,000,000 per an- mml, yet exports, only 5 per cent of this and im- ports- offset. that 5 per cent. - It produces almost every substance needed by mankind. ~Mexico, a country - denuded of . its: forestation. by, frlghtful waste for wMurlqs, rieeds coal. ‘But it has-a low-’ grade coal, equal’to that of Texas, and even in 71918, there were. ofllclnlly stated to.be 300,000,000 tons in sight.

The hereditary and dffiicult land question is being ad- justed. No trade field is as.attractive, easy and logical for the United States as Mexico. In 1921, ‘the -United-States supplied approximately 85 per cent of 'the Mexican: mrpgrts and ‘took 95 per cent . of the exports of Mexico, That irade can be ‘ex- panded in a féw years by 500 per’cent. And. the ' purchasing - power .of Mexico, increasing rapidly, will become, as capital -flows into- it, of enormous proportions. “The country'’s spirit towards the Umterl States is the friendlieat. Not to meet it would be a fatal pohtxcnl and. commercial ‘mistake. . One can hut echo the ‘recent statement of President Obregon: “Mexico, since the end of the: revolution '(May, 1920), has stood the ‘triple test of politics, finance and arms.

Yes;'it grows plainer!” “In 1894, Stafford managed a stroke which, if fate had not intervened, must have ‘agsured. the ultimate extinction of Corvet’s line or its absorption into Stafford’s. Stafford gained as hispart- ner Franklin Ramsdell, a wealthy man whom: he-had-convinced that the-lake | traffic_offered chances of great’profit; and this connection supplied him with -| the-capital whose lack had been ham- .pering him, as it was still hampering Corvet.- The new firm—Stafford and ‘Ramsdell—projected ‘the construction, with- Ramsdell’s ‘money, of a number ot ‘great-steel frefghters. The first of these—the Miwaka, a test ship whose. {-experience was to guide them in:the construction of the rest—was launched in the. fall of 1895, and was lost on its maiden trip with both Stafford and Ramsdell aboard. The Stafford and Ramsdell ‘ interests .could “not survive the death of both- owners and disap- | peared from ‘the lakes.

The icé had'begun to form very early that yeiir and was already bad; there was cold and & high gale. I had laid up ong of my ships at Manistee, and 1 was ddEsing that night upon a tug to-Manitowoc, where another -was to be-lald up, - E had still a third one’ loading up.on the northern peninsula at | Manistique for a last trip which, if it could be made, would mean a good profit from ' season which so far, be- cause of Stafford’s competition, had been only fair. .After leaving Manis- tee, it grew, still more cold, and I was. afraid the ice would close in on her and keep her where-she was, so I deter- mined to go north that night and see that she got out. None knew, Father, except those aboard the tug, t,hnt I'had made that change. «“iAt midnight, Father, to ‘westward of the Foxes, we heard the four blasts of & steamer in distress—the four long blasts which havé soundéd in my soul ever since! 'We turned toward where we saw the steamer's lights; we went nearer: and, Father, it was his great ship—the Miwaka! We bad heard two days before that she had. passed the Soo; we had not known more than that of where she ‘was. She lad broken her new shatt, Father, and was intact ex- cept for that, but helpless in the rising sea . The prlest proke off. “The Miwaka! I did not understand all that that had meant to him until' just now—the new ship of the rival line, whose building meant for him failure and defeat!'- “There is no higher daty than the rescue of those in peril at sea.

A small line was drifted down to the tug and to this a hawser: was attached ; which - they hauled aboard. .

He came to. the wheelhouse, where Benjamin Corvet was, and they consulted. Then Benjamin Corvet learned that the gther owner was aboard the new: ship as well—Ramsdely—the man whose money. you.have just told me had built this and’was soon to build other ships. and Edwin Balmer e Tak agreed to tow him to Mnnlsuque. The' hight was dark, Father—no snow, but x frightful wind which had been increas- ing until it now sent the waves wash- ing clearacross the tug. ‘We had' gone north an hour when, low upon the wa- ter to'my right/ I saw a light, and there came to me the whistling of a buoy which told-me that we.were pass-:f ing nearer than I would have wished, . even in daytime, to windwa f Boyl- der reef.” There-ate, Father, no'people on that reef; its sides of ragged rock’ go straight down forty fathoms into bt ooked ‘at, he ‘ma the: wheelhouse—at . - Stafford—and _hated him!

We could not plck -up the tow | line again in so close to the reef.
