By Warren G. Harding. Indlanapolis: The Bobbs-Merril] Company. * HESE addregses by President & 1 .-ding have been gathered up by their editor, Frederick E., Schortemeler, and sent out as a message to the Americaldpeople that they may have in the President's own words his con- ception of the proper course for Amef- icans to take in their Jomestic re- |lations. They constitute, In sum, an appeal toward co-operation, a com- mon understanding, a mutuality of interest, all bent to the achievement of prosperity and happiness for Amer- icans generally. Mr. Harding stands in the doorway of what he devoutly hopes will prove to be an era of good will. It is from this standpoint that he sonds forth thesc messages—to business, to labor, to the farmer, to| American education, to the immi- grant, to other aspects of our com- mon life. Simple, sincere, religious even in spirit, these' messages émbody the author's conception of American natlonality developed and expanded in a noble and selfless enthusiasm for the common weal. L RHODES. By Basil Williams. New York: Henry Holt & Co. He died only nineteen years ago. So there are plenty of people still liv- ing who knew Cecil Rhodes person-: ally, talked with him, worked with him, loved him, hated him. Yet, de- spite his nearaess, there is something mythic and legendary about the man that fires the imagination and impels one to draw him in heroic lines. No biography, however transcriptive it may be, serves to bring the man down to exact prosalc proportions. Mr. Wil- liams' study is, obviously, an intimate examination into the life of Rhodes from first-hand and _exhaustive sources of information. It goes all around him in order to avoid any one- sided view. It takes his faults and his virtues, his mistakes and his in- spirations, as they come, with no de- sire exceDt to interpret the great im- perialist as he actually was. Mr. Wil- liams tells the big story with spirit and zest. One comes out of it know- ing Rhodes better, and in truer pro- ortions, than he kas hitherto known le. He is glad of the South African history embodied in this story, glad of the more intimate acquaintancé with this builder of an empire, and glad, too, that the heroic figure re- mains heroic, with here and there a touch of the grandly pathetic about him. And that touch, also, is goo® for it is endearing. A great story oft a greatly inspiring subject. AN AFRICAN ADVENTURE, By Isaac F. Marcosson. author of “The Re- birth of Russia” etc. Illustrated. New York: John Lane Company. A good newspaper man is, after all, about_the most captivating of writ- ers. He knows well that mere things without liws men behind them have no appeal. He knows that the near engages one, where the remote does not stir him. Mr. Marcosson is a prince of journalists. So, when he reaches Cape Town, at the beginning of this picturesque African adventure, he tells us all about Cape Colony by talking of Gen. Smuts, at this ‘mo- ment_so much in- the public mind. In Rhodesia facts and futures come to life undér the animating spirit of Cecll Rhodes. True to his news sense, he brings the historic Jameson raid up close by reminding us that right in Washington lives 2 man who knew Rhodes and Jameson, who was him- self implicated in the raid and was himself booked for punishment. Up in the Congo region he deéals with its present outlook as a promising part of the world's business life.

A DEFENSE OF LIBERTY. By the Hon. Oliver Brett. P. Putnam’s Sons. Brett takes the stand here that lindividual liberty, up to the top noteh of its consistency with the col- {lective life. is the richest flower of {human_evolution: that its quest has {been the primal urge of man since {he became man; that today Its sup- pression, as in the past, has been the chief cause of political unrest, jand that, when tomorrow comes, it will still be the supreme goal of jhuman strivings. Jn an historic sur- vey he shows that this movement to- New York: G.| little backroom of an alley saloon. Unnoticed, he thefe #oaked up a lot of the ways and mears of politics. As a young man and &n unexpected idealist Peter was able to turn this early knowledge to good acceunt in the political cléaning up that ap- peared to be hfs job in the com- munity. Keen to opportunity, Peter eventually came into thé notice. of influential folks, both in society and In business. From this point on the graphic story has to do with Peter in this wider set of relations, and, finally, with the happy outcomé of his own love adventure. This writer has managed to suffuse zhg‘ clear realism of this account with the en- livening hues of fonmuenuy wrodght romance. One MHkes Peter Cadogan. He is a real fellow. This is a real story, too. VAL OF PARADISE. By Virgie E. Roe, author of “Tharon of Lost Valley,” etc. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co. . Paradise is a pfétufesqué and pros- perous ranch down in the southwes. country. Val is the boy-girl of John Hannon, its owner. John Hannon himself 'provides the Jekyll-and-Hyde element upon which this adventure depends for its well sustained mys- tification. A tragic climax identifies the influential ranchman with the “bladk rustler,” whose spectacular raids have roused the countryside to organized pursuit, John Hannon him- self at the head of this outraged band. The good side of John Hannon sup- ports an ideal domestic life wherein a blind wife and thé girl, Val, center his devotion. A flitting troop of strangers led by a quletly daring youth, generally supposed to be the “black rustler,” diverts the pursuit in the interests of exciting adventure dand furnishes the real clue to the identity of the adroit cattle lifter. This young ~stranger becomés the hero also of this romance with Val of Paradise assisting. The story is full of tense moments that are swiftly swept into the general current of action which rises agaln to a new level of pause and suspense. Close to melodrama, the story is neverthe- less of a quaiity to carry one along, Reenly interested, through its highly romantic cours THE SHIELD OF SILENCE. By Harriet T. Comstock, author of “Mam’sellé Jo,” étc. Frontispiece By George Loughridge. New York: Doubleday, Page & Co. To what extent does the blood strain, on the one hand, determine character and personality, and to what extent, on the otker hand, are these settled by trainlhg and sur- roundings? This familiar query forms the foundation upon which Mrs. Com- stock builds a vivid and interesting story of two girls. Upon the same night these children were brought. new-born, to a refuge in the Virginia mountains. Subsequently they weré reared by the cultured@ and lovable aunt of one of them. Sre herself was not certain which of the two was of her own blood. And the problem, as such, is kept In the background while the two girls expand, each in her own way, under the happy influences around them. It Is upon f{ts surface a delightful fomance, with love and marriage at its close. Even when the story ends only one person in the knows the parentage of the two. This person is one of the girls herself. The romance is not offered as proof, | Rather is it a spirited narrative that plays. comnetently, with this appeal- ing question.

Isolated in the black silence of a night in the wilderness, M. Curwoo n:zkes his confession of faith X liave found what, to me, is God—I have found the heart of nature. I believe that its doors have been opened to me and that | have learned much of its language.” In staking | his doctriné agai he limitations of conventional creeds, man is cned' a8 2 human peacock puffed up with the conviction that eéverything in the universe was created for him, while r100f after proof is given of ,the in- telligence, the heart and the soul of the dumb creatures he has found in “God's country.” Mr. Curwood's fatih, assisted” by the imagination that makes him a writer, inspires the ‘ saying of many beautiful truths. He has had the advantage of living in “God's country” and can, therefore, speak understandingly of natures laws. But he fails to allow that there is, also, & “God's town,” and that there are cbuntless men and women of all creeds, and none, who share his 1ove for natufe but lack the ability—br good fortune— to get it into print. There are few so dull to miss the hiddenisignificance of that primrose by the river's brim. And few 8o ignorant as to refuse na- ture her place fn the scheme of that inscrutable power we know as God. For that reason, Mr. Curwood may relieve his fear of “shocking many Elmule" or that they “may laugh.” e has voiced a very beautiful faith. But it is not original.
