- Revietvs of - « world sleuths have it in for Michael, for | * THE FRUITS OF VICTORY. By Nor- man Angell. author of “The Great Hipsion.” New York: The Century Company. NE recalls wvividly the state b of thrilled acceptance in- duced by the reasonableness of Norman Angell's ®The Great Illusion.” The ground fact in “that - argument is that universal economic well-being is the one es- sential for real progress—for progress beyond immediate material needs of food and shelter in order that the higher powers of the human may be free to expand and produce. This general economic well-being depends on an international co-operation in the various fields of production, dis- tribution and further development. Natlonalism, born of bundle of feelings known as patriot- ism, and'supported by military force, is in its nature hostile to general co- operation, subversive of economic -solidarity, and, therefore, inimical to civilization itself: Mr. Angell cites * cases to show nationalism over- reaching itself, the doctrine of force stultifying itself, the victor in war less soynd economically than the vanquished. ‘The Franco-Prussian ‘war exemplifies this point. The great War may do so. The outcome of the ument is to dgmonstrate war as & futile agency of material prosperity. The book brought a tempest about = head of Mr. Angell. Military folks condemned him. Nations damned him. The rank and file de- spised him as a “pacifist.”” Then the | &reat war came on. No word from the diminished advocate of peace. The war is over and the world is counting its change. At this point Mr. Angell emerges with “The Fruits of Victory,” which, step step, point by point, is the author's way of saying “I told you.” The argument is as clear as it was a dozen year Ago, an argument pointed upon the nt. The statement is as force- ful as it was then. The doctrine of an ;:lnfmni:n-.l co-operation is as complete and convincing. A great book—two great books. & THE IMPERIAL ORGY. By Edgar Saltus, author of “The Pomps of Satan,” etc. Liveright. From Ivan the Terrible to Nicholas II this account of the'Rusulnn czars runs—an “orgy” o astonishing length, well toward. four hundred years. And whether the rtuler be ivan or 'Peter or another, he stands New York; Boni & as the embodiment of absolute power, | exercising his. wiil in an unimagin- able ferocity of actiowm So slow and raluctant has been. the emergence of Russia that so lately as three years ago the last cgar gould not escape the whirlwind that the precedent four hundred years had sown. And he shed under a brutality of onset that Ivan and his successors had in- spired in the people themselves. Edgar Saltus, like Carlyle, writes his- tory in picture& across which thun- derings and lightnings crash and flash, a vivid-and objective presenta- tion. One reads with the sense of wading through shambles of tortured men and women in a world where the license of the powerful is law. The western reader has. no interpreting Genters for this strange run of biood that expresses ftself In so complete a lust of savagery; that advances to- ward the western civilization eo slow- 1y, 80 unwillingly.* This last point, this tenacious ‘Aslatic influence that time and great world movements fail overcome in eastern Europe, is the outstanding lesson’ that this highly dramatic crossesection of Russian history brings to the reader as an il- lumination of Russla as it stands, or falls, today. THE PEOPLE . AGAINST SNANCY PRESTON; By.John A. Moroso, au- thor of “The City of Silent Men." New York: Henry Holt & Co. This is the kind of story that knocks 2t everybody's door to ask the sleeping man, or woman, inside what he is going to do about it, since this is clearly that same everybody's immediate concern. The people having created an institu- tion for the equal legal protection of all, #t is indubitably the business of the people o sec that the machinery of this institution functions in the rectitude of its fundamental purpose. In this poi- gnant story John Moroso pillories the law as it too often works out in the underworld of a great city. Two fig- ures stand clear here. One of them is i‘:lnw Preston, the other is Michael ! lorgan. Around them is a rabble of detectives. policemen, shyster lawyers, loose judges—all purchasable with either money or favors. When we meet Nancy she is a hard-working woman trying to support her little boy. When we meet Michael he is in prison. The under- he is strongly suspected of being a gen. tleman carrying out some batty txperl-l ;!)llvnt or other in a fleld that belongs to em. Nancy she was a street walker—a street ‘walker “gone straight.”” Both, you see, are fair game for these purveyors of Justice. Without a thread of melo- drama, in e sheer own brew, Mr. Moroso brings to the sur- face the hunting of these two. One s it in self-reproach, for, diving Into the depths of his own human na- ture, he knows that it is true. knows. too, that he is a shade hypo- ignancy of its critical in his sympathy, for when, to- | wardl the end, it turns out that Michael Horgan has another name. that he is not a criminal at all, that he is pursu- ing @ truer justice for these helpless people’ underneath—it is then, in the Tight of these facts, that the reader gasps and draws back at Michael's love for Nancy, and his open integt to make her his wife. Hypocrites. you see—all of.us. A big tfue, unhappy story, dlwn off from the dregs of human na- ture, in a day that is pleased with its own humane outlook, with its own prog- Tess in civilization. THE TREMBLING OF A LEAF. By ‘W. Somerset Maugham, author of “The Moon and Sixpence,” etc. New York: George H. Doran Com- pany. Mr. Maughham sounds the keynote of this group of South sea stories in a2 poetic and significant sketch of the Pacific as it registers in the heart and soul of one sailing its unbroken immensity. In one mood it is “an empty desert, and presently the emptiness fills you with a vague fore- -boding.” That is the feeling—a feel- ing of “vague foreboding”—that a mates each of these “little stories” from its opening line on through in: dent’ and episode that change .the vagueness to certainty, the forebod- ing to the actual presence of evil and digaster. The sum of these tales is thdt the white man loses himself through au overlong association with the native elements—both the human and natura) elements—of these is- lands of primitive condition. First there is enchantment — and Mr. Maughham pictures the sources of this allurement with fine poetry of /- feeling. And the enchantment merges into melancholy. The two unite in / ‘their softening Influence and indo- lence takes possession. Indifference. fading regrets, unsatisfied moments and. gradually, a falling apart of the man himself, under the loosening ef- fects of the daily life. This is true of Mackintosh—of the first story— who puts himself, finally, out of the way. So, in_eftect, do the most of the central figures in this-group of tales. _ Sinister impressions, inde- soribable fears, strange imprison- Tents of the soul, characterize these stories of the Soyth Sea islands. THREADS. By Frank Stayton. New York: The Century Company. One promptly makes the acquaint- ance here of an interesting family. each of whose members creates an 4ndividual appeal quite his own. Each one—a girl and a couple of boys—is so keenly alive to himself and his own set of substantial interests that . the reader immegdiately wakes up to them, too. Not clever young folks, these—not that at all, happily. Rath- er, alive and intelligent persons ab- ' sorbed in life, But this is not the _story of the children.

Puszled, a bit wistful— but controlled, and, after a little, un- derstanding—this gracious .nd gentle fellcw, conceding all points against him. sets out to win_ his family—the whole kit-and-caboodle— children, wife and even the outside aspirants. The humor and good hu- mor of the man, his steadying phi- losophy, his delightful chivalry, gather in the children first—the girl first of all—the outsiders next, and, finally, the wife. He would have, had her at once, save for his method. A primitive man would have snatched her and had her. His reserves_ pu: zled her and hurt her vanity. How- ever, if that had been his plan we should have had no story, missing, thereby, this truly engaging and lovable man. John Osborne Wynn is & man for this writer to be proud of —for any writer to be proud of. The whole story is one of insight and subtle method. FAIR TO MIDDLING. Bartley, author of * ‘Woman,” etc. TIllustrated by -Ed- ward Ryan. New York: Double- day, Page & Co. A bit of modern realism on the theme of marriage as “far to mid- dling” people take up and work this erplexing business.

A ' THE SHERIFF OF SILVER BOW. By Barton_Braley.

His tutor and friend is the eriff himself, who throughout the adventure stands first as the big and roomy type of man- thdt one places in this region. The business of these two is the circumvention of a band of thieves whose hands are deep In the pockets: of a prosperous corporation. breezy and sun- browned love story adds to the in- terest of the general to-do. daughter of the sheriff and the young man from the east are parties here of the first and second part. In the ups and downs of this changeful life the young man becomes a newspaper reporter. One surmises that this is just what the author of this tale is, or has been, for, in half a page or so—just talking to himself—the youth sums up in masterly fashion just what it needs to be that particular kind of industrial. Indeed, this phge ia good enough for a manual of in- struction to aspirants in this line of work. A lusty, busy, out-of-doors . with venture, and some danger, as its elements of appeal. THE MARY CATHERINE STORIES. Privately published by Frank Carlos Griffith. In a recent issue of The Star a review of this charming little book was printed, which failed to state the circumstances of its authorship and publication. Mary Catherine Lee- Griffith told the stories originally reminiscences of her own childhood, writing them from time to time for “The Hilltop,” a weekly magazine published during the summer months at Poland Spring, Me. After her death, June 28, 1920, Mr. Griffith col- lected them Into this memorial volume. These dozen stories are about “Mary Catherine,” her childhood associa- tio: experiences and adventures, her Iplays, joys and sorrows. told in a delightful style, in which children will find a peculiar charm and with a sympathetic appeal to grown-ups who love the little folks.

The GREAT DECEPTION Bringing Into the Light the Real Meaning’ and Mandate of the Harding Vote as to Peace. By Samuel Colcord er 26, 1920, nearly every great newspaper had under three-column headl?:e? ;:1}‘) first page a great presidential candidate’s favorable answer to a far-reaching proposal in the interests of world peace, which may yet prove of world-wide importance. That propesal was this author’s move from start to finish, but so managed that his name did not appear-in any newspaper. a is only a sample of many news colmuns of work, or its results, without his name. That is wrong. A great cause:requires lhqull leaders do not suppress their own legitimate infinence. Continning their opposition to that mistaken policy, Edwin Ware and Charles H. Richards present the following: MORE OF THE AUTHOR’S HITS By His One-time Volunteer Secretary’ (Continued from a former issue) T was said of Mr. Colcord’s articles that they are “different” in that “they do things.” Many important and nationally known men and women be- lieved that his “Join the Allies™ article in The Outlook, and his series of five articles in the New York Herald, in March, 1917, presenting with irresistible force an entirely new, al and compelling reason, (not even now known, except to a very limited few of the reading public), why we must hasten, to enter the war and sent to all Congressmen and to our foremost national leaders at the exact psychological moment, gave them a new vision and exerted a vital influence upon the great decision. Among many expressions in that direction, Dr. L J. Lansing wrote, “That it helped Congressmen 1o act, I must believe.” Dr. Manning, now Bishop of the Diocese of New York, then the Rector of Ti hurch, wrote, “Remark- able article. No doubt it had its effect in helping to g us to a right position in this life and death struggle.” A distingnished Major General wrote, “I have no doubt it had great influence with members of Congress and the Cab- inet.” On April .23, a few days after we entered the war, Shaw, the well known editor of the Review of Reviews, wrote “What you so clearly see to be the needs of the case, is, [ am confident, now seen with equal clearness at Washington, although it was not seen in March.”” Some letters give him such unbounded credit 1 dare not quote theim. Earlier Dr. Lansing had written to The Outlook, “It is one of the few great utterances upon the present crisis. He sees and clearly reveals whgt I have not hitherto seen presented or defined. It is a momentous sta:e paj worthy of attention and adoption by the government. If sent to each m r of Congress, it would be very influential.” To another he wrote, “The articles evidence a sagacity and penetration not exceeded, if equaled, by any amthor whom 1 have read on the war. ey are the far-seeing utterances of a states man. Their reasonings are invincible—a demonstration. I cannot too gen- erously praise them.” ¥ F Theodore Rnosevelt wrote, “I entirely’ agree with the thesis.” The editors of The Outlook wrote of his Herald articles, “They are of distinct national educational value.” Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, retired, wrote, “They are exceedingly able and exceedingly clear.” (The italics are his.) C. T. Coleran characterized them as “The most important American contribution to the literature of the war.” % A representative of a great publishing house said of these writings, “If we had possessed them as a book before we went into the war, it would have been | a ripper.” They who have read the page proofs of The Great Deception say it will be something like that. . , and appreciated by the advice. H His work in behalf of the end of wars is known best thinkers in the land. Senators write to him for Though his book, “The Great Deception,” with a great marshaling of irresistible facts, makes it plain that the great majority ‘of voters favored going into the League of Nations with strong Americanizing reservations, he makes no appeal for our permanent membership in, the League nor yet in an asso- eiation of nations, which he holds must, 'like the league, be founded upon political expediency. His appeal in the final chapter is for the creation of a new and tnmrrehemin code of internatipnal laws and the erection of a Perma- nent Court of International Justice which, founded upon pri of Liw equity and not of expediency, shall be supreme over all. He wounld make only temporary br limited use of either the existing League or a new association of nations to meet the present world crisis and as a step stone and aid to that “nltimate and greater realization” the supremacy of law and court, and afiter its establishment ta qnfvruxll;a Court’s decrees. i “In a court composed as this would naturally be 'of the greatest jurists of the world, guided and limited in their decisions by.the law and the évidence, he says, “there could be no grave injustice and titere would be no THE GREAT DECEPTION * Buy it todsy. $1.50.
