Reviews of COOMER ALL By S. B. H Hurst. New York: Harper & Bros. LL his life long Coomer Ali had declared in pious repetition that there was but one God and Mohammed was his Then one day Coomer All prophet. stood straight and cried, “It's a lle! There is no God—and there never was!” That was when the Hooghli in a devastating rampage swept the wife and child of Coomer Ali out to sea. So, Coomer Ali boarded the rusty old brig of Capt. Armit, for he would go to Mecca, the very shrine -of the prophet, there to confound and over- throw this false religion. Now Capt. Armit, three hundred years ago or 80, might have been a Drake or a Haw- kins. In the passage of time, how- ever, his piracy had fallen to petty thieving, his spacious plans to half- baked schemes that he was afrald to set a-sailing. So, Capt. Armit called to his aid one Brown, a half-caste, who was born to plottings and slick, nefarious achievements. These are the three who on board the brig Nizam sail from Calcutta down around the point and up to Bombay, for a pilgrim load to Mecca, then across and, in the last stage of the Jjourney, by camel to the great Mo- hammedan shrine itself. A fresh-fleld for adventure this. A fresh 'line of action. A promising combination of human elements to support the par- ticular spirit of this adventure. The promise passes into fulfiliment in this robust man-size novel. The author has been sailing these eastern seas since he was sixteen years old. He is now around forty. He knows the sea an this particular quarter so Inti- mately that he expresses it in terms of deep understanding. He knows the inside, and the outside of the sort of man that would make up this adven- ture. This double knowledge he sets into a partnership that produces here a novel of so vigorous an appeal that to try to resist it is not worth one's while. And why try to resist so keen a pleasure as waits one in this ad- venture which, by virtue of its pe- culiar freshness and strength, ap- pears to one as a wholly new kind of adventure. THE HEAD OF THE HOUSE OF COOMBE. By Frances Hodgson Burnett, author of “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” etc. New York: Fred- erick A. Stokes Company. A “slice of a house” between two mansions in Mayfair here provides a stage for the continuous performance of _“Feather,” a beautiful young widow, impecunious besides—save for the left-hand generosity of the head of the house of Coombe. That which Eives to this otherwise uninteresting situation an immediate and poignant appeal is Robin, the little daughter of Feather Gareth-Lawless. What might have been merely a clever dra- ma of the smart-and-loose set of London society becomes, by virtue of Robin's existence, the tragic story of a little girl who is forced by a vir- tuous world to take over the obloquy of her mother's frailty. And with this little girl's story Mrs. Burnett does as beautifully _sympathetic work as, years ago, she did with the little boy who made her famous. It is danger- ous for a grown person to try to get back into the feelings and thoughts of a child. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred this person becomes maudli Not Mrs. Burnett, for here is a true and touching picture of a not uncom- mon cause of suffering among chil- dren. The story carries Robin for- ward to her eighteenth year, and the opening of the war. Behind her are most interesting personalities—her mother, Cocombe himself, Donal Muir, who will some day be the head of the house of Coombe:; Dowie, her nurse, and others, each curiously personal and perfect in his or her place. One other stands out on a level with Robin herself as surpassing in appeal. And this story is. really, but a prologue, for—soon, one hopes—there will be the story of Robin as a young woman in the midst of the demands of war upon all England. And in this pa ticular romance one has tremendous interest over the happenings to that “one othey person” as well as interest in a furtheér acquaintance with Robin herself. A very charming and deli- cate invention, this, by way of which this author strengthens herself sub- stantially in the hearts of her read- ers. ADVENTURES IN SWAZILAND; The Story of m South African Hoer. By Owen Rowe O Illustrated from photographs. New York: The Century Company. ‘The keen and unbroken interest of this book lies in its vividness, in its power to take the reader over bodily into the scenes and happenings set down here. And this power in turn rises out of the fact that Mr. O'Niel in his own person lived the substance of this story. He saw these things #nd took part in them from a little boy onward. His playmates and serv ants were the little Kaffir boys. HI | nurse was a native woman. He was only a lad when, under the protec. tion of his uncle, he went into Swazi- land for the first time and saw on that initial visit strange and horri- ble customs that were a part of the common life of these savage tribes. Tribute in gold and gin from Oom Paul kept the restless Swazis quiet. It was the uncle of young O'Niel who went each new moon to pay this trib- ute. He often took the boy with him, and this is how we come to see the Swazis at a practical first hand. As a man he was initiated Into the Swazl tribe. This story is packed with in- cident—always interesting, sometimes incredible, yet we know that it is all true. Educated in England and America, Dr. O'Niel belongs to the South Africa of which he writes here in such vividness of picture, touched with an imagination that lifts the story into the realm of creative writ- ing. An amaszing and captivating story of fact. THIS WORLD OF OURS. By J. H. Curle, author of “The Shadow Show,” ete. New York: George H. Doran Company. He said, “I will g6 down every gold | fmine in the world.” By nature a traveler, by profession a mining en- gineer, the author’s resolution is not s0 vain as it might otherwise appear. He really did go down something like five hundred gold mines scattered among _thirty-eight different coun- tries. But that was not enough for this man of the prodigious wande Just. He dropped the mining and de- voted himself to the traveling. This book is, in part, a record of the great experience. With what seems like an impossible swiftness, the adven- turer moves from country to country. from continent to continent, from the eastern to the western hemisphere. A love of motion, a feeling for the sheer beauty of the world itself, a friendliness for the humans along the way, an insight upon conditions gen- erally—these qualities and powers in the author serve to hand over to one here a book of stirring effect, of wide- awake interest. If one is able to keep his geography on straight, to seize in passing the shreds of history and general information within h Possession, he can ko along here in a state of perfect satisfaction and de- light. This a real wonder book of travel. It Is also that unusual thing —the realization of a dream. The author said to_himself, *I have only. one life; then I am likely to be dead a long time. But before I die there is the beautiful world to see. If Francis Bacon could take all knowl- edge as his province, why should not J try to take this round world of ours for mine ¢ * and I did.” FRENCH FOREIGN POLICY; From Fashoda to Serajevo; 1895-19]4. By Graham H. Stuart, Ph. D., instru tor in political science, University If Winter Comes 345tk Thousand—$2.00 LITTLE, BROWN & CO., Publishers | , i | New Books of Wisconsin. New York: The Cen- tury Company. From Fashoda to Serajevo—1898 to 1914—stands as an important period of French colonial expansion, and by reason of this expansion it stands also as a critical period in the gen- 1 relations of France to the other countries of HMurope. It was around the first of trese two dates that there began the common European scram- ble for points of advantnge in China —a frultful source of friction in Eu- rope. The Fashoda incident. too, stood as a threat between England and France. Italy, allled with Ger- many and Austris, was an uncomfort- able neighbor. The activities of France in Morocco became the target for German suspicion and activity— leading to the Algeciras conference, practically forced by the Kkal and atch of the Panther to Agadir as an open pronouncement against France by Germany. This, roughly, Is the fleld through which this authority presents the foreign policy of France. The outstanding feature of this policy is the ultimate friendship formed between France and England. The outstanding man of this achlevement is M. Delcasse, to whom throughout this friendship stood the end and aim of his fine statesmanship emd genuine patriot- ism. Other important ends were gained—commercial intercourse with Italy, an alllance with Russia, a standing off of Germany—but, far above all these, was the renewed friendship with England, an accom- plishment that was greatly advanced by the wisdom of Edward VII. The study forms an authoritative and op- portune portrayal of a certain phase of French expansion with its particu- lar political implications and facts. 1t gives also a bird's-eye view of the political alms and standing of other European countries in their forelgn relations. It is, besides, an intensely interesting study for 'the general reader, since {t is big In its outlook and perfectly simple and unstilted in \ts manner. ERNEST RENAN. By Lewis Freeman Mott, professor of English in the College of the City of New York. New York: D. Appleton & Co. In an evenly balanced spirit of crit- ical appraisal Dr. Mott here makes a study o the work and influence of Erpest. h an. He begins with the boy in the Jreton village of Treguler with an early outlook upon the priest- hood, since all the men here are priests or fishermen. He follows on to the time when the boy, grown old- er and away at.school, renounces this vocation, drifting here and there in pursuit of his own life. He leads one to the later thinkings and writings of this young man—a new order of thinking, & new quality of writing— work that finally made each of his literary productions an event in the French world of letters, subject of discussion and contention. Through this Frenchman one views the whole of France—glimpses of the revolu- tion of '48, of the second empire, of the Franco-Prussian war, of all that pertains to the intellectual life of his time. Out of it all there emerges a great personality. Here is a wide- open spirit that welcomes every phase of life and thought. Within its own hospitabie recesses this spirit transmutes the current lines of theological and po.itical and philo- sophical thought, humanizing the whole, modernizing it, touching it own personality. It is the man him- self here that counts, since it is the man who has produced this flexible and influential body of essentially modern thought. The work is a fair- minded setting down of the salient facts concerning the life of Renan. As often as this Is possible Renan's own work becomes a part of this body of evidence. The whole is of great value—an illuminating and in- teresting study of a famous and no- tury. place where disembodied souls are supposed to- foregather, this resolute lady betook herself back to her old home, Stoke Rivers, in England, where in a remote part of the anclent house ‘she resumed some of the be- loved associations of bodily life. How long she had been going this no one knows. She might never have been discovered had not Laurence Rivers been summoned from America to walit upon the death of the old man who stood between him and the pos- session of Stokes Rivers. In the tedium_of waiting for a dead man's shoes Laurence ransacked long un- used corners of the great house. It was he who came upon the lady. More than that, he fell in love with her—fell deep in love with a ghost. And months of romance went by be- fore the inevitable shut the lady, for )good and all, from further mundane flittings. And these turn out to be Iideal months, despite the unseizable, Z: 38, the elusive character of the object of { the young man’s passion. Its effect !is that of seeing one's ideal, one's { dream, sufficiently embodied to satis- {fy the finest and most spiritual part of one's self. It is well done, well carried out to meet just this purpose THE DEVIL DRIVES. By E. W. Savi, author of “Banked Fire etc. New York: G. P. Putnam’s Sons. Every British post in India appears to support at least one hard-working English administrator possessed of & pretty and foolish wife who raises the devil generally, while the good hus- band is buried -in official tasks. It is & lady of this stripe who, out of her own hurt vanity, lays obstruc- tions, high and deep, in the way of a youthful romance just setting out on its unsteady way, in the fashion It is only fair to hat the wicked lady ay right here 3 !her unsuspecting _spouse that her il fe's devotion had been his unfail- ingly. Such avowal came only, how- ever, after she had played her last card in the game of shutting off the romance. This card was evidence— of the written and testamentary sort —that Insanity was in the blood of the young lover, and with the evi- dence was coupled a command against marriage and its fateful legacy to posterity. All wrong, as it turned out. The point, however, takes one back to the very long prologue to this story—e tragic little drama em- bodying madness as the most disas- trous of legacies. This prologue serves ultimately to turn the climax of the romance the right way, giving the sort of rounding off that most people exact in their reading of nov- els. Just a hint of everstrain, a touch of melodrama, lles in the situation out of which the romance develops. Once out of England and over into India, however, the author strikes her own spirited pace of good action, sus- tafned situations, plausible outcome and, above all, does she here hold her accustomed skill and power with the Indian setting itseif.

General Grand Master Fay Hemp- stead is sald to be one of the most prominent as well as the best versed Masons in the United States, and in Chicago he was crowned “poet lau- reate of Freemasonry.” He has con- tributed much to literature, includ- ing a history of Arkansas, both for school and library use. The Grand Council of the District will hold a special assembly to re- ceive him in the House of the Temple of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, 16th and S streets, the evening of March 29, and after receiving him forl;mlly will entertain him at a ban- quet. An open meeting, to which all Ma- sons and their friends are invited, will be held in the auditorium of the Central High 8chool the evening of March 30, when prominent. speakers, including' General Grand Master Hempstead himself, will be heard. After the feast coms the fancies, and local Shriners are indulging in dreams that the term of Illustrious Potentate Leonard P. Steuart is going to rank with the notable ad- ministrations of the affairs of Almas Temple. The Star already has given a full account of the things ordi- narily publishable, but the nobles ap- parently want to see some newspaper comment upon the beautiful manner in which the Shrine degree was staged last Wednesday evening. Handsome new scenery, painted es- pecially for Almas Temple, made the opening section of the degree seem like something entirely new. There was the dolce far niente of the orient and the action of the occident combined, with interwoven features th :len themselves admirably to the a wtmosphere. s were espectdlly well pleased, it is sald, with “the oriental charge,” and they fairly overflowed in the welcome back to the divan of Arthur E. Cook—Gus they call him for short—who has been very serious- 1y {ll and has now surmounted all his difficulties, it is said. Call Me Henry was radiant in his new diamond- studded fez and showed no ill effects of his recent battle for life. He was warmly cheered when the nobles were given the opportunity. There was also much satisfaction expressed almost everywhere in the mammoth audience that “the lost sheep had returned to the fold.” The nobles knew what the expression meant, hut a rank outsider never could tell. Past Potentate Francis Asbury Sebring lent his gift of oratory to the pro- ceedings at the business session and also received cheers, while Carter Keene merely reminisced as he fol- lowed with interest the happenings of the night. Almas is said to feel that once agaln it is “all together.” Noble Roger O'Donnell contributed the choicest of his gifts as a ra- conteur in_ entertainment of Noble Walter J. Gilpatrick of Kora Temple, Saco, Me., a guest of the evening, and the merriment was considerably in- creased by the receipt of a telegram from the Eastern Star wife of one of the candidates requesting that he be spared nothing that was justly due him. Director General John J. P. Mul- lane of the Shrine fair and carnival flourished with many smiles a" tele- gram received from Cyril Wither- spoon from New York, explaining that through the courtesy of one of the foreign embassies arrangements had been made which would enable Sir Raoul Colbert and Lady Hen- rietta Stewart to accept the hospital- ity of Almas Temple on the opening night of the fair—tomorrow evening. Past Grand Master and Noble Lem Towers, with S. C. Patchet, assistant commissioner of internal revenue, was an apparently delighted onlooker from one of the honor boxes Wednes- day evening. Other guests of. the evening included Potentate _Smith of Acca Temple, of Richmond, Va. and his divan; Past Potentate Van Gumper of Syria Temple, _Pitts- burgh; Noble Past Grand Master Smith of Michigan, Judge Lovett, Public Printer. Carter, Iliustrious Ar- thur Gray of Khedive Temple, Nor- folk; Noble Harry P. Lait of Salaam Temple, Newark, N. J., who had a fine tribute to pay to Almas Temple's Leglon of Honor. There were many more visitors enguifed in the mam- ‘moth audience. . TENE Albert Pike Lodge, No. 36, tomor- row evening. for the first time since the recent change in_‘its official-per- onnel, will present the M.

Illustrious Deputy Ellwood P. Morey, deputy for the Supreme Council in the District, has asked :he thirty-third de- gree Scottish Rite Masons and the en- tire corps of knights commander of the court of honor to meet him at the cathedral, 3d and E streets northwest, Tuesday evening for a conference after the meeting of Mithras Lodge of Per- fection in connection with matters per- taining to the erection of the new Scot- tish Rite cathedral at 13th and streets northwest, in the near future. The entire matter is to be dlscussed, together with the advisability of ras- ing the membership in the local bodies to the number warranted by the Ma- sonic population of Washington. Sug-, gestions will be invited along all lines connected with both subjects, and it is believed tentative plans will be mapped out for speedy and vigorous actfon with- out further delay, looking to the early erectios of the new cathedral. Mithras Lodge of Perfection will deal with elections and matters of detall connected with the new spring class in_the rite, which will start March 14 with the fourth and fifth degrees, and of which much s sald to be expected. This class will receive its’ thirty-second degree May 23. All master Masons in good standing in the District of Colum- bla are eligible to this class. As soon as the new cathedral is started, the fees will automatically be increased to $200, the present fee being $160. Announce- ment is made that Gen. Edward F. Mc- Glachlin of the Britlsh army, who re- ceived his thirty-second degree in Al- bert Pike Consistory, is now to be ad- dressed as major general. The Cathedral Calendar is authority for the statement that there are five obligatory observances during the year for members of the Order of De Molay. Sunday, March 19, Robert de Bruce Chapter will attend services at Trinity Church, 3d and C streets northwest, for “Devotional day,” one of these ob- servances, Pentalpha Lodge, No. 23, will have the F.

Master Mark Stearman is inviting attention to a special communication of Dawson Lodge, No. 16, scheduled for Tuesday evening, at 0 o'clock, in the commandery asylum. At the lodge meeting Monday evening last Past Grand Master Joseph H. Milans spoke on “Masonic Education.” King David Lodge, No. 28, expects a large class for the M M. degree Tuesday evening, when Kensington Lodge, No. 198, of Kensington, Md., will participate in the work and also be entertained later. King David had a family reunion and dance recently. Potomac Lodge, No. 5, has a dance scheduled for Friday evening. High Priest A. M. Ehrlich of Wash- ington Royal Arch Chapter announces that Scribe Ralph G. Cornell will head the official . line in both degrees in that chapter Thursday evening and that from present Indications the chapter’s alm to get over 400 mem- bers by December 31 is likely to be realized. He states that refresh- ments will be served after the de- gree work. High Priest M. B.
