LIFE; Chapters from Business Career of Theodore N. Vail. By Albert Bigelow Palne, author of, Twain; a Blography,” et York: Harper & Bros, Paine knows how to pick his biographic subjects. Back of that, it is obvious, he knows, also, how to pick his friends. His biographies are, therefore, big and friendly and I1dl mate and human. These chaptef! from the life of Theodore N. Vail round out a story of genius that marches in step with the present mo- ment. Intercommunication—the ex- change of ideas throughout the world, without loss of Lime—was the genius that dominated the life of this mod- érn man. Mr. Vail's work in this di-| rection began with the United States mails, improving distribution, orig-- inating mall cars and car post offices, securing, finally, fast mail trains. Then, this organizing power shifted to the telephone, developing a busi- ness, creaiing a 'system, achieving a partnership with the telegraph—a ! monumental work of incalculable im- portance. Turning the far continents of the.world into a near neighborhood through the medium of a practically instantaneous communication is an unparalleled triumph. The whole story I8 a brilliant and fascinating {one. The man himself—rich In his nature, genuinely kind in his heart— is. quite apart from his a hievements. a man to Kknow.

New York: The Macmiliun Company. Colleges and universities, so the newspapers tell us, are turning more | than ever toward the subject of in- ternational relations. Even the hools below these are pointing. { logically and practically, upon the | beginnings of this theme. The book {in hand is shaped as a direct response to the demand for a comprehensive and simple treatment of the subject. The author prepared the eight lec- tures of which the book is made to | meet certain fundamental questions ithat are coming to the front about j the nature of the future international {relations of the world. The first lec- ture is purely historical, summariz- ing the relations of early tribes and { states to one another. Beyond th | the lectures deal with the immediate | past—the great war in its effects iupon the old world—and the logical | promise of the future. The causes {of the war., the international rela- tions springing directly from it, the { character of the new diplomacy. the | expansion of international law. the { education of the people toward an { intelligent responsibility in matters both domestic and foreign—these are | {among the themes which the suthor | discusses as a means of averting war and promoting an economic co-opera- tion throughout the world. No other man could have presented this series of lectures to an American public with the force and response which this author could employ and receive. He knows America, fn its historical and political aspects, as no other | Englisfman knows it. He is, or was, in immediate touch with the politics of his own country and of all Europe as well. These facts, coupled with { the substance of the book itself. pro- duce a volume of high promise to the student of international relations. VATE CHARACTE OF | N ELIZABETH.

Mead & ( For three hundred years and more, now. common consent has accordad to lizabetii Tudor no personal character whatsocver. The scnoolgirl's compos tion on this monarch has, in sum. em- bodied the average estimate—"Queen Elizabeth was a very improper person; { but, by great tact, she succeeded in be- ing called a V.rgin Queen after she was dead.” The writer himself ‘“never doubted that Elizabeth was the mis- tress of Leicester, of Esscx, of Raleigh. of Hatton,” etc., etc. However, as gal- {lant queen in a remarkable age, as astute politiciai, as patriot bent to the lasting glory of England, she deserves, | according to_this author, a_better set- | ting forth than she has hitherto re- { ceived. So. about eight vears ago. Mr. Chamberlin began to fit himself for a blography of Ellzabeth. He soon found that the accepted historians of the pe- riod—Froude and Lingard—were, in ef- i fect, writing of the religious contro- versy of the time. Froude, Protestant. was bent to the sanctification of Henry VIIi—the daughter of Anne Boleyn re- ceived short shrift from him. Lingard, Catholic, wrote with an eye across the border, to the Catholic succession of the | crown of England. This writer was, | therefore, driven to the original manu- | scripts of the period. And this turn fashioned the book in hand. These manuscripts form the foundation of this remarkable book. They stand as docu- mentary evidence in refutation of the great bulk of oblogquy that time, in ever: increasing weight. has piled against the memory of the great Tudor gueen. At the earlyage of thirteen Elizabeth became the quarry of ambitious factions around the throne. Even then she showed a train- ed mind and a high genius for affairs of stat One chapter submits, bodily, {he medical record of Elizabeth, an illu- mination against calumn; Another presents the formal charges against the | Queen, with the tross-examination of j these charges, and the defense set up. | The study is a revelation. an Interesting and valuable contribution to history. | | As.a method it is an admirable example e Batteries ‘to be Westing- house, must be good.

By Ada Barnett. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co. Dick Carey moved through to the other side by way of the great war. Thorpe.farm, which he had loved and beautified fell into the hands of a woman, much like Dick Carey him- self in her passion for beauty and her friendliness for every sort of living thing. This story is that of the part- nership of the two—not from con- scious communication, but from the woman's subconscious certainty that Dick Carey was still in command for the fulfiliment of his dream for Thorpe farm. The story is so na- turally and simply worked out, B0 subtly projected, that one comes to feel it a most plausible ‘thing for; one’s influence to remain where he has through the years put the best of himself, even though he, himself, in the body is on the other side. Not a weird story, nor a queer one. In- stead it is a bright and wholesome projection of what might easily prove to be the truth.of the matter itself. A very delicate and beautiful plece of work that is bound to enlist the sympathetic realling of many. TOILERS OF THE TRAILS. George Marsh. Frank E. Schoonover. phla: The Penn Publishing Com- pany. Nine short stories——all brought | down from away up north around Hudson bay and Rupertland.

As| man stories they portray the shortj and simple codc of out-of-the-way | places. One is going to rcmember and go buck to Gaspard Laroque and his husky Loup, who put one over on the German boat drifted up that way during the war to capture an English post. “When the Prince Came Home" is a tale that Terhunme himself would love.

Not an entirely new story ! zood one, nevertheless, to revive for| the summer reading of the Boy Scout. | The Mojave desert is. to be sure, even ! in imagination, a hot spot for sum- mer adventure. but it has. at least, the charm of newness to the great body of scouts. And the author pre- ! sents this strip of the southwest with ! a knowing Intimacy. in a familiar acquaintance with its fickle moods of sandstorm and sudden calm, of its mirage effects of early dawn, its bi- zarre splendors of sunset. He sup- plies this new stage with adventures there is enough of danger. and enough of escape, to keep the average scout reader on the tiptoe of excitement. Gold hunters, run- awaye, lost travelers, and even a lost automobile, provide the two Boy Scouts of this story with steady busi- ness and tremendous enthusiasm. The stamp of the book is that the author takes the bovs in as equals. This i not a story of denatured adventure: There is no writing down to an as- sumed lower level of understanding either on the part of the two | of this tale, or on the part of thos who are expected to read it MADAME VALCOUR'S LODGER.

Valcour herself. rather than her “lodger” who, in this pleas- ant story, attracts the attention and holds the interest of the ‘reader. Keenly appreciative of the common traits of French character, the author | has, in both Mme. and M. Valcour, created. in a blend of insight and humor. persons of interest and| charm. The romance is of the aver-| age. The “lodger.” a scientific in-| vestigator of no very great appeal talls in love, naturaily, with Geor glana, sophisticated young woman of | soclety who is taking a turn at teach- | ing French with Mme.
