"Rftlclency" the efficiency which makes
,, man all-powerful In his youth, but which
(Trips fever tighter like a relentless vise
unlit It holds him helpless In his prime
Is' the characteristic of American llfo at
tacked by Sidney L. Nyburg In his ex
cellent novel, "The Conquest" (J. B., Lip
plncott Company, Philadelphia). It Ms a
' daring expose of the Inhumanity of the
adage, "Nothing succeeds like success,
"and of the cruelty of the 20th century
doctrine to crush the last drop of llfo out
of one's own soul and out of other men's
bodies In order to gain power.
The plot Is consistently doveloped, and
simple; perhaps tho author made It pur
posely so In order that tho psychology and
philosophy of John Howard, tho lawyer
hero, might stand out the moro clearly.
Howard, as soon ns ho entered the legal
profession, determined to "get to tho top."
Anything that stood In tho way of his am
bition not only to lead tho legal field, but
to domlnato tho entire financial nnd com
, merclnl life of his city. Baltimore, had
to die. It mattered not whother the pcr-
; son were his legal opponent or his fiancee.
Ho cut hlmsclr free from her as coldly
' as he wrecked tho llfo of tho other.
Finally, when ho was only ono step re
moved from attaining his Ideal, he mar
ried a woman ho did not love In order to
gain tho momentary prestlgo that would
give him tho power ho craved. He con
trolled Baltimore, but a. trail of ruined
lives and broken hearts blazed his path
way to "success." Suddenly, Ills own
shattored llfo ndded tho last mllestono;
he became a physical wreck although his
mind was as at It3 best
"The Conquest" has as a subtitle, "One
Lawyer's Llfo," and Is divided into three
parts: Tho Plan of Battle, A. D. 1892; Tho
Heat of Battle, A. D. 189S. and Tho Spoils
of Battle, A. D. 1913. Tho lovo clement
Is purely Incidental. This Is Mr. Nyburg's
first novel and contains much food for
thought. About a year ago he published
his first book, "The Final Verdict," six
short stories about lawyers.
Tho few defects In Rtvln tintlp,1 ihnn
have been almost entirely obviated In tho
present book. Perhaps the best that can
bo done now Is to repeat a fow sentences
of what this reviewer wrote at the time
"The Final Verdict" appeared.
"Sir. Nyburg's pre-eminent qualification
Is his splondld monologue. (Ono now adds
soliloquy). The character delineation is
as fine as has beon found in present day
The U-boat war which Germany and
Austria are waging on Oreat Hrltnln, and
the controversy In which the United
States has become Involved on account of
the Lusltanla and Arabic, victims of tho
undersea raiders, lend peculiar timeliness
to "Tho Story of tho Submarine" (tho
Century Company, Now York), by Farn
ham Bishop, who Is remembered for his
concise nccount of American work In tho
Canal Zone, through "Panama, Past and
Present,"
Tho origin of the submarine, nnd Its de
velopment Into a terrible nnd spectacular
agent of destruction, are chronologically
presented. Most well-read persons nre
awaro that the perfection of tho sub
marine Is duo to two American, John P
Hollnnd nnd Simon Lake. They know
too, perhaps vaguely from their school his
tories, of the experiments made during the
Civil War to practicnllze the device of
underwnter war craft. The Confederate
"Peripatetic Coflln," which sank six times
beforo It finally was nblo to pot Its prey,
the warship Hutisalotilc, was one of tho
Interesting footnotes In the "Fourteen
W'coks In History" typo of school text
books of a generation ago.
Thl Incident Is only ono of tho many
which Sir. Bishop has nssemblcd In his
first-hand nnd first-rate volume. Tho
British, German nnd Ittisilnn experiments
aro fully described. Such quaint early
efforts ns Cornelius Van Drchel's devlco
of an "Invisible eel" (o "murder tho flat
bottoms" of enemy ships In the velgn
of Jamci I, nnd David Bushnell's Inven
tion offered to the Continental Congress
In the later years of the Bovolutlon nre
described, nnd tho vain endeavors of Hob
ert Fulton to add to his laurels as a
marine Inventor by interesting govern
ments In his submnrlno projects are
noted Then comes a consideration of tho
part tho U-boats have played In the pres.
ent war.
Tho book, which Is Illustrated with
threescore drawings and photographs, Is
comprehensive In n concise way, It Is
valuable for two reasons, tho rapid his
toric and structural survey of the sub
marine and tho pictorial series showing
tho evolution of tho deadliest agent of
modern naval warfare.

Nyburg chooses his words with a fine
feeling for their subtle values, with tho
consequent result that interest is main
tained at a high pitch throughout."
Decidedly n.contrast to "Tho Conquest,"
"Hollyhock House" (Doubleday, Page &
Co., Garden City, N. Y.), Marlon Ameo
Taggart's newest book Is a combination of
"Little Women" and "Pollyanna." It has
Its flock of girls, duplicates of Meg, Jo,
Beth nnd Amy, and It Is suffused with the
optimistic spirit of the little' "glad" girl
But unlike many of tho books of glad
ness, "Hollyhock House" la not stickily
owiiiuu mil-, mo uaruen trio or sisters aro
a winsome lot. There is even a Mary
among them, but she has no limn for
Bfj , singing. She Is 17 and her younc shonl.

but as good and good hearted as can be.
Jane Is 1G, and her fiery temper coin
cides with her red mane. There's a mother,
too, but sho does not count much at first
Sho really needs tho girls' mothering and
loving, and she gets it In a very satis
factory development of a fine book for
girls from 14 to tS. If it were a boys'
book we would say it was a pippin. Possi
bly It may convey the meaning to say
that It is a veritable Maiden Dlush of a
girl's story.
'"Samaritan Mary' Is really entertain
ing," say the publishers in their dcscrlp-
"" "' sjuiiiuor ujckdb novel. These
modest folk are Henry Holt & Co.. New
l'ork.
Tho title character Is Just that a vil
lage character who has a shrewd wit and
a pretty way of putting It Into words. She
Is as full of pithy sayings as Polonlua or
Bartlett's Book of Familiar Quotations,
but she Is not so dull as the former, or so
"reference-bookish" as the latter. She
does not hesitate to speak out her mind,
and her mind Is rather well made up on
many things. It Is a homely sort of mind,
full of cheerfulness and quaint philosophy.
About two years ngo a curious book of
octavo shape and paper covers mndu Its
way Into this country from England. Its
contents wero ns unconventional as Its
make-up. Moreover, It wns entitled
"Blast" (John Lano Company, New York),
a name In Itsolf calculated to arouso In
terest. Tho first volume of "Blast" created
a thirst for more, and now It has come.
"Blast" apparently Is tho outward ex
pression of tho Inward rage that n certain
group of artistic nnd literary robels In
London feels for all that Is stupid nnd
lnano In British life. They call them
selves "vortlclsts," or upholders of the
"vortex" theory of art and existence.
Their movement is an offshoot of the artis
tic rovolt that began with the impression
ists, who have been followed by tho futur
ists, cubists, Imaglsts, etc.
This second number of "Blast" lacks
tho gaiety of tho first. Evidently the war
has cast a pall over the English artistic
world that will not nass In a dav. But
tho new book contains many harmonious
drawings and much clever writing, often
marked hy slncero feeling. One of the
most fascinating things In tho volume Is
a letter from Gaudler-Brszka, the sculp
tor, who afterward was killed In a charge
at Neuvlllo-St. Vaast. Such a letter Is
better than many Bermons against militarism.

LITERARY ANSWERS
Philadelphia's share In the leadership
of the general revival of Interest in poetry
Is strongly praised In the current number
of the Literary Digest That discriminat
ing Journal says editorially:
"The poetry magazines are now firmly
established. Contemporary Verse, which
is published at 203 Chestnut avenue.
Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia, la a new
magazine, which. Judging It by the two
Issues which have so far appeared. Is
certain to receive an enthusiastic welcome.
It contains nothing but poetry no essays,
not even any criticisms. And the poetry
Id admirably selected; it would bo diffi
cult to find any other American magazine'
verse more notable for originality and
Imagination than that which Alls the Feb
ruary number of Contemporary Verse."
Contemporary Verse Is edited by Howard
S. Graham, Jr., Devereux C. Josephs and
Samuel McCoy.
A bookseller recently said that the read
ing public was becoming more serious In
Its tastes. As proof he nolnted tr h onia
of "Men of the Old Stono Age" (Scrlb
ner's). "People who have always bought
the lighter books gave that for Christmas
this year." Perhaps Professor Osborn'a
manner of writing it had something to do
with their choice. One cannot always find
archeology humanly presented.
Helen S. Woodruff, who wrote "Mr.
Doctor Man," Is the acting president of
the Social Committee of the Authors'
Leaguo of America. One of her duties is
to stand at the head of the receiving line
whenever the league gives a social function.

Tho story has a real I'oe-llke twist to It.
It tells of a girl, left an orphan and sent
to live with her nunt in Krnnce. She
mnrries her cousin to pay tho debt sho
feels sho owes his mother. He Is a weak
ling and she n htiong, pleasure-loving
woman She icett 11 friend of his nnd
they fall In love. Tho friend and the wife
finally murder the husband nnd his tlenth
Is supposed to be accidental drowning. Ill
u year they marry nnd live with the girl's
nunt. The crime Is ever before them und
they uio cotiitantly afraid of discovery.
Finally, during a particularly bitter quar
rel, tho aunt overhears the truth. Tho
shock la so great she becomes completely
paralyzed and Is unablo to tell what she
knows, but must continue living on In the
house with her son's murderers.
finally, however, sho succeeds In mak
ing two of her friends understand the
titith, and they go to acctiso the pair only
to find that tho couple, driven frantic by
remorse, have killed themselves.
The story Is very well handled nnd the
climax superb. Violet Horner, as the girl,
and Walter Miller, as Lauraut, the friend,
aro remarkable. Both exceptionally good

a really wonderful ntmosphcro of horror

GRACE LA HUE SINGS
Gives Interesting Recital in Costume
, at Broad Street Theatre
Miss Grace La Ruo gave her second
costume recital of songs In English this
season, at (ho Broad Street Theatre, yes
terday afternoon. Some weeks ago she
gave n similar recital nt the Little The'
atre.
Two Important lessons are taught by
Miss La Rue's unlquo method of recital.
The first Is that clear, definite enunciation
Is appreciated by tho audience probably
even more than the greatest flnesso of
technique. Dr. Ludwlg Wucllner Is another
striking example of this. Tho other les
son, which Mis La Rue emphasises Is
that recitals become much more Intlmato
when the artist breaks nway from 1110
coldi formal rigidity of what has been
considered nu fait on the concert plat,,
form.
Of course, it Is not necessary that nil
singers make several changes of costumo
during tho program, but somo freedom of
action and physical expression should bo
granted the soloist. It la very trying upon
tho nudlenco to sit through DO minutes
of the average song recital. Instrument
alists aro permitted certain liberties, why
not singers?
Mlsi Ln Rue Is an artist of no little
nblllty. Her voice, though delightful, la
not great, but sho uses tho beauty of her
voice to tho best possible advantage. With
ono or two exceptions sho did not succeed
In getting ns much dramatic feeling Into
her voice ns Into her nctlng. Mary Turn
er Salter's ''Cry of Rachel" was probably
her best number, while Burleigh's "Tho
Grey Wolf" would hnvo been admirably

tones

ality, far from belnii Inspirational, la
often cruelly hampering-, and that In
thla business of holding him down
what aro called good women may be
quite ns relentless nnd dangerous aa
what nro called bad women.

By THEODORE DREISER
Author 0 'The OeiilKj," "Slstrr Carrie."
etc. 12mo. Board, lM net,
Mr. Dreiser In this book of one
act plays opens up an entirely new
Held of dramatic possibilities. In the
"natural" plays ha has written the
first truly realistic dramas to come out
of America ; ln the "supernatural"
plays he Introduces a deep and novel
element into dramatic effort. They
are based on the broad foundation of
philosophy, and contain what may be
called, for lack of a more imMfl
term, the fourth dimension.
CHESTERTON on the WAR
THE CRIMES
OF ENGLAND
By GILBERT K. CHESTERTON
Author of "tlerettes." "Orthodoxu.'' etc
IZmo. Cloth. St. 00 nit. '
Brilliant, political, historical, social,
and topical literary essays. "A lut
of England's crimes is furnished, but
they are not those of which she is
accused by the Germans. Among the
best chapters Is The Awakening of
Kngland', and among the finest writing
is the last chapter, on the 'Battle of
the Marne. It Is good to read Mr.
Chesterton once more, and to read him
at hla best." Phtla. i'ubllo Ledger.
