Few of Iherri linve done more than to record Journalistic Impressions -r throw sidelights on a comparatively re stricted area of activity, nut hero Is a book, "The Diplomacy of the Great War, (Macmlllan & Co., New York), which Klves the wider -view, It puis In ft back ground to the struggle being fought out before our fascinated gaio. It takes the spectator behind the scenes. It explains the why and wherefore of that which has been so confusing to tho averago man. To the Americana Who would under stand tho War this book wilt be Invaluable. Tb the Inhabitant of Pike County, Pa., and Keokuk, la., who perhaps has never been sure whether the Sandjak of Novl- bazar Is a foreign potentate or tho name of a reptlli, It will be Indispensable. To him who would understand why tho French and English, Considered hereditary enemies for a thousand years, are now allies! why the London papers no longir speak of Ilussla as "the bear that walks like a man"! why Bulgaria and Turkey have forgotten the tlalkan wars and nro learning the goose-step together, It will ho most Illuminating. The author, Arthur llullard, known to many readers for his book on tho Panama Canal and his novels, "A Jinn's World' and "Comrade Yottn, writes graphically, I,; vmennwingiy, auu convincingly, no ins- courses In the stylo of one who knows his i - Europe. Frankly admitting his sympathy for the Allies, especially France, he Is yet eminently fair to Germany. He does not hesltato to expose our own Iniquities In other lands and once In a while he. glvi Us food for thought How many Amer icans, for Instance, know that our repre sentative, Mr. "White, played a not Incon spicuous part In tho famous Conference -f Algeclras, but how many of his fellow citi zens know wha he did there? Mr Bullard does not attack diplomats as x class. Ho simply lays their skulduggery beforo us to ponder nt our leisure. Evidence continues to como to the re viewers attention that there Is no danger of an American-Japanese conflict unless prejudice and Jingoism become rampant. Tho latest book on tho problem of Nippon and the rest of the world Is "Tho Japa- J neso Crisis," by James A. B. Schcrcr (Fred erick A. Stokes Company, New York). The author, who Is president of the Throop College of Technology, spent a number of years among tho Japanese, both In private life and In the educational service of the Imperial Government. Since 1308 he hns ' lived In California, tho hotbed of anti-Japanese sentiment. As a result of his first hand knowledge of the situation ho raises his voice agnlnst the scaremongers who would, create a real crisis out of tho .un pleasantness which ha3 resulted from misunderstanding. "Julius Caesar" and "The Merchant of Venice" the first two volumes In tho Globe Theatre Shakespeare have Just come to hand from Harper & Brothers. This edition, edited by Daniel Homer Klch, has two laudable objects; first, to afford assistance of a practical kind to the boy or girl who may- bo reading his first hnkespeureau text! and, second, to present the plays essentially as perform ances on the stage of the Globe Theatre rather than as works 'of poetic nrt. There ' are Introductions, notes, questions, and a sketch of Shakespeare's life. "The Hidden Spring," by Clarence B. Kelland (Harper & Brother, X. Y.), Is a Very Interesting Btory of a poor young lawyer and his struggles to gain recogni tion ir a small lumbering town of the l Middle west. One day a rich and power- IV zul man, who virtually owned the town and all It contained, kicked the young law yer's dog. This started a train of lively incidents and situations from which the lawyer emerged victorious over tho mag nate, the latter stripped of hla dishonest and blood-stained riches. The lawyer, no longer poor, obtains an excellent position and a handsome wife, and the dog receives a tine collar, which Is as It should be. Today Harper & Bros, will publish three new novels: "People Like That," by Kate Langley Bosher; "They of the High Trails." by Hamlin Garland, and "Seven Miles to Arden," by Ruth Sawyer. In addition they will Issue "A-B-C of Cook Ins:," by Christine Terhune Herrlck, and "War Path and Hunting Trail." by Elmer Itussell Gresor.

Mr. Joyce has been a newspaper man of wore than 30 years' residence In this city and has had much experience in historical research. He is author of a history of King's County, Ireland, and has Just com pleted a history of Ireland. Ills style of writing; 1b simple, but clear and Incisive, and that he will turn out a creditable work there can be no doubt, for he has newspaper training-, practical knowledge of nls suDject and literary tty oi pis side.

The Author of the "Jacob Stahl" Trilogy, Him self a Noted Realist, Traces the Probable De velopment of Romance and "Synthetic Thought" By J. D. Ml Y OPINION' as to the effect this awful war will have upon Kngllsh (and In that description 1 am not, now, Including American) literature would far outrun tho limits of four or five thousand words; but on brond lines I nm willing to risk a prophecy and to abide by It Until 1 have been proved Incompetent. In the first place. 1 unn only see the Immediate future, fay 10 years; nnd even tho evolution during that period may be greatly affected by Influences nrlslng out of economic and labor troubles In Great Britain. In tho second place, I see two concurrent lines of development, but which will eventually swamp the other I do not dare to say, Ono of these lines Is the Inevitable re vival of romance, a general reaction ngalnst the Intimidating facts of a real Ism which Beemcd likely, only two years ago, to bo leading up to a new expression of the English novel the kind of real ism associated with Frank Norrls or Arnold Bennett. The present demand from the book public Is for "diversion nnd relaxation" ; for novels without any kind of criticism or purpose. Our renders nro surfeited with tho bit ter horrors nnd fncts of dally life ; they do not want second-hand icports of them. And this dcninnd will Inevitably have Its effect upon production. The great mass of our mediocre writers will rush to lill the want, and publishers will look sus piciously nt any hint of didacticism In tho work submitted to them. Subsidiary to this rectlonary phase, we shall wit ness, us soon as tho actual experiences of the wnr arc modified by the passago of time (six months will do It!) nn output of books of every kind dealing nt first hand with every aspect of tho immense struggle. Already we havo had the forerunners VERSE FILLS MANY NEW SPRING VOLUMES Poetry From John G. Neihardt in Heightened Vein "Turns and Movies" to Boot To those who have known, or sensed, John G. Neihardt as a r.ort of corollary to Robert IV. Service, perusal of "The Song of Hugh Glass" (Macnilllnn Company. New York), will unveil a pleasurable surprise. Hitherto, Mr. Neihardt lias not shown himself other than a quite third rate singer nnd fourth-rate artificer, but In his new book ho has built deeply nnd well. It Is a long narrative poem, an epic of the Missouri Itlvcr, fashioned In the stopped couplets of William Murri.i. but fresh, vigorous, richly and sincerely phrased. Indeed, Mr. Neihardt has done surprising things with his medium. Ono can credit his prefatory statement that he began, to prepare the poem In 1908. The result .Is apparent. .Nothing1 Is more difficult to render In tero'stlng than such narrative poetry; knowledge of form, dramatic suscepti bility, the sense of character, all are Im perative, and all nro apparent In "Tho Song of Hugh Glaus." But the best iiunl Ity of all which this work demands is a far larger achievement; that Is. tho Intcr blcndlng of the man with ' cene, that conveyance of the sensat'on of Interde pendence of earth and humanity, the sort of art that makes Meleagcr's last speeches and the early part of "Far From tho Madding Crowd," and the heath scene from "King Lear" what they are. This, too. In a smaller way, Mr. Nelhardt's volume contains. And this it Is that lends to his volume tho stature of the epic. From tho fragrnnco of Neihardt, one turns to Conrad Aiken's green-clad "Turns and Movies" (Houghton-Mlfflln Company, Boston). Here Is matter that tho Phari see probably would dismiss as coarse and brutal and tho lover of dissection ns in spired psychology. The right estimate, we think. Is somewhere between the two. The book is not a success ; Mr. Aiken has cho sen too strangely of subject to be reward ed with that, rlnce he Is not a great hu manist nor a sufficiently accomplished writer. His "Turns" nre vaudeville per sons, some flashing, some unnatural, some Just stupid.

That phase, however, will obviously be evanescent, al though such flrst-class writers as, say, Perceval Gibbon will, no doubt, make literature out of their personal experi ences for many years to come. I come how to tho eeroml line, which must for a time, at all events, br some what In the background. 1 hope to find our better realists, nnd more particu larly I hope to find H. O. Wells, becoming tnoro synthetic. All their comments on the social developments that. In a sense, culminated In August, 1914, have been largely nullified. But even such a world-wide catastrophe as the war will not kill thought nor alter the essential, fundamental attitudes of Hie average man. Ncvertheles. 1 think tho criticisms of those writers whom I havo typified by a single nnmc will have to take a wider scope. The now conditions will be Impermanent nnd will hold a greater potentiality for change. The need for harping on ono string will be less; the need for practical, Immedinte suggestion Immensely greater. But all these more or lens logical de ductions from known premises may be destroyed by the coming of genius. ' (I know only one at present among the younger novelists, I mean t). II. Law rence; rind It Is dlincult to sny what effect tho war will eventually have upon him. At present It hns had the effect of killing his desire to write.) And genius may up set the most rational prophecy. 1 may, however. Insist by way of sum many on my primary statement, which Is that for the next five years, at lenEt, Kngllsh literature will decline In rnmllty. I sco no hope of avoiding that Inference. What Is America going to do to nil the gap? (a few of the twists of Insight are mar velous) nnd the vision of paltry tragedy, of all-devouring egotism, Is swift nnd sure. But the purgntlon of pity Mr. Aiken does not know, so his analyses remain ncute studies, never touching. Nor do hla varied rhyme nnd rhythm schemes sntlsty. He has laid a curious mosaic of uneven pat tern leading up to no temple. ... i Millwatcr Pastorals Is from the same press. It Is by Paul Shlvell, with nn In troduction by his patron. Illlss Perry, who hints at nn affinity In material of the poet nith Robert Frost anil ICdgnr Lee Masters. He Is mistaken, and Mr. Shlvell Is mis taken, too. If he hopes to gain apprecia tion so easily. For his verses, bearing the Imprint of a sober and rather heavy mind, are neither magnificent In grayness nor sparkling with the light of lyric move ment. Frankly, they are dull, and Ills son nets show this dulncss with fatal clarity. He Is not a bnd prosodlst ; he does not lack the human touch; ho Is frank nnd un torted nnd simple of tongue. Alas, that he should not havo clasped what he sought! An anthology of "Georgian Poetry" Is G. P. Putnam's Sons' offering. No doubt there are acuities and cleverness In It galore, but how unlmportnnt they seem beside that section devoted to Rupert Brooke! Whoever can bear to leave that blossoming plot of ground In .which "Beauty and Beauty" rwtfjtUicflhnrinct on after lifo are flowors, to foUpw Gordon Bottomloy nnd I.ascellcs Abercromblc, Is no lover of poetry.

The pivot about whom they revolve Is- a girl In training to be a social worker, a girl of excellent birth nnd education and fine taste and spirituality. "The Rudder" (the Macmlllan Co.. N. Y.) Is In every respect a fitting successor to the author'n "Nathan Burke." it Is as closely ibserveil a transcript of our modern days as the early notable book was iff the middle of tho last century In the developing United States.

As It Is, the latter half of tho book docs not bear out tho high prom lie. of the first part. The explanation Ciocs not measuro up to tho development of the plot. In fact. It drags at times, whereas In the earlier chapters the story Is unfolded rapidly and with ono thrill following closely upon the heels of nn othcr. But, even admitting this fault of construction, there Is no gainsaying tho fact that, as detective stories go, this Is ono of the most unusual and most read able that has been published In n long time. When Mnrlon Ornylord, the heroine of I'dfrld A. Bingham's tn-v of .ntr'i life, "Tho Henrt of Thunder Mountain." (Little. Brown & Co.). first looked into tho eyes of Philip Hnlg, "she felt that sho was going to hate linn. ' Tlie mitnm- f-iiys - j. but the sophisticated reader doesn't tnl;o the nuthor's word for it. On the contrary, the s. r. Is quite suro that Philip, for all his rude ways, will turn out to be the hero of the piece and that Marlon will fall desperately in love with Jiltn. All this proves how unerring Is the Instinct of those who hnve grown accustomed to the plot of the wild western novel. Of course, this plot Is subject to nil sorts of elabora tion, hut In Its skeleton framework It Is always the same. K.-u'i author who adopts It nlso can dress It up according lo his tastes In local color. The autho of "The Heart of Thunder Mountain" Is especially strong on color. "Mitchell's Guide to the Game of Chess" (David McKay. Philadelphia) Is unique. It is really a book of Instruction for the beginners. Mr. Mitchell, who Is chess nnd checker editor of the Punui: I.kixieh. not only states the rules and explains the different pieces, but carries through a number of games to their conclusion with notes telling why certain moves wore preferred when there were several op tions. At the end the author has 'pre pared a review of questions for the be ginner to answer. This Is nn Innovation.
