vOtfHER NEW NOVELS
John GAlsworthy writes In his Introduc
tion to W. II. Hudson's' "Green Mansion":
"Of all living authors, now that Tolstoy has
irons, I could least dlspenss with W. H.
Hudson. Why do I lovo his writing so?
I think because he Is of all living writers
that I read tha rarest spirit and has the
clearest gift of com eying to me that spirit
Without apparent effort ha takes you with
hint Into a. nye, free, natural world, and
(ways you are refreshed, stimulated, en
larged by golnp there. Its Is, of course, a
distinguished naturalist, probably the most
.acute, broad-minded and understanding ob
server of nature living, but that Is a mere
fraction of his value and Interest Tho ex
pert knowledge which IIudBon has of na
ture gives to all his work backbono and
curety of fibre and to his sense of beauty
an Intimate actuality. But his real emi
nence and extraordinary attraction lie In
his spirit and philosophy. As a simple nar
rator ho Is well-nigh unsurpassed; as a
stylist he has few If any living equals. Ho
puts down what ho sees and feels, out of
sheer love of tho things seen and the emo
tion felt"
"Green Mansions" Is a tale of a young
Veneiuelan whq flies into the forest of
Oulana on account of a political revolution.
There ha lives the wild life of tho native
savages. In his wanderings, he meets an
old white man nnd his fairylike grand
daughter. The plot, upon which tho author
hangs his wondqrful talo of nature, con
cerns Itself with their troubles with the
t-( iiauvcs ana me neros ioo xor ino mam.
'Green Mansions minht be called a mvstlc
'.' " fairy tale of the troDlcal forest of South
America.
As Mr. Galsworthy says: "A story which
Immortalises. I think, as passlonato a lovo
of all beautiful things as ever was In the
heart of man."
Three years.thls reviewer voicing an opin
ion upon a novel with tho misleading title,
"My Lovo and I," by a new author, Martin
Itedfleld, said:
"Hero Is a compelling story full of dig
nity and truth; a talo well streaked with
a noble philosophy and told In high mastery
of the word." v
He now quotes his provlous comment,
applying it to Alice Brown's "Tho Pris
oner" (Macmlllan Company). Allco3rown,
under the non de plume of Martin Redfleld,
Was the author of "My Lovo and I," and Is
also tho author of "Children of Earth," tho
$10,000 prize play chonen from nmong 4000
manuscripts by Mr. Ames, of tho New
Tork Little Theatre, as the most notable in
theme and characterization.
"Tho Prisoner" Is tho story of a man who,
coming from serving time in a Federal
prison, works out In his own way tho prob
lem of his own salvation. How he does It
Miss Brown delightfully portrays In chap
ters of genuine dramatic quality nnd true
literary power. The book will hold tho
reader fascinatingly to tho last word.
Kate Mariner's heart of gold and Erich
Wheat's justice-loving spirit are tho winning
combination that is likely to give Grace
Eartwoll Mason's story of the California
desert-"The Golden Hope" (D. Appleton &
Co.. Now York), a place among tho most
recent crop of "best sellers" in a popular
Class of. fiction. It is a tale of tho country
north of Death Valley, Just cast of the
Sierras. Kate and her worthless husband.
f Save Mariner, come Into contact with Erich
Wheat who In his fight to obtain water
rights for the settlers Is opposed by a
clique of grafters, but finds a sympathetic
ally in golden-hearted Kate. Incidentally,
they fall In lovo with one another, but
both are strong enough to resist temptation
and the narrative, which has all the charm
of the West, comes to a highly satisfactory
conclusion.
Two fascinating books on art recently
published are Frank J. Mather'B "Estimates
In Art" and Ralph Adams Cram's "The'
Gothio Quest" (Scrlbner and Doubleday,
Page, respectively). Mr. Mather la Mar
quand professor of art at Princeton and Mr.
Cram Is practitioner Of the great art of
architecture. BotH write as artists, with
the balance In freedom and ease In favor of
Mr. Mather and In delicacy In favor of .Mr.
Cram. Mr. Mather's book Is a series of
essays connected only by their author's
sanity of outlook, He 13 unimpressed by
current fluctuations bf taste and his con
tempt for Sorolla is as clean as his admira
tion for Ooya. Time and the enthusiasms
of the few (arch-enemy of art anyhow) can
not affect a critic who Has some Interest In
art and a vellelty. If nothing more, for taste.
Similarly, Mr. Cram can have vory little to
do with movements, as movements, because
his inclination is the heretical fancy for
orthodoxy. In tho grand schema of his ar
gument Mr. Cram's Catholicism Is essential
and essentially acceptable. It creeps in.
without dignity at times. In detail and
makes what one has been In the habit of
accepting seem sqmehow arrogant and al
most offensive. It Is, In short, lacking In
taste, a little, and In the calm serenity of
the subject It treats. Yet when Mr, Cram
insists that "Gothic" art should be called
Christian art, and should be taught as
something Indispensable In our civilization,
he makes a good case. Ills attack on the
Beaux Arts Is a bit restricted In interest
but Its virulence Is admirable, both when let
loose and when restrained. The arts are so
much uncultivated In America that dilet
tantism easily carries oft the day. The
authors whose books appear so closely to
gether are not dilettantes.
Helen Grard has made art excellent trans
lation of Andre ilaurel's "A Month in
Home" (G P. Putnam's Sons. New York).
The volume Is more pretentious than Its
small size would lead, one to suspect The
80 ground plans of the sections pf the
city covered during each day of the tour
and the lllustratlqns'are noteworthy. Mnurel
is an appreciative observer apd, haa ab
sorbed the true spirit 'of Home and its his
toric environs as fqw, other BVWes. have suc
ceeded in doing ?
Professor Albert Bushnell Hart needs
tuf- Introduction to-fd-rs of books on po
lltlcal and historical topics. In bis latest
work. 'The Monroe Doctrine," XLtttle,
Brawn. Co, Boston), he considers his
subject from all angles: history and geo.
graph, social, economic: find political de
velopments and conditions, war and peace,
tha past, the present, and the future. He
presents Jhe views of others, North Ameri
cans, South Americans, Europeans, Orient
als and offers criticisms and suggestions of
hi own. In conclusion be yrges Immediate
nd thorough, preparedness as tha only
poslto means of preserving? the Monroe
Xcmut.
to the 11 npostles. The book deserves k wide
popularity, and It Is suggested to librarians
that to this end It should be placed on the
shelves either with the "Biographical
Slildes" pr with tho "Essays."
"Tho Assault" (Bobbs. Merrill Co, In
dianapolis), despite ltd formidable title, li
not a war book, it is the personal record
of an American correspondent whd lived
In Berlin for 18 years prior to August 1,
1914, at that tlmo being correspondent for
the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune
nnd the London Mall, In Intensely pro-
Ally manner tho book outlines the causos
that In the author'n opinion, systematically
nnd cold-bloodedly led through 10 years
or more to the German declaration of war
and Its preceding Invasion of Belgium, to
gether with a resumo of his impressions
nnd experiences an a member of the London
staff of the Dally Mall during tho first
year of the war. In Interesting and direct
fashion, Mr. Wile tells how he was arrest
ed by tho Kaiser s police as an English spy
tho day war was declared, paying a. high
tribute to Ambassador Gerard, who se
cured his release.
"Tho Assault" wilt have an equal Inter
est with hundreds of books that have been
written upon and about tho war, and no
more, despite that It Is generally ably writ
ten and embolllshed with Interesting photo
graphs and fac-slmlles of German and Eng
lish documents and cartoons.
Dr. John D. Qunckenbos, n well-known
scientist and physician, makes an inquiry
Into the subconscious In "Body and Spirit"
(Harper &, Brothers, New York). Ills prop
ositions are;
If a man could be Impelled to pro-
Ject alt that he Is we should soon be
a race of tho gods.
Wo aro Indeed greater, more richly
endowed, mora supereminently puis
sant than wo know,
Man Is under obligation to use his
psychic forces so far as ho Is nble.
Dr. Qunckenbos' deductions arc based on
12,000 actual experiences nnd cases In his
own practice of psychotherapy.
Ho discusses tho potentiality of pscho
therapy In control of disease, particularly
mental maladies ; tho reconstruction of
charnctor, tho dovolopment of moral power
and tho cultivation of esthetic sensibilities
Tho book has distinct value and timely Im
portance. The J. B. Llpplncott Company will pub
lish In Juno n novel of adventure In thai
49 by John Foster, "Tho Bright Eyes of
Danger." "Ten Beautiful Years" Is a series
of unusual short stories, by Mary Knight
Potter. A book sure to delight lovorn of
tho Bard, whoso tercentenary we aro cele
brating, as well ai lovera of gems. Is Dr.
George F. Kunz'n "Shakespeare and
Proclous Stones." If there Is any subject
that gentle Will did not treat with wide
and accurate knowledge nnd skill it cer
tainly Is not precious stones. The fourth
edition of T. Everett Harre's "Behold tho
Woman" Is announced by the J. B Llppln
cott Company.
A French translation of "Fighting France,"
Mrs. Wharton's book of tho war, Is about
to bo published In France under tho tltlo
"Voyages atl Front " It will be remem
bered that Mrs. Wharton was awarded tho
Legion of Honor for her services to France,
where she la universally beloved, and It is
believed that tho French edition of this book
will be received with great enthusiasm. It
Is the fourth largo edition to date.
The attempt to formulate an American
forolgn policy that will meet the now con
ditions and save this country from tho bur
den of hugo armaments Is a task that
Roland Usher, professor of history nt the
Washington University, St. Louis, has suc
ceeded In doing remarkably well In his "The
Challenge of the Future" (Houghton Mifflin
Company, Boston, Mass). Tha olumo Is
not a forecast of what tho American for
eign policy will be nor Is It n prophecy of
coming events, but Is an essay In expedi
ency. The conclusion at which the author
arrives, that America should form an alll
nnco with Great Britain, will como as a
shock to many of tho readers of tho author's
othor volumes, but It is welt supported with
logical arguments.
Growing suddenly conscious of Europe
may have hurt the American people, but
It will do them good In tho end. To that
ond such a book ns C. H. C. Wright's "His
tory of the Third French Republic"
(Houghton Mlfilln Company) contributes
mightily. It outlines clearly, tactfully, the
difficulties of tho republic founded in the
shadow of Sedan and traces the develop
ment of that government from tho tenta
tive stage to the permanence so recently
aftlrmed. The handling of tho affalro Drey
fus and of the separation of Church nnd
Stato la particularly clear, clean of preju

Librarians nnd others hae been some
what puzzled by the name Francis o
Sullian tlghe, author of "The Portion ot n
Champion," an Irish romance recently
brought out by tho Scrlbncrs The Wash
ington Publlo Library Is said to hae cata
logued him 'Tlghe. F. O "; and tho librarian
ot Congress wrote him a Becond tlmo asking
for a fuller explanation The fact of tho
thing Is, "tlghe" (spoiled with a small t)
means "of the house" In Irish, and In the
period of the book (6th century) tho name
would hao been written "o Sullivan tlghe"
In private life. howeer. he Is merely Mr

"Mrs. Wlggs of tho Cabbage Patch," that
apparently lnexhaustlblo literary gold mine,
has Just reached its 50th edition.
Somo years ago Carl Crow, whoso recent
book, "Japan and America," has been called
one of the best presentations of Japanese
alms and achievements written In many
j cars, was a cub reporter on a Texas news
paper, one of his duties being to cover the
police Btation One day Just before press
time he made his usual trip to seo the desk
sergeant. '
"Have a great story for you." said the
bergeant "We arrested a parrot out on
Front Btreet a while ago on a charge of
using abushe language Tho neighbors
complained so much we had to go out and
leck the old bird up"
After getting a few more details, Crow
rushed back to the office and wrote a funny
Btory about the arrest of the bird.
He was congratulating himself on land
ing a story on the first page an hour or so
after the paper got on the streets, when the
telephone bell rang and he had to listen to
a torrent of abuse from an irato lady at
the other end of tho line It developed that
she was Mrs Parrot and she had been ar
rested for using abusive language, but she
umewy moeniea oeing written up as a
bird After she had exhausted her ocabu
lary and was preparing for a new start, she
asked :
"What Is your name?"
"Crow," said the reporter.
"What did you say?"
"I said my name was Crow."
"You think you are damn smart, don't
you? said the freshly Insulted Mrs. Parrot
as she hung up the receiver.
To the traveler of today the pleasure
Is seldom vouchsafed of visiting really new
territory, and much more rare la the Joy
of being one of the first of modern men to
.iu mo oireets or an entire city unrivaled
In location and unknown to history. This
was the experience of Harry A. Franck,
the unconventional young globe trotter, who
,rot.a.'.'A1VBBabon1 Joumey Around the
World, when, during his recent four years'
pedestrian odyssey of South America he vis
ited Machu Picchu, the mysterious white
granite city of the Incas or their predeces
sors, which was for so many centuries un
known to civilized man, lost, as It was. In
the fastnesses of the Peruvian Andes. Few
Americans, Indeed, can have seen these
splendid ruins, the most splendid pre-Co-lumblan
ruins In the Western Hemisphere,
which were preserved from, the ravages of
'""'' "uiusrs oy an impenetrable Jungle
until Prof Hiram Bingham, crediting the
rumora, of the Indian natives, discovered
them In 1911. Mr. Franck will contribute
to the July Century an Illustrated account
of his expedition to tho lost city, the first
of a series of articles on his South Amerl
can experiences in general.
The laudablo clcslro lo learn, bo far ns
nn American could, of the motives nnd
tho morale of tho European peoples now
engaged In vast conflict and to present tho
findings to our own people that they might
bo tho better nblo to Judgo of tho condi
tions In war-torn Europe Is responsible
for nn entertaining otume, "What Is Back
of tho War" (Tho Bobbs-Merrllt Company,
Indianapolis), from tho pen of Sonntor Al
bert J Beerldgo. Somo parts of the work
have already been presented to tho reading
public through tho medium of magazines.
Senator Boverldgo found tho Germans
confident and optimistic of tho outcome of
tho struggle. Tho French exhibited n simi
lar confidence, but not quite so much op
timism Tho British, he found, aro sub
limely confident, but do not seem to realize
the seriousness of tho contest nnd tho dan
ger that threatens their own firesides. Ger
man confidence In their ability to defeat th
coalition that surrounds tho Central Em
pires, Senator Boverldgo found, Is duo prin
cipally to their confidence. In tliolr organiza
tion nnd to tho thorough knowledge ot tho
meaning of tho wnr posseosed by tho Indi
viduals of tho country. Tho French owe
their confldenco to a sublime patriotism
nnd a r.rm belief that England will finally
send them sufficient military i enforcements
to defeat their common foo.
England Is apathetic. Labor troubles
abound, writes the author. Tho lower
classes he excoriates, tho middle classes
seem to lack that flno loo of country with
out which lctory cannot bo achlovcd The
upper classes havo como forth manfully
There Is, ho finds, a feeling of Hecurllv that
' the old lady will como out nil right some
how," but the modus operandi Is not dis
cussed. The volumo possesses a vnluo to Amtrl
enns especially topical In low of the fre
quently cxpreKscd hopo that this country
will play n Inrgo part In tho mediation nnd
in tho final pence.
Frank II Slmonds takes as the tltlo of
his llttlo book about Verdun the answer of
Tr-inco to tho German hordes which at
tacked the fortress "lis no passeront pas'
They shall not pass." (Doubleday, Tngo
& Co ) Tho chapter of this exceedingly
interesting and exciting book deal with the
topography of Verdun, Its Importance
(zero) nnd the earlier stsges of tho attack
Tho author believes In his title, but to tho
pro-Ally tho most reassuring chapter will
bo tho one called "The Door That Leads
Nouhoro" In which the author Indicates
ory clearly that Verdun Is a political battle,
for prestige and honor, not for military nri
antage Since the book was written reve
lations In Paris Justify Mr Slmonds' story
of the generalissimo's Intention of giving
up Verdun Now that the battle has cost
so much It seems Inconceivable that Joffro
should hao been willing not to fight. That
the fight means much to Franco can be
gnthcred from tho glorious description of a
more glorious thing tho Improvisation of a
motor transport when' i all facilities failed
tho army. It means much to the spirit of
France, which Mr Slmonds has admirably
caught The references to stiategy are all
elementary, and It is thero that tho author
seems least grounded. But for reading It
Is an excellent study.
Arthur Ruhl brings the combined talents
of the trained reporter, the skilled editorial
observer and the successful fiction writer to
"Antwerp to Galllpoll" (Charles Scrlbner's
Sons, New York). In consequence he has
written something more important than a
conventional "war book" Ills chapters
baeeOt on personal routing through several
.war fronts "play up" the "high points" of
his "stories" But ho Is more than merely
reportorial, for he analyzes military moves
and makes clear racial and political motives
and prejudices Particularly valuable are
his descriptions of what ho saw and sensed
In the Balkans.
"My Fourteen Months nt the Front" (Lit
tie, Brown & Co , Boston) Is BUbtltled "An
American Boy's Baptism of Tire." It gives
In much detnll tho experiences of William
J. Robinson, a lad who saw varied service,
and he was able to recreate his Impressions,
hardships, experiences and deductions. Ills
story makes no pretense to literary dis
tinction, though It Is clearly written, but is
of -value as a first-hand account of many
Interesting things about the early phases of
the great war.
The American edition of "Hlndenburg's
March Into London" (John C. Winston
Company, Philadelphia) needs, as far ns
Its text Is concerned, no Introduction to the
people of the United States, who have read
of Its circulation in Germany, said to have
reached 4.000,000 copies, and Its further cir
culation in an English translation of more
than 2,000,000 copies In England.
It Is a presentation from the Teutonic
point of -view of the dreamed-of German in
vasion of England and the English capital,
and for this reason, as well as the astound
ing Impudence of the opening chapter. In
which, for example, the Invasion of "bash
ful and virtuous Belgium" Is swept aside in
approving vindicative words, will retain Its
place among the curiosities of literature
pertaining to the wpr,
"Halt! Who Goes There" (G. P. Put
nam's Sons, New Tork), a little book by
the author of "Aunt Sarah, and the War,"
Is full of the newly born spirit of an awak
ened England as evinced by the -present at
titude of the stay-at-homes as well as the
heroism of the men In the trenches, gath
ered together from the four quarters of the
Empire to give their lives, if need be, for
the cause of the allied nations.
Its scene is laid In a London hospital,
and It consists of excerpts from the diary
of a nurse, In which, are typified In poignant
earnest manner something of a personal
drama, aa well as the stolo heroism of
many a wounded soldier, The book
breathes sympathy, kindness and patriotism
upon a lino with the many books published
from varied points of view upon the war.

How can we sell them at these wholesale prices and
place Wanamaker & Brown's guarantee behind them?
We bought them from good manufacturers who wanted
to close their summer season.
Because we purchased by thousands AND PAID SPOT
CASH they accepted a loss.
That loss is your gain. " .
NOTE! The store will be thronged
with buyers all day tomorrow especially in
the afternpon, If at all possible, come and
make your purchase before "twelve o'clock,
noon!
