Co., New York), fresh, with a rare timeliness, may bo read through In nn hour, hut their remem brance Is likely to last much longer say, n lifetime, at least with some ot Us. Vot theso 87 verses como to renders fragrant, not of the lamp, but of swords nnd blood, of ago-long yearnings mid battle, however brief; of rebellion, of Drlson, of death. They ore the worlt of Thomas MacDonogh, I'. II. Pearse (Pad r Ino MooI'laral) and Joseph Mary riunltctl, signatories of Ireland's May Dny declaration of Indepemlcnco (at ready pathetic In Its seeming remoteness), and ot Sir Itoger Casement, who was yes torday convicted of high trenson nnd sen tenced to death. ThO rost are dead, Offi cially dead ; tha bullets were Urltlsh. Howover, there Is not a breath of Drlttah sentiment In tho poems themselves; thoy nro more Irish than Yento nnd Hyde and Man gan ever were, nnd they palo In their fierce unity even the passlonnto native fnlth of so Celtic a poet ns Lionel Johnson, whoso "Ways of War" Is used as prologue to tho book. Tho foreword might well hnvo been, Instead, "They went forth to battle, but they nlways fell," for If over tho talo of Ireland's ageless failure was written it Is written In these little pieces, which bear the nntlonnl Imprint of scorn and rang In each line. Technically, they nro what ono expects In this sort of writing now drenmy In out line, now strongly palpnblo In their endeavor to record an emotion nlways with tho senso of Incompleteness upon them, even as tho lives and dreams of their creators woro In complete. To those Americana who thrilled to tho drums of Stephens Qreen, oversea. It Is enough to say that of the four poets Mac Donngh and Plunkott nro thi) most defi nitely poetlo; Fearse the most Irish, nnd Casement tho most classic. N'0110 of them Is Mlltonle and none maudlin. For Bhcer beauty of Imauerv nnd bedlzenment ot vsound, Plunkott's "Whlto Dovo of tho Wild, Dark Eyes" is supremo among Its fellows: tho bald melodrama of hatred In tho next sonnet, celebrating Britain's fall, sounds tragically silly beside It. But tho poems cannot bo Judged by the workaday meas ure; they are Inextricably blended with tho history of the men who wrote them. This history Is gently und sanely set forth In a preface by Tadrnlc Colum. That those men were students and sol diers Is n thing to pralso: but that they added to that tho craf t of the lylc is won d or fill, nnd tho noto of lyric detestation has rung with no such clanging vigor since Swinburne's "Go Down to Hell." So, whother tho reader reads for the curiosity ot old forms, as In Casement's "Hamllcar Barca," or for mystic comfort In Plunk ott's "When All tho Stars," or for epigram matic sheen, as In MacDonnEh's quaint quatrain, nr for homely common Benso, ns In Ills tare ot tno wcuucu tinner, ne rausi feel, with each word, tho stir of tho heart which Is paBslonato. and which. Mr. Yeats says, "must be sad." For ovor It all is the smoke of old wars and tho call or them "who took up spears and died for a name." A sweeping Indictment of pro-Cerman propaganda In tho United States In general, nnd of the activities that have bcon hero displayed In the interests of tho German Empire by' the National Gorman Alliance In particular. Is tho sum and sub3tanco of Qustavus Ohllngor's little book, "Their True Faith nnd Alleglanco" (Macmlllan Company, New York). Without waste of words, and In a se quential array of facts, dates and figures, Mr. Ohllnsrer scores the pro-German activi ties that have "boon touched upon" In tho nubile nrlnts of this country for the past 18 mohths. He makes claim, and supports. It In many instances by proot provcu, mat the National German Alliance, of which C. J. Hexamcr Is president, stands for a policy as exemplified In German kulturpollttc "our bwn prestlgo depends upon the prestige of tho Fatherland, and for that reason we cannot allow any disparagement of Ger many to go unpunished." Mr. Ohllnger blames the Prussian, "whose level Is to sink Lusttanlas," nnd not he south German as typified by such men as Carl Schun. men who lovo their ndopted country as they lovo music, poetry and Idealism, for the "misguided energies" that have been dis played In the Interests of Germany In this country slnco tha outbreak of tho European war. There Is a passionately patriotic foreword to tho book by Owen Wleter, who says It should be read two or three times by every American who believes In "Union, In Lin coln and In liberty."

Doran Company, New York) are. taken as a whole, the finest col lection of short stories that has appeared In America for several years, lrvln S. Cobb has written tho stories In his moro serious mood, and, ns In tho case of "The Moiled Buzzard, " there can be nothing but praise for his efforts. In the present vol ume tho render Is again Introduced to Judge Priest nnd before wo finish h la llkoly to put that delightful old gentleman Into n very high nlcho among his favorlto charac ters In fiction. Thero ennnot be loo much of "Old Judge Priest." The popularity of tlio "historical ro manco" hns, for sovernl years, bcon notice ably on tho wane, after Its long period of prosperity. Not only has the quantity fall on olT, hut also ahd most evldontly the quality has suffered. Porhnps, after all. this was tho reason for the waning Of popular lntero.it In this character of story. If all theso romances had boon as enter taining and enjoynblo ns "Tho Bright Eyes of Danger" (J. B. Llpplncott Company, Philadelphia), tho modern school of un healthy realism might never have gained the strength It holds today. John Foster, author of this new Btory, deserves all kinds of credit for his wholly delightful pleco ot work. It Is a tale of tho "Voting Pretender" and his Ill fated attempt to como back Into his own. Tho hero Is a King George's man, and tho heroine belongs to a Scottish Clan Willing to go to nhy ektrema la nld the young Stuart prince. The result may be Inferred, but not the all-around Interest of the tale, Kven when fr. Foster patterns rather olouely After Btevenson, ho does not show to poof- Advantage. More could not bo snld. The young followers of the school of realism seem endless In number. New authors of this school are being Introduced every tlayi some Attain exoellende, many do not. Mites Lewis, author Of "Chnpei" (Oeorga H. Doran Company, New York), may he said to have achieved some meAs Ure ot success. For Its kind, tho story is A rcmnrknbly well written one and pre sents a most Interesting character ntudy In ltn hero nnd several additional personages, who will hold tho attention. It Is men tioned as "Tho Story of A Welsh Family" and It fully lives up to thb Impression to be gathered from that statement. Some ot tho sordid, commonplAco details could welt bo omitted, but they nro all a part ot the school to which the book belongs. A new writer as far as long.work Is con certlod Is Introduced In "When I'nil Pipes" (Oeorgo II. Doran Company, N. Y.) This writer, Mary Taylor Thornton, has n pleas ant, graceful and easy style, but In tho pres ent volume she has given the rending world nothing remarkable. H Rccms to be a weird combination of romantic novel, ffllry tale and Story of tho English school of renlism of the present dny. These elements Are rather hard to nnHoclftto, It is ono ot that endless chnln of novels which revert back to the Victorian era and attempt to give the life-story ot the herd, hoping thereby to be considered masterpieces of chnracter de lineation. It the writer of the prcsont story Intended that, sho has unfortunately over shot her mark. Francis Ilolt-Wheeler has written a book, "Tho Monster Hunters" (I,othrop, I.co & Hhepnrd, Boston), which Is prlmnrlly In tended for young pcopje, but It will enter tain old people and those who aro neither young nor old.
