' BEM.IN, Sept. 30. Overshadowlntr . everything else In the public mind, even J the Somme battle, the possibility of a re sumption of ruthless U-boat wnrfaro con ' tlnues the topic of tho day. Two questions are the main subjects of discussions: iif "wnar. win American .iniDassauor uer- ard tell .'resident wiisonT" "Did the Chancellor's Reichstag speech fiaean that ho hns been converted to plan iter a full-fledged submarine campaign?" E Tha censorship lid that has so long been fllMlntaJned over all questions pertaining pte the relation', between Germany and the, 'United States has been lifted oer night Jiad German agitators of every political I shads today are venting the bitterest 'criticism of tho American attitude, on the ..British blockade. All these factors combined.

JUMSM, BMW turiM it. a Duckott, J41 IvomUard at.. y'C, It Is a vlHd picture of the Canadian Northwest with a new sort of coloring, that Sir Gilbert Parker draws In his latest story. Tho World for Sale" (Harper & Bros . New York). The noet had Its first Introduc tion as a magatlne serial, but now takes Its place among this popular author's writ ings In the form of an appropriately Illus trated volume. In Its pnges are shown familiar types of the Interesting figures who have transformed large areas of a domain that long since rejected the poetic appellation of "Our Lady of tho Snows" into a land of human feeling and the noma of a people vibrant with the qualities adapted to -tig" enterprises. Dominant among the several vital person nges of the story Is a "master of men," who In a sense recalls Sir Gilbert's "Money Master," but with the difference that this Ingolby, who may be described as a "bene olent despot" In the matter of business, with no merely personal aggrandizement ns Its object, i not handicapped by the anlty of his philosophical prototype, but cngnges In his great enterprises with a view to the upbuilding of a community barely emerged, from lawlesi frontier ex istence. Max Ingolby' character is namir ably delineated by the skillful craftsman of "The World for Sale," who rescues him from tho monopolistic pitfall Into which he la surely trending through the pervashe In fluence 6f the heroine, a gypsy girl. This charming, courageous and Intensely human Creature, Imbued with Just a trace of the superstltl6n of her ancient race. Is tho daughter of the "Ry of Itys," the Romany title for the king of a vagabond people. Parental love alone has caused this sturdy old sovereign to exile himself In a Canadian community, without diminishing bin powei oer his roMng subjects. Here ho dwells a respected If somewhat mysterious citizen, whoso actions make It clear that he sanc tions his daughter's desertion of her Rom any race and who proves himself a man of ndinlrabte parts, for all his barbaric origin and connections. There M nothing especially deep nbout Phyllis Uottome's novel, 'The Dark Tower" (the Century Company, New York). Tho story Is quite light In many ways, but It is well written nnd Interesting. The scene Is set In rural England In the midst of the violent, turbulent and tem pestuous Staines family, all tho membors of which evidently are as violent, pasilon- ata and strong-blooded as their ancestors. It then shifts to snow-capped Switzerland and ends with rather startling cUmaxion the battlefield "somewhere" In France. Some of the characters decidedly are In teresting. Old Sir Peter Staines, retired English Admiral, has the gout, a lolent temper nnd a flow of profanity more violent still. His wife Is an adequate mate, while one daughter has eloped with a prize fighting groom and another has captured and cowed a curate. But the story centers chiefly about Winn Staines, a true "chip of the old block," and the "pretty pnk and white mendacious cat" he married too early. The blood nnd thunder of diplomacy fairly describes John Reed Scott's "Cab of the Sleeping Horse" (O. P. Putnam's Sons. New York). For those who would hae neither Nick Carft nor Oppcnhelrn, Mr. Scott's clever admlxturo of both will be pleasing. To It Is added a bold touch of Sherlock Holmes also. While there Is somewhat of tho thug In his latest novel, there Is none the less much of tho finesse and cleverness of kid-gloved diplomacy. Two stunningly beautiful women, one the "lure" and the other an Innocent player, contribute essential spice. A feature Is the brilliancy of lines In the parrying of the contending characters., Cyrus Townsend Brady In "The More Ex cellent Way" (Q. P. Putnam's Sons, New York) has chosen to deal with a far more complex problem than tho building of the Immense bridge which formed the setting for "Tho Web of Steel." Indeed, his latest book touches upon an old but Intricate sub ject that of divorce In modern society. Tho scene Is laid In Sorrento, Italy, but shifts rapidly to New York, Bermuda and Reno. The story centers chiefly about Chrlssey de Selden, for whom two men fight a duel almost in me opening-cnapier. The opening paragraph even speaks well for the dymatlo development of thoso which follow: "In horror she stared at the prostrate man's face, white from unconsciousness, and whiter still from the moonlight. Shame, bitter resentment against outraged modesty and shattered hope, filled her heart." It you are tona oi tno novels oi .uocior Brady, don't miss this one. .j l .i... ifonn.p nf Xfon t' hv TTrnnrlft v ,t fph..t.a R.rlhnr'n RnnR.

WW quick-moving novel with some characters that stand out prominently and some scenes that are presented with exquisite art llut It Is not a 'Teter" or a "Kennedy Squire" Its characters are not those of Hopklnson Smith. Ono of tho finest chapters In tho book tho Adirondack setting Is very evidently entirely tho work of tho younger man, nnd, good as It Is, It does not fit In well with the accompanying story. However, no one who taken any Interest In tho best of modern Action should miss "Enoch Crane" collaboration notwithstanding. Tho charm of Will N. Harben's works Is welt maintained In "Second Cholco" (Harper & llros , New Tork), his last novel. AVhllo perhaps not tho equal of "Abner Daniel" or "Io!e Baker," It has many of tho attractive elements that thoso two and others possessed. William Dean Howells says of Harben that "his pcoplo talk as If they had not been In books be fore." Ccitnlnly that Is an apt description. There Is very seldom any traco of "book lshness" In "Second Choice." It Is a plain, rather prosaic portraiture of present-day Georgian life, told In a stylo that is beauti ful In Its simplicity and which leans far on tho side of realism. The main fault to bo found with tho book as a whole Is tho absence of a big, vital theme. "The Cross of Heart's Desire," by Ocrtrudo Fahlow (DufClcld & Co, New York), Is the old story of trials and tribula tions Buttered before the goal of life Is attained. The story la of a beautiful girl whose Bclf-adoratlon Is about to destroy her, but who saves herself In ministrations to others' needs. "The Banner of the White Horse," a tale of tho Saxon conquest of Britain, by Clarence Marsh Case (Charles Scrlbner's Sons, New York), with Aella, the son of Horsa, as the hero, has plenty of thrills for the boy reader. Here wo see the Saxon ships of Henglst and Horsa bearing the expeditionary army through tho stormy North Sea; tho battles against the IMcts nnd Scots, then against the Britons, and tho first softening Influences of Christi anity. A new edition of George Moore's "Mus lin" (Brentano, New York) would not be half so Interesting were It not for the somewhat Shavian pref-ce. Of course, there Is none of Shaw's brilliant satire nnd wit, but there 1p a good deal of amusing thought that wo would never find in the tedious novel Itself. In his unimpeachable style Mr. Moore moves through some 300 pages of plot, which savors of modernity, but which. In Its weight and ponderousness, could never satisfy the restless haste of present-day readers. "Told by the Sandman" (Harper & Bros , New York), by Abble Phillips Walker, Is a collection of bedtime stories, stories of fairies, trees and many other things that children love to hear about. The stories are Just long enough to hold the attention of small listeners. "The Unofficial Prefect" (Lothrop, le & Shepard Company, Boston), by A. T. Dudley, Is the latest addition to the "Sto ries of the Triangular League." This Is a tale of a young student of exceptional abil ity, who for a time Is so hampered by his own selfishness that he Is refused a place on the first eleven and falls to obtain a seat In tho student government. However, he meets hla disappointment manfully and turns over a new leaf. Not only does this give a great victory to his school, but It brings out the real boy In him. Decidedly, Simon N. Tatten's little Look, "Culturo and War" (U, W. Hucbch, New York), Is worth more than a caRUal read ing. It Is a philosophical treatment of great world truths written for the man of deeper understanding. It la an attempt, In the first place, to Interpret that "clash of Ideals" among nations which, according to the author, Is responsible for tho pres ent world conflict. Tho opposition of Germany's new cul tural philosophy, a vital, growing, dynamic thing, to the static philosophy of the Anglo Snxon, or. In brief, the social Ideal as op posed to the personal. Is given ns tho chief cause of our nattonnl antagonisms. Wo must try to understand tho significance of Ocrman culture, continues the author, be. cause It Is bound to becomo our own, since tho same forces that created It In Ger many nro present here. But the German belittles' his own phllosr ophy by npplylng It only to national prob lems, making n great thing (small. Worst of all, ho uses conflict, or war, as the means to attain his end. It Is for us to crcato from German culturo a "super-culture," rec ognizing that the philosophy of conflict, common to Teuton nnd Saxon, Is the chief deterring force to tho triumph of tho mag nificent philosophy of culturo. After stating the problem, Mr. Patten explains tho possibilities of separating cul ture from war In a way which would necessarily end In tho elimination of war. Ills conclusions are most stimulating nnd convincing. Wo feel a new world-Ideal tak ing form and becoming alive and attainable. When thero was talk of nominating Mr. Hughes for tho presidency In 1908, a volume of his nddrcsscs was published by G. V. Putnam's Sons, New York, with an In troduction by Trosldent Schurmnn, of Cor nell University. A new edition of tho nddrcsscs has been prepared with. a supple mentary Introduction, which, combined with the first, constitutes an excellent campaign biography of Mr. Hughes. Tho new volume contntns also tho famous Youngstown speech In which tho keynote of the 1908 campaign for Taft was Bounded, ns well ns Mr. Hughes's telegram accepting tho presi dential nomination nnd his Carneglo Halt address .of acceptance. His speech before the New' York Stnte Bar Association last January Is also given. This Is of particular Interest nt tho pres ent time, because In It ho discussed tho ex tension of tho power of Congress over In terstate commerco from tho point of a view of n Justlco of tho Supreme Court. Tho addresses reveal tho mind of tho man nnd his attitude toward all tho vital public questions, but they deserve attention not primarily becausa Mr. Hughes Is a can didate for ofllcc. but because they nro worthy contributions to tho literature of Amorlcan social, economlo and political problems. When a soldier comes back from tho front and tells us of something besides glory and courage and misery In tho trenches, we have much to be grateful for. In this day of scarcity of paper a few real truths of the European struggle, such as Patrick MacGUl's "Red Horizon" (Doran, N. Y.), would suffice for all the useless romance and glamour which wo usually get from the battlefield. There Is more behind the war than eentl-. mental patriotism. There Is even some thing besides tragedy and death. There Is a reality, and overjdayness which most participants Ignore as uninteresting. Yet when Mr. MacGlll tells of that Bide ho fires sensitive minds with sedition rather than patriotism. It may bo a minor matter, as far as hidden diplomatic actions are con cerned, whether a lot of robust men and beardless boys spend hours, days and months In filthy trenches, eating fpod fit for the pigs, or depending on their miser able wages to give them something better, whether they sleep In haylofts with rats as bedfellows, or whether they fall Into lust and plunder when relaxing from their murderous occupation, But to the persons who know the values of life and who realise the little details In the exist ence of young and old from day to day these pictures of wretchedness and misery carry conviction with them and make firm the determination to suppress such periodic crimes of humanity. Unconsciously, Mr. MacGlll has contrib uted to pacifist propaganda, and he has done It w th the unusual simplicity and strength which "The Bat Pit" nnd "The Children of the Dead Rnd" displayed. There Is nothing In tho situations to arouse our love for the dramatic; there Is no unusual depth of character to the participants ; but there Is always a reality to people and events which brings the bloody fields of Kurope nearer to our qu'et homes than many another book has done. Pew things are moro satisfying than to sit In the midst of comfortable surroundings nnd read of some one' else's hardships amid tropical heat, storm and human menace. Those who enjoy difficulties vicar iously, In addition to those who love a story of adventures along the open road, will find a pleasant couple of hours In "Tramping Through Mexico, Guatemala nnd Honduras" (Century Company, New York), by Henry Franck, who has two other noteworthy books of adventurous vag abondago to his credit. In this story Franck starts at the Texas border and pushes the reader straight down through a large area of I.atln America. He de scribes nlmost everything that he saw and did, nnd but little less of what he ate. Graphlo pictures of peon life In Mexico abound, and there Is much real Information about tho general misery of life In Hon duras. Llfo In Iitln America may be col orful, but Franck does not make It appear attractive. rractlcally everything -which a United States citizen may care to know about army discipline, conduct and regulations can- be found In "The Soldier's Catechism" (Doubleday, Page & Co, New York). It Is a compilation In question nnd answer style of Infantry drill regulations, signal ing, rules of warfare, army regulations, discipline, history of the United States, first-aid manual, camp sanitation and per sonal nygiene and related subjects, gath ered by Major F. & Bolles and Captains II C. Jones and J. SJJpham, of the United States Army. Major General Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff, has written an Intro duction. The catechism, which has been Indorsed by tho Army War College, Is an excellent reference work for those studying mo unucu mates Army. "Physical Training for Boys" (Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Company, Boston) Is a simple hnndbook of the principles of phy sical training for the Individual boy, whether ho trains privately or In company with other boys. M. N. Bunker, the au thor, gives a number of useful exercises to build up the body. The book also contains nn Interesting and pointed discussion of health principles. Elegant In formation as well as patriotic In Inspiration Is one of the handsome gift books of tho early season, "Mount Vernon: Cap'ri Gid By Elizabeth Lincoln Gould As a "type" Cap'n aid Is part and parcel of quaint New England, But tho Cap'n refuses to conform to "type" In many ways and that makes blm enjoyable.
