Jsew Tork,
Mr. Maurice has laid under great obliga
tion nil those who can claim even a bowing
acquaintance with the American novel. The
present volume, which recently appeared
serially In The Dookman, reflects all kinds
of credit on Its Industrious author, both
for the facts that he has gathered and for
the charming style In which he has couched
those facts Starting with what he calls
the "Canjons of the Money Grubbers"
that Is, downtown New York Mr. Maurlco
explores the city from end to end, and
from side to Bide, telling how such-and-such
an author emplojed this street In
one of his novels and how such-and-such
a house Is the original of the one Intro
duced In so and no's book. And the list
of authors seems very nearly complete. All
of It Is told In a fash'lon that never bores
and with the aid of a great many delight
ful photographs and sketches. As Mr. Mau
rice admits himself, the name of O. Henry
appears most frequently In the book, but
that Is not surprising when one considers
that that writer la known to have explored
nearly every quarter of the city for local

IN DOBRUDJA; FIGHTING
BITTER IN TRANSYLVANIA
nUCHAHUST. Nov 4
Following the Itumanlans' successful re
sistance on their northwestern frontier, the
Germans yesterday attacked on the whole
Dobrudla line after several davs' lull In
Mackensen's operations.
On the right wing, resting on the Danube,
the Itumanlans repulsed all attacks The
Ilumanlan left wing first drove back the
enemy, but later was copipelled to jleld
ground slightly.
The renewal of the attack In Dohrudn,
however, la believed here to be only a
feint to conceal the shifting of Merman
troops to the Transj Ivanlan front. It Is
estimated that tho Germans must send live
fresh divisions into Transylvania to fill
gaps mado In their lines in their Inst
offensive and to add enough strength to
enable Falkenhayn to make further prog
ress. The Germans have lost heavily In the
recent fighting around Vulkan I'nsa and
south of lied Tower Pass.
