Probnbly no one who rends this book
will evor be able quite to forget Its content
The words "hnnlened -criminal," "convict."
reformatory" nnd "prison" will never have
exactly the name meaning ax they had be
fore. This collection of popular Btudlea of
prions nnd reformatories rosaessoa nil tho
fnBdnatlon of fiction and carries all the
conviction of truth.
Miss Doty's aim Is to convince society
that It Is paying dearly for Its Incredibly
cruel and Inhuman treatment of Its out
casts, particularly the Juvenile offender who
U committed to n reformatory, nnd from
which ctas lio thirds of our ndult con
victs sprlnir. Sho presents her case In a
dlrectv legal fashion, making no statements

dnnt written testimony One can under
stand her dei'p sincerity of purpose after
reading the first chapter. ".Maggie Martin.
933," which describes her life of one week
as a voluntary prisoner In the woman's
prison at Auburn, N. Y. She was unknown
to all her attendants and fellow prisoners,
nnd tho treatment accorded her mnkes It all
too apparent how our present prison system
semis out Its Inmates worso thnn when they
went In Hut. Impossible as It may ba to
make good citizens of thoio now In prison,
all unlto, prisoners nnd reformers alike, In
ine cry ot "Help us to save tho kids!"
Tho author appeals particularly to alt
women, who alone, aho thinks, with their
natural mother love, can so easily chango
this evil condition. Above all, Miss Doty
pleads for the entrance of human lovo and
affection Into the lives of these little out
ensts, since lovo Is the most powerful In
strument for good that Is known. Dut ono
needs to read the book fully to understand
tho bitter need of the little unloved ones.
It Is Interesting to noto that, like most
reformers. Miss Doty points the way to
splendid constructive work, yet falls to
consider tho moro fundamental problem of
eliminating tho causes which Bend the child
to tho reformatory In the first Instance.
Her concern Is limited to tho prevention
of adult crime through the real reform of
the delinquent child.
A Neutral at Last
THE rpssinu: ITJACK. lly notand limine.
The Century Company, New York
Ono of tho ery few consistently neutral
discussions of the European conflict and
Its cauwa which can be found nmong the
great mass of recent war publications Is
contained In 'Tho Possible Peace," by Ro
land Hugms. When In the foreword tho
author states that ho Is an "actual neu
tral" tho reader Is npt to obsorvo that the
same claim has been ndnnced groundlessly
by a hundred other recent writers. Yet an
exhaustive nnalsls of the entiro fifteen
chapter-) In tho book reveals nothing to dis
lodge Mr. Iluglns from his unlquo niche.
Despite the name of his hook Mr. Huglns
admits that ho Is not prepared to offer any
sovereign remedy or any Infallible program
for abolishing wars. Neither does he be
llevo that tho present war because of Its
horrors will bring us nearer to permanent
peace and for this reason ho makes a wnrm
pica for preparedness. Tho three main
proposals for a lasting peace which have
been adanced from tlmo to time are
analyzed by Mr, Iluglns and the fallacies
of each revealed. These proposals he groups
ns follows a world court, where Interna
tional disputes can be arbitrated; an In
ternationa) police forco, carrying out tho
mandates of a League to Knforco Teace; or
a Federal Council v. hero laws can bo made
and the grievances of nations removed by
legislation. Perhaps the most noteworthy
contribution to peace literature In the book
Is a clear presentation of the steep difficul
ties that must be surmounted before any
thing npproachlng a permanent peace- can
bo realized

Tho Decameron und "the war." The old
Is not outmoded so long as tho new adapts
Its formularies. The author of "A Hilltop

debate everything but the taboo topic of
Impending war. That way lies fracture of
friendships To pass the gloomlngly hang

a garden, too, for a further resemblance to
tho Decameron. There Is a variety of
mood and variety of Individual accent In
tho stories, which are amusing, touching,

New York,
A distinct contribution to European his
tory Is Madison Grant's 'Tho Passing of a
Great Ilace." Tho thesis Is essentially a
new and original recasting of history on n
modern scientific basis. It Is a narrative
of European history In terms of race, the
hereditary history of Europe. The perma
nency of physical characters, both In re
lation to the 'melting pot" of America and
to the changes In race preponderance In
Europe resulting from the war Is brilliantly
discussed.

TOM DALY CELEBRATES HEARTH
AND HOME IN HIS NEW POEMS
"Songs of Wedlock," by
Evening Ledger's "Colyum
ist," Strike a New Note
SONOS OF WEDLOCK Ily T. A Daly. David
MfKay Philadelphia
ACCORDINa to a well-worn saw (was It
Xi. not William Arclfer who uttered 117)
"most domestic verse should be used to light
the domcstlo fires." He meant that such
verso had little In It for tho outsider, that
Its main merit was the nppc.it of a pcr
snnnl and prlvnte relationship. That Is. per
haps, true, but the Indictment Is too sweep
ing to exclude successfully nil poetry of the
hearth and tho home To back up this
contention along comes our own Tom Daly,
whoso column In the Kvbnisci LKnaen has
been a deservedly popular feature of this
newspaper, with a new book, "Songs of
Wedlock," published by David McKay,
Philadelphia
You who hac known Tom all along ns n
specialist In Itnllnn nnd Itallannte rhymes,
ns a qulpstcr of topical events, ns nn Irish
man loving Irish things and celebrating
Irish fun nnd tragedy In his own Irish way
you will be surprised at tho tenor of
this new book. As ItH title confesses, It
Is a collection of pieces dealing with mar
ried life, and there Is In It no McAronl bal
lad, no joke, no bit of dialect or humorous
devilment It is ns serious ns poetry can
be, and withal In a thoroughly Dalyl.ni
manner. Trobably ho regards It as his most
nmbitlous attempt Tho volume Is divided
Into two sections, the first a series of twenty
six poems with luisbandhood and wifehood
ns their theme; tho second, called "In Kin
dred Keys." In this latter section the poet
permits himself a slight widening of scope
and purpose, for -ho ranges from songs for
tho months to nn elegy on Ada Ilchan, nnd
from the nrtlflulal exaulsltcncss of the bal
lade form to tho humbly unpretentious
measures of "In Ixckerble Street," me
morial to James Whltcomb Riley.
Despite Mr Archer's saw, tho first part
of tho hook Is characterized by two qualities
pre-eminent; n sort of quiet dignity which
lifts tho "fc'ongs of Wedlock" out of tho
renlm of mero pretty am'atlveness, and a
restraint of style and placidity of expres
sion eminently suited to tho subject.
You will look In vain for nny Impas
sioned expression of emotion. Mr. Daly
realizes that after the domestic tapers havo
replaced the bridal torches, the rhapsodlst
of tho hearth should, must, suit his song
to tho diminution of tho light. Loud chants
are for the ceremonials, tho feasts, and tho
fetes of nuptials, are proper. For the days
after a gentler lute must be touched. That
lute Mr Daly knows how to piny. Ilo
plays It with quiet and moving beauty In
"When Day Begins," with a moro detached
energy In "To n Thrush," with a childish
and vivid gayety In "In Wintry Weather."
where the interplay of thought Is both swift
and Imaginative, with epigrammatic concise
ness In the "Inscription for a Fireplace,"
quoted at the head of this review, with
bounteous feeling for maternal pity nnd lovo
In 'The Mother," and with a rippling ca
dence recalling Tom Moore and fellow bards
In "At tho Threshold."
It Is no reflection on any poet to com
pare him with greater singers that havo gone
before. This bit, for Instance, Is distinctly
like William Morris, especially In "The

utter lack of sympathy made him the leader
of all the loose-lived cats In the neighbor

long, vibrant whiskers, his scars, his yellow
eyes, so Ice-cold, so fire-hot, haughty as the
eye of Sutan, gave him tho deadly air of

edly the most untamed cat nt large In the

Tho abandoned farms which Kate San

A Hotablo Sequel to "The Evidence in the Case"
The thousands of readers who in many" countries
and languages read "The Evidence in the Case" will find
equal interest in James M. Beck's new book, in which
he resumes the discussion of the ethical questions which
have arisen in the World War since its outbreak.
"The War and Humanity" deals especially with the
attitude and policies of the United States in the world
crisis, and emphasizes its imperative duty to abandon it
traditional policy of political isolation and exert its great
influence a3 one of the Master States of the World.
Speaking of "The Evidence in the Case," Lord
Bryce, author of "The American Commonwealth," in hia
speech proposing James M. Beck's health at the great
dinner given in his honor in London on July 5th said:
"For the clearness of its statements and the
cogency of its legal arguments it has not been sur
passed, if indeed it has been equaled, fjy any writer
since the war began."
