Extracts from a Few of Many
Letters of Commendation
"The Mexican Problem is to my
thinking worth its weight in gold
of all recent books the best by
many degrees.
"Since reading Mr. Barron's
book, I am conscious of a larger
sympathy with the people in Mex
ico, and of a conviction that they
are more worthy of saving, of re
demption, tlutn I had supposed.
One cannot help feeling- glad to
know that there is so much more
of real good in them than pre
viously supposed."
"The book conveys to the read
er a knowledge of Mexico and the
needs of its people in a way not
heretofore adopted by any others
attempting to give information on
the subject.
"In fact, the whole book is a
compendium of terse, trenchant
and sententious wisdom on the
Mexican Problem." .

Remembering
"The United States can never
take its proper attitude in co

sister republic until two popular,
yet absolutely false impressions of
Mexico are removed. These popu
lar fallacies are:
"First, that the natural wealth
of Mexico has furnished n base
for contending buEincss interests
from the United States to promote
Mexican quarrels.
"Second, that the land question
is at the bottom of the Mexican
troubles."
.( That is the need of
Mexico today opportunity to la
bor, opportunity for the family,
opportunity for food, clothing, bet
ter shelter, and better social
conditions.
"And this is exactly what Amer
ican and European capital and
organization have brought to
Tampico, attracted by its under
ground wealth, and this is what
will ultimately redeem Mexico and

WHEN TRUE LOVERS

The question of labor and capital, their

but withal unscrupulous, manager furnishes
vivid coloring to a somewhat strenuous
romance.

whoso finances are suddenly dissipated,
finds It necessary to become a money
maker. lie goes to work as an ccrydiiy
laborer In a factory of which Ills wealthy
fiancee. Sylvia JVrclval. Is the owner,
without telling her anything about It. His
puipose Is not so much the earning of his

"from the ground up," in the hope of Im

knowledge to his employer on her return

In his new environment young I.andon

story of the experiences of Captain Gil

line on the Sonime for five weeeks. He
was shot through the head In an assault
on the German trenches und lay for two
days In a shell hole before he was dis
covered by the Germans. The shot had de
stroyed his sight, He was reported dead
and his family went Into mourning. They
learned four weeks later that he was u
prisoner. He was In ' a German prison
camp for three months und was finally re
turned to England. He wrote his book
when he got back hepne. He has described
his experiences, not In the language of tho
man of letters, but us un educated ofllcler
might talk to his acquaintances. His pic
ture of life In the trenches is vldld und

A Novel About a Missing Heir,
Mistaken Identity and
Love
It Is a fur cry from the war-swept Franco
or today to thoiiv pastel ul scenes In the
saino romantic land to which Agnes und

latest novel. The period Is the autumn days
of I8K, following tlio lliutl ecllpso of tho
llri-t Napoleon, when under the Restoration
the people wcro seeking to foiget the blood
shed that maiked tho pathway ot tho cou
ipicror of a continent and the tragic and
epoch-making sequence of the Revolution.
"WolMurc," Is the enigmatic garment In
wlilcji Mr. and Mrs. Castle h.uo wrapped
their new nominee. It owes its piquant not
fo say bizarre title to the Tact that the
nprolue. Adrlenne de ItulTeleu. Is tlio niece
of one of the old noblesse whose ancestors
for generations had held tho l-ost of wolf
master by royal patent.
At the outset of tlio story this rcpre

ferred upon a rival and Inferior family
during the avcendancy of the "t'surpcr."
The aristocratic Count de HufTclcu has not

the reader has gono very far Into the story
ho Is convinced that the old gentleman Is
.. bit "ciackcd" over tlio disappearance of
Ids son and heir In Infancy ; the child hav
ing been spirited away by Ids mother, who
nit of pure perveislty and ma.ligii.iney de
serted her spouse a few jears after mar

ho supposes. Is turned to poignant grief
when the young stranger who visits the old
count at his feudal estate makes known
that he Is an Ihigllshiuaii on nil archco
logical tour tluough thut part of France.
After that dlHlllusioniiieiit Count Huffeleu
doesn't cut much of a llguro In the story,
except when the real heir. In the person of
a young daredevil named Montbars, turns
up, only to have his noble slro reject him
totally as an impostor nnd villain, and
eventually to return to Ids hallucination
that the English stranger is actually his
long-lost son, In which fancy he Is per
mitted to die happy.
Family name, great treasure, treachery
and loiniinre are mingled In the story,
which Is tilled with vivid scenes. Including
a ferilflc encounter with a wicked old wolf,
wherein the life of Montbars Is saved by
the Intrepid iirclieologlM. who, by the way,
Is the narrator of the story In the first per
son. This Is all tho more herol and
chivalrous In the latter becwuse he is hope
lessly In love with Count IlufTcleu's niece,
who in turn Is devoted to the fascinating
.Montb.us, not knowing he hi reality Is the
missing heir. It Is explained by the nar
rator or me personally napless romance-)
that he Is able to tell his tale by looking
at the far-off days of his youth "through
tho big end of a spyglass" that Is, he
spins his arn in the mellow old age of a
bachelor and can gaze backward without
bitterness, If not without pain, for "what
might have been."
The novel Is marked by the graceful

authors, and the period which serves as the
background has decided Interest and charm.

There is one obvious criticism to make

makes his e,uly bow to the reading woild
The author Is writing on hearsay, whereas
he generally treats of u people and a sec
tion and a period which he personally
knows and undei stands The picture of the
Civil War South painted In "The Triumph"
Is unusually careful and accurate, but It
seems, nevertheless, to lack much of the
sincerity of tho earlier works of Mr. Hur
ben, among which "Aimer Daniel" and
"Pole llaker" are best remembered. Other
wise "The Triumph" Is tplcally Harben
and his admliers will llnd llttlo differ, ore.
vvhetjier for good or bad, between his

reputation There Is the same slow, placid,
deliberate style, tho same ordinary, every

emotionalism. It Is easy to see why William

prefaces "The Triumph," so greatly ad

A Klondike Love Affair
Dawson, the city of the Klondike, where
Madge Macbeth's book "Kleath" Is staged,
is one of the famous towns where men
have collected to find their fortunes and
match their strength with the grim stolidity
of nature. Dawson's women were either
Immoral or unmoral as a whole, but Ooldle,
the daughter of Tom Meadows, Is kept
pure. Meadows had married a woman above
htm. and for her sako would not allow
tioldlc to go to the dance balls and enter
Inp) the revels of tho Inhabitants of Daw
sou, (ioldlc herself resented the advances
of the men. but her meeting with Kleath
was the beginning of her trust In mankind.
Her different experiences and those of
Kleath, and their falling In lovo with drtt
another, niiiko the framework of a novel
which holds one's attention throughout.
Tom MeadowB, the 'father, however rough
In manner, shows the strongest affection for
his daughter, and thut she may have a
happy life proves to be his greatest am
bition. KI.IIATII H Mmlso Macbeth. Illustrated liy

We have no more genial caricaturist than
Oliver Herford. Ho has collected thirty
two of his pictures In a volume, where they
are printed with verses to fit. Among the
men who receive tho attentions of his pen
are Howclls, Napoleon, Kipling. Plerpont
Morgan. Christopher Columbus and Itoose
velt. On the page opposite a picture ot
the Colonel us twins he has this to say:
The vmi of l'rovidenre nre odd.
If Theodore ni-sins "The Ulft of Hod,"
Let un aive thanks at any rate.
Tlio Ulft whs not u duplicate.
Then, to take out tho sting, he prints In
a note at the bottom of the page:
Dear Theodore, should It slve you pnln
To read this rhMne, let me explain.
If'we "exchanged" you, where on earth
Could wo find one of equal worth?
The volumo would, make an excellent
Christmas present for a person with a sense
ot humor.

In a masterly and convincing manner, Dr. Cram, whose
work on the superb St. Thomas Church in New York,
Princeton University, and the West Point Military
Academy, has achieved world-wide admiration, develops
his subject not only us an organic scheme of building but
as a definite exponent of the religious, philosophical, so
cial, political, and economic conditions that obtained in
medievalism.
All who think deeply of the present world crisis and of
what is to come after will find illuminating guidance In
Dr. Cram's scholarly and inspiring volume.
