The Reckoning
A Discussion of the Moral Aspects of the Peace
Problem and of Retributive Justice as
an Indispensable Element
By JAMES M. BECK
Late Assistant Attorney-General of the U. S.
Author of "The Evidence in the Case," "The War and Humanity," etc.
The distinguished author makes a forcible plea for retributive
justice, and argues that the Prussian Empire of Bismarck should be
destroyed by the elimination of Prussia. He discusses in detail the
fourteen terms of peace proposed in January last by President Wilson
(terms which have since, in part at least, been modified), and in a
careful analysis, he presqnts certain difficulties in the way of the
scheme for the proposed League of Nations.

More About Lucile
"I.uclle on the Hoiphts" Is tho latest
addition mado by Elizabeth M. Dur
flold to her very popular series of
"I.ucllo" books. Lucllo Is ono of the
most successful of the many successors
of Elsie Dlnsmore, of Martha Flnley and
the Kathto wlifi was the heroine of a
long line of girls' stories by C-;an
Coolldge. This Lucile book has tho very
modern touch, as It concerns the ad
ventures, of the mountain summering of
a C'ampflro Girls' unit of whom the
wholesome and wltchlns Lucllo Is the
central figure. The adventures are very
real and ery thrilling, too, though they
have none of the hectic sensationalism
that crops out In somo girls' stories and
of course are free from silly "romantics."
There Is a mad musician nnd a stolen
boy and a gypsy camp. Need more be
said to Indicate that this Is a live and
lively story? We do not often hear o'
red-blooded books for girls, but the
modern girl l red-blooded and likes such
books. She will certainly like Miss Duf
