AMERICA'S WAR LOGIC
"Why We Wtnt to War" Auemhki
and Explain Reatont o
Entry
Despite the fact that Prof. Christian
duues's "Why We Went fo War"
reached the bookshops for sale, by a
curious Irony of fate, the week when
e stopped war, It la by no means a
useless piece of blstorloo-ltttrary lug
ease, fit only for the discard of the limbo
ot" outmoded things. A good popular ac
count of what occurred before mid
November, 1818, of careful research, of
scholarly handling, of patriotic Inspira
tion and these are the traits of this
work need never go begging for read
ers. We, of course, long ago passed the
stage of need for apology or Justification
for our entry Intoithe war with tlve
preponderating Influence to victory
which our participation threw Into the
scales of the conflict between democracy
and autocracy. But need has existed
and will exist for a concise discussion ot
America's problem, the solution of which
came April 2, 191T.
Doctor Gauss, who Is professor of
modern languages at Princeton t'nl
verslt.v, has supplied sucn an analjsls
nnd explanation Ho elves the logic of
our war participation calmly, accurately
and convincingly. He eoes to sources to
buttress his arguments, and elucidates
h's points out of a well-stored mind
He Is partisan, as might be etpected ;
na ho sivs, he has contravened Burke
and Indicted a nation, or rather the
kultur of a war-mad folk, but ho has
used no merely sentimental, spreadcagle
or Jlngolsh arguments Ills book so
clarifies a difficult situation not dim
cult In lis large Bp'rltual sense, but
difficult In the ramifying ot Us diplo
matic, political and economic externals
that it khould take quickly the status
of, an authoritative handbook of brief
scope on the subject.

A very unusual war experience is nar
rated by n C, Trayes In his "Captive on
a German Ilalder" (Robert M McBrldc

government service In S'am lie and his
wlfp set sail from Colombo for home in
a Japanese mall steamer. Two dis
after It was captured by a German
raider and after five months' wandering
over the seas they were landed at a
Danish port and given their freedom
The monotonv of the life as prisoners on
an overcrowded ship, enlivened at first
only by dally wireless messages which
were printed in German and Kngllsh and
circulated throughout the Rhlp, Is in
describable There was little food,
wretched accommodations, and constant
danger nf attack from nn eiiemvs ves
sel or submarine. Tho ono pleasant
Impression left is that tho Germans
treated their prisoners throughout the
vojnge as kindly as possible under the

Racy Tain of Amazonian Rancher Col
lected by 'Harry Leon
Wilton
Some of the most interesting stories
being written by an American author
are those centering about the unique
figure of Mrs Ljsander John Pcttlnglll,
the robustious and racy proprietor and
manager of the Ariowhead ranch, who.
rolls her own fags out of a muslin ba
nnd thin brown paper; who lnhnlcs deep
ly; who wears a sombrero nnd for nil
wo knowi puttees as well, nnd whose
milk of human kindness has never
curdled in her bosom, however tart her
tongue may be nnd however acidulated
and vlrngolsh her attitude may be
toward dubs, incompetents, boobs an
such-tike poor fish
Headers who remember "Iluggles of
Tied Gap" and "Somewhere In Ited Gap'1
wilt give delighted welcome to the new
collection of stories by Harry Leon
Wilson, which he titles simply "Ma Pet
tlnglll." rtcally that Is enough. The
new tales are Mrn Pcttlnglll at her best
form In structure the stories follow
Mr. Wilson's formula of a few paecp o
Introduction, drawing the narrator out
and then the graphic, -vivid, quaint and
humorously phrased narration of that
master story-teller, who Is celebrated In
the title. Hack of the stories has a
novel theme and many curious and jet
Kvmpathetlc angles of viewpoint. Mrs.
Pcttlnglll's apt phrnses, her homely
similitudes nnd lier choice slang are all
a original as of yore. The stories arc
satirical, and sometimes Ironic, but never
cynical They jibe at foibles, pretenses
nnd fnllades but never at the truth
They are as keen and clean as the air
that sweeps. about the Arrowhead ranch.
All of them are good, wholesome without
moralizing, sweet without sentimentality
and deeply understanding of human na
ture ; nnd ono especially "A Love Btory,"
Is an admirable specimen of bhort story
In structure, characterisation and spirit.

A NOVEL OF
MENTAL STATES
J- D. BcrcsforaTs "God's Counter-
point None the Less Impres
sive on Thai Account
In a day when the purveyors of drama
and novels are chiefly concerned In mak
ing concessions to the fancied Intellectual
vacuity of tho tired business man and
tho fashionably feeble mental processes '
of his ennulcd spouse It Is perhaps '
Wamnlng a novel to say that It Is psy
chological fiction.
That' such a description Is no babM
of dullness Is demonstrated by the
eminently readable pages of J. D. Beres
ford's 'God's Counterpoint." There in
not a dull lino or an uninteresting
aituatlon In It. Because Jt conforms to
the canons of properly constructed and
developed fiction and la a novel nf Ann
spiritual slgnlficancn It linn lnt Vnililm-
m ine vaiuoo or compelling Interest and
eucnraning distinction of plot, char
acterization, style and vital humanity.
Because It does not follow wrocessea of
external excitements of nloltlne nnd
thrilling episodes cllmactlcallv arranged
It does not lack In the sort of constant
and cumulative appeal that gains and
Crips tho reader's attention.
People interest -Mr. BeresWrd, not ad
ventures, Their moods, their habits and
their emotlond furnish the substance lor
Ills narration, und tholr animating
motives, tho conflicts within rfhelr souls,
the clashes between their ideals nnd
their wills furnish the rich essence of
his Interpretation of fallible and falling
yet ever-asplrlng humanity.
Mr. Beresford attacks, not by preach
ment, but by relentless object lesson,
false standards of education, false Ideals
Of conduct. He dlsHPCtn ulth alirirln.il
thoroughness tho training that Ignores or
Biosses over men's lusts and that ac
cepts the double standard for men, and
ho exposes In tho course of his opera
tion on fajse idena of m'oralB tho can
cerous naturo of tho "morality" that tho
world passes by with head aloof or a
shrug of the shoulders There Is no
ostrich head In the Band in his method.
He is forthright Jnvhls daring, uncom
promising In his challenge and merci
lessly pitiful in his dissection and cure.
Philip, his hero, stunted In spiritual
growth, but Willi the divine Impulse
toward good ready to germinate when
his fallow nature turns -fertile, Is
analvzed with keenness and accuracy,
through his idealistic romance with
Kvelyn, a character of rare attributes,
and through hlB unworthy Illicit passion
for Helene, till at last -the chronicle pf
his soul evolution and revolution un
winds to an ending of redemption and

The World's Most
Successful Failure
In all the history of the
world, no man ever had so
wonderful an opportunity for
greatness as the Kaiser. In
all the history of the world,
no man has ever failed more
completely in the realization
of his opportunity.
Impressions of the Kaiser
By David Jayne Hill
Former American Ambassador to Germany
tells, not superficially but wjth the
sincerity or thorough knowledge
and sound conviction, those facts
bound up with the destiny of the
ex-Kaiser of Germany which ex
plain many of he world'3 present
day problems.
During the years when Dr. Hill
represented this country at Ber
lin, he was in almost daily con
tact with either the Kaiser him
self or with his ministers, and he
has, in this bpok, given the world
a real picture of the inner work
ings of the Kaiser's policies, as
revealed through his own words
and actions, his own letters and
official documents.
Read this searching revelation if
you would know the truth. $2.00.

THE SEVEN PURPOSES
By MARGARET CAMERON
Whether or not you believe in a Life After Death
Whether or not vou accent this Messarrc as a Revelation.
from the "Other Side" Whatever you may conclude as
to its source You cannot afford to miss the great Vision, 'A
the new Philosophy of-Life, of Right Human Relation
ships and World Progress set forth in this unique book.
Among the hundreds of letters that have come to Margaret
Cameron from thinking men and women of high standing
and high intelligence and culture the country over is one
from a lifelong student of religions, in which he says in
part:
"I stand amazed at what has come through you lo
a waiting world . . . There is nothing new
about truth, but there IS something new about
this presentation of truth, and I consider this the
greatest contribution to ethics that I have ever
seen. Theoretical religion has been omitted and
the most practical religion presented. Both have
their place, but just now, in this rationalistic age,
the practical will gain the attention of the busy
man wlien the theoretical and sentimental would
leave him cold and uninterested."
It is indeed a Revelation whether divine or not you must decide fol
jourself tliis CALL TO BROTHERHOOD But read it at
once; it must give you uplift and broader world vision.
