It has the magic touch of
"faery" that recalls for a
whole world the dreams of
its youth. Kipling did it
once in a short-story; Bar
rio, in a play and a book,
clashing with materialism
in a girl's soul. And like a
golden thread through the
story runs the hero's plead
ing for that "wonderful
reality" of life
to so many of

JOHN J. PERSHING
AND LEONARD WjOOD
Pre-Campaign Biographies of
Two Presidential Possibil
ities Now Ready
What might be called the pro-campaign
biographies of General Pershing
nnd General Wood have already ap
peared. Joseph Hamblen Kenra wrltn
of General Wood nnd Everett T. Tom-
linson writes of General l'ershlng.
Knch writes n conventional Rort of n
hero Blory, usinR the mntcrlal which
h available to any one and making the
most of it.
Although both Pershing nnd Wood
fought Geronimo under General Miles,
served in Cubn during the Spanish Wnr
nnd later served in the Philippines,
Tomllnson does not once mention Gen
eral Wood and Scars Ignores the ex
istence of such a man as General Per
shing. General Wood's part in the pacifica
tion of Cuba was of much greater
importance titan that of General Per
ching in defeating the Spanish. Per
shing commanded the negro regiment
whieh is s,nid to have saved the Itough
Hidcr regiment, under cnmmnnd of
Wood, from destruction. Hut Wood
wns put in charge of Santiago and
inter was made crnveriinr ceucrnl of the
whole island, while Pershing rcmniuedj
nt the head of his rcciment. In com-J
pnring the two biographies It becomes
evident that in 1000 Leonard Wood was
n much more distinguished man thnn
John ,T. Pcrshiug. His success in Cubn
gave him an international reputation,
while Pcrshiug wns scarcely known
outsldp of the army. In the Philip
pings Pcrshiug never held n more im
portant post than thnt of governor of
a province. Wood went to. the Philip
pine ns commander-in-chief of the
American forces.
After the return to America Wood
became chief of staff of the nrmy, n
position which Pershing never held.
When the war broke out both Pcrshiug
and Wood were in command of de
partments of the army. Wood had been
advocating preparedness for years and
started the Plattsburg training camp
movement. Pershing wns devoting him
self to his routine duties, lloth men
had' been promoted from low rnuk by
President Roosevelt. Wiicn wc de
clared war against Germany, President
Wilson made Pershing commander-in-chief
of the armies to be sent to Kuropc
nnd Wood was kept nt home in n train
ing camp, in bpite of his repeated re
quests to be sent abroad. All these
facts arc set forth in the two books,
beside many more that will interest
those who care to know more nbout the
enreers of the two men.

Opportunity of the Church
A highly intelligent and suggestive
treatment of some of the problems con
fronting the Christian Church nt the
present time will be found in the twenty
papers, mostly by clergymen, rend at
the thirty-fifth church congress held in
New York last spring. Those on the
revision of the dictionary nnd theprajer
hnnk. nnd the functions of the episco
pate in n democracy appeal, of
nnni-se. esncclallv to members of
the Episcopal Church. Hut the
others will undoubtedly prove help
ful nnd stimiilntlnc to every one
whatever his church conuectiou. The
effect of the wnr on religion nnd the
obligation of the Church to support a
league of nations should interest every
ouc- Hut to many the discussion of the
need of an American Labor party will
he the most valuable ljow. Perhaps the
most significant treatment of the sub
ject is that of H. Preston Clark, on
nccount of his lnrgc experience ah an
pmnlover nnd his intimate contact with
many leaders, both of industry nnd
labor. Taking this iutn consideration,
his stroug conviction thnt wc do not
need this party is of great significance.
71c says, "Such a party, as I see it,
would emphasize those class lines which
iu industry and in life we-must work
clear of. It would not be trulyt demo
cratic; not in line to produce that
united will which we need aboye all
else."

Elizabeth Robins's "The Mes

Melodrama of Plot
Spies nnd Rpying have furnished the
material for n curiously large propor
tion of the war nou'ls which have been
plentiful since the nrniiKtice,' but in
none Iinve these themes been used to
better advantage than in "The Mes
senger," by Elizabeth Kobins.

that is also fiction, In the bene of a
literary cjrssificntion, is the more im
pressive ascription that belongs to Miss
Kobius's thrilling nnd gripping book.
There arc melodramatic sketches in
the outline of her plot structure, if one
insists on so classifying sensational nnd
hazardous incidents. Hut there arc
also the tension of compacted (cncs,
co-ordinated with what goes before nnd
after, and understanding nnd projec
tion of character as integral part of the
action. Situations control the writer
in melodrama ; Miss Kobins control the
situations in her dramatic fiction. Melo
drama, even in fiction, concerns

j cars lie hns been the compiler nud edi
tor of "The Canadian Annual Review."
Of him Premier Hordcn says: "No
Canadian writer could be better fitted
to record the wonderful war achieve
ments of Canada, home and abroad. "
Doctor Hopkins amply lives up to
this qualification. lie glowingly de .
scribes the energy and gallantry of the '
C. Vi. V. in Flanders and elsewhere nt
the front and pens also the annuls, less
spectacular, but as vital, of the pntri
otic achievements on the home lines.

Pichs Flaws in League
David Jaync Hill, publicist aud diplo
mat, in ''I'reseut l'roblcms in Foreign
Policy." discusses the relative merits
of a league of nations, an alliance and
an entente. Ostensibly this book is au
impartial presentation of the i .trying
values of the three different formulas
suggested for unifying the political uul
verse and making for world peace.
Actually its trend is constantly toward
adverse criticism of the covenant of
the league of nations writteu into the
Versailles treaty and to criticism of tho
WiUonian policies nnd oratory. The
keynote of the book is set by n sentence
from a passage from 'Washington; "Jt
is our true policy to steer clear of per
manent alliances with any portion of
th"ft foreign world." ,

Clqth, 1 2mo.-$ 1 .SOIllustrated
"The Re-Creation of Brian Kent" is as sweet and
clean and wholesome as the out-of-doors, of God's
unspoiled world of the Ozark hills. The story carries
a message to give comfort and hope and courage
and confidence. There are thrilling incidents related
with such vivid realism that one reads with breathless
interest. And yet the fascinating power of the story
is rather in the skillful visualization of the clash and
conflicts of life's invisible forces out of which the
thrilling incidents come.
