The New York Times Book Review says editorially:
"Mare Nostrum stands supreme in contemporary
fiction."
MARE NOSTRUM
By VICENTE BLASCO IBANEZ
In a column-long editorial discussion of this book the
New York Times Book Review says: "It is after all as a
novel, a story, a series of subtle portrayals of character,
rather than as a war book, that 'Mare Nostrum stands
supreme in contemporary fiction. ... As a novel
'Mare Nostrum is greater .than 'The Four Horsemen.'
There is a daring originality in the way its plot is
worked out that is unique in contemporary fiction. . . .
It is small wonder, indeed, that a book of the wide
catholicity and the consummate art of 'Mare Nostrum"
should have achieved its present popularity."

Who Won the Coal
Strike ?
Terms received with "unqualified approval" by the coal operators, accepted
with the comment "the fight is won" by the strike-leaders, regarded with gratifi
cation by the Government and hailed by many responsible papers as. a "great
victory for the public," would seem to be all that could reasonably be expected as
a solution of the coal crisis. But through the general jubilation there sounds a note
of doubt and warning.from no less an authority than Dr. Harry A. Garfield, United
States Fuel Administrator, who fears that in the near future this settlement will
mean further inroads upon the pocketbooks of the coal-consuming public.
'The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for this week December
20th has been prepared so as to give the public an all-sided knowledge of just
what the strike settlement contemplates. It quotes facts, opinions and predictions
from all sources, and the article is illustrated with half-tone illustrations and cartoons.
Other articles of almost equal importance and interest in this number of the
''Digest" are:

The "Digest" in the "Movies" Makes Millions of Men and Women Laugh
The reasons that make "TOPICS OF THE DAY,"
selected by the Literary Digest, one of the most popular
subjects on the motion-picture screen are given by a re
viewer In these words: "The subjects are essentially timely.
The paragraphs reach the screen while interest in the
topics is at its highest point. There is no prescribed limit
to their appeal. All humanity is dealt with and all human
ity responds to their screening. Each composition is brief
comprehensive. It is at all times well composed and
carefully selected. It represents substantial thought the
best editorial thought in the world. But, best of all, then
is real wit and humor in every line. Pathe distributes
"Topics of the Day" to more than two thousand motion
picture theatres in the United States and Canada, includ
ing B. F. Keith's, Proctor's and Orpheum circuit vaude
ville theatres. If you desire to see it in your favorite
theatre, send a post-card request to Timely Films, Incot
