The book might be called a study of the Kngllsh divorce laws and much could be found In it to Justify this description. Ronmcs Forsyte, the mem ber of Mr. Galsworthy's famous fumlty who appeared in "A Man of Fortune," Is the hero of this book. It will be re called by the readers of "A Man. of Fortune" and "Indian Summer of a Forsyte," that the wife of Snomes had 'eft him after the architect of his house, with whom she wiih in love, hnil been killed In an automobile accident. This was twelve years before "In Chancery" opens. Soames has begun to want an heir to his property and he has fallen In love with tho daughter of a French restaurunt-keeper, who occupies one of the family houses In Holio. Hi had not divorced his wife when he could have done so and now years later when the collection of evidence Is Impossible he finds It difficult. His Rister, married to a dissolute man, and finally deserted by him for a stage iianeer, seeks to divorce her husband. She sues for restoration of her martial rights, confident that the man will refuse to return to her. Hut he does return uud offprs himse'f to her and thus under the Kngllsh law makes It Impossible for her to get her divorce. Thus far we have tho divorce problem. The Forsyte characteristics come to the rescue of tho deserted wife and she decides to keep the husband who belongs to her just ns nil the Forsytes hnng on to everything they get hold of until they wish to cxehanje It for something they regard as wortli more. Soames finds this force working In hlm when he t-ccks an Interview with his wife to arrange for n divorce. The artist cousin of Soames, the son of old Jolyon Forsyte, of "Indian Summer of a Forsyte," is trusteo of a bequest which his father had left to the deserting wife, and he sees the woman In order to discover her wishes about the divorce. He Is friendly and sympathetic and finds himself attracted by the woman's beauty. He offers to do what ever he can to prevent her husband from forcing her to return to him. In the course of time the two fall in love nnd through this Soames finally Is enabled to get his divorce and to marry tho French girl. Then comes (he tragedy that overwhelms th man who like the British nation insisted oil his rights ns a suzerain. He had wanted n son. HU wife gives hint it daughter snd under such circumstances that she can never bear nny more children. The artist cousin, who has never In all his life tried to force nny one to act against his or her will, already owns the house which Soames has built for himself ; he gets the wife of Soames and she hcurs a son for him to take the ploce of a son bv another wife who had been killed in South Africa.

He culls his important volume "Italy and the World Wnr." The heroic and effective role of Italy has not been expatiate.! upon in any i.ni i,ui,..rtn nulillslied In this country. ' The wibjcct Is ono of which most' America,,, are rather lnt Vrt, Italy piayra a inuoi. .u.,ii..uu , - und deserve the greatest credit in the Eiimmlnir un of victory. The break ol the Qulrinal with the Triple Alliance, delayed till the spring of 11)15, tho dis aster of 1D17 at Caporctto nnd the final magnificent stand on the l'lave, which forced the Austrian commanders to seek a truco with Marshal Dias nojrly a month before Hlndenburg was reduced to uslf urmlstlce terms of Mar shal Focb on November 11, 1018 these represent about all tnc incis uini uuv btuud In American consciousness ot Italy's portlcipatinn. Ambassntlor Page, however, shows that there was much more. His official status and his ready sympathy with Italian cul ture and Ideals have made him pe culiarly well equipped to write this book. Ills first-hand knowledge en ables him to interpret many of the secret or privuto matters which are bound up in the subject. Italy's earlier neutrality Is a subject ou which many persons aro uninformed ; Mr. Page tells the lull story oi it. nu uusuiycb ii" statesmanship from the once frequently made charge ot Intcresteduess. Mr. Pnce.'s book is written in a singularly clear and charming style. Another phase of Italy's war record is contained In "The Story of the American ltcd Cross In Italy." Charles M. llakcwcll. a member of the commis sion, tells how the American Bed Cross made quick nnd effective response to the needs of Ituly in the distress that followed hard on the heels of the Capo rctto disaster. During the Italian cam paigns, when not only the major part of Austria's and Hungary's effectives were launched, but also many trained crak divisions of the German army, tho American lied Cross performed yeo man service. F.utire cities were built for tho accommodation of refugees from the Piave regions and from Vcuetln, while tho enemy advanced toward the heart of Italy. Tho story of this super human work is capitally told. Thcro Is also an abundance of material relating to the establishment of relief centers, canteens, asylums for women and chil dren, largo hospitals for those wounded In the field, and medical centers fur juvenile and civilian relief. F. A. Holt has translated "The Gen eral Staff nnd Its Problems," u big two-volume work by General von Lu dendorff, which Is of unique nature and value. It is not a personal record or history, written after the war, but a collection of officiul documents, which not only cover the actual period of the World War, but go back into the years of preparation us far as 11)01). This collection of secret, confidential, candid nnd portentous communications throws a light that nothing else could upon the most importnnt events of the con flict and upon Germany's final defeat. No personal apology, memoir, attempt of a fallen leader IU reinstatement, but tho unvarnished presentation of world changing history in the makiug, the book bears the subtitle, "The History nf the Itclations Between the High Command and tho (lennun Imperial (Sovernment ns Bevealcd by Official Documents." Among the original and contemporary documents Included ore tho report of the conference between Dethmnnu-IIollweg, Uindenhurg ami I.udendnrff at Pless, when the unrestricted Nubmurinc cam paign was finally decided upon ami the violent letters exchanged between the chancellor, Hlndenburg, Ludendorff nnd the Foreign Office, revealing the inter nal difficulties of Germany lu 11110. The matter of American participation, as the German uuthoritiesjviewed nnd dis ensved It, is gone into thoroughly. The collection contains the program of the German military authorities on such important subjects os the food question, the coal ami truusport question, the production ot nitrogen, mercantile ship building, schemes for helping soldiers nnd coilors during and ufter tho wur, for patriotie instruction to the troops, for the hnmlling of the press and for the suppljlng of information to the public. Moreover, the suggestions nnd directions issued by I.udeudorff show plainly tlmt throughout the latter part of the war he was the real dictator of Ger many. In his preface ho states that when he published his earlier book, "My War Memories," he had already determined to make public "records bearing on the subject. In order to enlighten the world as to the thoughts nnd notions of the supremo command, Its sphere ot labor and dealings with the imperial chan cellor" nnd with the further object of hringlng home "to every German that a pence of understanding was unattain able" and of revenllng "how much was kept secret from the supremu command by the imperial government." & AD, Tli.E WOKI'D WAJt.

She is n strange, exotic young person, .feminist nnd nationalist, with i oncciMUK iuiiii in ncr niavir ucritiAJ tion nnd destiny nnd an abiding faith In ner own intiividuallt.v.. This is a most closely observed study of a feminine temperament set In n story rich in ac tion and personalities. "Knbiety" Is another book by a Polish novelist of brilliance and In digenous reputation, which has seeped through the intclllgenlsu of Kurope und is filtering over the Atlantic. The author is Sofja Hyglcr-Nalkowska, nnd llko Hcymont's book, the story is one of feminine temperament against n background of tbe racial and national consciousness of Poland. The title, literally translated, means "Women." It, too, is penetrating in its searching of psychology of woman kind, its Interpretation of temperament ana us power of projection or situa tions and characterizations. An emi nent critic of Slavic literature. Fcld man. declares of It that "Marie Bash klrtscff's work, styled Europe's discov ery of the feminine soul, becomes child's piny." The heroine Is moody, In a big sense and wny, capricious in a fem ininely charming and intriguing man ner .and ever and always rich in per sonality. The writer is candid to the point of outspokenness Bhe has the "punch" nnd the questing Independence of the Intellectual rebel. She rebels against set forms and against conven tional viewpoints. Her novel is causing much comment In Kurope, nnd if it is widely read on this side doubtless the sensation will be duplicated. Louis Couperus, whose "Small Souls" and other works have won n dis tiuct and rather distinguished following in the Unitd States through the ad mirable translations of Alcxnnder Teix 'era de Mattos, Is the author of "The Inevitable," n novel of cosmopolitan life in Home nnd tbe French Itivlcrn. The heroine is a young Dutch buronebs. n divorcee, who eventually through force of interesting circumstances Is forced to come back to her husband, after her quest for enjoyment of her court-won freedom. The story hns nil the re llnnmont: nf stvle which innkes Couperus so chamilng. nil the Insight Into human motives under stress and strain that mnkes him so sound nnd realistic, let though he is n careful realist, he Is not wanting in romance also. His blending of the two manners of fiction mnkes a novel of genuine artistic merit. The snme writer's "The lour" re veals hlm again as the distinguished styl ist and more of the romanticist. It is a story of ancient Kgypt, relating the trip of n sort of Cook's tourist party throunh the Nile country in the reign of Tiberius. It is nil very delightfully done and Mr. de Mattos has made a chnrmlng translation. Tlin TOtin. ny Iiul Coujx-ruB, Now York: llndd. Mend Sc Cn. THK INKVITAHI.K. Hy Iula Couperus. New York: Dodd.

"VJiJV, v--'S MOKKIS JASTKOW, JR. Who has made n new translation of Job NEW VERSION OF THE BOOK OF JOB Dr. Jastrow, Who Condemns the Old Translations, Of fers One of His Own Dr. Mnrris Jastrow, Jr.. of the TTnl versify of Pennsylvania, hns made n rctranslation of the book of Job from the most accurate texts atallublc, which is likely to be regarded for years to come as the best version extant of the famous piece of literature. Dr. Jas trow is an original scholar of high standing. He has devoted years to the study of the book and of the Vnrlous Hebrew nnd Greek texts of it. And he has applied to his translation nn in formed intelligence with what other n'liohirs nre likely to regard as most ftttlsfaorory results. The translation in the King Jnmcs version of the Bible is condemned by hlm for its many innccuracies. He ad mits that it is an English classic, but denies that it hns merit us n transla tion. He commends the trnnOntion made by the American Bnntist Publica tion Society in 11)1.1 because It has gone farther than others In adopting corrections where the text wns mani festly corrupt. The translation made by the Amerlcnn Jewish Publication Society in 11)1(1 docs not satisfy him. for it is frankly bused on the Mnssoretic text. As a translation of that text it is good, says Dr. .Tastjrow, but he says that It is hopelessly defective, a it deliberately ignores the results of mod ern critical study. His own transla tion is bused on the results of the study of the original texts by the ablest schol ars. Dr. Jastrow disagrees with both Pro fessor Moulton and H. M. Knl'on. who have asserted that Job is a drama. Mr. Kallen hns written a book intended to prove that Job is a Greek drama written under the influence of Greek culture. He has made a version of it arranged in Greek dramatic form that he inists jus tifies his conclusion. Dr. Jastrow, how ever, Insists that the book Is n sympo sium nnd not n drama. The history of Its production precludes the acceptance of the drama theory. Nearly 200 pages of Dr. Jastrow's book aro devoted to nn examination Into the history of the grent literary master piece. Then about nn equal number of pages is devoted to the translation with copious explanatory notes. It should be in the library of every lover of literature. THK HOOK Ol" Jon.
