RUSSIA is se vast and 'belongs te a
period no remote from our own
that it is impossible for any visitor te
the country te
come out with

titan one phase of
its many sided and
complicated life. It
emerged from the
civilization of the
Middle Ages a
century later than
the rest of Europe,
and It moved mere
slowly than the

ANIMALS STUDY MEN
Mills Says They Are as Inter
ested in Us as We Are in Them
If we may believe Enes A. Mills,
the mountain Hen of -Northwestern
America Is less likely te attack human
beings than Is the common bull of the
n7ai', Mr- MllIs n "Watched by
Wild Animals" (Deublcday, Page &
Ce.) says that he has never known of
an authentic instance of an attack ou
a human being by a mountain lien.
The animal, like nil ether wild animals,
Is intensely curious about man, nnd
will watch him from cover, and even
fellow him for hours te see what he Is
bout. Mr. Mills says that en one oc
casion, while he was following a snow
covered trail ever the mountains, be
discovered en his return by the sam
route uiac a lien naa accompanied mm
a little way in the rear, and that when
he bad stepped te rest the Hen had
stepped also and remained hidden only
a few feet away from him. Neither
will the wolf attack human beings, ac
cording te Mr. Mills. He is wary of
tbe scent of man. Hunters hnvc shot
a deer and left it out nil night and
found It untouched in the mernine be
cause they had rubbed their hands nil
ever the carcass.
The coyote, which Is a 6iuall wolf,
is the practical joker among nulmals.
Twe nights In succession a coyote stele
n chicken from a ranchman near whose
house Mr. Mills was enmping, nnd each
time he ate the fowl near the camp,
leaving the feathcra en the ground. The
evidence was se damning ngainst Mr.
Mills that the ranchman told him he
would better pitch his camp farther
from the hen roost.
Mr. Mills has been observing animals
for j ears, nnd In this book he has put
down his discovery that nnimnls are
also in the habit of observing man and
that they have Btudlcd the ways of man
about as carefully as man has studied
their ways.
WHAT THEY ARE LIKE
Intimate Portraits of a Greup of
Noted Britishers
Heiketh Pearson has treated a group
of British men of lettere nnd men
of the stage with as much uncon uncen uncon
ventlenallty as the anonymous nuther
et "Mirrors of Downing Street" treated
the statesmen. Mr. Pearson Is kin te
an English bishop nnd he was an un
derstudy te Sir Geerge Alexander. In
addition, he has proved that he can
write with as much facility as many
men who make of writing a profession.
In his book, "Modern Men and Mum
mera" (Harcourt, Brace & Ce.) he
has much te say about Geerge Bernard
enaw, Htr Herbert Beerbohm i.ree, nir
Georte Alexander. Frftnk Harris.
Stephen Phillips, Lytten Strachey and
several ether distinguished men. In the
second part of the volume he has in
eluded a group of brief comments en
Wells, Gesse, Mrs. Asqulth, Hall Calne.
Winsten Churchill, Jeseph Cenrad nnd
a let mere.
His essay en Shaw, with which the
volume begins, Is an enthusiastic ap
preciation of the 'man whom he de
scribes as the greatest English drama
tist since Shakespeare and one of the
most brilliant thinkers In all British
history. Of course, be known that Shaw
ls an Irishman, but he docs net think
it necessary te stress that point. The
picture of Phillips deals with the last
period of tbe man, when be was in
financial straits and was indulging In
bis cups. He calls Phillip a miner poet
with moments of inspiration. Tree ap
pears under his pen as a man of erratic
disposition and uncertain tcmncr. con
stantly making an attempt te be witty
and epigrammatic after the manner of
uscar wiidc. Vt Churchill he remarks
that nothing but death can prevent him
from "becoming Prime Minister of the
country for which he has se nobly sac
rificed nil his principles." and that "the
man who can survive the Antwerp and
Galllpell hazards of the late war will
survive everything except national edu
cation." These quotations give a taste
of bis style. The book will delight all
these who like Informed comment about
men and women who have moved con
spicuously en the stnge of life.

ADVENTURES OF A ROMAN UNDER THE EMPIRE
By EDWARD LUCAS WHITE, Auther of "El Supreme"
"This book of life in the second century has the vitality and speed of
the twentieth century. Here is that rare event a book for every
one. Uecently I asked u Junier nt Harvard whether he thought the
book tee long. He replied: 'It was tee short,' and I heartily agreed.
Frem first te last the six hundred pages propel you, until with the
fascination of the story and the swiftness of the action you are
almost breathless. I recommend it without reservation, and lay it
down with the full intention of reading it again."
