By Winston Churchill. 462 pages. Price, $1.60. The Macmillan Com- pany, Toronto, publishers. As a critic of life and society as he finds them in his own United States, Winston Churchill has developed amazingly during the past few years Always a painstaking and careful nov- elist, he has now brought his genius to bear upon the grim realities of modern social and industrial life. His trenchant pen lays bare to public gaze the sordidnegs of the industrial worker's life, the despairful longing for a fuller measure of freedom and a fuller share in the good things this world affords, the masterful attitude of the capitalist and employer, and lastly, but not least important, the manifold temptations and consequent remorse that pursue the attractive but dependent working girl who finds herself an unwilling victim of present day social and economic conditions. | This, in a word, is the framework upon which Churchill has eonstructed his latest book, "The Dwelling Place of Light." In it he reveals all the longings, the dissatisfaction and the a soul "cribbed, cabined | and confined," one which, putting be- | { hind her traditions and training of a highly respected and Puritanical New "ngland family, yields to the.temp- tation of 'one who holds before her fa-cinated gaze the picture of comfort and ease and, as she afterwards dis- covers, illicit love. America, dy- namic. changing, with new loves and old desires, new industries and old social rights," new people and old-- this is the environment in which Mr Churchill places the heroine of his new book. Janet, strong-character- ed, fine, impuisive, yet thoughtful, understands herself in part, but her environment not at all. Her father is the 'old, last, sad remnant of the Pilgrim force that settled and steril- ized New England. She is the new and old combined. The reader fol- lows her from her narrow wg home to the factory office; nt that volcanic social eruption called an industrial strike; to the country village quiet of Silliston, where later she finds comfort and joy. While Churchill is masterly in his skill in handling the tale of a betrayed love, he has dodged the issue ingdi- cated by himself. His heroine makes her escape, but she leaves behind her the problem still unsettled. There still remain the poverty-stricken tene- ments of the industrial workers, the sordid surroundings, the menace of the foreign-born, and all the dangers that result from these conditions: Mr. Churchill offers no solution to this _ problem, one of the greatest América has to face. AMERICA AT WAR. By Prof. W. F. Osborne. 196 pages. Price, $1.25. The Musson Book Co., Toronto, publishers. In April last Prof. Osborne, of the University of Manitoba, went to Washington as the special correspon: dent of the Winnipeg Free Press. The articles that he wrote for that paper about our cousins across the line, have now been gathered together in book form, They comprise a very whole-hearted tribute to the part that the United States is playing in the great struggle in Europe. He tra- velled extensively about the repub- lie, 'and records his impressions of men and movements in a scholarly manner. Ideality he found to be the outstanding characteristic of the re- public=her advance into the struggle with fio thought or prospect of ulte- rior advantage, 'one of the most in- | spiring incidents in the history of the world. He dwells upon the ideal- ism that he found among the best men, quoting many expressions of ; opinion he heard in Congress 'and . . * > elsewhere. 229-231-233-235-237 Princess st.

He had ob- served its workings in the [United States, and found it altogether bene- ficial. To quote his conclusions: "As a by-product of the war, great national advantage will accrue to the United States as a result of its par- ticipation. Upon the vast, conglom- erate America that has grown wu since the Civil War, the seal of a uni- fied Americanism will now finally be set. - All classes, conditions and races of America henceforth know that they can live and prosper under American flag only on the condi- tion of an unreserved devotion to the self-determined purposes of the na- tion. For the achievement of this great result the immediate adoption of Selective Conscription will. be largely to thank. I therefore hearti- ¥ applaud the wisdom of that pol- y." : P|--on a high War $--E. O'Nefll We Kept the Sea--E. H. Curry. BEd WHA Beasts--G, M. Me. Story Book of Science--J. H.

It was all put into a creed. Not a word of it was to be altered, not a sentence was to be doubted any more. They made me a teacher of this creed They seemed to explain it to me. And when I came to look into it, when my need came and I turned to my creed, it was old and shrivelled up, it was the patched-up speculations of van- ished Greeks and Egyptions, it was a mummy of ancient disputes, old and dry, that fell to dust as I unwrapped it. And I was dressed up in the dress of old dead times and put be- fore an altar of forgotten sacrifices, and I went through ceremonies as old as the first seedtime; and sudden- ly I knew clearly that God was not there, God was not in my creed, not in my cathedral, not in my ceremo- nies, nowhere in my life. And at the same time I knew, I knew as I had never known before, that certainly there was God Lo. You see, | am but a common sort of man. I have neither lived nor thought in any way greatly. I have gone from one day to the next day without looking very much farther than the end of the day. 1 have gone on as life has hefallen; if no great trouble had come into my life, so I should have lived to the end of my days. But life which began for me easily and safely has become con- stantly more dificult and strange. | could have held my serwices and given my henedictions; I could have believed I believed in what I thought I believed. But now I am lost and astray--crying out for God. --H. G. Wells in "The Sou! of a Bishop." Medical Organization, Each battalion at the front has a headquarters, usually in a dug-out or a sheltered farm house, close to the lines; each brigade, consisting of four infantry battalions, has a head- quarters: farther to the rear; each division, consisting of three infantry brigades, artillery, etc., has a divis- ional headquarters in some town, still further to the rear, out of shell range, each corps, comprising two to four divisions, has its headquarters in a town back of this again; each army, composed of two to four corps, has its headquarters still farther to the rear, and the popular idea of the Tommy is that, since the respective headquarters occupy bigger and big- ger chateaux the farther back they go, away back somewhere in a town all by himself, living in a big castle from which he operates everything is the commander-in-chief of the whole British army. The system is so per- fect that it is difficult to escape from it should an order be meglected or a duty left undone. Col. Geo. G. Nasmith in "On the Fringe of the Great Fight. MARRIAGE too S-- By H. G. Wells, 430 pages. Thomas Nelson & Sons, Ltd., London and T Any book by Mr. Wells is bound to be interesting because he brings to the task of writing high literary attainments. There js in this book a great deal that is penetrating and finely imaginative. He has clothed a time-old subject with the garb of modernity. Marriage means some- thing miore than a ceremony, more than setting up a new home. The married Marjorie of this Wellsonidn story is an ambitious, aspiridg person who places her husband--poor fellow estal, and expects him to live up her expectations. His is a contemplative, retired na- ture, envious of no one, possessing no vaulting ambition and no desire to impress upon the public a recog- nition of his own undoubted talents. He had his work to do and he desired ardently to be about it. Passionate love had worked out its purpose and come to an end.

Our architects are gradually learn- ing that after all is said and done the thing worth while is to make a home that is attractive, in which people will return with delight." So says Louis C, Tiffany, founder of the Tif- fany Studios, in the December issue of ITarper"s Bazaar, Mr. Tiffany, himself, has a very Leautiful estate at Cold Spring Har- bor, New York, and from his descrip- tion of it in this number of Harper's Bazaar you cgn gain quite a little valuable information on how to beau- tify and make attractive your home. * Kicking up the Dust of Ages. How many of us realize what won- drous scenery there is to be found in many scclions of this country--es- pecially if one is willing to desert the usual by-ways and seek out the devious paths, leading to something really worth while. The Navajo In- dian country in the great Southwest offers a splendid opportunity to the automobile tourist; a trip that will long be remembered for its unusual scenery and historical associations. "The vast Navajo country con- tains many ruins of pre-historic cliff dwellings in the beautiful Canyon de Chelly and Canyon de Muerte. One of these ruins, the White House, is especially interesting," writes A. L. Westgard in the December issue of Motor. "Part of this region is poetically called the Painted Des- ert by reason of the wonderfully colored cliffs and natural monu- ments, South of the Navajo country lies the Petrified Forest of Arizona, one of America's most notewortnt natural exhibits, covering 'many thousands of acres, which in coloring and extent surpasses all similar de- posits in the world. As one approach- es the forest one finds first small bits of ithe bright-hued agatiged wood, then larger blocks and stumps, then trunks of whole trees, some more than two hundred feet long and two feet in diameter, but disabuse your mind of finding the trees standing, they are all prone on the ground. How did they get there? The great- est geologists and botanists don't know. It's a puzzle, one guess is as good as the next. ~ But all scientists seem to agree that they fell where they stood, and where they are now found, mineralized, mil¥ons of years later. The Petrifiéd Forest is a Na- tional Monument and one is not al- lowed to carry away specimens." | The Man on Watch It looks as if money will be the last consideration of yoters in the coming election.
