By Will Levington Comfort, 381 Pages, Price $1.50, Thomas Lang- ton, Toronto, Publisher. After some peculiar experiences as a war correspondent on the Austrian front, Archer, sick of the whole ghastly business of war, drifts across Asia, ror which will help him to forget it ail. Thus find him at the commencement of wandering from Bulgaria to Palestine, thence to Siberia und China, shadowed by an Austrjan gecret service agent, who has been sent by a sudpecting government to watch his movements He spends many months of weary travel across the great expanses of Asia, and worn clean of everything but need of a friend when he meets with eeking something we the story is the, Reever Quiston, a man who has faced| death in order to free a Siberian col-| ony. The two men take to each oth- other at once, and Archer is sopduet: ed to an art school in Peking, which is presided over by his Quiston"s mother. Then things begin to hag- pen Reever has a sister, Nayan, beantiful and wonderful, and Archer fifids in her the "shielding wing" for hich he has been seeking since he eft the battlefields of the Carpath- fans, 'The art school turns out to be a centre of great influence in the Young China movement, and Archer, by his love for Nayan, finds himselr using his literary ability to forward the cause. His work is hot without danger, and the cunning of the O1- iental is brought to bear in efforts to take his life. But he escapes all the dttempts to do him harm, and lives to carry off Najyun when the art school is closed up because of discovery, and the lttle group of re- formers is scattered to the winds. Comfort is'a past master in the art of painting pen-pictures, and in his latest novel he excells himself. His own experiences in China and Manehuria have been made the basis for the story, and he kpows well the Orient of which he writes. The book is full of thrilling incidents, dramatic and romantic situations, and real life. The carrying away of the beau- tiful Nayan is well told as a love story. The writer has evidently put his whole soul into his work, and the result is a story so enjoyable that it will be poted as one of the famous LOOK AT CHILD'S TONGUE IF SICK CROSS, FEVERISH Hurry, / Mother!

At a time when the world's think- ers and idealists groping in the dark for something upon which lasting peace can be founded this vol ume Ly Dr. Merrill is very timely. He starts off by usking if there is such a thing a Caristian Interpationalism, which he sdys means Christian Civ lization. "Then he goes on to define internationalism, trying to distin guish between the true internation- alism, which is the proper climax of patriotism, and the toise internation alism, which is selfish in spirit and | deed, and which is the negation of | patriotism. The #uthor traces the growth of the inter-racial spirit of sympathy and brotherhood, as set forth in the Old Testament, enlarged upon in the New Testament, and worked out in the history of the church, although not in the actual policies of che na- tions supporting the church, He seizes upon the essential connection between democracy and internation- alism, and shows that real democracy is exactly the same in origin and spirit us true Christianity. The whole volume deals with the move ment toward international order from the point of view of the Christian be- Hever. Ht deals specially with the ideals and spirit of America as giving concrete expression to real democracy and to real religion, It sets forth the various constructive proposals that have been made for world or- ganization, presents tha difficulties and problems which the cause is en- countering at present, and calls "5 a true and deep Christian' faith as the one force sufficient to mect these obstacles triumphantly and to give adequate sanction to t League of Nations. Finally it hints 'at the domestic and national readjustments which are necessary if the interna- tional is to be solved. In conclusion he says: "No words ean better set forth the spirit in which we should face the world of our day, its immense demands, its Sore needs, its vast responsivilities and opportunities, than words such as those which Lincoln closed his second inaugural address: "With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive onward to finish the work in which we are engaged, to do all that may achieve a just and lasting peace among all nations." w are THE EDGE OF THE QUICKSANDS, By, D. Thomas Curtin. 321 pages. Price, $1.50. ' Hodder & Stough- ton, Toronto, Publishers. D. Thomas Curtin, the .writer of this book, hag some varied war ex- periences. As an American war cor- respondent, he visited every one of {| the fighting fronts in Europe, and saw the war from the German and Austrian side of (the lines as well ds from the British, Belgian, French and American side. Such being the case,~ jt As only natural that he should "have a very Interesting story to tell, and that his deductions should be of great vaiue. What he has tried- to do in this book is to tell of the characteristics of the difierent combatants, and to show the people of the English speaking race exactly what they have had to face. Therefore his k takes on the tone of a volume descriptive of (customs and characteristics, from { the ex-kaiser to the meanest private in the ranks. The manu of 'the book was evidently en during the fall of 1918, in tie days before the armis- ice was signed, so that in the Maght of recent events, some of the state- ments made by the author are rath er extravagant. But neverthel 3 many things whica were of 'rest importance in the winning of the war. To begin with, he shows the great a the German people, their ways, their |' difference which exists between the ideas and idedls of the German people and the Anglo-Saxon race. He shows Germany as a number of small states, with Prussia supreme in power and strength in every de- partment of the government, and the whole thing under the tyranny of one man, the late kaiser. He shows how the people were misro- presented in the German parlia- ment, and also how they were fed with tales of success during the war Of course, there is nothing new in being told this, but Curtin"s manner of telling is interesting. He goes on tgp tell of the gradual changing of the German mind to democratic ideas, and how that change was fought through the state-snbsidised press An aston- ishing feature is the in which President Wilson's ideas were re- ceived and discussed In one part | he~quotes from the German press, showing the (German propaganda against democracy, "The most dan- gerous enemy of the German people is «democracy It is democracy that we shall have to fight when our way he Daily Britis fellows.

The one fault of the book is that | took much of it is devoted to Ger- jman psychology and German ideas. | For instance, what Canadian wishes to Imbibe the following doctrine, quoted from Baron von Freytag, in reference +¢o the mnext war: "Our business is to maintain the funda- mental ideas of war as they lived in the German army up to the year 1914, to soak them in the experi- ences of the present war, and to make the fullest technical use of these experiénces."" That idea, hap- pily, is dispelled the defeat of the Germans, Outside of the fault mentioned however, the book is very readable! The text is embellished by tales of strange and thrilling personal ex- periences and Interviews with fam- ous personages. The writer has carefully and correctly analyzed the forces at work on the HKuropean continent, and points out the dang- ers towards which the German people are drifting. One thing he shows very clearly is the type of enemy with whom peace terms are being made, and 'his study of the German. mind. is. ef. great help. in correctly summing up the" present chaotie condition of things in Eu- rope. by | The Man on Watch Do the Kingston housewives like butter too well to boycott it for. a fortnight?
