Company, Ltd., Toronto, Publish- ers. The historians of.the wir are now beginning to have their works pub< lished, and it is probable that very Soon the market will be flooded with works of this kind. So ins the major- ity of them 'have been histories ex tending into numerous volumes, and selling at prices beyond the reach of the purse ol the ordinary man. The John Hertel Company, however, has produced a volume which is complete in itself, and is a rather unique re- cord of the war. This book is an il- lustrated history of the war, showing in pleture 'the chief events and those who were the leaders in them. It is edited by three men who are well qitalitied to act as historians of the war. These are 8. J. Duncan Clark, the famous war analyst and war cor- (respondent, W. R. Plewman, the military critic of the Toronto Star and W, 8. Wallace, lecturer of his- tory at the University of Toronto, and late major in the Canadian in- iantry. This volume of war history tells in splendidly condensed re the whole story of the events 18ading up to the war, the leading events in the war itself, and the results which ane likely to acorue from the allied wie- tory. Every page is illustrated, many official war pictures being included in 'the 'large number reproduced. Photographs of the leading generals, and of the leading statesmen of the war are-also shown in large num- bas, The section of greatest inter- est to Canadians is that contributed By Professor Wallace, which tells of the achievements in battle of the, Canadian Corps. The story is well and graphically told, as well as be- ing accurate und utiexaggerated. This is a history which should be Popular. It is complete in one vol- ume, and sells at a popular price. It attempts to encompass the causes of the great conflict, the chief happen- ings of military and political import- ance during the bloodiest fifty-one moliths of the world's histogy, and A | their resulté and effects upon tho It is well bound, hations involved, ] and is a most at- appearance. For the reader who seeks a straightfor- ward, cirdums ial narrative of the war, without its chief events. heing clouded and obscuned by 'a multipli- City of subsidiary details, this history should have a strong appeal. { i THE NEMESIS OF MEDIOCRITY.

The outlook as Seen thromgh the spectacles of this learned professor is by no means & bright one. Bereft of true leaders, with false notions of democracy, and with educdtional systems which do not tend to the development of lead- ers in any sphere save in the spheres of business, the outlook for this old world, according to the author is ap- parently not promising, , That is the Impression given until one reads the postscript of six pages at the end of the original essay, which, it is only fair to say, was writ. ten in the spring of the year 1918. The events which have occurred since then have somewhat tempeged the author's ideas regarding the lack of leadership. He is still of the same mind as leadership in civil life and' thought, and in religion and philosophy, but he Holds out hope for the world in the leadership ot action. The names of Clemenceau, referréd to in the original as "super: annuated," of King Albert of Bel glum, of Joffre, Foch, Haig, Petain, Allenby, Beatty and Jellicoe, are put forward as those of men who have shown that in. thé field of action, at least, there are leaders worthy of the name, The author again peers into the future. He sees in the re- turning heroes of the trenches and of the perils of the sea the men who may yet become the world's leaders.

He has called a spade a spade, and not an agricultural imple- ment, and he deserves great credit for his masterly handling of this vital question of world leadership. te nea FLEXIBLE FERDINAND. By Julie M. Lippman, Price $1.50, George H. Doran Com- pany, New York, Publishers. Poor little Ferdinand in his child- hood days was a rather unfortunate youth. He rapidly earned a reputa~ tion for himself of being easily sway- ed, and for having no decided ideas of his own. His whole life was or. dered by others, and he seemed to lack in will-power and definite pur- pose, His young days were a time of repression, and his future gave a great deal of concern to those around him. Financial reverses in the fam. ily brought about a crisis in his ex. fstence, and the death of his father marked an epoch which began the change in his career, Some years after his father's death, by suicide; he found out the reason 'for his be: reavement, and this is so intimately connected with himself that he adopls a new philosophy of Hie. Born an artist, his flexible nature permits him to adopt the profession of sur. geon at the mere suggestion of his sis- ter, and in that profession he gains rapid fame. But his soul is unsatis- fled. : The girl who plays the leading part in the story is a friend of his childhood's days. ' She knows his na- ture, and ds rather afraid of the Strank in him which causes him to the in the that p est expectations, and is every te 5 : This is nothing more or less {han a light novel, writen in the effer- vescent style peculiar to the author.

Doran Company, New York, Publishers. *) Away back in the western country there was a young farmer named Martin Calkins. This farmer bad in- herited a piece of timber Mand, of doubtful value for anything but pulp- wood, on the banks of the Rainy Riv- er. One dty he was surprised by one named Keener, the. one of the ¢ suggests that he is only willing to sell the pulpwood rights. His Susgestion is met by threats, and he second season fatlure seems certain because of & Huge dam built by Keener which threatens to flood ail farmers are thoroughly aroused Keener's action, and the danny Trouble is blown up. be- the corporation arrives on the scene it is found that Kee was working without his authority, and the tromn- ble is at an end. The love story in the book occu- pies a secondary place, but it is a charming and delightful one - The appeal of the struggle of the hero, with only his brains and strength, against the wealth of the crafty Keener, and of his love story, al- most broken off. by jealousy, is irre- sistible, and this is indeed a gripping novel. It is not too heavy and not too light, and deserves to have a wide reading. THE AMBASSADOR'S TRUNK. By George Barton, 310 Pages, Plice - $1.50. The Page Company, Bos. ton, Publishers, George Barton is gaining a reputa~ tion as one of the most indefatigable of fiction writers. "In a very short space of time he has given to hij public "The Mystery of the Red Flame." "The Strange Adventures of Bromley Barnes," "The World's Greatest Military Sples and Secret us "The Ambassador's Trunk." Like his other novels, this is a 'story of Bromley Barnes, the veteran ¢rimin- al investigator attached to the Unit- ed States Secret Service, But in this case Barnes does not occupy the centre of the stage. The place of honor is given to Vance Prescott, an invalided captain mow witached to the. Intelligence Department. The mystery in the story revolves around a very important document which is stolen from the house of Francis Vernon, whose daughter, Hope, Is the heroine of -the plot. w Vance Prescott and Bromley Barnes undertake the task of recov- ering the papers, which have been Stolen by .a German agent, Count Castro, in whom Vernon had great confidence before he was exposed. The chase involves many exciting ad- ventures and escapes from death, and Miss Vernon plays a desperate part in the attempt to recover the stolen contract. Sgecess is only at- tained at the last moment by the endeavours of Prescott, who finds his reward in winning the brave girl for his wife, Excitement and midline features of the limit, and the various 1 involved are all typical of the classes of people to be found across. the berder when America entered the war, The thrills in the story will make it appeal to many readers. Al- though it follows a somewhat hack- neyed style. There have been so many books of this nature that they begin to pall upon the appetite, even with. the added attraction of being well written and full chizracterization. e Good taste, skill and severe train- ing are asgrequisite and necessary in the proper production of books as ini any other of the fine arts.
