NEW PUBLICATIONS.


Frederick Davis Greene. published by q.
L. Pusnam's Sons, deals with a present
reality. condition OF things almost TOO
horrible 20 believe. that Is disgrace and
an outrage on the civilization OF the nine
tenth century. The story of the crimes
OF The brutal Turks upon the helpless ar
meBians has been told in the newspapers
OF all nations. The details Of the masSa-
ores are sufficient argument for the sup
preston OF the infamous Turk" The
author is thoroughly equipped for his
task Birth, residence and travel IN Tur-
key have made him personally acquainted
with the situation which ne discusses, and
the independence Of his position enables
him 10 write without restraint and with
out prejudice. After nearly four years CT
service as a missionary OF the American
board in Van, the center of Armenia, dur
ing which no criticism of his course was
ever made either by the board or by the
Turkish government, ne was recently CT
dered by his physician 70 return to Amer
lea Having resigned his connection with
the American board. he writes as the rep
resentative OF no society. religious or no-
littcal. and is connected with none. In
issuing this book he is simply discharging
what TO him is a personal and unayoid-
able obligation; and as he frankly avows
its authorship. it will be impossible for
the Turkish government 10 hold any one
else responsible for IL.
The author shows that the case of the
subject races In the Ottoman empire is
desperate. that there is no hope OF reform
from within, and that relief must there
fore come from the interference of the
powers OF Europe. Mr.. Greene makes a
plea 10 bring public opinion TO bear rpon
this case.
THE Coming Revolution" by Henry
l.. Call, is an addition 10 the literature
of the day, called out. evidently. by the
discomfort of the people under the pres
sure Of hard times" The following par
agraph tells in a few words the authors
ideas:
THE abuses of privilege which now
Cypress socisty are, We have seen. of a
political nature and origin. These are not
due 10 any natural or pr0vidential causes,
but are. instead. produced solely by the
Institutions and laws under which We
live. If. then. man would rise out OF the
depths into which he has sunk and
achieve his freedom, he must lay the
AK at the root of the tree.-he must REM
edy his laws and institutions. This rev.
olutton must be political In its nature
The new republic must be founded upon
just laws and free institutions" Pub

THE Equafites of Para-Para" Is the
title of an unusual volume written by
is written from the dictations OF a GER
tain DR.. Rambler. who claims TO have
discovered accidentally in the heart of
the Desert of Sahara a strange people,
by whom for nearly a year he was held
as national prisoner. According to the
story, a most perfect state of equality
exists in Para-Para, every person being
reduced artificially. in body and mind. to
the normal standard of the Equalites.
The distinctions OF sex have almost dis
appeared and the only thinking. self
a-ssertive individuals are the members OF
a certain society of ouccasts, called
''Sophs." Although the Equalites seem
10 be scarcely superior to brutes their
institutions show conclusiveiy that a
wonderful state OF civilization once ex-
listed among them. DR.. Rambler became
intimate with the outcast Sophs," and
from them learned the history of this
strange nation. 1t appears that the fore
fathers of the Equalltes came from China
six centuries ago. They founded the
state of Wa. the people of which are
described as having possessed the high
est possible culture, as we'll as true hap
piness. Religious, political and social
changes, however. led to new forms or
government: first to absolute individual
freedom, then 10 conditions akin 70 social
ISM and finally, for want Of savior,
10 anarchy. Afterward the sun existing
state of the Equalites arose from the
ruins Of anarchy. The history of Para
Para shows that the forefath theirs of the
Equalites were at one time or another
confronted with all the important prob
iems that trouble our day and age. At
the end DR.. Rambler found that he was
peculiarly regarded by all the female
TqualNes whose almost dormant pas
sions he had unconsciotisly awakened.
This condition of affairs brought about
the destruction OF the ''Sophs." with
whom he had associa ted, and al the same
time led to his escape. Published by the
SchuldtSiathmann Company, Chicago.
