Richard Harding Davis's THE Re-

ner's is probably the most brilliant
piece of war correspondence since
his famous story of the fight at Las
Guasimas. He gives a vivid impress
sion of the ways of living, the priva-

danger in the besieged city, and Of
the fine spirit of endurance that en-
abled its defenders to hold out until
the last.
