 If the test of a good book is that it shall have the power which carries the reader with it, this new history, ''Schley and Santiago" leaves noth- ing to be desired. No one can read it without smelling the powder, hear ing the roar of the guns, and feeling some frenzy of battle. It is a fine story told simply and convincingly. ''Schley and Santiago" is a book that every American should desire to pos sess. It contains the sort of story that will stir the spirit of patriotism in the heart of every American lad. It moves the reader by its directness. The facts the book contain need no literary adornment, and the author, approaching this, has shown rare dis elimination in the way he has put to- gether all the incidents of this re- marka5le cruise of the Flying Squad ron-Milwaukee Sentinel.
 The "Schley and Santiago" story is, of course, one of thrilling interest. although the pleasure of reading it is painfully marred by the thought of the envious and bitter controversy that has shamed our navy and the country itself. That Rear-Admiral Sampson should have felt most keenly his misfortune, by reason of his absence, in not being fin it" at all and so just missed his supreme per sonal opportunity, is not strange. That having missed the credit of the victory, that he should have allowed his consuming selfshness to deprive him of all magnanimity after the vic tory, has proved to be after all his deepest misfortune. That mistake has cost him dearly. It is Schley's magnanimity in his bearing alike to- wards Sampson and Cervera on that historic occasion which has gone so far towards winning for him the de- cisively favorable judgment of the people throughout the country Chicago Tribune.
 The magazine most representative of the west scarcely need be desig- hated. That such a magazine is edited by Chas. F. Lummis also goes without saying. The February num- Der of Out West" certainly speaks for itself and makes good its claim as the best exponent the west ever had of it's material and intellectual life as well as its romance, adventure and scenic attractions. The cover design for February is so marked an i'm provement over previous ones that it is also worthy special note. One of the new departments of this maga- zine which has grown to be force in the west is the one devoted to irriga- ton, colonization and cooperation. The new department of "The Doth Century West" conducted by Will liam E. Smythe, has broadened the popular interest in the magazine i'm mensely. It is now almost as i'm portant for its social and economic features as it has always been for it's rare literary qualities and its attrac- tive presentation of western history. out West" is published in Los An geies by the Land of Sunshine Pub fishing Co. Ten cents copy, one dollar year.
