Mcclure, Phillips & Company an-
nounce for publication this month a
new book by Joseph Conrad, the author
of ''Youthn Like youth" IL consists
of three long short stories. Youth"
dealt with adventures on the worlds
waterways; "Falk" deals with adven-
lures on the pathway OF love. Critics
have conjectured great deal as to

and tyrant in far away oriental har-
Dor, that he was once driven by clrcum-
stances to cannibalsm. The other tales
are similarly unique In motive ana
