This novel for perhaps a third of
it, is California story, centering about
family called Mar in the little in
terror town of Valdivia. This part of
the tale is rather prosaic, but the
characterizations are well done. Every
figure stands out as clearly as an old
friend and one must read on and on to
know all their experiences. Suddenly.

The great bond between him and

for the north that is like nothing else

of the south. A man loves the south
as he loves a soft bed, and the warm
corner by the fire; but he loves the
north as he loves his prey"
That is the secret of the book. The
spell Of the north gets into the blood
of each and every one of the char
acters in one way or another, and some

These stories are translations from
the German, and embrace six short
tales, all of them dealing with that
fundamental idea of the Jewish peo-
pie, the love and devotion found in the
family 1t is this same love that has
kept the Jewish people in class by
themselves; that has made of their
homes castle. a stronghold in which
the head of the house reigns supreme;
the loving devotion of wife and chill
dren compensating him thousand
fold for the slurs and contumely cast
on him and his religion. The transla-
tion is very poor, and only to the read
er who has some knowledge of Jewish
customs are the principal points in the
stories understandable Zangwill and
Myra Kelly have given us glimpses of
Jewish life so cleverly drawn that the
atmosphere of the Ghetto has been, as
1T were, imbibed with the reading of
their stories In these translations
Mosenthals stories appear to have
been entirely rewritten, with all the
local color and atmosphere translated
out of them. With one or two excep-
tions all the tales are sad, the motive
power of each being self-sacrifice, a
wife for her husband, daughter for
her mother, or her sense of duty to her
religion, and through them all runs the
strong bond of the love of the parent

Richard Harding Davis has proved
himself one of the most gifted writers
of the day, and still another side of his
amazing versatility is shown in this
latest effort from his pen, The Congo
and Coasts of Africa" The book is of
the greatest Importance now, when all
the civilized world is crying out against
the atrocities of the Congo, and one
learns more in a few chapters in this
book than from, all the others published
on the subject
Mr.. Davis is most conservative in his
statements, and nowhere is there any
evidence of the hysteria which has
marked the writings of other Congo
investigators. Mr.. Davis says that the
cold blooded despotism which rules the
Congo is in itself so colossal so stu
pendous wrong that it dwarfs into al
most insignificance the barbaric physic-
al cruelties which are the first thing
the other writers mention.
Mr.. Davis first chapter, THE Coast
ers," tells of the trip and of the various
stops made on the West African coast
Next comes the chapter on MY Broth
er's Keeper" in which the story of
the government of the Congo is told
1t can scarcely be called a government
for Leopold seems to consider it as his
personal property and the Inhabitants
as his slaves, put there for his own
pleasure and profit.
In the third chapter Mr.. Davis trav-
els into the interior. and in this, The
Capital of the Congo" we see plainly
the Indifference of the Belgian officials
TO the sufferings of the natives and
how perfectly helpless the latter are
In the fourth chapter, americans in
the Congo" we are apt to lose a bit
of our self-conceit and see how little
Leopold really regards us. Mr.. Davis
gives US many details Of business. as it
is carried on there, and how hopeless
1t appears TO be at present even for
so all powerful corporation as the
Guggenheims, who have some tre-
mendous concessions but find 1t abso-
lutely impossible to get labor of any
kind Every black is a slave and be-
longs TO Leopold! In this same chap
ter the author sums up his charges:
The charges brought against Leo
pold II, as king of the Congo, are three
"(a) That he has made slaves of the
2o.000.oo0 blacks.
'(b) That in spite Of his promise to
keep the Congo open to trade, he has
closed it to all nations.
'(c) That the revenues of the coun-
try and all of its trade he has retained
for himself
Any one who visits the Congo and
remains only two weeks will be con-
vinced that of these charges Leopold is
guilty. In that time he will not see

to go alone to Alaska to find her father
