gularly artistic and beautiful develop-
ment- Formerly their cards were splen-
nid OIL reproductions of the worlds
famous places; the edition Just out is
like collection OF daintiest water col
ors "A large number of the views are
OF the lakes and mountains of Ireland
and Scotland. They are so placed on
the card that they have the appearance
Of being framed. Each picture is fur
Lner identif1ed by a quotation from
some OF the poets who have sung the
beauties OF these places. The we'll
managed balance of color used in these
cards is genuine achievement in
printing. Others in this collection are
reproductions of noted landscape paint
ngs, as well as those of animals An
unusual feature of this edition is the
success in the Illustrations of well
known lines of-the famous poets. The
mower cards are especially good and
the acme of refinement in prints has
been reached in the reproductions CT

The Russian Bastille," by Simon o.
Pollock (Charles II. Kerr & Coz was
written during the short period OF
Days OF Liberty" when there was
hope that the fortress would no longer
be used as a political dungeon. 1t was
visited by many thousands of friends
OF prisoners who had languished there
for years, and the horrors of the
Schusselburg dungeon were told TO the
world. Since then, however a new
reign of terror has been inaugurated
and again its doors are closed. The
book Is printed now to draw attention
TO the abuses practiced there. of which

.RusSia's ReSsagR"

By William English waIIing. Published by
Doubleday. Page & Co., New York. Price So.
~ALIFORNIANS. or, rather, San
Franciscans, should take an es-
pecial interest in "Russia's Mes
sage" not so much on account of
the subject as because Of its authorship.
William English Walling, the writer
married Anna Strunsky, who lived here
so long and was always actively in
terested in the great cause" Their
misadventures with the Russian police
are still fresh in mind. After their
marriage they went to Russia. where
Miss Strunsky's sister Rose, joined
the party. staying with them through
out their travels and Investigations.
This book is the result Of two years
OF deep study Of the situation IN Rus
sia- While Mr. Walling is frankly on
the side Of the revolutionists. one can
hardly blame him after reading some
Of the revelations he makes.
From the drst word of his preface
to the last in the volume il is his
contention that Russias message is "A
warning TO the rest of the world. The
dedication he writes:
ITO the men and women who in all
walks of life are contending against
the forces that are trying TO introduce
into America the despotism and class
rule OF eastern Europe; TO all those
who. la the traditional revolutionary
American spirit. are leading our coun-
try against all the reactionary ten
dencies prevailing in politics, morality,
education, literature and science; to its
great democratic and social world des-
tiny"
Mr.. WaIing has not written this
huge book Of 476 pages for the casual
reader. rather is IL for those seriously
interested in the Russian revolutionary
movement, those who have not always
understood all the motives leading up
20 tragic events. While the author has
visited Asiatic Russia. the Caucasus
and the Baltic provinces. Poland and
Finland. he has little 10 say about the
situation IN those places, but has de-
voted most OF his space TO the Russian
part Of Russia. The otner place, he
says. need books for themselves.
'The crimes Of the Russian govern
ment arc so nonstrous and so mani
fold. Mr.. Walling asserts. that I have
quito despaired Of giving any salts
factory picture OF them as a whole. In
ny first chapters ] have dwelt at some
length with this subject, but I have
devised the economical measure Of TAX
Ing the Jews as my central theme, not
because I consider that their persecu-
tions are any worse than other peoples
ip Russia, nor because they are more
important than other nationalities, as,
for instance. the Tartars or the Poles.
but because they have themselves been
selected by the government as the
center Of the whole persecution sys-
tenn"
II the reader has a shuddering recol-
lection Of any OF the outrages recorded
IN the newspapers n few years ago.
let him prepare for much worse hor-
rors IN this book. The tales are all
true, says Mr.. Walling, and he holds
proof for every one OF them, but he
explains that IL he had published these
proofs as footnotes the book would
have been too large. It is one Of the
most important works on the question
that has appeared in recent years.

-"The Greater Love"

BY Anna Mcclure Shol author of .'The Law
Of Life" etc. Published by the Outing
company. New York. Price $1.5o.
The author of The Law of Life" and
the Port OF Storms" has written her
best story in The Greater Love-" 1t
is problem novel and yet the problem
can hardly be called a problem, after
all. That, for a woman, there is no
evading the consequences of a trans
gression of the law governing the sexes
is the keynote of the book. The cir
cumstances are more than eXtenuating.
but the law holds good.
The real heroine of the book is
Eleanor Valgrave, mother of Constance,
the story of whose life as a young girl
one picks up bit by bit as the story
moves. She had been a motherless New
England girl, living with an old fash
ioned, straight laced brother who ruled
the household so severely that at last
Eleanor ran away to Paris, joined the
art colony and became fairly successful.
At this time she met a charming En-
glishman who was unhappily married
to woman with an insanely bad
temper. but from whom he could not
be divorced. When Eleanor learns that
he Is married she sends him away, but
about this time the siege of Paris be-
gins and he is so anxious about the
girl that he breaks through the lines
and hunts her up. She is too fright
ened and weak TO send him away again
and they are happy-outside the law.
Later a daughter is born to them and
still later the man goes to Africa on an
exploring expedition. All their lives
they are as true to their Iawless love
for each other as though they were

One OF the best books OF the season
Is by Miss Cecily Hamilton, a Londoner

IS well known In London. where she
has been acting as well as writing, but
"a new 10 American audiences.
Mana, one reads, came OF the class
snat breeds revolutionists-the class
teat, knowing itself gentle by birth and
education. nnd itself lacking in the
means to maintain the one and crafty
The other and realizes, as perhaps no
other class can do, the sheer brute
power OF money"
The heroine is the daughter of an
improvident country doctor. At his
death her few distant relatives are
only too glad TO find that she has
spirit" and independence enough to
attempt 10 earn her own living. Poor
Diana has a hard time Her spirit"
loses her position after position. She
turns shopgirl in London, "Iiving-in,"
which means that the girls employed
in the shop are provided with beds
very much in dormitosy style, but are
chcericss and hideously uncomfortable.
Ilc Sirls are All going TO bed and

about everything at Dobson's depart

The girl who comes in brings a letter
