"The United States as a World Power"

By Archibald Cary Coolidge Harvard uni
versty- Published BY the Macmillan com
pany. New York. Price 81.
1t is now two years since Prof. Archi-
bald Cary Coolidge of Howard uniyer-
sity was called to Paris to deliver the
Harvard lectures for that year on the
Hyde foundation at the Sorbonne. Pro-
fess0r Coolidge chose as his subject
The United States as q World Power
"a subject which appealed strongly to
the European critics. The lectures at
tracted so much attention that the
author has developed and expanded
them in a volume which is just pub
lished. He is very modest about his
great work and thinks perhaps his title
is too ambitious, but he could not have
chosen one more felicitous
The aim of the book is stated in the
following selection from his introduc-
ton: 1T is study of the part which
the United States plays in the great
drama Of world politics-a part which
can not help being important and which,
although impossible to prophesy about
in detail, yet is affected by circum-
stances Of geography and Of national
character of history and of tradition, Of
economic and of social conditions sus-
ceptible Of investigation"
in style. Professor Coolidge writes
more like a traveller and a student Of
lege professor. His work is strong and
forceful rather than scholarly and char
acterized always by candor and impair
tiality.
To an American wishing to know the
history and development of his country
as well as the probable outcome Of
mixed questions of the day, no book
can be recommended which will satisfy
all demands as clearly and as sanely as
this one IT is a book which should be
i'm every reference library and Will be
a never ending source of satisfaction to
the reader.
No subject of any Importance is
omitted. from the Monroe doctrine 10
the Japanese question, and all are han
died with the same ease and sanity.
The chapters on the Spanish war and
the isthmian canal are particularly in
teresting. so much information being
condensed into small space.

Che Point Of Honor"

By Joseph Conrad. author Of Lord jim -
youth etc. Published by the Mcclure
company, New York.
q @ perfect a gem Of irony as this
little book by Joseph Conrad has
not appeared in many a day, and
the most remarkable part ap-
pears TO be its author who has been
called "Anglo-Dutch," Polish" and va
rious other things. II is known that
DE was a sailor who taught himself
English from the bible and his nation
alty is still obscure.
This tale would have been called ex-
oeedingly clever II It had been written
by any one TO whom English was a
native tongue, but 1t is little short Of
wonderful that such a feat could be ac-
complshed by a foreigner.
The tale Is OF the times Of Napoleon.
Two OF his officers quarrel with the
slightest and silliest cause imaginable.
one Is Lieutenant Feraud and the other
is Lieutenant d'Hubert. They do not
tell their friends the cause OF their
quarrel and with each promotion II
seems necessary to meet on the field
OF honor" They fight valiantly all
through the wars, often side by side,
even saving each others lives in the
unhappy retreat from Moscow; but be-
tween campaigns they manage TO fight
"a duel each time. D'Hubert was al
ways advanced in rank ahead Of Fe-
raud, so that Feraud would fuss and
fume until he was advanced so that he
would become eligible 10 fight.
When Napoleon was finally sent to
St. Helena, D'Hubert did not lose his
commission. but Feraud was eNiled.
This exile only gave him more time to
think about his enemy and he still
longed for his life. The last meeting
is graphically described and is
pure humOr. The climax is al
most ridiculous, but II ends the
strife forever, even though from
Feraud's point Of view his honor
is never satisfied. II one line in the
book can be criticised Ii is the SEN
tence spoken by DHubert's wife when
she has induced him 10 tell her the
whole story: "8Iais. c'est insense-to
think what men are capable Of" II
is superfuous for the reason has been
SO plainly indicated throughout that il
Weakens an otherwise almost perfect
example OF irony. While the time has
gone Dy when filings at dueling are
needed, that fact does not take away
from the pleasure Of reading this de-
lghtful book.

'The Deylr'

By Ferenc Molnar Adapted by oliver Her
ford. Published by Mitchell Kennerly, New
York.
On the suppositfon that there's no
smoke without a little fire." one must
conclude that Ferenc Molnar's play
The Devil" must have been clever In
the original. oliver Herfords adapta-
tion is heavy and clumsy and possesses
not a scrap of literary merit The peo-
pie who have not seen the play, and
gain their knowledge of 1t from the
book! will wonder what on earth all
the fuss has been about The story of
the tempting of some dull middle class
people from the narrow paths of virtue
is extremely dull and for it's interest
depends entirely upon its theatrical
management. The plot is rather skill
full and the character of THE Devil,'
DR.. Miller. requires a practiced actor
Only one incident In the play is worthy
of mention: that is the DEVILS weeping
satchel." In this little. satchel he car
ries everything necessary for any one
who desires to have cry" When
one of the women he is tormenting is
about to drop into tears he opens the
satchel. passes her handkerchief, then
a hand glass. powder box and puff and
comb.

Otto II. Bacher, the American artist

excuse for leaving the straight ana mar
row path. The other characters in the
book are exceptionally well drawn,
especially the ne'er do well brother
who, after being saved from the peni-
tentiary by Gilbert, leads a mysterious
life. One can not but rebel that so
much crookedness should prosper, but
it is often true in real life. The love
of Gilbert's mother for the wayward
brother is so natural and her criticism
OF Gilbert so unjust but so human.
The plot of the story is lively and
holds the interest through every page
The story develops strongly the diff
ference between pure and false love,
but with no lecturing on the part of
the author. The story itself, apart
from the very interesting psychological
question, is eminently satisfactory.
