INTERNATIONAL MYSTERY.

The IlustrIous Prince. BY f. Phillips
Oppenheim. With Illustrations by VIII
Foster. Published by Little, Brown,
and Company. Boston.
Oppenheim is a prolific, dramatic, and
most interesting writer. He always
gets his characters into the thick Of
things, and be always brings them
through triumphantly. The new story
is narrative of complications. of mys'
terry, and of international iugglery,
that carries the interest wildly with
out a break The motive of the story
is the keen, persevering. and anxious
effort on the part Of the Emperor Of
Japan, through his agents, to find out
the secret reason for the round the
world cruise Of the American battle
ship fleet. The Mikado is represented
as not being satisfied with the open
reason given, but suspects that there
was something rlterior, and something
perhaps directed against Japan in it.

And This Is War BY Carl Uermon Dud~
ley, The Cochrane Publishing Com
pany. New York.
In this work the writer bears down
heavily upon the horrible cruelty Of
war. He gives series Of pictures OF
the tragedies that como TO individual
sufferers because Of wars. It is q power
full presentation of the personal argu-
ment against war. The author seeks to
prevent bloodshed by depicting the
heartrending episodes that accompany
human slaughter in the conduct of war.
The very young man is pictured leav-
ing his newlyfound sweetheart and hls
fond parents to do what he esteems his
sacred duty, offering his young life on
the altar of his country. Then is drawn
the picture Of the older man. who prob,
ably is drafted into the service and
cannot afford n substitute, who realizes
the dangers that confront him and the
chances that his children may be left
fatherless. These pictures are drawn
with vivid, strong. and picturesque f.
deity to fact, and the book is evidently
worth the reading by those who think
that the worst thing in the world is war.
