NJ. DAVIS IN THE WAR ZONE.

VI. DAVIS IN The WAX ZONE.
WITH TIE ALLIES BY Richard Harding Davis.
Illustrated. $40. ~. a. "a. Charles scribnef
The day Of the war correspondent on
the battle line is past; the Japanese
military authorities taught their West
ern colleagues something in this regard
which seems TO have been adopted as
the inyarisble rule for all future war
fare. But even though the correspond
ent can no longer be literally at the
front, be can still render great service
70 his readers in the war zone, al
though even there, 1t is abundantly
apparent, he is far from welcome. Mr.
Davis was arrested as a spy in Belgium
By the Germans, and no wonder:
The Germans, thinking | was an
English spy, scowled at me; and
the Belgisns, thinking the same
thing, winked at me; and the land

LURES AND SPELLS
Two Handsome Books of
Travel Abroad.

THE LURE OF LONDON. By Lillian Whiting
illustrated from photographs, $40. pp. $40. BoS-
THE SPELL OF SPAIN. BY Keith Clark Mus
pany.
Miss Writings is a book of many
enthusiasts and many lures-London's
brilliant social lure leading them all.
Then there are the historical lure, the
intellectual lure, the artistic lure. and
even the spiritual lure, for London,
with her workingmen's colleges, her
vast and enthusiastic army of social
workers, her religious influences, TO-
cuses this spiritual significance until
its force is universally recognized. Thus
is evolved the lure of London, not of
one thing, but of many. One visitor
will recognize enc phase; a different
aspect will especially appeal to an
other; but if the lure of London were
placed under that mental spectrum
that reveals each separate strand, it
would be found many-sided. many.
colored, Of varying and complex text
ture, but vital, magnetic, irresistible"
There is, further, the lure of Annie
Besant, the Theosophist. and of George
Shaw, the Socialist, and of monuments
and art galleries, and learned societies
and clubs and palaces and the Vic
torians of letters. And, browning 1t
all, there is the lure of the royal fami-
~, for, says Miss Whiting, "the court
of Mary maintains the unvarying high
ideals Of the still youthful Queen. With
fidelity to the royal traditions in which
she was born and.reared, she has stead
tasty made her influence felt for all
that is worthy and of good report"
Indeed, this is a book of many enthu-
siasms merging in one great one. II
should prove widely popular among
t. members OF that great public which
Miss Whiting has addressed for years.
The illustrations from photographs
are notably good.
Mr.. Clark's book forms the latest
volume of what the publishers call
the spell Series" 1t is pleasantly
written, thanks largely to the authors
real or imagined COMPANION whom he
calls "Dona," and who gives a human
interest TO the sightseeing from Glib

way, they omitted from their explora-
tions. because il was not really Span
ish, but they visited Tangier, where

he declared. at change, it be like
any place in America, in France. in
England. 1t no longer be interesting
to any one, not TO me-" There IS
most sympathetic chapter on Alfonso
XIII and has family; and, apropos Of
weddings, the following observation IS
worth quoting:
Marriage by proxy is. one of the
safeguards which Spain throws
about the marriage of her migrat-
inc women. without this marriage
by proxy no gir IS permitted to
sail for the vague New World,
where the promise might or might
not be kept. If the more modern"
Northern nations would do this
thing. surely immigrant marriages
would be on q better basis.
Spanish art receives the measure OF
attention that is its due in a book OF
his kind. There are some illustrations
in colors and many more reproduced /
from photographs.
