 in this book I am directing that all my profits from the volume go to one or other of the funds for Belgian relief"
 Not the least interesting feature of MT Kaufman's book is the Dedication" of it. which is inscribed as follows:
 "ro the women and children of Bel gium. To their aged and nfirm: To those kindly. peaceable, courageous folk. those thousands who. 'in a moment of time" have been robbed of husbands, sons and lovers; who have been tortured. vio- lated: woh have lost their homes and means of livelihood; who today face star vation because their protectors scorned temptation and set honor above life; to them and to all those Americans who are helping them in their dark hour of need. '
 In speaking of writing Tn A Moment of Time,' the author says:
 Tt was my fortune to see something of Belgium in wartime, and 1 have here tried to tell al least part of what l saw. Nevertheless except perhaps for the mar rative of the early rush to ostend and the final bombardment of Antwerp, this is not, in current phrase, another war book al all: it is not an account of deeds ob- served on the firing line: it is at best but an adequate record of some incidents ob- served on the bread line. When l read MT l.. Alexande Powell's vivid Fighting in Flanders and MT. Rlchafd dardlhS Davis thrilling chronicle of his exper- fences With the allies, I perceived imme- dately that record of what little l ob- served of actual fighting would have small value beside those better-nformed vol umes. But l did see enough of the &C., tual fighting and enough of the suffering Of those who could not fight to know that of the latter and their needs too much could not be written: to feel that it is the duty of every American man and woman who has any first hand knowledge of the Belgian non-combatants' distress to lay that knowledge before the generous peo- pie of the United States. Several of the incidents narrated came to me at second hand, but I have set down nothing that did not have plentiful corroboration and I have repeated nothing that did not come from reliable sources and persons of authority"

 THE RIM OF THE DESERT" By Ada Woodruff Anderson; with from
 tspiece by Monte Crews. Little,
 Brown & Co. publishers, Boston
 Tn. "The Rim of the Desert" Ada Woodruff Anderson has written a most delightful story which has to do with one David Weatherbee. self -forgetful intrepid big of soul, far-seeing, with the faculty of winning the entire de- votion and loyalty of his fellows.
 When he meets his death on the frigid Alaska trail his closest friend Hollis Tisdale a United States mineral expert resolved to carry out Davidis long cherished project of reclaiming section of land he had bought at the head of a desert valley in the Colum- bia river country, and creating of it a fruitful Eden.
 Along with Tisdales devotion to David is a deep seated abhorance to David's widow, whom Tisdale resolves to punish for her treatment of her hus- band by forcing her to carry out David's ambition.
 In the end, Mrs. Weatherbee pays in full the debt Tisdale claims of her but hardly in the spirit or by thc method that he originally intended.
 The reader is given pen picture of two vividly strong characters and a surrounding group of minor people, who have an influence on affairs or whose own lives are affected by the leading drama
 "The Rim of the Desert" is a drt.- matic, well rounded story, crowded with anecdote and adventure. with fine descriptions of Washington and Alaska, and with a love story whose complica- tions are of an unfamiliar sort
