an unknown young man describes the
murderers and their methods in such
a precision of what seems to be impos-
sible detail as to rouse grave suspi-
cions either of his own sanity or his

proceeds by way OF the adventures Of

pretty much at the mercy Of the crimi-
nails on the one hand and the police
powers on the other. After a series of
hazards and escapes that for daring
and dash rival worthily those of the
famous Arsene Lupin the mystery of

Crealock's portrait is of woman

Is of an author seated at his desk writ
ing by a lighted lamp. Here. too, the
ceiling Is high, the furnishings rich. the

an interior as one of the great Dutch
painters might have pictured, and the

There is in this same collection q
painting made in England by the late
Sir Alfred East. one Of the most dis
tingulshed of Englands landscape
painters. indeed of all the landscape
painters Of our day. This picture
which is entitled The Rainbow" was
one of his last works and was exhibit
years ago, the summer Sir Alfred died.
1t Is a superb piece Of painting

hills. More than half the canvas repre-
sents sky-and such a sky, brilliant
blue in patches. but almost covered
with shower clouds, through which the
rainbow has pierced with glittering
brilliancy. There Is wonderful spacious
suggestion here and an evident deep
sense of natures simple grandeur. Sir
Alfred East was a hard student as well
a man of vision. and his landscapes
were always works Of art as we'll as
transcriptions of nature. While possi-
bly, less usual than his pictures of in

trees. still this painting is very char

painters of France. He has. however,
not confined himself solely to working
in his own country and is no less well
known or highly esteemed in England,

THE WORLD CRISIS AND IT'S MEAN

D. Appleton & Co.
! In this book DR.. Adler seeks the
meaning and promise of the present
| world crisis. wherein a vast struggle
is going on, not merely a struggle of
hostile nations for victory. but rather
a struggle of different types of civil
ization for ascendancy. In pursuit of
the Significance of this world wide tur-
aspects of the war and depicts the
various ideals that are animattng and
inspiring the combatants. And upon
the results of this analysis and this In
depreciation he draws. as upon back
ground, the promises and possibilities
of future internationalism of indus
trial and social amity. Within this
question. too. this writer includes more
than the war itself. He here discusses,
as a part of this theme. The Moral

found thinker and doer along the lines

reform. DIR. Adler. in this volume. gives
the reader a broad and stimulating
vision of the future that will rise out
of this turbulent present, which is
waking up the whole world to fuller
