THE RAINBOW TRAIL.

THE RAINBOW TRAIL. Romance. By Zane
Grey. l2mo. pp 1913. Harper Bros
We know what to expect from Mr..
Grey, and we have learned to like it..
This is his third story of the Arizona
wilderness, but, though the scene re-
mains the same, his plot is new. 1t is
romantic. a visionary quest upon
which his hero sets Out-hence the
title, although there is no pot of gold
at the end of it, but something far bet
ter. He is a tenderfoot and an outcast
for conscience's sake, within him the
making of a man. Navahoes, half
breeds, cowboys, traders, bad men and
good ride through these pages, revolvers
flash, and the long arm of the Federal
law reaches across the continent into
a hidden village just beyond the Dor
der where Mormonism has sought
refuge from prosecution. 1t is in this
settlement OF sealed wives that centre
the action, the adventure and the ro-
nance. One of the bad men in this
story is a missionary to the Indians;
Mr.. Grey does not approve of him, but
one concludes from his pages that the
mer OF Arizona who know the Indians
have prejudice against this class of
workers in general. His descriptions
of the desert are as glowing, as sensi-
tive, as in his earlier books, and his
studies of the Mormons, the older gen.
Grafton and the new, are interesting.
Like its predecessors, the story is
good stuff"

THE SEA-HAWk.

THE SEA. HAWK by Rafael sabatini l2mo.
pp 362. Philadelphia The J. b. IAppincott
Company.
This is a good historical romance of
a not unfamiliar pattern. No wonder
that Sir Oliver Tressilian, who had won
wealth on the Spanish Main and honor
in the destruction OF the Armada,
turned Mohammedan and pirate in the
Mediterranean, for in Protestant Eng
land his own half-brother had betrayed
him, the woman he loved had believed
the accusation falsely brought against
him, and Catholic Spain had condemned
him, a hereto, to the galleys. Thus
he became Sakr-elBar, the Moorish
hawk Of the sea, and harried the COM
mercc of Christianity, but always ran
somed out of his own gains the Eng
lish captives he made. How he raided
the English coast. how he carried off
the woman who had failed him and the
brother who had sent him into slavery
all this, and much more. amidst con-
slant exploits at sea, is told in the
story, which sufficiently well maintains
the distant atmosphere of time and
place

The author of this study is a pioneer
in the field, unduly modest about his
achievement, which, one hopes and ex-
poets, will mark the beginning Of a
more systematic study of this branch
of economies, so strangely neglected
since the days Of Adam Smith. The
author deals with his bject under
three general heads, preparations for
war, the economics of war itself,
and the economic consequences. lie
gives us enough of the history of the
transition from the professional SOL
der to the nation under arms to es-
tablish a historical perspective, con-
siders at some length the economics Of
the wars waged by England in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,
and then proceeds to consider modern
conditions financial burden of
ornaments, the means of meeting war
expenses, whether by indemnities, war
loans and taxes, confiscation or paper
currency, the effects of war on capital
and labor, with, at the end, discus
sion of the economic consequences, the
cost, the mobilization of assets, and
the prospects of the present struggle.

what We may term the literature o.
society, the literature which aims
chiefly, if not solely, to depict and t.
celebrate social life.
OF the supreme figure in that brill
liant world, Professor Tinker has much
to say, and he says it with sympathetic
discrimination. 1t is, of course, chiefly
with Johnson as a conversationalis
that he deals:
In spite of the obvious faults of
Johnson's talk, it is difficult to
speak Of it without continuous
and perhaps offensive use of SUI
perlatives. Age could not wither
Johnson. Instead of impairing his
memory, time enriched it. The
never impeded his quickness of wit
in conversation. He was, to be
sure, fond of parading that POM
posity of style for the amazement
and amusement Of his hearers, and
it is scarcely true to say that he
used one style in writing and an
other in talking. 1t would be -.
nearer the truth to say that as he
grew older he tended to introduce
more of the ease of his talk into
his written work. But it
would be a mistake to infer that
Johnson was a sort Of converse
tional head hunter, or the ourang-
outang of the drawing room whom
Macaulay depicts, alternately howl
ing and growing and rending his
associates in pieces before our
eyes. If we have any respect for
the consistent testimony of his
contemporaries we shall come to
realize that he talked somewhat
unwillingly. He had to be drawn
out. Nothing annoyed him more
than to be shown off.
1t is on the whole a vastly PLEASING
picture, or series of pictures, which the
author draws of the famous literary
lights of London in the latter half Of
the eighteenth century. There is nc
attempt to praise everybody or to con
ceal the absurdities which now. anC
then appeared among-to employ
J ohnsonian simile-the little hshe'
which tried to act like whales. But
there is so much that is worthy OF ad
miration in the record of those times
that the book is instinct with com
mendation and inspiration, rather thar
with criticism and depression. The
world was filled with tremendous deeds
in statecraft and in war in that era
with the Seven Years War, the Amer
lean Revolution and the French Revo-
luton. But amid them all history
gives, and rightly gives, conspicuous
place to the intellectual achievements
of the English Salon.

From The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington, Aug. ia positive de-

World" charges as a labor leader used
by the German propaganda in bringing
about strikes to tie up munitions fac
tories or otherwise hamper the move
ment of munitions to the Allies, was
made to-day to the executive board of
the international Assoc alton of Ma
by Vice-President j. j. Keppler.
Keppler came TO Washington especially
to explain to the board his attitude
on the proposed national strike in mu-
nitions plants and on the charges that
"K," who it was thought might be
Keppler, had been in touch with Ger
man agents.
Keppler told the board that he had
no idea who "K" was. He said that
he had never been approached by any
agent of any foreign government with
plan to bring about strike in a
munitions plant to hamper shipments
of munitions. No labor leader of his
acquaintance had been so approached.
Strikes of machinists in four cities
in New York and New England for the
eight hour day, higher wages and bet
ter working conditions were approved
by the board in the event that the de-
mands of the men should not be
granted. President Johnson declined
to name the cities or plants, preferring
that the negotiations should be con-
Quoted secretly.
Keppler urged a nationwide fight
for the eight hour law and better
wages, saying the campaign should be
concentrated on plants owners OF which
were members of the National Metal
Trades Association. Conditions in those
plants, he said, were worse than in
others.
Reports Of concessions by employers
in Bridgeport, the scene of the recent
munitions strike, pleased members or

women, have granted the eight hour

This story has already been referred

sary. therefore, to deal with IL at great
length now that it has been issued in

Geographic, and tells the adventures
that befell a young girl during the
first year of her attempt to become
self-supporting. The daughter Of an
Irish artist and a woman of unnamed
nationality who had been a member OF
a troupe of strolling acrobats, the
girl, at seventeen, left Quebec for ia
maica, where a place had been found
for her as the only reporter OF small
news sheet. From there she went to
New York, then to Chicago, an inno-
cent, trusting and appallingly ignorant
little creature, earning precarlouS
livelihood by typewriting. always with
the literary goal before her. and will
ing to let a mysterious man OF breed
ing and means, with whom she became
infatuated, supply her needs in an IN
direct manner which she only family
realized. Attached to this man though
SIG was, oUe was uOb dOOfC eabiNhos
and, according to her own confession.
at one time became engaged TO three
admirers at once. Finally. her platonic
protector having become involved in an
unsavory divorce tangle. she fed to
New York with the manuscript of her
first novel, no doubt to achieve with it
her first success. She wrote this story
of her first year out in the world. we
are informed, in two weeks. while re-
covering from an illness. II is only
charitable to accept this statement as
an apology for the unevenness of the
narrative. Some of it is interesting;
the manner in which a mature woman
has remembered the shallowness of
her own girlhood is remarkable. but
the impression left by the book is not
pleasant one. In fact, the real in
terest of "Me" lies in what she does
not tell-her progress after her first
apprenticeship TO life. One would like
to know her identity in order to be
able to read those successful novels
of hers in the light of these naive con-
LESSONS, which, in their determination
to be honest, often crate upon the SEN
sibilities.

BLAKE'S POETRY.

In Selections from the Symbolic
Poems of William Blake" yale Uni
versity Press) DR.. Frederick Erastus
Pierce has gathered the best sections
from the uneven mass of Blake's pro-
phetic verse and arranged them as
nearly as possible in narrative Sc
quence. These prophetic books contain
some profound thought, some passages
of rare poetic beauty, but they are so
obscured by fallacies, incoherent ar
rangement and deliberately mystifying
language that DR.. Pierce's labor Of
Qualification is a real service to those
who, though interested, have hitherto
been repealed by the chaos of it all.

=. In answer to the inference based
on certain of the letters that or any
one connected with the German gov
ernment has been concerned in TO-
menting or encouraging strikes in
factories manufacturing war materials,
rave only to say that there is no
basis for any such assertion or in
situation.
No such transaction or negotiation
as is suggested by the above mentioned
letter from Mr.. Dencken to Mr.. MARROW
or by the McLane letter ever occurred.
While il is true, is above stated,
that all sorts of offers and proposals
we've and are being constantly made to
me (as they are doubtless being made
to the representatives of the Allies in
this country upon that and every other
conceivable subject by people unknown
to US, whom We never took the trouble
to answer or investigate and to whose
proposals We paid not the slightest at
tention, no sucl. transaction as has been
sought to be adduced from the one
sided correspondence that has been
printed ever took place.
Our only offence, on the face OF
these letters, is that of having per-
mitted unknown people to write letters
TO US and of having tucked away the
letters instead of consigning them TO
the waste basket.
Ior months past the newspapers have
been filled with inspired romances Of
our attempts &c foment labor troubles,
Whit, h am glad of the opportunity to
set at rest. 1t is quite on a par with
the baseless and ridiculous assertion
that "the large transactions OF Ger.
mary suggest weekly expenditure OF
S2,C00,000." These sensational false
hoods follow one another so thick and
fast that it is impossible to deny them
if ore were disposed to do so.
3. As to "The Fatherlsnd":
No agent o. representative OF the
German government has or ever had,
directly or indirectly, any control over
or voice in the organization, promulga-
ton. publication. management, policy
or affairs of "The Fatherland." The
paper was in existence, and had, l am
tolc. a wide circulation as publica-
tion of avowedly pro-German sympa-
thies, long before DR.. Dernburg or or
any of us came to this country.
Forbade Attacks on Wilson.
1t so happens that the TRANSACTION,
