THE VOICE IN THE FOG

By Harold MasGrath. Illustrated by
 A. B. Wenzell. The ,Bobbs Merrill Co.,,
 publishers, Indianapolis.
 Here's a brand new Harold MacGrath
 story. ''rhe Voice In the Fog which will
 delight the thousands of admirers and
 readers of this popular novelist.
 It is refreshing. deliciously unique and
 interesting from the very opening chapter
 to the end.
 Life for most of us fs getting up in
 the morning and going to bed again at night with eight or more hours of work sandwiched in between. Our adventures are the practical adventures of something t, cat and something to wear. If we keep out of debt and in health we feel wa have done pretty well. And so we have. but it is not particularly exhiarating. Life. we know, must hold something more; that if we had time to turn the corner we should find romance. if we were free to go down on the other side of the mountain we should meet adventure. But work and duty are our relentless over- seers. How shali we escape them and find the happy land of something doing? There is but one door open. and above 1t is written the cheering word fiction. and Mr MacGrath is pre-eminent in this. THEREOF: DOG or BELGIUM" By Walter A. Dyer. Illustrated. By Cor don Grant. Doubleday, Page ,& Co.,, pub fishers, Garden City. N. Y.
 The children called him Pierrot-no name for a dog, perhaps!-but he was so clumsy and droll as a puppy, so clown like. that they named him to suit. He lived at the little dairy farm six miles out of Brussels on the Waterloo road, 1 just beyond the Forest of Soignies. He was one of the famous chiens de trait the big Belgian cart-dogs that every traveller has seen. Each morning he pulled the little wagon of shining milk cans into Brussels, and back at night. Td Prre Jean and Mere Marie, he was al- most as dear as another child. Then came August 1914 and the great war. Pierrot was communicated by the Belgian army to help defend his country. Hoy he was taught to help draw ma. chine gum how he fought, was wounded. and escaped; how he returned to thoee who loved him to comfort them in their misery-this Is the little story that Mir. Dyer tells

 Bismarck all dthe F'ranco-P Prussan war, by which he welded the German empire ] ahd determined German policy, is It's theme. The hero is a young Irish war correspondent who accompanies the Ger being retought today
 The author tells in ''The Man of Iron" a etoly of individual men and women, a story that is propelled by deep love, strong hate, and the other genuine emotions. But towering in the background are great figures of history, the haiowy move ments of armies, the spirit of an epoch. And in the foreground are scattered de- tails marvellous in their life-lke regen- eration of an age. characters of sma Il comedy that magically give us the sense of real humanity.
 ''The Man of Iron is laid in the period before and during the Franco Prussian war-of 1s1o-a period that has vastly more intrinsic interest to American readers than the scenes of either Between Two Thieves or "One Braver Thing" Bis n'arck. the man who spent lifetime of preparation and finally plunged ruthlessly into war in order to cement the Ger man empire, is the domins ting figure. The hero is P. C, Breagh. young Irish war correspondent hot-he1dcd. pucky, proud, resourceful. The heroine IS a highly-strnng French girl, daughter of an army officer, who under the press of circumstances finds herself at the front Here is wealth of material for char acter, Tlot and situation, and Richard pcfan makes full use of it in her dra- natic story.

WHEN. A MAN COMES TO HIMSELF .' By Woodrow Wilson, Ph. D. Lit, b.
 LID, President of the United States.
 Harper Bi iothers, publishers, New York
 In a tiny little volume entitled, "When A Man Comes to 1Iimself,' Woodrow Wilson. President of the United States. presents most readable and instructive essay.
 suggestion that 'the distinguished author voices his belief that every man. like kiplings ship, finds himself some day, gives an insight into the meaning of the book.
 Quoting Mir. Wilson's words. the follow Ing is the introductory sentence:
 Tt is very wholesome and regenerat- ing change which a man undergoes when he comes to himself.' It is not only after periods of recklessness or infatuation, when he has played the spendthrift or the fool, that a man comes to himself. He comes to himself after experiences of which he alone is aware; when he has left off being wholly preoccurled with his own powers, and interests and with every petty plan that centers in himself i: when he has cleared his eyes to see the H"ilu as IL is' anu HIS own true place and function in it. ft is a process of disil- lusi, nment The scales have fallen away. He seems himself soberly. and knows under what conditions his powers must act as well what his powers are.'' Thus does the President the man who has risen to the highest office within the gift of the Ieople of the United States, express himself.
 The book is interesting. well written and logical and would be an addition to any library.

 One of the most important of all juveniles for this year, indeed one of
 the most important juveniles ever pub lished Is now presented to the public
 for perusal
 It is The Forest Ring by William c DeMille the well known dramatis',
 author of "Strongheart," who has
 taken pleasure in here expressing all the golden age fantasy which would
 be more or less out of place in his
 plays of modern life.
 There is a lesson in the book--the e lesson that beasts have their affec- tions quite as much as humans-bIst
 that is entirely subordinate to the gossamer delicacy, the enchanted wor-
 der of the forest, the humor of the lit tie people which he has here eX- pressed.
 If you do not know the work or Mir. Harold Sichel the American illus trator. you will be interested to nee the Rackhamesque color pictures and black and white drawings with which fe has profusely illustrated "The For est Ring"
 The story is really beautiful one that all children will enjoy. The magic
 cf mystical lore clings in forest aisies and that ma gic the well known dra- ss,
 the tale of human children who found the fairies and learned the ways of the wild beasts. Humor, drama, gay fantasy, Illusion.
 William C. DeMille has one of the most thoroughly established reputa- tons of American drams lists, as au- thor of "Strongheart,'' The Womaii. and other notable works and co-au- thor of "Classmates"
 He has put all his ina gination and power of construction at the service 1 of the children in The Forest Ring
