The sound of Water.

One doesn't remember ever to have
read anything quite like Margarita
Spalding Gerry's new story, The Sound
OF Water recently published by the
rate detective story, its background of
New England scene, character. and
manners, and its deep undercurrent OF
poetry. The story is one Of mystery.
with a thrill of gruesomeness in it. but
the mystery dissolves into pleasant
ness. and out Of the gruesomeness hu-
man nature rises strong and whole
some.
OF course no one could live in a New
England coast village like Bidwell
after the fashion chosen by Mr..
Rogers" without exciting dislike and
suspicion. Mr.. Rogers with his wife
lived in great house in lonely place
and seemed to shrink from associations
with his kind. Why should any man
price for his lobster-poun in order to
secure peace and quiet when peace and
quiet were notOriously cheap commodi-
ties in Bidwell? And why should any
BidweIl all winter. anyhow? Besides
all the rest, Mr.. Rogers, apparently in
a fit of ill-temper. had dismissed all
his servants. At last Jim Cole, who
had rOwed over to the house by the
lobster-pound to deliver some meat.
came back with a story that caused
real excitement. Rogers had shown
great perturbation; he had said that
his wife had gone away on the boat
that night, which was for several rea-
sons plainly impossible. Moreover,
Cole, prying into an outbuilding, had
picked up a jeweled buckle from a
woman's shoe. and by the light of a
match had seen what looked like blood
stains on the floor. As a further
damning circumstance ii was learned
that a woman had arrived in boat at
Rogers house on the night of the sup
posed murder.
This singular situation forms the
basis of a story in subtle interpreta-
tions of human nature and in the finer
kind of feeling. Nothing could be more
delicious than the tale of how Bill
Cross-gallant retired sea captain, with
the love of adventure in his blood, and
present sheriff of Bidwell-eluded his
wife and went to Europe in search of

Chinese Mentality.

Rome. Jan. 6 Cby mail to New York to
escape censorship).-I military and
naval preparations for war are complete.
They have cost a round billion of dol
lars, enormous difficulties have been
overcome, but Italy is at last prepared.
Here is Italy's military strength:
First and second line troops, 100000.
Reserves, 100000.
The first and second line troops are
men between the ages of twenty ana
twenty-nine; the reserves are men be-
tween thirty and thirty-nine.
The navy already is modified. under
command of the Duke of Abruzzi Two
more Dreadnoughts will be commissioned
in February. They will increase the
fighting power of the italian navy tre-
mendously.
Italy has LOOO.OOOOOO francs in her war
chests, 100000 tons Of wheat stored
away for future use. and her policy OF
watchfuI, armed neutrality now has en-
tered its decisive phase. Every italian
in touch with official affairs is confident
that IL this country enters the war she
will be able to strike a tremendous blow
at Germany and Austria.
Was short of Arms.
The outbreak of the war in Europe
found Italy in all the straits of disor-
venture. she was short of ammunition.
arms, shoes. and uniforms
The first task was the restocking OF
the army shoe depOts. II was estimated
that 100000 pairs would be necessary.
Because the Italian factories cannot put
out more than 100000 pairs a month. the
war ministry turned to America, with the
result that within two months from the
time the order was given 100000 pairs
Next came the supplying OF the new
light field pieces of the Deport type
Luckily. the government several months
before had placed an order for 100 bat
teries. BY appealing TO the manufactur-
ers' patriotism the government got the
gunmakers to finish these batteries far
within the years limit. set by the con-
tracts.
Trained to New Guns.
The last four batteries were delivered
on the day after Christmas and now
twenty-four regiments are armed with
the new gun.
On December 90 all the artillery reserves
were recalled to the colors for a month
to become acquainted with the operation
Of the new gun.
In the meantime every other branch
of the army was being perfected. The
scarcity of infantry officers was remedied
by permitting so-called complement Of
fCers to enter the permanent service
while an appeal to the society Of civil
engineers of Italy brought 1000 more Of
ncers for the artillery and engineering
arms. The medical faculties of the Ital- |
ian universities and schools have fur
nished 1000 nurses and medical assistants. |
Seven thousand women between the |
ages Of twenty-five and forty-two have |
volunteered to serve as nurses.
Italy is ready.
