THE WORLD IN THE CRUCIBLE. IAN ACCOUNT OF THE ORIGIN AN

CONDUCT OF THE GREAT WARD
 By Sir Gilbert Parker. Dodd. Mead
 & Co.,, Publishers, New York.
 While most English authors have rushed violently into print on the subject of the war and have expressed their opinions at white heat Sir Gilbert Parker has taken due time to write book which will be more than an ephemeral expression of opinion. It states in compact but com plete manner the many causes of the war. Besides the political interests involved, which are set forth fully and definitely, so that those who run may read, a special study is made of the development of Ger manys war policy and aims during the last 40 years, and particularly since the present Kaiser came to the throne. It Is written in Sir Gilbert Parker's usual bril- liant and fluent style.

FAIRBANKS MARRIAGES. :


 By Maude Radford Warren. Harper
 Brothers, publishers. New York
 In her new novel. ..Barbara's Mar riages," Maude Radford Warren has traced with clear-sighted sympathy the experiences with love and the develop ment in character of singularly inno- cent and interesting woman. Barbara Langworthy. a sensitive. joy-loving southern girl. is married at very early age to a man much her elder Her par ents are dead. and her brother. with whom she lives. has married a woman older than he, whose money alone has enabled him to keep possession of the old family home. Anita Langworthy. narrow and embittered, feeling hope lessly that her husbands heart has never been truly hers, and miserably jealous of his affection for Barbara, makes the girls life intolerable Bar bara marries as a means of escape without in the least knowing the mean- ing of love or marriage. Her chivalrous bridegroom, seeing her evident shrink ing, allows her to bring her brother with her on the wedding trip. Then on the day after the marriage there Is an automobile accident in which both Bar baras husband and her brother are killed. Anita, transformed by the shock into a peevish invalid holds Barbama responsible for the accident--as 1t seems to the grief-tricken young widow that she really is-and as reparation claims her service as nurse and companion.
 From the slavery of her life with Anita, Barbara is at length rescued through the intervention of two men Stephen Thornton hard working young lawyer of good family, and John Hare, now highly successful physician in California, but formerly looked down upon in his birthplace because of his "poor white" origin-a fact that has profoundly influenced his character. At Hares suggestion and through his plan ming Barbara spends delightful sum mer in camp at Lake Taho in the Slerras, where Hare makes vigorous love to her and wins her heart But Bar bara, in her ignorance of men, does not realize how fundamental is the lack in Hare which he frankly confesses"his inability to love with complete devotion. Deceived by the mans ardor. his seem :. ing kindliness his magnetically mascu- line personality. she allows herself to be drawn into a kind of experimental love affair. The story distinguishes with delicacy and womanly insight the ele- ments that enter into the love of man and woman. Friendship, affection. ardor, chivalry-all these are clearly mirrored in Barbaras soul. At last matured but not embittered by disillusionment, she finds true love in the arms of her na- tural mate, Thornton. The emotions of the story are as distinctive as are the vividly suggested and atmospheric scense in which its events occur. In each of the experiences related there is ar individuality of thought and feeling that awakens warm personal interest.

 There are three points upon which the merits of a good detective tale rest. The background must be realistic and appro- priate. the characters must be human and sympathetic. the mystery must be of such a kind that the reader will be glued to his chair in the baffling struggle to solve the exciting entanglement ''The White Alley" has each of these features to a superlative degree. The Birches." the country place of Justin Arnold, is port sn- tous with suppressed mystery and hidden skeletons. It is indeed a ghostlandi The characters through the fun and tragedy (they should always be mixed to make a good yarn) are appealing. interesting, and to Dorothy we must add the adjective lovable. She is beauty-vivac.oNls, ilirta- tious. and altogether adorable The reader hates to think her guilty of the crime, although the evidence points strongly in her direction. Who did it? You will never know until you reach the end and therein lies the third merit of the tale. You are in a labyrinth of douht hesitancy and fear until the last incident is reached.
 Carolyn Wells deserves her high repu- tation as story teller. This is a great yarn in every sense of the word. and it will develop an even larger circle of friends for the great detective. He has always had large acquaintance, but never before has he had such a bewilder- ing knot to untangle as he had in this dire murder, and never have his deductions been more welcome to the reader. The sword of Damocles had been hanging over the head of the lovely Dorothy. Do you wonder we souirmed?
