 In Emma McChesney, Miss Ferber has not so much created a type as she has given life and vitality to Q per sonage that has really developed in American life in the last generation.
 Twenty years ago an Emma McChes- ney would have been impossible. To- day she seems to be an absolutely real woman whom we come to know as in a biography. That we also come to love and admire her may be beside the point in a literary way but as human achievement it is the crowning touch. As & business woman who has the brains and strength to reach the top.

the best organized in the world-she man.
 ufactures about S,0O0.000 shells of various
 calibres monthly--the fruits of her stu
 pendous effort in this direction are spread
 over too large a range to make them thoroughly effective. Thus France. with an ammunition output vastly less than Germany's, has been able by dint of con centrating her available supplies on front less than half as long as the com
 bined fronts of her enemy. to hold her
 own against the invading artillery.
 l Frances original supply of arms in- cluded machine guns by the thousands
 rifles and bayonets by the millions, and
 cartridges by the billions; in heavy ar 1 tillery her resources were negligible but l her main strength lay in a formidable
 array of field artillery comprising no less than 4000 75-millimetre cannon and i 5.6O0.0o0 rounds of communication shots ! for each cannon. But cannon wear out
 rapidly-the '75" is conceded in theory ! to be capable of firing not more than
 5000 full charges-and shells go quickly. What constitutes an adequate supply of | munitions for three months of open cam
 paigning such as the French general stan counted upon becomes mere drop | in the bucket fin face of a protracted
 struggle in the trenches such as this
 war has turned out to be- By the time that the French military dictators finally
 awoke to this fact the ammunition in-
 dustry of France was crippled by indis
 criminate demobiization. All the na-
 tion's best and most vigorous mechanics were drafted away from lathe and fur
 mace into the army. Instead of making
 munitions they were using them up. Whereas In Germany the Krupp factories increased their personnel from 4o,000 in
 time of peace to 1lo,oo0 as soon as war commenced, Frances principal armworlSs at Creusot saw their staff diminished | from 14,000 to 10000. following the dras-
 tic mobilization of August, 1914 Yet Cruesot was fortunate by comparison with less important, and, therefore, less | favored, establishments which lost so heavily fin workmen and skilled mechan-
 ics that they were forced to shut down completely. Three weeks after the dec laration of war Frances munition out
 put had dwindled almost to the vanish | ing point.
 1 With neither material nor .workmen available at the outset, then. France began, last September, under the direc- | ton of M. Millerand, the mobilization of I her disrupted metallurgic industries. That mobilization has been successful. Had | 1t failed the German armies would not still be occupying their line of trenches

ested in democratic and socialistic ideals, and develops moral courage in their de- fense. He becomes fast friends with a kindred but more earthly spirit named Prothero, and tests the courage of both driving a livery team when he knows nothing about horses The breakage costs
 him s25o. but he stays with the horses and subdues them, while Prothero loses his nerve. Benham has an aristocratio pride that the other lacks. Years later,
 in middle life, we see him deliberately
 spending a night unarmed in a jungle of
 India, meeting bears and tiger face to
 face. He has vanquished fear. the first
 of the great limitations to living the
 noble life.
 Already in his Cambridge days Benham
 had hitched his idea of personal nobility
 to the cause of social service. He felt that he must work out a political scheme, a theory of his work and duty in the world, "a plan of the worlds future that should give a rule for his life" He was rich-hls mother had given him an in
 come of sS0,0oo a year-and as ,he looked
 at the workmen toiling in fields and mines, he understood that they had to work harder because he was idle. But could he not use his wealth and leisure to help them and the whole world be- sides? He vowed that he would. The Re- search Magnificent was under way LuS 1dl DcAldlA Is as liHc dS AAa dream. But there are other limitations
 more difficult than fear to overcome. One of these is the impulse of sex. He finds and marries Amanda, a bright ambitious girl, and sets forth with her on his trip round the world. Before they have finished their honey
 moon weeks In Italy the young wife is tugging at him to return and make 8 ,, social conquest of London, He drags her with him, however. on through the Bal kans, until the murderous chaos in that region drives him back to civilization and to London Amanda has her way. Ben ham has to chose between her and the Research Magnificent.
 l In the heart of the Balkans the sense
 of defeat had already come to Benham when he wrote:
 There isn't religion in the whole Bal
 kan peninsula, there isn't tribal or national sentiment that deserves mo-
 ment's respect from sane man. They're like nose rings and Chinese secret so- cieties; childish things, idiot things that have to go. Yet there is no one who will pr ach the only possible peace, which is the peace of the world-state. the open conspiracy of all the sane men in the
 world against the things that break us
 up into wars and utilities. And here am
 I-who have the light-wandering! Just
 wandering!"

 the finale of the story-but suffice it to

A War of Munitions

Paul Proctor in Leslie's.
 War today is question of ammuni- ton. Once a great French patriot fired tho spirit of all France with tho words, ITO vanquish tho enemies of our native land we must have audacity, yet more audacity, and audacity foreverr Those words hold good no longer. To vsnquish the powerful enemies of France today the people of France must furnish their armies with ammunition, yet more am- munition, and ammunition forever. Cour- age, backed up by superior artillery fire, usually means victory, but courage sup ported only by bayonet stuck on the end of & musket seldom achieves any thing but heroic death.
 Germany had fully grasped this prin- cip!e long before the allies awoke to Its existence. But Germany has two im- mense battle fronts to supply. Although her ammunition industry Is undoubtedly

 The words of his father, 'Let abso- lutely nothing, not even the woman you love, come between you and your honor and duty rang in his ears and he chose his commission in the army, like the strong, loyal man that he was.
 Mrs McVoy Is to be congratulated upon her fine work in The Traitor s Son." for there is not a dull moment in the story and the public is to be congratulated in turn for having the opportunity to read so charming a book.
 THE RESEARCH MAGNIFICENT" By H. c. Wells. The Macmillan com
 pany, publishers, New York.
 One of Mir. Wells critics character izes his new novel, "The Research Magnificent" as "a summary of the life and ideas of an educated and trav- eled man who thought he had mis- sion for the betterment of man and the race"
 The volume is less novel than the biography of an idea embodied in a man. William Porphyry Benham sets out to live what he calls the noble or aristo- cratic life. and the book is made up even more largely of his abstract ideas than or what happened 10 nm because or ms beautiful obsesson. The whole Is pre- scented in the shape of biography of Benham prepared by friends from vast accumulation of notes left at his death.
 Benham's idea took hold of his ina gina tion early in his boyhood, and through out life it produced adventures. As the author says, it led him into situations that bordered upon the fantastic, it made him ridiculous, it came near making him sublime. It was passion for cour- age. for personal nobility. for service for self-sacrificing kingship of spirit ap- piled to the social betterment of the whole world.

polar bear gentleman.

Uncle Wiggily thought for minute
Then he said:
Never mind Mr.. Whitewash. 1t was
not your fault, and. anyhow. I guess
the new chair squeaked worse than my
old one did. I'll buy a new one at the
