Cecil Blake, from Southern
Part Of State, Bids d Fair 10
Rival GREASY" Neale.

1t appears from all the advance dope
obtainable that Wesleyan college se-
cured in young Cecil Blake another
man who bids fair to rival the famous
Greasy" Neale SO far as feats on
the athletic field are concerned.
Greasy" in reality put Wesleyan on
the map" in athletics. and while he
has had his last year at the Methodist
school those familiar with the new
material at Wesleyap say that Blake
will make the fans forget Seale on
account of his wonderful speed.
In Miller, Morrison, Heavier. Sing
Teton and others Wesleyan has a
bunch Of speeders that ran away
with the honors in the dasAes here
in the state track meet, but Blake
has been leading the way in easy
fashion for these men and If these
Ireports are true ali Wesleyan's oppon-
ents will need to be wary Of the
youngster this fall in the gridiron
contests.
| Blake went to Wesleyan from
Greenbrier Presby terial school, where
he took part in all four branches OF
athletics and was easily the leader in
every one. He Is a crack fielder in
baseball, playing at second base. and
hits the bali around sufficiently to
lead the team in hitting. He plays
forward at Basketball; CLEANED up on
every runner In the southern section
of the state in the open field meet at
Ronceverte in the dashes, and played
a highly sensational game at half
back at football. Hlake weighs l6O
pounds, is stocklly built, and gets
over the ground with All the ease OF
an experienced runner. What he will
do for the Methodtsts remains to be
seen, hut SO tar he appears to be a

LANDMARKS. BY z. V. Lucas. l2mo. pp.
3oS. Macmillan Co.
Mr. Lucas regrets in his introduction
that he has not called this story IN
cidents" instead, and one agrees with
him, for, as he justly observes, many
incidents in life, especially in our
younger days, make an indelible i'm
p .ssion upon oar memory, although
they IN no way have the Importance OF
landmarks in our later career. Thus
il IS with his hero. Rudd Sergison.
There are landmarks, Of course. His
arst published poem, for instance ne
gives up the study Of medicine; and
his meeting with the right girl, his first
novel, and his marriage. with wnIch the
landmarks end for the present; but it IS
otter all The incidents that entertain us
most. There is the wicked boy Of Rudd's
childhood, who was cripple and used
d crutch: "Rudd was not only in his
person miserably afraid of him, but his
little soul was disturbed too; ne had
the feeling that IL was doubly wrong
4, q lame boy 90 be wicked. Il was
long indeed before he lost this idea,
and longer still before he ceased 70 be-
!ieve that the blind were pre-eminently
set apart for virtue" Then there is
that incident Of his boyhood. when
his father ran for Parliament-we mean
stood. for this is an English story, of
course. Rudd was as embarrassed by
the unmerited eulogies heaped upon MS
parent by the speakers Of his own
party as he was exasperated by the
SANDERS flung at him by the opposi-
ton There was the girl who was going
70 be an actress, and who therefore was
g. crested only in herself. and the
other girl who preferred the company
Of men-too many men. And then
there was Rudd's fathers old friend,
who was so sympathetic and encourag-
ing. and so kind 70 his invalid wife,
but who wanted to kiss chambermald
70 Rudd's youthful bewilderment. As
we have just said, the incidents arc
more amusing than the landmarks put
both together fail to present Mr.. Lucas
at his best-the best Of cover Beming-
toms" for instance.

publishers assure us that they are au-
thorities on their chosen subjects. The
book - not neutral, but admiration Of
what Germany has achieved in the arts
of peace balances more or less evenly
condemnation of her militarism, which,
sober second thought suggests, differs
from Russian militarism al least only
in its greater efficiency. The question
whether William was responsible Tor
the war or was forced into It j. one
not to be decided upon the evidence
now at hand; the rejoicing over the
Triple Entente was not altogether pa
cifc at the time Of its conclusion.
This book contains chapters on the
German army and navy and on the
empires diplomacy and politics, the re-
lations between the Emperor and the
Reichstag and the Socialists, but also
fair and thorough accounts of the
marvellous growth of German COM
merce and industry. The chapter on
"Kultur" relies little too much upon
the late Price Collier. And there is
p collection of the Kaiser's own say
ings.
