BOOK REVIEWS

Is especially interesting from
standpoint OF human Interest and
description OF character.
Tales OF the Blackfeet Indians are
given TO us In the simplest language
by Mr. Schultz, IN a book richly IL
Illustrated with beautiful pictures OF
Glacier National Park. where the
Blackfeets still live. OF all the In
dian tribes this Is probably the most
gentle and lovable. Many stories
have been told OF their kindness and
goodness OF heart A number OF
white men have, from time to time,
joined this tribe and become one OF
them, taking Indian wives. The tales
and legends in this book in connec-
ton with the pictures OF The lovely
lakes, waterfalls ard lofty mountains
make n an interesting and attractive
volume worthy OF a better cover.

then went to college feeling the
need of an education. he says. more

BRITISH PUT CURB
0N|R|SH QUESTION
Commons Decides Discussion
of Controversy Is Undesirable
at Present Juncture.
NOT TO USE CONSUMPTION

LONDON. October 19-Parliament
after a set debate in the house of COM
mons decided by majority of 1877 that
it was undesirable at present to discuss
Irish controversial domestic politics.
The Irish question was brought up
by John Redmond, the nationalist
leader, who introduced motion to the
effect that 1.-The system of government
at present maintained in Ireland is in
consistent with the principle for which
the allies are fighting in Europe. and
is, or has been. mainly responsible for
the recent unhappy events and for the
present state of feeling in that coun-
try"
An amendment to this motion, intro
duced by John F. d. Rawlinson. repre-
senting Cambridge University. declared
that at is not desirable at the present
time to discuss controversial matters
of domestic politics.. This amendment
was adopted by a vote of 500 to log,
thus eliminating the Redmond motion.
Debate on High Level.
The debate reached a high level.
notably the speech of Mr.. Redmond at
lacking the government administra-
to questions of recruiting and the treat
ment of rebel prisoners. and that of
David Lloyd George, secretary for war,
who made a conciliatory speech which
did much to remove the adverse i'm
preston created in the nationalist
ranks by the speeches of Premier AS
auth and the chief secretary of Ire
land, Henry Edward Duke
The remarks of the premier and the
Irish secretary indicated that there was
no present intention of the government to
change its policy toward Ireland, Wnlcn
proved very disappointing to the irish
party. This disappointment was voiced
by Joseph Devlin and John Dillon. The
latter declared that the speeches of Mr..
Asquith and Mr. Duke would be bitterly
resented in Ireland because they gave no
promise of the repeal of martial law. he
said that the Sim Fem movement in its
early days was supported by the unionist
party because it created an efficient
weapon with which to strike at the con-
stitutional movement in Ireland.
Mr. Dillon further asserted that on
Field Marshal Lord Ktchener's instruc-
tons the commanding general in Ire
land was forbidden to speak to the ma
tionalist leaders for three months.
Consumption Not to Be Applied.
1t was made evident by the debate that
the government has no intention OF ap-
plying CONSUMPTION to Ireland. On the
contrary, Mr.. Lloyd George, while ad-
hitting that Irish enthusiasm at the be-
ginning of the war had been stupidity
mishandled. made fervent appeal to all
parties to help Mr.. Redmond revive that
lost enthusia SIN and thus stimulate re-
cruiting in Ireland.
A striking interlude Premier AS
quiths acceptance of Timothy Healy's
challenge to send the American ambassa-
dor to investigate the treatment of the
Irish rebel prisoners.
At the close of the debate the home
secretary, Herbert l.. Samuel, denied that
there had been any III treatment and
declared that the prisoners had been
treated more leniently than any political
prisoners had ever been treated before.

ALLY VICTORY
ON FRONT IN FRANCE
Brig. Gen. Marchand Says War Can
Be Decided When Final Blow
Is Struck.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, from staff correspondent of
the Associated Press, via Paris, October
Brig. Gen. Marchand today expressed to
the Associated Press his opinion that the
war would be decided on the western
front whenever the entente allies saw fit
to strike the final blow. The general
said the decision must be fought out on
this side sooner OF later, and that while
he was not prophet and could not
see into the future, the allies certainly
had the upper hand now and would not
get out of touch with the Germans who,
judging from their movements, are wor-
ried.
Gen. Marchand long ago, as he himself
puts it, had the honor of being little
adversary of the late Earl Kitchener in
Africa, but afterward became one of
ktcheners greatest admirers. He spoke
of Earl kitchener's organizing skill with
admiration. and when the field marshars
Commands Daring Troops.
At present Gen. Marchand has under
his orders division composed of some
of the most daring troops in the French
army Since he recovered from his
wound he and his men have achieved
high distinction on various sections of
the front. Their only desire is to be
used even more than they are Gen.
Marchand says he has a difficult task
to keep his men back.
Many of the men fought with Gen.
Marchand in Africa, when, as he told
the correspondent, victory in a fight
meant an advance of at least a thou
sand kilometers, whereas in the pres
emit war an advance of perhaps a cou-
pie of miles meant a great victory.
Said Gen. Marchand today, in speaking
of his men:
I'VE are obliged to restrain our men,
so as to keep in line with the rest Of
the army at the front Any section Of
the army could make a dash in advance
| almost any time, but that would spoil
our general PLAN"
Advantage in Lower Trenches.
Asked what was the principal lesson
learned in this war, Gen. Marchand re-
piled:
Formerly an army which occupied
the heights was supposed to have the
advantage. We have learned from the
experience of trench war that the force
down below has the upper hand. sinc>
it can shell the enemy out of his
trenches above, while the opposing ar
tillery can with difficulty lombard
trenches below it..

South Dakota are the only other cruisers
bearing state names. and those probably
will be changed when the battleships
authorized under the three-year program
are ready for construction.
The twenty destroyers to be built I'M
der the program will be named after dis
tinguished naval officers. and it is prob
able that the battle cruisers, the first
four of which are to be laid down next
year, will be named after historic ships
of the navy. Such names as Constitu-
