Passionate Crime remain a mystery until the last chapter is reached.
 Mir. Thurston has used a very clear device to bring the reader into mood suitable to the strange tale he wishes to unfold. to give something of the spirit and color and atmosphere of it all before the actual narrative com mences. He begins with an English traveler-one MT. Thurston who has read with delight the small, forgotten book in which the collected poems of Anthony Sorel, and then been amazed to learn that this writer whose work was full of "a strange gentleness that almost seemed as if it were not of this world at all," had committed no less crime than murder and murder of woman at that. The story was lost; only the fact, the bare, apparent ineX- plicable fact remained. And so he went into the Irish mountains where for two years Anthony Sore1 had dwelt in z. solitary cabin and where the deed hac been done, seeking those who might be able to remember Anthony Sorel and to tell him the truth But only one man knew the truth-old Malachi; who in the cities would have been deemed mad, but up in the lonely mountains was understood to possess "a queer kind of wisdom" knowing things fit 'ud seem strange for any mortal man to get hold of" and it was long before Malachi could be induced to reveal that which for many years he had held sacred.
 The story is mystical to a degree graceful-delicate1y limned as only such story could be.

 My Lady's Dress" the charming play by Edward Knoblauch, which is the mith in "The Drama League Series of Plays" is 8 very charming, fascinating story.
 It is a dream play. built around the tragedy and comedy that go into the making of a womans gown.
 It is series of separate little epi- sodes, each complete in itself some- times tragic and sometimes humorous, always delightfully."- imaginative and picturesque and expressing throughout. The imaginative quality of the work is indeed uncommonly fine. It is more over, an absorbingly interesting play, which holds the interest unremittingly through it's variety and the constant change of background and character" OTHER BOOKS RECEIVED (REvIEWS S

EMPEROR CHARLES

Report Says New Austrian Ruler Is Real Instigat0r of Notes to Allied

Paris, December 16.-Emperor Charles of Austria-Hungary is credited with hav- ing taken the initiative in the peace move ny the coalition of the central powers. according to the Berne correspondent of La Liberte on the strength of informa- tion obtained from political circles in touch with officials of the central pow CTS. The new Emperor. it Is said. de- sired to inaugurate his reign by an ef- fort in favor of peace.
 This worried the Berlin government which feared the young monarch might prove an uncertain ally.
 The visit of Emperor William of Ger many to Vienna, it is declared, was not to attend the funeral of the late Empe- TOT. but was for the purpose of having a personal interview with Emperor Charles. The interview could not be held on the day of the funeral but at the second conference, at which King Ferdi- hand of Bulgaria also was present Elm peror Charles is supposed to have con sented to postponement of the offer Of peace until after the capture of Bucha- rest

HAD VISION OF PEACE

New York, December 16-The last pulp lie message of Professor Munsterberg, who died suddenly today in his class room in Cambridge, Mass, contains vision of peace and good will and in 1t the writer indicated that he believed such n peace was near. The message was sent to a weekly magazine and made public today upon receipt of the news of his death.
 After the war. the message says, NO trace will remain; those who hated most hotly will forget most quickly. Men will look one another in the face with aston ishment; the spell will be broken. They simply will not believe that they could misjudge and maltreat their friends so grossly. The subtle power of our mind to forget will become mankind's bless ings. As soon as peace is secured we shall keep the peace, not only by the harsh method Of enforcing It. but by the hundred times better method of making it natural. And It can become natural because all the scorn of today will fall ohf like the scab of healing wound. Unless all psychological signs deceive us, after this war ends peace will really be lasting and l feel sure the end of the war is near, the world Christmas tree will be glistening tomorrow. the fragrance of it's candles already pervades the world"

 Sympathies

Cambridge, Mass, December 16. Hugo Munsterberg, distinguished psy chologist. author and professor of psychology and director of the pcycho- logical laboratory of Harvard uniyer- sity, died suddenly in classroom at Radcliffe college today.
 Professor Munsterberg had begun a lecture on elementary psychology be- fore 50 young women. He had talked for about half an hour when he stretched his hand toward the desk as though to steady himself
 Before anyone could reach him he had fallen and was unconscious when pr. Harcfd Eburtt. an instructor, sprang to his side. Death came in 20 min utes.
 Professor Munsterberg had appeared to be in his usual health and last Monday night delivered an address on the Psychology of Business"
 We'll known in psychological circles for many years, Professor Munster berg became prominent publicly soon dltcI the great war peSdl. "A ICl- man by birth. he presented in ad- dresses and written articles the atti- tude of the Teutonic allies as he un- derstood it. Gradually he came to be regarded as a spokesman in New Eng land for many Germans and others who favored Germany. As 8 result he was brought into controversies with other members of the Harvard fac ulty who were outspoken in the de- fense of the allies.
 Professor Munsterberg leaves a widow and a daughter.
 The funeral will be held at the fam fly residence Monday afternoon.
 Rev. Adolph A. Berle, close friend of Professor Munsterberg, will offi ciate at the services. which will be in the German language. Prof George F. Moore of Harvard will deliver eulogy.
 MT. Berle said the body would be cremated in accordance with the wish of Professor Munsterberg, and that eventually the ashes would be shipped to Germany

Infantry fighting was re- sumed today on the east bank of the Mouse, in the Verdun sector. Which of the comhat- ants assumed the offensive IS not specified by tue German war office statement that tells of the renewal of the fighting. During the previous night the German troops had undertaken no counter attack to reglin the ground they lost as the result of the stroke inflicted by the French Friday. Details con- corning the French drive indi- cate the capture of 5000 Ger mans and about 50 guns. Four French divisions participated in the attack and the French war office intimates that they were opposed by five German divisions.
 The Teutonic armies in Rumania continue to gain ground. A statement bv the German war office that the Buzeu river sector has been forced may mean that the Teutonic troops actually have crossed that river, along the line of which it had been expected the Rumanians would make their next stand.
 BATTLE NEAR TYRES
 After an intense artillery duel in the vicinity of Ypres and wytschaete, Ger man troops delivered an assault south east of zillebeke, penetrating the second British line.

London, December 16.--The foreign office announced before closing today that it had not yet received the peace note and the prominent officials dis claimed knowledge of it's contents be- yond what the newspapers had pub lished
 The French victory at Verdun is ac- claimed by all the London papers as the French reply to the German Em- peror's speech to his troops in Alsace and Chancellor Won Bethmann- Holl- wegs claim of the invincibility of Ger man arms.
 The considered opinions on the Brit ish press. as reflected in the latest editorials. are almost unanimous that Great Britain cannot ignore the over lures and that the least the govern ment can do is to make a statement on the allies aims and objects or ask for the presentation of the German terms.
