 Bravery of the Belgians.
 Those who are fighting for the liberty of the Belgian flag are brave men. Those interned in Holland and in Germany and who raise their fe.- tered hands to Heaven on behalf of their country. are brave men. Our exiled compatriots who bear in silence the weight of their isolation serve their Belgian Fatherland to the best of their ability, as do also all those souls who either behind cloister walls or in the retirement of their own homes pray, toll, and weep, awaiting the return of their absent ones and of our common deliverance.
 we have listened to the mighty voices of wives and mothers; through their tears they have prayed God to sustain their courage and fidelity to the honor of their husbands and sons carried off by force to the, enemy's factories. These gallant men have been heard at the hour of departure rallying their energy to instil1 courage into their comrades, or, by a supreme effort, to chant the national hymn. We have seen some of t1rem on their return-pale, haggard. humAn wrecks; as our fearful eyes sought their dim eyes, we bowed reverently before them, for all unconsciously they were revealing to us a new and unexpected aspect of national heroism.

CARDINAL MERGER
 STILL UNSILENCED
Praises Belgians for Courage in
 Lenten Pastoral Letter

London, March 19.-A glowing tri- bute to the courage and devotion of the Belgian people in their fight for liberty is paid by Cardinal Mercier, the primate of Belgium, in his Lenten pastoral letter, which has been placed at the disposal of the Associated Press. Under the heading "The Moral Gran deur of the Nation,' Cardinal Mer- cier says:
 My beloved brethren, is it indeed necessary to preach courage to you And when I say you am thinking more Immediately of the faithful com panions of our misfortunes, but my thoughts go out also beyond our oc- cupied provinces to our refugees, our prisoners, our deported fellow-coun- trymen, and our soldiers.
 Brethren of our armies of Liege, Haelen, Antwerp, the Yser. and Ypres, the Kameruns and East Africa, it is you who are our foremost purveyors of energy. On August 2, 1914, you sprang up from the bosoms of all the families of our national aristocracy, with splendid ardor attest!ng to the world at large that nobility has pre- served it's traditional significance in Belgium; the middle classes, the bull warks of the nation, ranged them selves beside you. * The working classes, too, furnished their contin- gent of voluntary recruits, who were all the more praise-worthy since their departure made a painful void in the home; military chaplains and stretch er-bearers have gladly offered and lavished their devotion; the govern ment, after two years and six months NF S$nH S,1 Ia

route map. svo. pp. 3l2. Charles scribner's
Sons.
Things are happening so tremendous
~ in Russia at the present time that
all trustworthy information concerning
that country and its people is to be
welcomed. II Is particularly welcome
when, like the present, it is given at
first hand, by an intelligent and sym
pathetic observer. Mr.. Coxwell trav-
elled through most Of Russia, from Fin
land TO the Caucasus, and from the Vol
ga and the Caspian to the Baltic and
the Bothnian Gulf. On his itinerary
he visited and gave attention to the
places of greatest significance in the
present complications Of Russian af-
fairs, and the result Of his observa-
tions is a volume of much interest for
sheer entertainment and Of still greater
value for information.
The world outside of Russia too
greatly fails 10 understand the COM
posite and complex character Of that
empire, in races, languages, creeds and
customs; yet an understanding thereof
is quite essential to an appreciation of
the present status of Russia in both
domestic and foreign affairs. Mr.. Cox
well gives in this handsome volume
much aid toward the attainment of such
understanding.

Here is another gratifying reminder
Of the inestimsble wealth OF literary
material which is contained in the his
torical books Of the Old Testament. We
do not mean merely topics for so-called
"Hible stories" which are as the sands
of the sea for number, and generaHy
arc as the waters Of stagnant ditcnes
for mawkish unproftableness. Neither
do we mean extravagant fictions, wnicn
distort and pervert both the facts ana
the spirit of the original. But we mean
works of intellectual and literary com
netence. in which some noteworthy
Massage is interpreted, enlarged and de-
veloped from a chapter into volume;
with a reverent loyalty to facts ana
.nirit-such a work, in brief, as this,
Mr. Hudson has selected for MS
theme the story Of David's fight from
The court of Saul, his exile and out
Iawrv and his return after the death
~ Saul: one Of the most dramatic, 70,
mantle and picturesque passages IN Oio
Testament history. He has carefully
and most successfully avoided any imi-
tation of Biblical style in speech,
though he has adhered with notable
fdelity to the facts of the narrative.
He has invested the men and women
Of that time and their deeds with tne
vital interest of to-day, and has made
us feel that in their loves and mates,
their fightings and fears and triumphs,
the Israelites, Amalekites, Philistines
and Tyrians were, after all, men ana
women "of like passions with our,
selves" No intelligent person can read
the book without gaining a clearer un-
Outstanding of those times and deeper
appreciation of the value of the Script
ures as a storehouse Of historic lore;
and without being charmed with the
vital human interest of the tale. we
could wish that competent "riteIs
would enrich the world with a whole
library of such works, drawn from the

Company.
Probably not more than 5 per cent
Of the people Of the United States
have even an approximately adequate
appreciation of the number the extent,
the character, the beauty, the splendor
in word, the preciousness-vof our
national parks. The fortunate 5 per
cent will welcome this book, as all
right-thinking folks welcome addition
al or even simply reduplicated intor-
nation about things with which they
are already familiar. AS for the 30,
they should welcome it with avidity, as
bringing to them q revelation of CRATE
fulness and JOY.
1t was a noble policy on the part of
our government to set apart so many
of the wonderlands Of this continent
as the pleasure.-grounds and nature
sanctuaries Of the nation. 1t will be
a noble thing for it and for the people
themselves scrupulously and perpetu-
ally to guard those parks against un-
fit invasion and despoilment. Upon
more than one of them vicious at
tempts have been made. This inform
ing volume ought to strengthen their
defence to an impregnable degree. Ii
certainly will give the average reader
information which will be a revela-
ton to him; and if it moves him to
visit any of the parks to see them for
himself. it will also serve him as an
authoritative guidebook, telling him
how to get there and what to see.

Lieutenant Schaefer accepts the ar

ink upon them. Blood and iron, in the
words of a former and greater Prus-

We have in this book, therefore, con-
sideration of the military situation in
almost every conceivable aspect The
question of preparedness versus pa

jects of military training, and of the
voluntary system and the system of
universal service under CONSUMPTION
are carefully considered. Then there
are many chapters on the various
phases and departments of the Ameri

various methods of waging war which
are now in vogue, terrestrial, celestial
and aquatic.
All this is given with fine simplicity

Hashimura Togo probably gave TO
many of his readers the notion that his
creator was simply rollicking fun
maker. which was an error and pity.
Mr.. Irwin can compress about as much
humor into the square inch OF copy as
orally iniects into it some serious
thought, and not infrequently touch
of real pathos. In the present, vol
ume he appears at his best. These
eight short stories. Romantic Excur-
sions" he calls them, contain, much
spontaneous and irresistible humor'
But they are also instinct win tnougn..
f,lness sentiment and dramatic power;
and they are told with a skill Of lit
erary craftsmanship which it would be
difficult to find surpassed in contem-
porary fiction.
