correspondence. the section on COOP
Grafton with states contemplates send
ing representatives to get in personal
touch with the work that is going Tor
ward. Already DIR. J. A. R. Scherer,
president OF Throop College. has been
through the southern states and is now
on tour of the west. BY such means
the section expects to direct the ener-
gies of the state councils, already OF
proven value so as to insure their
effective and harmonious operations in
the cause of national defense.
A recently made report of the ac-
tivities of the section on cooperation
with states, containing forty-nine com
pact pages, presents most interesting.

ton of each state council or defense
and records results of work in every
state to date. 1t incidentally men
tions that fifty-two bulletins and in
formation circulars. furnishing details
and instructions concerning as many
branches Of war work. have been sent
out from the national headquarters
A majority OF the states that have re-
ported the full list of their committees
have military committees OF some sort In
several states there are two or more COM
mittees dealing with this phahe of work
Massa chusetts. for example, has the fol-
lowing committees with military func-
tons: Recruiting. naval forces. land

reports military census and pre-
paredness committee, and In Maine there
is preparedness committee both on
naval and military forces.
New York. also. is strong on military
preparedness. Previous to the war both
New York and Massachusetts, had we'll
organized nautical schools and nautical

between the ages of sixteen and twenty
years and give them a complete course
In the various subjects relating to the
navigation of merchant ship. The boys.
on graduation, are able to qualify as mas

schools will be of great service in pro-
viding men for the increased merchant

all communications on inventions and
engineering ideas are referred to the
committee, which then selects the In

In Wisconsin a statute has been
enacted providing for Civilian enlist
ment." Under this statute any person
disqualified or exempt from military
service is entitled to enlist In the
Civilian reserve" The members of this
are enrolled with the state council of
defense and are given an official in
sigma which may be worn only by
members of the reserve. A somewhat
similar plan Is being carried on In
Colorado, though without statutory
authority.
In practically every state valuable

the author has made one man repre-
sent thousand, or more, in the sin
cerity OF his human qualities, in his
conduct under the awful strain of bat
tie and campaign. in the fidelity and
litel:heness OF the innumerable Incl
dents Of which he is a conspicuous part
in this sense. these are truer even
than the single documented case can
be. These warfront tales swing almost
around the circle. Only the story of
the italian fighting man is missing. We
want that one. too. We have here THE

sey Of Three Slavs." The Man From
America" 1.-The Prussian'' and IAN
Englishman." And each of these Is not
only man in and of himself. but he is.
moreover, the particular kind of man
that his racial and national proposes
sions require him to be. Splendid
stories all of them. Together they max
a SURPRISING picture of some of the
personal aspects of the great war. Mr..
Brooks was once war correspondent.
Then he became an American ambu-
lance driver. Now he Is an officer in
the French artillery. So. you see. he
knows his war. Moreover, he can write
and he catches the awful drama of war
In small concrete personal views, some
of which have gone into these surpass-
ing short stories.
WHY ITALY ENTERED INTO THE
GREAT WAR. BY Luigi Carnovale,
author Of Journalism of the Italian
Emigrants in America" etc. Chi
cago: Italian-American Publishing &
Company.
This book is designed for the use
both of Americans and of Italians in
America. Its first printing is in Eng
lish. the second in Italian. These two
books in one make a formidable VOL
ume of more than 900 pages. The Eng
lish reader will find the 800 pages ad-
dressed to him full of interesting in
formation. as it is filed, also, with a
fervid spirit of sympathy and support
for the cause Of Italy in the present
war. The book sums to a defense and
a glorifcation of Italy in the course
that it is pursuing. 1t comes by way
Of answer to certain questions as to
1talys rejection Of the triple alliance
and its subsequent entrance into the
war as one Of the allies.
This answer Is full and emphatic.
1t is even exultant. The writer goes
back into relatively recent history for
the case of Italy against Austria
for the military violence of the latter
against the former. for the dismem-
bering and repartitioning of Italy, for
the sum of racial outrages which con-
tributed, finally, toward reaction that
created a spirit of Italian nationalism.
resulting at last in a reunited country
a national italy. Here the writer goes
back to more ancient day in order
to come forward again with an argu-
ment in support of italian irredentism
and from this point he moves swiftly
to Italy's part in the present strug-
gle. It is a brilliant exposition-argu-
ment. description. persuasion-wfth the
fires of it's own italian spirit SHIN
