"DandeliOnS,s

"DandeliOnS" is an unusual book
by an unsual man. 1t is a first book
also. Its author is Coulson E. Cade,
an Englishman. Let an English critic
describe the volume:
From the piquanitly curt title and
the clever wrapper to the closing
sentence there is something fresh and
new about this novel 1t has sophist-
Gated naievete about it, if such a
quality exists. The air of it is full
of meadow sweet and yet there is a
hint of musk. 1t tells naively what
"Ibsen's Ghosts" told grewsomely.
There are two baronets concerned, the
father. then the son. Each has the
joy Of life and tastes its joys as gaily
as bee sips from a foxglove One
character alone would make the book
significant apart from the charming
style. This is the valet, Brains.
He is a hero to his master and no
wonder. We shall hear more of
Coulson Cade."

Rives) has written vivid drama of
the new south, story of conflicting
personalities in story charged with
excitement. Sewer, a brilliant young
lawyer, loses a case. Only one in the
crowded court room realizes that in
temperance has caused his failure.
Cameron Craig, the head of the liquor
trust, who is determined to win Echo
Allen, the daughter of a prominent
jurist, from Sewer and to obtain a
decision from her father in favor of
the trust. To force the issue Craig
threatens to punish an old scandal in
the Allen family. At midnight |

is shot by house-breaker. Echo is
rushed from the scene by a masked
man whom she thinks the murderer |
and an ENGAGEMENT in human lives

that many will hail this as the most
gripping love story the author has
produced.

Banker Reviews Financial
Conditions in Argentina

Senior Carlos A. Tornquist, the head
of an Argentine banking house and
himself an Argentine, has recently pub
lshed in Buenos Ayres a review of Ar
gentine finance during the second year
of the European war, in which he deals
also with the prospects of the current
year He points out that, for long
time 10 come. Argentina cannot count
on the investment there of foreign cap
ital on any appreciable scale. he
urges, therefore, an intensihcation OF
rural exploitation. accompanied by
more scientific methods of cultivation;
the development OF manufacturing in
dustries, and the institution of a state
bank of issue, 20 replace the existing
Gaia de Conversion" as well as TO re-
discount and TO regulate currency. The
last named reform he considers an
essential preliminary TO any success
with internal loans. lie also pleads
for the maximum of railway enterprise
in the republic. On this point he OBJ
serves that "in attention 20 the just
complaints of the railway companies, il
would be equitable TO favor this class
of capital investment as much as pos
s.ble within the limits of existing laws,
in order not TO drive away the foreign
capital which in this form has contrib
uted so largely to the country's aggran.
dscment. and which, incorporated
within our territory. is Argentine and
not foreign wealth"-a reminder which
may be useful in certain circles in
Buenos Ayres.

ease of a fortnight ago following inc
completion of Liberty Loan payments

Liberty Loan. II was estimated tnat
about $4,000, 900 of the government de-
posits was withdrawn, and this necessi-
tated the calling of outstanding loan
bv some of the banks. As result o.
the governments action, nearly all thee

Few Bids for Both Issues
Few firms or banks bid for part OF
both issues. the majority bidding for
the ffty-year bonds. There were sew
eral bids for amounts of the fifty-year
bonds as small as SO, $50 and 500.
Most OF the smaller bids, however,
ranged from 81 900 to $4,000.
Investment bankers expressed the
opinion yesterday that the sale was
success. Although the total of bids was
under the figures of other years, the
fact that the city was able TO sell It's
bonds at substantial premium was
looked upon as favorable. In recent
weeks many municipalities with good
credit have met with failure in their
attempt to sell bonds. The whole in
vestment market has been greatly de-
messed for weeks by the numerous un-
certainties of the situation arising out
of our entrance into the war.
