WOULD YOU SAVE A HUMAN LIFE FROM
r. ~ DEATH BY FAMINE?

Millions of starving women and children in En-
rome are looking to the people of America to feed
them. The fighting is over, but famine, mother
of anarchy, is still lowering over the world:
Millions of Russians, the experts report, must
certainly die this winter of starvation. How many
more, the people of America-especialy our good
housewives must determine. The poor OF 70
land, Finland, Armenia and the Czecho-Slavs are
starving The whole War-Wrecked world looks to
America for food.
All the food of the world is practically in a COM
mon pot Statisticans know where every pound
is located and what shipping and other manipula-
ton is needed to distribute it to the best advant
age.
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE,
even if no one buys or consumes more than he or
she needs
Because the United States is one CT the great
repositories of food, and because the shipping
Abilities from this country are in better shape
than in almost any other zone, we must do more
than share.
Twelve million tons of food were exported from
this country last year. This year the pledge Of
the United States to Europe is 100000 tons.
We must save-THAT is, NOT USE-two-t thirds
more food than we did last year. 1t is great
promise, and only possible of fulfllment if the
housewives of America exert all that they have
of perseverance and thrift.
1t is no longer question of substituting certain
foodstuffs for others. Vegetable oil for butter?
There is as great shortage of vegetable oil as
of the dairy product. Coarse grains, instead of
wheat? There is really more wheat than coarser
grains, comparatively speaking, but no more than
a supply of each. Sugar is scarce, but the sugar
substitutes are scarcer.
The housewife who plans carefully, not for a
campaign of day or week, nor to save one spe-
cial kind of provender, but who pledges herself
to a program of DAILY FOOD SAVING carried
out with the same devoted enthusiasm that has
characterized the American women throughout
the whole struggle, will certainly do her part in
the great reconstruction period that is to come.

There can be no questioning the
genius of this amazing little volume.
We had read its contents before, in
the periodicals which were privileged
to publish them, and were impressed
beyond expression with the poetic
grace, the artistic color and the dra-
matte power Of them. But we did not
fully appreciate them; perhaps be-
cause of inability to dismiss altogether
the stupid and baselcss distinction be-
tween periodical and book-as
though a work of literary genius were
not as great on newspaper page as
in a royal octave de luxe! But in this
dainty little volume was no such ghost
of barrier to appreciation even to
safety, if safety were possible to the
Unsuitable.
These four poems, then, in "poly-
phonic prose-" must be acclaimed as
cpics. Their themes are epic, the
authors vision of them is epic, and
the orchestration, with its modula-
lions, arias, chords and recurring
"motives," is as epic as Beethoven
symphony, Of which indeed it irresis
tlbly reminds US. More graphlc plct-
ures Of immortal scenes never were
painted, with more vivid colors; or
with a single gigantic exception, with
more accurate drawing. And that eX-
ception we most pardon, for its very
audacity. There is only one moment
in all our life when we can idealize
Emma Hamilton, and that is when we
are under the spell of Miss Lowell's
magic muse. At all other times we
must sec her as she was, vulgar and
vile.
Best Of all, perhaps. we would ac-
claim "Guns as Keys; both because
of the brilliance Of the poets por-
trayal. and because of the epochal
significance of the event, which has
never hitherto had the recognition in
literature and art which it so richly
merits. Miss Lowell has rightly meas
ured its proportions in the history of
the world, and has dscerned not alone
the unsurpassed picturesqueness of
the outward show, but equally the
meaning of it's very heart of hearts.
She has thus placed in the gallery of
American history a dramatic scene
vylng triumphantly with the most
striking that any hands have placed
there of any event in ali our annals

MY CHINESE DAYS By tiulielma L. Alscp Il
Illustrated from photographs. Syo. pp I'll. Little.
Brown & Co.
In spite of the fact that the war has
drawn all Allied nations closer, the
Oriental remains to most of us a mys-
terry. 1t is seldom that we find a book
which so dramatically and yet so truth
fully puts before one picture of life
in China as does this. Books Of travel
cannot very successfully perform this
function, because, as rule, they are Of
greater value to the author in clarity
ing and stating his ideas, in recording
the things which seem to him of par
ticular interest-too often such trivial
things rs food and hotel accommoda-
tions and to the traveller who enjoys
living over again familiar scenes than
to the ordinary reader seeking instruc-
tion. 3D.
The author of "My Chinese Days" has
chosen as her medium a series Of
sketches or vignettcs selected from
real scenes out Of her four years spent
in China as a physician and missionary.
Her viewpoint is human and under
prise that fills the heart of the good
, Christian sent to minister in what he
considers "heathcn lands" She sees
the life of the Chinese as it s-full of
a crude matcrialism which somehow
loses its grossness because of its eX-
treme and almost innocent frankness, a
matcrialism touched, too. by the deep
and unconquerable idealism of the
East. The little stories from real life
are written with power and pathos,
with dramatic feeling and keen under
standing and sympathy. She sees the
woman's side and the problem, and
there is great woman's problem for
China to solve, one before wnicn our
own shrinks to nsgniticance.
The book has unity because of a real
love story which runs through its pages
and binds the sketches together into a
logical whole. "The Coolies Wife, is a
sharp picture from life full of tragedy
and pathos. "The House of the Dead
and "The Wives of Ii" give the prob
lem Of the Chinese wife from her own
lips with 4 realism, sharpness and d
polgnancy tnat wiring the heart and a
truthfulness which compels belief. But
every chapter is worth reading, and the
whole book is one which those who de-
sire an understanding of the problems
of the different people who inhabit the
various portions of the globe on which
we live cannot afford to miss. 1t is
seldom that understanding is evoked
with such art and with such clean out
lines and in such a clear picture
