"The Book of Bravery"

IN these days of great deeds when men
i are fighting shoulder to shoulder to
make this great world safe and decent
place to live in, Henry Wysham Lanier's
The Book of Bravery has a whole lot Of
interest.
When one thinks Of it, "bravery" is a
most comprehensive term. "Some men
are naturally intrepid" says Mr. Lanier,
"but the bravest are those who fear and
conquer it. And there is almost no limit
TO the possibilities of training ones ma
ture to encounter danger coolly; not only
can one form o habit of attacking the
difficult thing, Of calmly measuring and
meeting what would once have sent him
flying into a panic, but there comes
after a while realization of that physio-
logical fact that danger makes US more
alive"
In order to get the most out of life
we must first rid ourselves of fear and
be able 10 summon all the resources of
mind and body to meet an emergency.
We find kind of delight, it often seems,
in facing almost anything just to exper-
rience it.
These tales which Mr.. Lanier has care
fully gathered together of heroic deeds
Of men in every age, many Of them well
known, are "their best own excuse"
Wherever possible these stories are told
in the words of the chief actors or those
of eye witnesses and they are arranged
according to an ascending scale Of
courage.
In few instances Mr.. Lanier has
taken it upon himself to add scenes which
were probable in order to round out the
picture or to make it more vivid, but only,

NEVER has there been such season
L y for boys books. Some folks think
the men of IA to Is are too busy with war
work in gardens and the various "drives"
for the sale of stamps and bonds to bother
with stories, but the publishers do not
hold this view.
Eugene Charles Henry de la Motto,
Chevalier de ,Champclair, was having his
complicated and thrilling adventure of
The Stolen Credentials few years earlier
than Frank Fowler, the Cash Boy, made
his climb up in the world. He may have
known in the army Oliver Optics Tom
Somers Gene came to America from
France in search of his uncle. The father
less lad landed in New York after adven-
lures on the sea, and his uncle, after
serving in the Mexican war, was away
off at the other side Of this broad continent.
Between them interposed not only the
many broad American miles but the
scheming and plotting Of young i'm
postor who tired TO supplant Gene
with the rich uncle. The boys Of to-day
may read with wonder-but not much
admiration, we guess-of the New York
of the horse ear era. A good, lively yarn.
Tom Kerry played The Big Come not
on diamond or gridiron, but partly in the
deans Office and partly In the field house.
Tom was a particular bright star in the
sky of college athletics-he kept clear of
conditions" too, and was second group
man in his studies, besides being careful
of cuts-a pitcher who almost tanned the
Giants, fullback equally great in split
ting the middle of the line or wearing

in, when laid up by a bad soldier, ready
and able to pull an oar in the varsity shell
when Prineeton-no, Haledon-won a
heartcracking race from Franklin, which
looks very like Cornell.
Scout Lonny Drake became "pota-
triot" in 1917, private in the war farm
army. The story's full Of good, brisk,
outdoor sport. There's verytremarkable

ular fellows and the whole outfit had their
hands full of circumventing German spies
who were planning a secret submarine
base and plotting to destroy big NUM-

It's wholesome and thoroughly exeit-
ing story. The boy won't quit till he
finishes the last page.

dog race, to win money to buy the ship

trader, and win back the lost prosperity
of his once powerful family. He almost
won the race; would have won it if his
soft heart could have endured the sight of
a dog dying in the snow. He overcame
one obstacle after another, because no set
back killed his courage. American boys
can get some excellent pointers from this
plucky little Eskimo lad.

ing Of seararng family, who just had
to go to sea himself and who endured all
sorts of hardships on one ship after an
other, supported through some of them by
the picture in his mind of the wrecked
ship Hatteras, of which an old sailor had

with platinum aboard and platinum was
worth 500 an ounce.
Dave got on the King6sher, bound for

Dave is shipwrecked once-twice-a
marooned on a South Sea island. But
this is the part of the world in which the
Hatteras went down; and before leaving
it Dave undertakes, with Bruce Tempest
and Kanaka named Jim, a treasure
hunt. Now, you mustn't ask to know any
more here
The Mystery of Ram Island, by Joseph
Bushnell Ames, is a first rate boys story
too. Like Lost Island, it has lots of
action. The tale centres about Boy
Scout camp.
Alan Blake had fought his parents de-
cision that he should spend the summer
at the camp on Ram Island, mainly be-
cause he thought he would meet "only

rs he says, where this was possible with
out violating historical accuracy"
From Caesar Borgia's escape from his
well earned enemies to Father Damien,
who devoted his life to the lepers Of
Molokai with a slow and hideOus death
always before him, these stories run what
Mr.. Lanier rightly calls 'the gamut of
human courage" They exhibit coura-
geousness of the more primitive type and
progress to some memorable instances Of
disciplined bravery.
Take Cervantes, who gave the world
Don Quirote. Cervantes had joined the
army at the age Of twenty-three years
with a reputation as one of the most
promising young poets of Spain. That
poets are made of sterner stuff was shown
at the battle of Lepanto on October z,
1871: Among the tales Of daring is one
of Fridtjof hansen, the Norwegian e1-::
plorer, who set the flag of his native
land at the furthest north in 1897. How
Horatius held the bridge, how Mad
Anthony Wayne took Stony Point, Gus
ter's last fight and the capture of Quebec
are all in The Book Of Bravery.
Another narrative in the volume deals
with John Paul Jones, and still another
with the first American Admiral, David
Farragut, who stood in the port rigging
and from his exposed post watched the
battle.
Two stories in The Book of Brarery
deal with the present war. The first is
an account of the single handed capture
of a machine gun from the enemy by
George Wilson, a Seotchman. and the
rescue by him of a wounded eomrade.
Wilson was afteryard presented with the
Victoria Cross. The other is about A. j.
Warneford, a young Canadian aviator
who downed German raiding Zeppelin
within the German lines. The fight is
given in detail. Warneford, on the day i
after the battle, had the Victoria Cross
bestowed upon him by King George by
telegram and upon the recommendation
of Gen. Joffre the Cross of the Legion Of
Honor also rewarded his feat. Other
deeds of this war as courageous as these
will no doubt be gathered together to
make up just such another volume as this.
This volume is a veritabie treasury for
boy and girl. 1t is splendidly illustrated.

Secretary of the Treasury William
G. McAdoo has called upon Virginians
as Well as all Americans to give con.
crete evidence of their devotion to
the country by purchasing War Saw
ings Stamps. Here is what he has to
say on the subject:
"It is essential that the American
people economic and save in order
to make available to their Govern
ment the money indispensably needed
for the war and to release supplies
and labor required for the production
Of things necessary for our own mill
tary forces and for the military forces
Of the nationsSAssaciated with us. One
of the best methods or bringing about
this result Is for everyone to pledge
himself to cconomiZc and save and to
purchase, at definite periods, a specific
amount OF War Savings Stamps, thus
giving concrete evidence OF his sup
port Of tho practice of War SAVINGS.
"To achieve this object. there Will
be conducted, under the direction OF
the Treasury Department., Il campaign
for pledges. eliminating on June 22,
when loyal Americans throughout the
country will be asked to commit them.
selves to this program.
"Thc progress OF the war demands
constant and increasing sacrifices. We
are sending our young manhood to
represent us on foreign battlcfclds,
where they are called upon to sacri-
flcc not only their personal comfort,
and material interests but their lives

for the American people who are
privileged 10 remain in safety and
comfort at home to consider their
sacred obligation to support our cal
liant men and to pledge themselves
earnestly to save and economics in
order that our soldiers and sailors
may have the food and clothing and

the organizations and institutions OF
the nation which, through their in flu-
ence and active support. can further
this work. 1t is desirable that the
attention OF tho entire people be cen
