were taken from an Erie drawing. The
arms were covered from shoulder to

itself round and round at increasing in

1t is not amiss in the story Of today's
fashions to dwell at length upon
sleeves, because every one else is doing
it. The dressmakers, the designers, the
students at museums and even the art
lists are promoting new sleeves. These
arm coverings redeem an old gown;
they brighten up an unbecoming frock,

Once it was thought that few women
could carry off cape with the spirit it
demanded. 1t is most picturesque

has noticed the hundreds Of glances

young Italian aviators in their long,
sweeping capes,. with one end thrown

There are as many capes as sleeves
this season. Even if you are Indifferent
to new clothes you cannot escape these
two features. There is no reason for
your wanting to avoid them. for they
cut many a Gordian knot. The cape
covers much: the new sleeve redeems

This is the story of a summer cruise

than this. For. taking Audubons own
journal of similar adventure, DIR.
Townsend followed in the wake of the
great naturalist, who, in 1888. explored
the bird life of this region. So the adj
venture has a double value. double
charm. The present explorer visits the
places described by Audubon, finding
children's children of Audubon's old
acquaintance, and hunting out the bird
population of which the great bird man
made such specific account For the
general reader the book furnishes a
fresh and stimulating account Of sum-
mer travel in an interesting and un-
freQuented locality. To bird lovers and
bird students it adds the personal in

HdNcCcdSeu 10 exist Europe
will by then have been
split into two parts so opposed to each
other in ideals and programs as to de-
stroy forever the diplomatic sovereign
~ of the continent as a world arbiter.
On one side Of this north-and south
line of cleavage Germany and her war
earned neighbors will face upon the
east. On the other side. on the west
side of the line, the liberty-loving coun-
tries on both sides of the Atlantic will
have gathered into a grand information

France. Belgium. Portugal, Italy. Can

OF South America will compose this
new alliance. Containing a preponder-
ance Of the worlds resources and in
ftiative, having reached a more ad-
vanced stage in the equitable solution
OF political and social problems, this
great international unit will attract to
itself those countries of Asia and Africa
that are kindred to it in progressive
ideals. This is the vision which DIR.
Usher evolves from a mastery and
brilliant study of the present situation
in its origin and its progress toward
fulfillment The writer goes back to
the German empire created by Bis
marck after 1870. Then the dream Of
Mittel-Europa arises-a definite realm,
reaching from Hamburg to Bagdad,
with lateral ingatherings along the
way. Fifty years of scientific prepara-
ton went into the war scheme that was
to materialize that dream. An invisible
army all over the world collected in
formation in order that there should be
no possible miscalculation. no chance
Of failure. Then the war came. France
was to be brought to diplomatic COM
speedy whipping, while the Russian
bear was rubbing it's sleepy eyes open
with it's clumsy paws. Belgium was
invaded-and right there the war of
neutrals ceased to exist. A thousand
channels of support were opened to the
allies independent of official action.
And in the very midst of the war the
Germans were compelled to change
their strategy that looked only toward
victory to a strategy that was able to
contemplate defeat-that is. the defeat
Of the original pan German plan. Then
the Russian revolution-in the main a
revolution made in Germany-became a
fact. And while the allies-out of the
wholly admirable qualities possessed
by them-discredited the solidity and
scope of the revolution, the Germans
recognized it and, then and there, set
aside the first pan-German doctrine and
erected another one in its place. 1t is
a great story. Facts, implications
logic. the lessons of history. the psy-
chology of race, and brilliant manner
of setting out this web of argument
come together here in amazing and
convincing array. The book carries a
definite message of instruction, and
Of the allies must learn to look facts
in the face. To say out of ones hopes
that Germany is starving does not
