Sanity is the keynote of Mr.. Clarke's
Japan at First Hand" He refuses
point blank to be bamboozled with the
fashionable fetish incarnation of Kip
ling and other literary fakirs over the
mystic East" The author comes flat
footedly out and says so. There are
reasons why Mr.. Clarke cannot come
under the spell of the twaddle of Sim
penetrable East" very we'll Perhaps
the most substantial of the reasons is
Japanest called DR.. Takamine. Mr..
Clarke had known Takamine for years
before he went to Japan to look it over
known him as a ncighbor and had
found him about as human as himself
Japan at First Hand" is no collec-
tlon of a tourists impressions. 1t is a
comprehensive survey of the Japan Of
few years back-it is an imposing
work of nearly five hundred pages; it
covers the wide range of Japan's social
industrial, commercial, political, artis-
tic activities. 1t tells the American
reader how the Japanese farmer works
in his field, how the fishermen cult
vate the seas, how crazy the young
people are on the subject Of education,
how baseball is getting to be the rage
there, how they make gods, and what
the Geisha really is, and so on, in

Sanctuary!''
What America Meant to a Rus
sian Refugee

OUT or THE SHADOW. BY Rose Cohen H.
I!afa ss The 0y eorss Ma'sr Dnn,an
We have had in recent years num-
Der Of books, both fact and fiction,
about the experiences Of immigrants
chiefly of Russian Jews-in this coun-
try. They have been varied in tone.
Some, we regret to say, have been OBJ
viously pieces of pernicious and hos
tile propaganda, intended subtly to
suggest what we once heard a no.
torious New York editor declare in an
after dinner speech that America is
no more free and no more a land of
opportunity than Russia. Some, most
of them, are honest and truthful, and
while they point out the undoubted
evils which exist in our industrial,
political and social systems, and which
often bear hard upon the immigrant,
they gratefully recognize the benef-
cent character of the sanctuary here
afforded to refugees from Old World
despotism.
This latest addition to their number
not, it is true, spare or disguise the
hideous evils of the sweatshop sys-
TEN, to which she was for a time
subjected. But she also shows how it
was possible for her to emancipate
herself from it, and how far America,
with all its faults, was superior to
the land from which she had fed. We
have seldom seen more realistic and
more grewsome pictures Of the Ghetto
life of New York than she paints, or
those which we were compelled to
confess more truthful. Yet the con-
soling and redeeming feature of it all
is that these horrors are not because
of, but in spite of, the American sys-
tenn. Indeed, they, are largely, as Miss
Cohen suggests, because of the Old
World spirit which the immigrants
bring hither. They are the victims of
what they bring, rather than of what
they find.
1t is a powerful narration, instinct
with truth, which will be read with
intense interest and which should be
read with much profit.

After all, thank God! there are
scenes of peace and beauty in the
world which the foul beast has not
despoiled. The brain and heart wearied
and sickened with contemplation of the
ravages Of the Hun in France and
Flanders, of the wanton destruction of
the wonders and glories of Rheims
and Coucy, of Arras and Louvain. turn
gratefully to what is left in regions
from which the herosm of civilization
has damned back the flood of barbar-
ism. How the Blond Beast of Berlin
would have exufted in the destruction
Of Italian art! How glorious a thing
it is that ne was held back at the
Piave!
Such reflections come thick and fast
at inspection of this exquisite volume,
IN which author, illustrator and pub

show forth the beauty and the charm
of one of the fairest regions on the

are few regions better worth knowing

with unfailing sympathy and with a

The illustrations, which are numer-
