Masaryk, Czecho-Slovak Leader

NudSdI hy LCehNA From "The Czecho-Slovaks and Their
 Great Leader.' by stephen P. Dug-
 gan, in the American Review of Re-
 views
 The Czecho-Slovak people owe their splendid preparation for unity and in- dependence to a group of devoted pa- triots; to Masaryk, Benes Stefanik and others. Of these, pr. Thomas Maharyk is the most remarkable. Like Mazzs- nj, his whole life has been given to the cause of liberty and nationality, which he has tried to realize by strengthening and deepening the spir- itual and cultural life of his people. He is really the last of the 'sawak- eners" of Bohemia He has always urged his people to assimilate the pro- gressive ideas of other nations, par ticularly those of the western democ- racies.
 He became known throughout Eu- rope before the war as the fearless critic of the brutal and reactionary regime that held Austria Hungary in it's grasp. Every attempt at injustice was sure to find him in the opposition. The attempt to- rouse anti-Semitism in Austria through accusations of rit- ual murder failed largely because of his noble defense of the Jews. When thhe 5S Jugo-Slavs were convicted of treason in the celebrated Agram trial of 1909 and sentenced to death, Mas aryk proved that the documents that supplied the proof of their conviction had been forged by officials of the Austro- Hungarian foreign office in or- der to bring about war with Serbia It can be readily understood how the Austrian beaureaucrats have hated him. He was, in deed, marked man, and when the war broke out had to flee for his life in order to continue the work of redeeming his country.
 I had the pleasure of an afternoon visit with him at his Washington home one day last month and came away impressed by the depth of his patriot ism, the soundness of his judgment, and his magnanimity. He Is probably the greatest enemy of the Magyars and Germans of Austria-Hungary, but he does not hate. nor does he wish their destruction. He does demand, however, that while they shall have the opportunity to lead their lives as they will, they shall be compelled to grant the same privilege to the nationalities they have hitherto suppressed. Dr. Masaryk is not opposed to federalism. but the federation must be one volun- tarily formed by free states. f-came away from my visit feeling that in ,Dr. Masaryk were combined some of the noblest qualities of Washington and Lincoln.

THE MODERNISTS."
 By Robert w. Norwood. George IT. De- ran company, publishers, PA Madison
 avenue. New York city.
 ''The Modernists" by Robert w. Nor wood is a new volume by a poet who has advanced very rapidly in public rec ognition. There is singing melody and beauty of diction in MT. Norwood' 8 work" says the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, that carry it into the zone of pure poet ry. One can imagine the author ex- claiming. with Swinburnian enthusiasm: Thank God for this beautiful English word! A poet of distinction!"
 "The Modernists" present an idea of great interest. The long line of inspired poets and prophets from Moses and Paul down to Jeanne D'Arc and Darwin, speak in these pages-each one mod ernist of his age, a transfigured singer proclaiming new truths and upsetting the sterile shams and self-contented orders of his day-Vashti's voice thrilling in the halls of Xerxes and Socrates calm eyes

THE BROWNIES AND PRINCE
 FLORIMEL"


 By Palmer Cox. The Century Co.,, pub. fishers, No. 353 Fourth avenue, New York city. \ Palmer Cox, creator of the Brownies, was silent five years before writing his latest Brownie book. And this latest is 8 new kind of Brownie book. It is all in prose this time, and it is a detailed, connected story, with beginning, a mid dle and an end. In addition to the chief alurements of the preceding Brownie books, which it has of course, there is the time, the tension, this suspense, the thrill of well-connected prose narra- tive.
 But the chief fact is, after all, that the Brownies are back again, like the first autumn apples; and this year new army of boys and girls will follow their pied piper, the Brownie nan, Palmer Cox.
 As lively and jolly as ever, and as queer and fantastic, they are once more going to troop through thousands of small heads and bring them funny, friendly dreams at night. . All the old favortes reappear in. this new volume and some new ones, too. There are mermaids, for instance, and a whole kingdom of fairies. In fact there are three kingdoms in the book Brownieland, Fairyland and Demonland- and Palmer Cox has peopled them all, in pictures and in text, as only he knows how to do.

"uNcLE REMus RETuRNs..

by Joel Chandler Harris. ILLUSTRATORS
 by A. B. Frost and J. M. Condo.
 Houghton- -Mifflin company, publish
 CTS. Park Row, Boston.
 On July 8, 1908, in Atlanta. Ga.S the creator of Uncle Remus,' with smile on his lips, went Ito see what is on the other side" to use his own quaint words. No longer would the old darky uncle spin his wonderful stories to the breathless little boy" Brer Rab- bit and Brer Fox and all the other friendly beasts were dumb with sorrow and would never speak again The last tale, reflecting the old plantation life of the south, had been told, and Joel Chandler Harris no more would fill The Wren's Nest with laughter which echoed all over the world.
 New, just 10 years later, loyal pub lie, who have never forgotten him, are amazed to hear the old darky's has returned! Ten stories scattered far and wide in forgotten corners, have been found. and are now pub lished under the alluring title or Uncle Remus Returns" And, they are as good as the best that he has ever told full of his sly fun and homely wisdom. One tells of Empty Empty "Taily-po Like all the Uncle Remus volumes, they portray the thoughts and characteristics of great race, rapidly becoming a dream of the past, which, but for the labors of Joel Chandler Harris. would have been lost to the world. And in order that no touch would be missing. A. B. Frost, who illustrated some of the first of the Uncle Remus stories was asked to do this new volume. His drawings reflect in every line-his genuine affec- tion for Uncle Remus and his 'cree- turs."
 Also J. M. Condo contributes his art and the book makes both a conclu- sion and climax to the long series of Uncle Remus volumes which have been the favorite reading of two gen. erations.
