vived the years because it gives OBJ
servations on the men and women who
were leaders in this world war, and
presents panorama of these stirring
times, and the life that the high and
lowly lived as they furnished the sin
ews and morale that made American
troops Incompatible on the fighting
front"
Hon. VIM H. Taft writes. after re-
ceiving "A Kansan in New York"
"It is a good idea to note down the
impressions that man from the mid
die west has of such a trip as this. OF
course there is great homogeneity
among our people and great similarity
in our manners and our mode of life.
and yet as between one great section
like that which Kansas is in, and the
seaboard, there are differences that
the superficial observer does not all
wavs discover"

of hotels and restaurants, says: THE
book is clever it can be. I have
read it with interest. We want to
