THE LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN
By Ida NJ Tarbeli New York. The
Macmillan Company.
About seventeen years ago there
came into the hands of this writer a
| body of material bearing upon the life
of Lincoln that had not hitherto been
available for any considerable study of
Lincoln's life. This material was, in
the main, taken at first hand from Lin
coins addresses upon one momentous
occasion and another, from hts less
cia1 and friendly, from kilograms and
other immediate means Of communica-
tion upon pressing topics. To this was
added also a body of fresh illustrative
which had already become common
property through publications of a
, wide range. Miss Tarbell produced a
notably well organized study of Lin
coin. one that proved to be as fresh
and interesting as it was authentic and
complete. Since the publication of her
book, seventeen years ago, half cen
| tury has rounded since the death OF
Lincoln. Within this longer perspec-
| tive the character of the great man, his
and. therefore. his place in the history
| Of human progress, stand in a truer re-
| lation to the sum of human affairs
than they. could hitherto have stood

in large measure, but few of them
point to something new and their
presence is at least stimulating.
There are .far more interesting
sketches coming over than gowns. as
they purpose to be the new clothes
worn by the women in Paris who are
an about-face in the attitude of the
fashionable people toward clothes since
the entry of America into the war. The
connection may not appear on the sur
face to those who are not interested
in this kind of subject. but the vast
amount of money spent by our weil-to-
do Army in Paris has stimulated trade
to an extent that has not been known
since long before the war
Another fact that enlivens the
clothes question over there Is the pres
ence of thousands of get-rich quick
munition makers and other members OF
the vast middle class in France who
heretofore have not troubled their
heads about French gowns.
The leading feature in the new frocks
is the constant repetition of artificial

BY OSWALD F. sCHUETTE.
Especial Correspondence of The Even
ing Star and Chicago Daily News)
BERN, Switzerland, November 20
For a century and half Poland has
been praying for independence. Today
it Is praying for bread. Daily the
death roll of Poland grows. Daily the
record Of its dead children sounds like
the casualty list from a battle front Of
fensive. The price of a shell would save
the lives of ten children. The price of a
cannon would save 1000. The price of
a battleship would save a nation. But
somehow help cannot reach them. for
to send food or medicines or clothing
might interfere with deep-laid political
and military programs.
Not only are the children of Poland
dying. Half of those left alive have tu-
berculosis. The other half may have It
tomorrow. The death rate In the con-
gested centers now is almost twice the
birth rate. But that is the record of
the summer months. Cruel winter is
at the door. Bitterly cruel is the Polish
winter.
Here are some pictures of destftution
in Poland today:
