Wdr-Born Romance

Although the war is utilized as the
background of Florence Olmstead's new
story, "On Furlough," the clash of bat
tie resounds, but family in its pages.
Lieutenant WreXham, of the Royal Irish
Guards. is simply a modern typo of
those dashing medieval knights who
covered themselves with glory in combat
and then stormed with brilliant sue
cess the citadel OF their fair lady's
heart.
Just why an American hero would
not prove satisfactory in an otherwise
"all-American' story is not made clear
Perhaps Miss Olmstead felt that an
Irish lieutenant presented a more ro-
mantle or dashing figure. He certainly
succeeds in capturing without difficulty
the impressionable heart OF a southern
girl when he comes TO America to re-
cuperate. and the ensuing romance pur-
sues its placid. leisurely way in drowsy
indifference to the world storm raging
across the Atlantic.
Miss Omstead's characters are the
typical southern folk long familiar in
conventional fiction. Their conVersa-
ton Is as neat and precise as their
ideas. There is nothing disturbing
about either.

BIRD LIFE IN
SOUTH AMERICA
Described by the Naturalist
Who Vas in Colonel
Rooseuelf's Party

The lover OF birds will find much TO
enjoy in this account OF nearly SIX
years of exploration in the great Won
derland" of South America, during
which over 10000 miles were covered
The author, Leo f. Miller, OF the Ameri-
can Museum OF Natural History, now
first lieutenant of the United states aNi-
alton corps, was a member or leader OF
seven different expeditions, one of which
was that OF Colonel Roosevelt. Their
purpose was TO collect birds and NAM
mails also to study the fauna, fora, to-
Biography climate and human inhabl-
tants of the regions visited. His spe-
clal interest was the birds, and his mar
rative In largely devoted to descriptions
of their infinite varieties, numbers
habits and nests. Some of these nests
were five or six feet across and con-
tained hundreds of pounds OF material,
so as 10 strain the trees bearing three or
four of the huge structures to the
breaking point. He also gives great
deal of valuable and interesting infor-
nation in regard to the whole life or
the regions visited, which included prac-
tically all the South American republics.
In some places he was brought into
close contact with native Indians VINO
have scarcely any intercourse with the
found some whose weapons are bows
and arrows. the former of great height
and 30 powerful that they cannot be
drawn with the arms alone. In order
to shoot the Indian throws himself on
his back. grasps the bow with the feet
and draws the cord with both hands"
The arrows are seven or eight feet long.
The impression left by Mr.. Miller's
account of his varied experiences ls
that South America is absolutely differ
ent from all the other continents. The
rainfall. for instance, in parts is 400
inches annually, and the Orinoco, way
inland, becomes 1870 miles wide during
the wet season. This, the heat and the
resistless venomous insects and ants
make the readers feel that large part
of the area of the interior Is worthless
for human habitation. incidentally a
noteworthy tribute is paid to the work
Of American instructors in Bolivian
institute in "furthering the educational
and moral progress of the country" We
sincerely regret the absence OF an index

and Importance.

eighty-five cents. The cover, Of course

the talk of the ---th Infantry.
"The Chief" is Private Ross, full

ago he threw up his job herding
sheep in the barren hills of Southern
Arizona, walked so miles down to
Bisbee, rode the rods" to Ell Paso
and enlisted In the training camp
he was nicknamed The Chief y
There also il was discovered that
"The Chief" had unusual scouting
abilities-both hereditary and ac-
quired.
He was assigned as battalion scout.
That's when he smiled the first time.
Chief Ross is hardly model soldier,
He hardly ever salutes an officer and
says ugh" for Yes, sir" and shakes
his head for "No sir" Although he
has a fair command Of English he
