ington to sail from New York and prac-
tically threatened to bolt the confer
ence, it does not seem to have exerted
any tangible effect upon the progress
of the negotiations Mr. Baker insists
that the Presidents threat terrified
his opponents and quotes an issue of
the ''femps," published at that timo,
as renouncing, tho French claim to the
Saar valley. But the terms Of the
peace treaty assure France the pos
session Of the Saer Valley for fifteen
years; and it is extremely doubtful if
this district will ever revert to Ger
many. So the Presidents rather petu-
liant threat does not seem to have been
colleagues.
1t is difficult to see how Mr.. Wilson
can claim any satisfaction with the
settlement of the Fiume and Shantung
issues Japan is holding Shantung;
italy is holding Fiume; and the Presi-
dent seems to have made a grave
tactical error in taking an obstinate
stand against the Italian claim, a
claim based upon historical and ma
tionaist grounds, and complacently
yielding to the Japanese demand,
which can only be characterized as a
piece of sheer Imperialism.
But although Mr.. Baker seems too
dogmatic in his conviction of the per-
feet righteousness and wisdom of Pres
idcnt Wilson, and too sweeping in his
wholesale condemnation of critics of
the peace settlement and the league Of
nations as Bourbons and Bolsheviki,
his book is valuable contribution to
an adequate understanding of the tan
gled maze of events at the peace con-
ference. 1t is lucid and vigorous
presentation Of the Presidents own
side of the case as against his critics.
The authors picture Of Mr.. Wilson
working under tremendous strain in
the face of failing health for the reali-
zation of his ideals is calculated to ex-
cite the sympathy and respect of his
bitterest political opponents. Mr.. Ba-
ker also achieves notable success in his
pen portraits of Clemenceau and Lloyd
George.
Mr.. Hansen, who is already known as
the editor and translator Of "a Peace
Congress of Intrigue" description of
the Congress of Vienna, interprets the
Paris peace conference with a firm
grasp Of its essential elements, a quick
eye for its unusual and picturesque in
cidents and an excellent sense Of hu-
NOR. He feels that the fourteen points
sustained a good deal of breakage in
the course of their adventures and
emerged considerably battered and the
worse for wear. At the same time,
without blindly eulogizing the Presi-
dent. he is convinced that he did a
fairly good job, in view of the obstacles
with which he was confronted.
Mr.. Hansen is especially successful
IN his account of the opening Of the
peace conference and Of the various
ceremonies which finally led up to the
signing Of the peace by the German
delegates. Possessed of the art Of
striking off a personality in a happy
descriptive phrase, he conjures up vivid
and lifelke pictures of the historic
gatherings at Versailles. w. H. c.

High Merit Works Varied Themes War and Russia Treated Fo
Whistler to Van Dyke

Dr.. John C. Van Dyke, in his recent
book. American Painting and Its Ira
diticn," tells of an amusing experience
he had with the artist;
zone night at the Pennells' Whistler
had been grumbling in an amusing
way over art criticism and art critics.
No one answered him. He had the
floor entirely to himself, and the rest
of US were content to smile. Near II
o'clock, as / rose to go and Whistler
and Pennell went with me to the door,
l ventured to say that art critics were
not very different from other people;
that they did the best they could, but
were human and often erred. It was
good-natured depreciation Of his point
of view, which he met by putting his
hand on my shoulder and saying with
equal good nature:
"'Oh, my dear Van Dyke, don't msun-
derstand. We none of us think of YOU
as an art critic Everybody laughed,
myself included. There was not par
ticle Of venom in it, I had written
about him in praise in the early 'sOs
when others were abusing him, and he
had thanked me for it; I was in his
good books. To be sure, the retort was
hardly new. John Brougham had
launched it at Lester Wallack many
years before. But the cleverness Of it
lay in it's application"

PRESIDENT Policy Eulogized by Ray Stannard
Baker; Fate of the Fourteen Points Described

WHAT WILSON DID AT PARIS BY
Ray Stannard Baker. Doubleday. Pagd
& Co., New York.
THE ADVENTURES OF THE -FOUR
TEEN POINTS. BY Harry Hansen.
The Century Company, New York.
Despite the advance promise of
"open covenants openly arrived at"
the news of the activities of the peace
conference generally leaked out in r-
regular and devious fashions. The
official communique issued by the body
was ordinarily about as interesting
and informative as the Paris wea ther
report; and observers of the work of
the conference were compelled TO de-
pend chiefly upon the contradictory
and often unreliable conjectures of
more or less well-informed CORE
spondents.
Both Mr.. Baker and Mr.. Hansen at
tempt to lift the veil of secrecy and to
reveal what actually went en- behind
closed doors at Paris. Mr.. Bakers
work is primarily justification and a
eulogy of President Wilson's policy.
Mr. Hansen lays more stress upon the
spectacular external features of the
conference and reviews the Presidents
course in q more critical although
still friendly spirit.
AS director of the press bureau of
the conference Mr.. Baker came into
close contact with the President and
was in an excellent position to under
stand nis position in the various
stages of the negotiations. He inter
prets the conference as q prolonged
struggle between American idealism
as represented by the President. and
Continental realism, as exempiGed in
will Ar
wavering between the two camps, but
supporting Wilson on most of the
major issues. This struggle was
marked by five distinct crises: the
dispute over the settlement of the
German colonists, the question of the
inclusion of the league of nations
covenant in the peace settlement, Will
sons threat to leave Paris early in
April, the territorial issues involved
in the Japanese claim to Shantung and
the Italian demand for Fiume.
Mr.. Baker is convinced that Wilson
fought steadfastiy for his ideals
throughout these crises and that he
finally emerged from the conference
with peace treaty far from perfect
but immeasurably better for his in
iluence' and with a project for world
league that contained within itself the
seeds of a better order and possible
future reformation of the treaty. In
the light of present developments it
seems that this estimate of the Presi-
dents success is somewhat exagger-
ated. Mr.. Wilson undeniably scored
an initial victory by persuading the
other powers to accept the mandatory
principle in the distribution of the
German colonies; but the mandatory
system, to be effective. presupposes a
strong league of nations. And the
Presidents scheme for q world fedora
ton. the cause Of the second "clsis.' -
has now been repudiated by the Amer
ican people themselves.
AS for the third "crisis," when the
President ordered the George Wash

general. all the changes and chances
on the front which would influence the
actons OF opposing troops and often
decide the issue of battles. Therefore.
ne acted on certain broad principles
which he was persuaded governed the
application of his art as there are
principles which govern the arts of
painting, music and architecture; but
he could no moro tell beforehand what
form each of his strokes would take
than a painter can tell you before
hand with what stroke of his brush
be will get his effects"
AS the author describes it the due!
between Foch and Ludendorf was a
duel between a bludgeon and rapier;
and the lighter, swifter, more flexible
weapon gained an overwhelming vic
tory. The Allied victory Of 1913 was
prominently victory Of improvised
art over calculated science; it was a
triumph of Napoleon's strategy over
Moltke's.
Without attempting to achieve the
elaborate thoroughness Of staff mill
tary history General Maurice gives a
good soldierly account of how the war
was won. His work is scientific rather
than popular; he leaves the splashes
of color to the numerous war CORE
spondents and war novelsts. But he
is never unduly technical; he sets
forth in plain, erstandable fashion
the problems with which the Allied
soldiers and statesmen were confront
ed and the way in which they were
met. His opinions (and he has very
decided opinions) are sometimes open
to question; but there is quality
of ightforward sobriety about the
book that instinctively wins the read
ers confidence. 1t is an experts inter
probation Of the greatest battles of the
worlds history, battles whose signifi-
canoe was only dimiy appreciated
through the emotional haze Of fear and
nope that tilled the minds ofsthe Amer
lean people while they were actually
taking place.

How the War Was Won
General Frederick Maurice Gives Expert
Interpretation Of Foch's Great Triun1Dh

THE LAST -FOUR MONTHS BY Major
General Str Frederick Maurice. Little,
Brown & Co. Boston.
Throughout the war General Maurice
was persistent and vigorous advocate
OF the theory that the war could be
won only by supreme concentration
of effort on the Western front. He
feels that this theory was justified
by the tremendous German offensives
in the spring of 1913 Paying a high
tribute 20 the dogged pluck which en-
abled the British army to hold out
IN the face of the overwhelming forces
which were hurled against it. he cen
sures the British government severely
Tor employing large forces in other
theaters Of war and thereby exposing
the main army in France to the danger
of an irreparable rout.
General Maurice is not inclined to
belittle Ludendorff's ability as a gen
eral. On the contrary, he is CON
vinced that the German commander
displayed strategic capacity of a high
order In launching his ponderous
drives against the Allied lines. The
author feels that Ludendortf's chief
mistake lay in attempting to push for
werd after the genuine impetus of his
drives was spent. This mistake in
volved heavy losses, which, in turn, de-
layed the speedy preparation of further
offensives.
OF course, Ludendorff met his mas
ter in Foch, who, within the space Of
four months, turned the German ad-
vance into a retreat, the retreat into
rout, the rout into surrender. The
salient principles of Foch's military art
are thus summed up by General Mau-
rice:
"The essential difference between his
mind and the minds of the German
generals was that he regarded war
as an art, not as science. There is
nothing absolute in war is one of his
favorite axioms. He believed it to be
beyond the power of the human mind
to foresee all the factors that would
influence the actions Of the opposing

Red and Black
Mrs. Richmond's Story
Of Two Mems Friendship

RED AND BLACK. BY Grace S. Rich
mond. Doubleday, Page Co., New
York
The two outstanding figures in this
story are Red Pepper Burns, the
whole souled, sympathetic, outspoken
doctor who has appeared in several Of
Mrs. Richmonds earlier novels, and
Robert MACPHERSON Black. an earnest,
devoted young Scotch minister. Burns
is inclined to be Indifferent to the
Church, but he is finally won over by
Blacks sterling character and becomes
one of the young minister's warmest
friends and supporters.
Mrs. Richmond makes the war the
pivot on which much Of the novels
action turns. A common feeling about
the world conflict is one of the strong
est bonds between Red and Black.
Both men are convinced that it is
