noon, Miss Wilson invited me to join her and her travelling companions in her
 apartment for tea, which of course
 gladly accepted. Our conversation was naturally all about the war, and I quoted for Miss Wilson portions of the patriotic address which I made in defense of the
 administration policy, on Christmas night, 1915, at the Hotel Metropole, Lon
 don, Eng, at which time l stated that
 President Wilson was the ablest leader
 of people that the world ever had known,
 up to that time. Miss Wilson smiled and
 said: "Mr. Kirby, are you just making
 that statement to please me, or do you
 really believe that my father is truly
 a great man?'' I said: Miss Wilson, if
 you will excuse me for a few moments,
 will go to my stateroom and bring
 you a photographic copy of an address
 I prepared for the fourth Liberty Loan, and which was published in The Birming-
 ham Age Herald Sunday, october 6, 1918, in which I repeated my utterance con- corning your fathers greatness; the same
 sentiment I suggested at the Hotel Met ropOle in London on -ChlrStmaS HlSnl' 1915"
 In a<few moments I returned with the photographic copy of my address, which was published by you in The Birntlne- , ham Age Herald, and presented it to Miss Wilson She read every word or | it, including your "Doliy-Ettes ana "Dolly's Mammy's Philosophy and en- | joyed these tremendously, and asked me | if I would permit her to mail thls 10

It tells the reader of the human side of the art: what klnd of men the great composers were; now they lived; what they felt, and the cir cumstances which inspired their com positions.

TALES FROM A DuGoUT."

By Arthur Guy Empey The Century company. publishers New, York city
 Arthur Guy Emby's new book. "Tales From a Dugout," is cleverly written and uniquely conceived. The book is made up of a group of battle front sketches and short stories. They are fiction founded Sh the experiences of the author at the front during critical time of the war; as such, they repro duce, not Teal names and dates. which are important chiefly in directories and records, but that tremendous reality the spirit of the men who are engaged in this modern crusade against the Hun. In the book the reader feels the allied invincible will to win. the unconquer- able gayety and good humor of vast bodies of men fighting and working to- gether. the thrills of physical contests in a scale never before known to the world.
 The time elapsed since the author has given him a much more accurate Irrespective than he could have had while the disturbances of war were i still raclSing him. He sees it all more las a whole now; and he has had time to think through, and to feel through. many an ideay many picture that be- jfore were but blurred and flying frag- ments from a time of cataclysm.
