america after the Var

Although America After the War"
was written as a series of periodical
articles near.y year before the arml-
stice, the author, who is given on the
title page of the collected papers as
IAN American Jurist," has provided
much food for thought and reflection
even now. Naturally his papers were
inevitably based on the assumption that
the Allies. with Americas aid, would
win against the forces OF autocracy.
Therefore. with victory as u premise.
his conclusions are as apt now as when
the book was written, and this without
being In any sense prophetic tle con-
siders at some length the territorial

burg and France. Americas relations to

dous changes that are working in the
fabric OF our political institutions and to
forecast the probable conflicts and pos-
sible adjustments. He foresees. for one
thing, an enormous growth OF centralized

ical struggles as the aftermath OF the

Joining the Colors

Captain Charles a. Botsford, Of the
Canadian expeditonary forces. has
added Joining the Colors" to the Vic
tory Series Of stories for boys between
thirteen and seventeen years Of age. II
is q safe wager, however. that the ad-
ventures of Rodman Van Horne--Van
for short--will appeal to boys both over
and under those age limits. Big Van"
as he Is nicknamed on account of his
size, develops from a school lad into
soldier in khaki in the course of this
tale. His adventures once would have
been considered improbable, but with
thousands of boys coming home to the
United States and Canada with equally
thrilling experiences to recount persons
who once used to think fiction for boys
was merely tissue Of imagination and
excitement will hesitate to say what is
possible and what is impossible In an
authors creations. particularly when the
author has been in the thick of foreign
action, as Captain Botsford has. His
book is q lively story and also has edu-
cational value on account of the au-
thoritative descriptions OF modern war
fare incorporated by the author from
his st-hand knowledge of conditions.

The Drama of q Soul

The Mirror and the Lamp" the first
book by w. B. Maxwell for four years
which he spent In France on the firing
line--is very serious and substantial
novel. and one that will excite good
deal of discussion in England as well
as possibly among minded
Americans. 1t is literally the drama Of
soul, possibly the movie of a soul,
since in form it is a series of dssolving
views recording the progress of Edward
Churchill temperamentally religious
lad who takes orders in the Church of
England. Mr., Maxwell chronicles and
analvzes his psychology under varying
conditions, his curacy in a sordid East
End parish. his leanings toward candles,
incense and vestnents, his radicalisrn Of
political economy, his ascetic celibacy,
and his love for the abused wife of u
pretentious and rough labor leader.
Somber in quality. minus sensation and
excitement. none the less the novel holds
the reader enthralled by it's keen in
sight into human nature and its human
touch. 1t is the sort Of book that

Heroine Of a Daughter Of T,oo
Worlds Eats apples OF
Social Sodom

Jennie Mslone, the heroine OF Leroy
Scott's "a Daughter Of Two Worlds"
like the mother OF all the daughters Of
the world, is tempted by an apple. She
nibbles at the apple OF social success
and finds IT Dead Sea fruit.
Jennie has the misfortune to be born
with beauty and brains as the, daughter
or Black Jerry Malone, keeper Of n
cheap saloon and dance hall, a man with
tho suspicion of crimes for which he
could not be convicted hanging over
him. Jennie also has n knack with the
pen. and exercising It at the behest of
young dancer of criminal instincts
finds herself in court charged with
forgery. This awakens her father TO the
temptations of her environment. He de-
ter1nines to give her chance and with
the cooperation Of an old and sagacious
New York politician, starts her on
social career. She jumps bail and Is
sent to a polishing school where quietly
and quickly she absorbs savoir faire.
Through schoolmate she gets her in
PRODUCTION into her second world-that
OF high society" But reminders from
her first world intrude into her new life,
particularly after she marries into
rich and arriving family. Her skill and
distinction push her husband forward
and he becomes the protegc Of great
tinancier. The husband is unfaithful
both in business and love. He persuades
Jennie to forge his fathers name to
check to save his personal speculations,
Discovered, he csllousy blames It all on
the girl. Ambitious father does not be-
lievo him. but decides to side with his
son. Again Jennie faces court as
forger. Already the fruit Of her success
has turned to ashes on her lips She
has her flight out of the country planned.
but the good impulses, always part OF
her, but usually suppressed, dominate.
and in order to save an innocent msn,
who loved her in her humble past, from
the electric chair through her testi-
mony, she gives herself up. Tho author
Is able to clear up all the complications
of his heroine's life and to leave her
with happiness as her lot, in still an
other world, that OF contentment
Jennie's story Is varied and thrilling. 1t
Is sensational but not yellow.
