reported by soldiers for soldiers, and
the whole staff were free.
Complete files of "The Stars and
Stripes" are few, and already it is
next to impossible to get them for love
or money. But many Of the best

who enlisted in May. 1917, and reached
France among the first forty thousand
members Of the A. f. F. When "The
Stars and Stripes" was organized there
fell to him detail new in the history
of warfare. 1t was his duty to travel
from one end of the front to the other
and write each week chronicle of
what he had seen, not for the inforaa-
tion of his superiors, nor for the
watching public at home, but for the
benefit of the troops themselves. Thus
was one soldier designated to describe
the battles to all the others. His ac-
counts deal only with the combat or
ganizations in the A. E. F. and follow
the progress of the doughboy from the
time that the I'd and Sd divisions wen.

until they settled down six months
later in Rhenish Prussia.

In an exceptionally large order for
Mark Twain's works the Harpers have
received this week yet another proof
to add to their already large store of
evidence as to Twain's popularity. To
meet the order they have had to put
to press an almost complete reprint

cloth edition of his books. Among
those that are being reprinted in
largest editions are the immortal

"The Four Horsemen' in England

plement of "The London Times,' there
is great lamentation in that city be-
cause of the long delay in the appear
ancc Of an English translation of
Blasco Ibanez's -Four Horsemen." The
stable, in London, is by Charlotte
Brewster Jordan, and the title OF the
book is simply "The Four Horsemen."
Among other comments "The Times"
reviewer says:
1T is pity that we have had 10
wait so long in this country for an
English translation of Senor Ibanez's
great novel of the war, LOS Cuatro
Jlnetes del Apocalipsis." Now that
the war is over and the emotions Of
the war are undergoing a rapid chem
cal change, this creditable. but obvi-
ous!y American, translation is at last
available. The causes of this delay
are, no doubt, difficulties of time ana
space and deranged mechanism but
the delay is unfortunate, since it finds
English readers in a different state Of
mind from that which the author must
have taken for granted in his public at
the. time of writing. We are quite
sauated with descriptions of the hor-
rors which the four terrible horsemen
brought IN their train; and it is hu-
manly impossible not to turn over
rather quickly pages describing the ex-
citement of a great city on mobiliza-
tion., the point of view of a Prussian
professor before the war; the depart
ure of soldiers, the retreat to the
Marne, the sack Of village by Ger
mans, or visit to trenches and ar
tillery positions. In spite of this. and
