TEN YEARS NEAR THE GERMAN
FRONTIER; A Retrospect and q
Warning. BY Maurice Francis
'Egan, former United States minis
ter to Denmark. Illustrated. New
York: George II. Doran Company.
TIME crown of Maurice Francis
Egan's ten-year service as
minister from the United
States to the court of Dem
mark was the acquisition of the Nir-
gin Islands bys this country And II
is this prime objective that sets the
pattern and colors the design of the
rich retrospect in hand. Upon its sur
face this story spreads a hundred
vivid pictures of the ceremonial life
of the Danish court. And beneath this
outer layer the writer sketches. on
the one hand, the finely sincere sim
plicity of this court, it's friendliness.
it's homeliness. On the other hand the
studies, more minute in treatment,
deal with the diplomatic ins and, outs
Of plan and counter-plan that con-
verge, habtually, upon this meeting
house of Europe. And underneath it
all Mr.. Egan pictures the fear thar
haunts Denmark--the fear of seizure
and absorption by Germany, a process
already begun in the provinces of
Slesvig and Holstein. And along with
this delineation of a thoroughly ap
prehensive and frightened Denmark
is the self-ravelation of very wide
awake minister from the United
States, who sees clearly that d Ger
man Denmark must not have a neigh
borhood house alongside the United
islands. This is the paramount fact
that stands clear here amid these in
innate and urbane views of the social
and political life at the court of Dem
mark. Innumerable personalities ap-
pear here in an amazing life-likeness
--men and women about whom all
the rest of the world is naturally
curious and keen. And all of these
are presented in such directness and
friendliness that one. Immediately is
of the group. Curiously-and GER
tainly without design on his part
this minister commands our chief
interest. We follow this suave and
nnocent-seeming American with the
sharpest enjoyment over the way he
does it, over the pure Irishry Of him
and over the adroitness of his
straight and simple course 1t is a
record whose political significance in
its German interpretations is s sub
stantial as its picturesque person.
ality is delightful.

THE BRITISH NAVY IN BATTLE. BY
Arthur H. Pollen. Illustrated.
New York: Doubleday. Page & Co.
This writer appears to have reached
that high point in expert knowledge
where it is possible for him, upon oc-
casion, to release himself in part
from the pure technicalities Of his
subject in order that he may bring
certain of it's dominant features with
in the understanding of the average
intelligence. This study, therefore, of
the British navy during the past four
years of critical activity commends
itself to the general reader as we'll as
to him who possesses special training
for a seizure of its substance. Mr.
Pollen opens his work with a look
backward on the four years Of war,
a period that saw four distinct crises
in British naval operations and out
look These sum. in effect, to q com.

concept of naval command and STRAIT
