Diplomacy
It's Development Traced by
D. P. Heatley

rHE movement of diplomacy away
from the cloistered secrecies Of
Machiaveli and Metternich to-
ward day Of "open covenants openly
arrived at" is one of the outstanding
features in the area Of international
policies of to-day. President Wilson's
phrase Is q good one-wo must grant
him some laudable deeds and utter
ances-and the present status Of Eu-
rope and other corners Of the world,
with the ghosts Of old compacts covert
ly connivcd at still coming forth to
assume semblances Of evil realities,
accentuates the need of honesty in
chancelleries. Yet the drift Of diplo-
macy Is undeniably with the tide that
has set in toward the composition Of
state papers and the text of inter
national relations under an open-door
sclicy.

Edinburgh, adds a valuable book to

Yet he Is, all in all, singularly just. One

A Good Sea Yarn
The Middle Passage Tells
Of the Old Slave Trade

& NY ONE who likes a good sea
~ story should read The Middle
Passage, by L. Frank Tooker
published by the Century Company
The story deals with the old slave days,
the Middle Passage being the most
dangerous Of the various routes taken
by the slave traders in the voyage
from the Guinea coast to America. Ac-
cident brings David Lunte, boy with
the blood Of adventure running strong
in his veins, on board a SLAYER that
makes the middle passage Design, the
purpose to even scores with the cap
tain, who had mistreated him, takes
David back to the Blight of Benin to
run once more the middle passage.
Yet another voyage finds him in com
mand Of a lcaky schooner carrying
arms to a South American revolution.
The schooner is intended to sink, and
does so, with interesting adventures
ensuing.
In fact. David Luntc Is an engaging
young scoundrel. There is no reason
in the world why any one should like
him or think him anything except q
rufian without redeeming quality.
Yet one cannot help liking him. And
this must be because there is a girl
in the book who believes in him and
David seems to be always struggling
to Justify her belief. He does so at
last Even her father, who has been
against him from the beginning, has to
acknowledge that there is some good
in David, and the young man decides
that he has had enough of adventure
and becomes an honest, Codfearing
sailor.
Mr. Tooker knows the sea and knows
how to put the favor OF 1t in his tales.
He knows sailing ships and he knows
men and women. he has put them all
in this book In most acceptable man
ner. 1t is rattling good yarn.

TN EE second volume of Professor
4 John Bach McMaster's work
The United States in the World
War, just published by D. Appleton

qualities which entitle the author to a
place among the most DISTINGUISHED
American historians. Scholarly and
impartial, it is also forceful and vivid.
1t Is masterpiece Of selection and
compression. The events from April,
1918, to the rejection of the peace
treaty by the Senate last March are
described in a volume of 500 pages;
yet it is difficult to point to single
important omission of fact.
Professor McMaster pursues the
method which is familiar to readers
of his History Of the People OF the
United States. He let's the facts of

ShopIifter Gets Away
With Lamp and Table

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Virginia
Lewis, described by the police as the
worlds heavyweight shoplifter,"
was arrested in her rooms and turn
ed over to the state on charges pre-
ferred by local furniture company.
Detectives Denver Mitchell and Ed
Smith went to the rooms Of Virginia
Lewis and there found, it is alleged,
furniture valued at $1,000 that had
been stolen, it was charged, from
the loading dock Of the company.
Virginia Lewis, who has been in
police court many times, told the
police that the articles were given to
her by an employee. She said she
could pick the man out If she were
taken to the store. The police &C
copied this challenge, but after she
had scanned the faces of all the
stores help she was unable to iden-
tify the man.
The police theory Is that Virginia
Lewis had to have the assistance of
confederate who was familiar with
the methods on the loading docks
The missing articles included $500
rug, floor lamp, table and a Nor
riS chair
