Mr Kellogg is at great pains to vim
dlcate Mr. Hoover from the familiar
charge of being an "Englishman." He
points out that Hoover's work took him
all over the world, that he spent only
small part of his time in London and
that he made frequent visits to the
united States. He always maintained a
warm Interest in his alma mater, Lee
land Stanford, and delivered a series
OF lectures on mining engineering there
at one time. 1t is interesting to learn
that Mr.. Hoover upholds the need for
theoretical as against practical prep
aratlon in his own field. He believes
that an engineer with good scientific
training can very quickly pick up prac-
teal experience in his actual work.
The Belgian Experience
Mr. Kellogg was closely associated
with Mr.. Hoover in the monumental
work of Belgian relief, and his chapter
on this subject is perhaps the best in
the book. The mere feeding of ten
million human beings was a colossal
task. Moreover, Mr.. Hoover's path was
beset with innumerable diplomatic OBJ
stacles

no LAS Demons and Fairies as Well as the Sim Fem

British military and naval circles was
opposed to Letting any food enter ter
ritory occupied by the Germans. The
more ruthless German militarists, head
ed by Count Reventlow, wished to
starve the Belgians in order to force
the Allies to lift the blockade of the
German ports. The German military
authorities in Belgium and France
treated the relief workers with sus-
picion and hostility and placed every
possible obstacle in their way.
Yet Hoover went on SUCCESSFULLY, sup
the obstructionist tactics of the GerS
mans for the sake of the Belgian
children, who must be saved from
starvation. What he thought Of Ger
man rule in Belgium is very we'll
summed up in his reply to the proposal
that he should cooperate with two
former German officials there in ar
ranging food relief for Germany after
the armistice.
His Famous Message
"Mr. Hoover's personal compliments
and request to go to hell. If Mr..
Hoover has to deal with Germany for
the Allies it will at least not be with
such a precious pair of scoundrels" b.,
AS Food Administrator in the United
States Mr.. Hoover achieved remarkable
results through a system of voluntary
cooperation quite unlike the dictator
ships set up in the European belligerent
countries. The author describes the
wheatless and meatless times in the
United States in some detail, and then
takes up Mr. Hoover's most far-reach-
ing achievement-his direction of Euro
pean food relief after the armistice.

"She Did It"

"And one day the wife herself fell in
the fire and got great many burns, and
they said that it was she did it.
$50 they went to the blessed well
Tubbermacduagh, near Kinvara, and
they were told to 60 there every Friday
for twelve weeks, and they said seven
prayers and gathered seven stones
every time. And since then she
doesn't come to the house, but the little
girl goes out and meets her mother at
faery bush. And sometimes she
speaks to her there, and sometimes in
her dreams. But no one else but her
own little girl has seen her of late
The work includes two scholarly es-
says by W. B. Yeats, which constitute
curious contrast to Lady Gregory s
stories, set down in the simple Ian
guage of the common people. Mr..
Yeats displays a strong tendency
towards mysticism and looks with a
sympathetic eye upon the beliefs and
legions of his countrymen. He inter-
prets the visions described by Lady
Gregory in terms of Blake and Sweden
borg. He compares the supposed
achievements of the Irish seers and
"wse women" with the testimony given
at the trial of witches and wizards in
the British Isles during the seven
teenth century. He examines the
cases of hypnotism, telepathy, spirit
naturalization, etc, in the light Of
similar psychical phenomena in other
countries.
The rich imaginative and poetic vein
in Irish character is strikingly brought
out in this study of Celtic folklore. To
read Lady Gregory's book is to leave
the modern workaday world of law and
science and step into a classic or
medieval fairyland, where nothing hap
pens according to rule.
