; am sure that within a year fine express sions of these concepts will be found within the art galleries, the great halls of public libraries, public squares, the large city cemeteries, indeed, wherever people are wont to erect statuary as a memento to loved ones. Where will be found marbles and bronzes; all typifying deeds of vaIor and heroism, battle scenes, marine, aviation and battlefield subjects, all done after lofty ideals from Praxiteies to the artists of today. I doubt not that nearly a new school of artists will come of this war, so vast is the present per spective, as all see it, so great the field, so fine the subjects in their various in dividualities.
 No such incentive to international eri- deavor to test of the blood of the ele- ments of present day civilization, as ex- pressed in it's several states, to the tal- ent of mankind, has heretofore been given as the story of this war and out of this test will come, at least, some of the greatest sculpturs that the human mind has thought of and the human hand has executed. Of course,i the course, 1 the area of this performance, of intel lectual initiative in the particulars of subjective and objective expression will be that of the earth itself, and the years of a century will not be long enough to 1 exhaust ideals to weary the brain ol | to tire the hand of artistic effort, that will be eternally expressive of the genius !, of the war, permanently proclamative ol it's meaning.
 After all, I think a memorial of this : or any other subject should come of g single purpose, a thought only of on' subject, the tribute to the deed or thu tdeeds of those who have done the things to be memorislized. the things that have 
 figured so greatly in the story of th' war. in the important affairs of it's life in that tragedy that meant so much to ar
 aggregate humanity, so much to ou ~ouasi-civilization. These monuments these memorials, then, should be as mucl subjective as they should be objective ex

 Nothing bizzare. nothing without the genius of the war or at variance with the theory of proper recognition of those who made the supreme sacrifice. of those who endured the horrors of the war, of those who dared and died in their own peculiar pursuits in that great struggle; nothing, l say, foreign to the idea of this war. should tarnish the fame of these heroes, or in cheap. tawdry putative expression. mar the memory of those whose valor made vic tory a fact.

 Men of genius like Signor Moretti leave a magnificent legacy to the world in their rare conceptions of art; ennobling subjects exquisiteIy chis- eled; inspiring texts transferred by the sculptor's hand, reveal messages which are rare and beautiful; and the world is better and more lovely to live in, for the gifts made by such matchless gen Illus.

 WHAT WILSON DID AT PARIS"
 By Ray Stannard Baker. Doubleday,
 Page x Co.,, publishers. Garden City, N Y.
 MT. Baker was director of the Press
 bureau of the conference. and therefore he had exceptional opportunities to know what forces. sentiments and pur-
 poses struggled for the mastery in it's decisions and by what methods they fought. And he tells enough to make it plain that the conference was six months battle between the forces of the age-old greed and fear and distrust of Europe, of reactionary convictions. of cynicism and of the bad old methods of~diplomacy and the forces of forward looking idealsm, wealth in humanity, belief in right and justice and demo cratic principles. Wilson, he declares. was the leader of these forces and without him theX would have heef overwhelmed, Of the treaty as it. now stands ho says that it is "a tremendous human document" and adds; -s Tt has in it all the administrative greeds, the fears. the vanities, the petty interest of the nations. It is indeed a terribly naked document it makes one ashamed to read it, for it lays bare so l brazenly the very soul of modern civili- | zaton. And yet it also has in it the | finest aspirations and hopes of the l world, the beginning of world league. | the principles of new colonial policy. 1 the halting initiation of new plan of l adjustment between labor and capital. | It is all there-just like life-for the new world to use as it will. And the aspirations. the hopes. the forward looking. the moral aspects. were all put l there by our American President-and no one else"
 1 Mir. Baker thinks that one important ] reason why President Wilson has not ] had more cordial support for the treaty
 and the league in the United States is ] because The has no gift at all for dram ! atizing events so that people can see and feel them. He can express-and no 1 one better anywhere-what he thinks; I but not what he did, or why or how The author tells good deal also about 1 the tremendous amount of work Will son did in Paris and presents, as an ex- 1 ample, the amazing schedule of single day. It included the receiving and con l ferring with 2 different delegations from almost as many different nations ! guests for luncheon. and the writing | which he did himself. of a sS.5o0 word message calling Congress to meet in l extraordinary session

STATION X


 By G. Mcleod Winsor. J. B. Lippln- colt Company, publishers, Philadelphia Around Station X, the most power full wireless station in the world, hidder on lonely coral island, gathers an in terplanetary drama which stirs the worlo to it's center. The attempt of the Luna rians, who have seized Mars. to gair control of the earth, and the titanic battle, waged by the development ol every known means of warfare, to de eide the future of this planet, makes 8 tale of hair-raising terror and suspense which has an air of verity and pro- rhetic tone which will rivet attention ant interest.
 Signor Marconi, the brilliant Scientist and inventor, thinks that communication with intelligences on the stars, many o1 them much older than this earth, will bt quite possible by the electrical scientists of the future, the interplanetary Ian guage being that of mathematics, whicf must be the same throughout the uni verse.

 The heroine is one of the best studies of a woman Miss Glasgow has ever given us-one who always appears right and is always wrong-the wife and handicap of a man who always appears wrong and is always right One of Angelicas circle once said of her that she kept her figure by climbing over every charity in town
 This is the first novel from Mss Glasgow for three years The result is book of wide interest and strong appeal from one of the foremost lt- erary workmen writing in America.
