tremely lovable as well as human.

Modern Version of
Plymouth History

BRADFORDS HISTORY OF PLYM-
OUTH PLANTATION. Put into
modern English by Harold Paget.
f. p. Dutton & Co.
American history is so new that we
like to push our forefathers as far
back into the past as we can, and this
may be responsible for the effort to
rewrite Bradford In modern English.
In certain ways Il is justiflable. His
language is more remote from ours
than that of the Elizabethan dram
atists. He was religious man at
a time when religion looked backward
rather than forward. He lived remote
from the main current Of literature
and there Is always q tendency or
isolated groups to cling to older forms
of the language, as is shown by the
Dutch in the Transvaal and the
French In Ca'iada
For this reason II has seemed ad-
visable to dress the doughty magis-
trate in modern dress. Mr.. Paget has
performed the task of modernizing
with fair success, and by retaining
the sentence structure he retains
much of the quaintness of the original.
He has not succeeded in making the
passages referring to the difficulties
with Allerton and the Adventures
much clearer. but that is perhaps a
hopeless task.

I Canadians. To find out what troops
held a certain sector or line Of front a
student would have to consult some
other work to find out what forces held
up the fianks of the Canadian front.
Gen. Monash's volume Is also limited
in it's scope. since 1t is concerned with
the Australian Army Corps in the last
six months of the war in France alone,
nothing being set down as to the glori-
Gus records of the Anzacs at Gallipoli
for example. To the extent of its
limits Gen. Monash's story is complete,
well written in military fashion and
extremely interesting.
This work has local interest, since
in the chapter on the great operation
beginning September 81, 1918. he de-
scribes the battle operations Of our own
Twenty seventh Division, commanded
by Major-Gen. Organ. 1t will be re-
membered that on that day the Twenty
seventh Division was held up by the
enemy, and this threw Gen. Monash's
plans all out of shape
He explains that this was caused by
the inexperience and impetuosity of the
American troops, who in their desire to
take their objective neglected to COM
plete the "mopping up" of the ground
over which they had advanced, with
the result that the Germans came out of
hiding places behind the Twenty-sev-
enth Division and had our men sur
rounded for time. The whole story
of the Australian and New Zealand
Army Corps has yet to be written.

the men who aided Sir William in his
greatest ccomplishment--the creation
Of that great institution across our
border which is always referred. to as

Few general readers Of to-day are
unfamiliar with the broad outlines OF
the life of this American, who. after a
varied and successful career on various
railroads of our middle West, went to
Canada in 1881, engaged to begin the
construction of the c. p. r.. and who
eventually became one of the greatest
of railroad men of our time as we'll as
very distinguished collector Of art
and an authority on Oriental porce-
lains. 1t is not in these broad out
lines that this text holds anything new
for the reader. Rather Is his reward
to be found In the many personal anec-
dotes of Sir Williams life. In these the
charm of the book lies.
Repression must be exercised against
the desire to quote the many tales Of
his practical jokes or his views on art
which were much more original than
his actual work as painter. and OF
his rare genius as railroad man,
station designer. hotel builder and as
an advertiser of the thing dearest to
his heart-the c. p. r.
For Americans there Is to be found
an unusual fillip Of interest in Sir
Williams career as builder of the
railway in Cuba during the American
occupation, when Sir William had in
innate relations with Ma jor Gen. Leon
ard Wood and President Roosevelt.
His method of overcoming the prohi-
bitions of the Foraker act against
building a railroad by private ENTER
prise was Enthusiastically original.
He also recommended to Gen. Wood
the adoption Of the Torrens system Of
land registration used In the western
provinces of Canada, and, according to
his biographer, he wrote the Cuban
railway law, based on the Canadian
model although Gen. Wood had In
tended to use that of Texas as the
basis for the islands railway laws.

In these two volumes students of the
military campaigns of the world war
may gain partial ideas and facts as to
the purely military efforts of the Cana
dian Dominion and the Australian
Commonwealth in that great struggle.
We say partial ideas and facts, since
Capt. Steele's text is solely concerned
with the fighting done by the Canadian
troops from the time they arrived in
France until the day of the armistice.
Again this historian is chiefly con-
cerned with the work of the infantry,
and only mentions other arms when IL
is necessary to make the story Of the
action complete. The very necessary
and highly important n-combatant
arms, which are three to one to the
men on the fighting line, are put quite
in the background.
Thus the text is merely bald record
of Canadian battle operations, and will
be of use to students of the military
operations of the war to this very
limited extent. Nowhere, for example,
does this writer mention troops of any
other force as cooperating with the

do. Van Horne withdrew and hast
ened to the Cuban who was Gen.
Woods confidential adviser on such
matters. He unfolded to him his idea
of a revocable license, and intimated
that If he and Gen. Wood could devise
nothing better he was willing to con-
tinue construction on it. These tao
tics were successful. The Governor
took counsel with his adviser and de-
cided to grant the revocable license"
One of Sir Williams humorous vani-
ties was the curious delight he took
"in impressing the beholder by an ex-
hibition Of exceptional powers" In
what may be called mind reading,
which he was enabled to do "by COM

Englishmen are proverbial for taxi

Is true is proved by the History of
the Peace Conference OF Paris. The
three volumes weigh nearly twenty
pounds. 1t Is issued by the Institute
Of international Affairs. This insti-
tute has branches in both the United
states and Great Britain. 1t makes
an attempt to distribute the blame for
it's productions equally upon both
branches OF the Anglo-Saxon race
This attempt is only partly successful
The bulk of the contributors are Eng

list with Lord Eustace Percy and Rear
Admiral K. w. Richmond is painfully
snubbed His hosts do not bother to
introduce him properly.
For example, there is Professor J.
IT. Shotwell He is mentioned as on
the staff of the University of Column
bia. Harvard University is dealt with
more favorabiy. They get that name
right. Our John Bull friends know
that Harvard University was named
after Elihu Harvard. who founded
New Haven. 'rhey do not know that
Columbia University was named after
Dominicio Columbia, a Chicago dry
goods merchant. 1t is possible that
they conceive Of Professor Shotwell

However, there is no attempt made to
