"HE announcement of Doubleday,
Page e. Co. that they have be-
come a partner in the firm of
William Heinemann, London, marks a
noteworthy event in the publishing his
tory of the United States and Great
Britain. This house was founded by
Mr.. Heinemann in 1898. Mr.. Sydney
S. Pawling soon Joined him and the
business was conducted successfully by
these two partners until the death Of
Mr.. Hcinemann last October. Mr.. Paw
ling invited Doubleday, Page e. Co. 20
join him and become his partner: and
an agreement to this effect has now
been made. Both houses may be ex-
pected to profit by the opportunities
for wider output offered by their CO.
operation.
Many famous authors have at one
time or another appeared in the Hene>
mann list. Robert Louis Stevenson and
Rudyard Kipling were among the first
names. H. G. Wells as a young man
offered the Arm the manuscript of his
nrst Dook, The Time Machine, and
Joseph Conrad brought The Nigger of
the Narcissus for publication. Mr..
Heinemann was a friend and admirer
Of Whistler and published the artists
work, The Gentle Art of Making Enc
mics. Israel Zangwill, Hall Caine and
Harold Frederic are other authors who
we're introduced to the English public
through the house of Hencmann.

ISLANDS AND THEIR MISTER Els. BY
A. Hyatt Verril. Published By Dufield
e. Co. *l.7s.
TINE romance Of islands is pro
verbal. The very word immedi
ately suggests pirates, savages
buried treasure, strange beasts and
birds, rich tropical vegetation. The
scene of the greatest boys adventure
story, Treasure Island, is laid on g
little isle surrounded by the booming
sea and far rem owed from any large
body Of land. When Tom Sawyer and
his youthful fellow conspirators de.
cided to turf pirates they went off to
Jackson's Island, in the Mississippi,
to ply their nefarious calling.
Mr.. Verrill takes us through all
kinds Of islands: volcanic islands
coral islands and plain dirt islands
His imaginary tours range from
Greenland to Ceylon. Equipped with
thorough knowledge of the forma-
tion and characteristics of islands, he
is an instructive and interesting guide.
The following colorful descriptive pas
sage conveys a vivid picture of the
beach of a tropical island:
Here and there irregular masses of
vivid scarlet mark the presence of
singing sponges; to one side stands a
cup-sponge of soft brown like a giants
goblet six feet in height; emerald
mauve, lilac, yellow, red and blue rose
corals grow everywhere; immense
terra-cotta colored starfsh crawl slow
ly about; huge deep-purple and black
sea-urchins nestle amid the corals; gi-
gantic sea anemones Of every conceiv-
able color spread their gorgeous ten
tacles like flowers from the crevices
among the other growths; the long
scarlet and white antenna of clawless
lobster protrude from his lair; snake
like spotted moray wriggles aimlessly
about; schools Of rainbow tinted fishes
Of strange shapes fit in and out among
the weeds like bright-hued birds in a
forest, and loathsome pot-bellied oc-
tepus pulls himself along by his suck
er-clad tentacles and changes color like
chameleon as he proceeds"

IMMIGRATION AND THE FUTURE. BY
Frances kellor. Published by the George
II Doran Company

Doran Company.
TINE war created q moratorium
in relation to our immigration
problem. Tho belligerent gov
ernments naturally refused to
permit the departure Of prospective
soldiers and workmen. The tide of
foreign guests that had been pouring
IN upon US in increasing volume for
many years suddenly stopped. Since
the armistice emigration has far ex-
ceeded immigration, so far as America
is concerned. There has been great
exodus to the central and eastern Eu-
ropean states, where the returning
emigrant's American dollars make him
a millionaire among his poverty
stricken fellow countrymen.
But this condition is only temporary
Already we hear of European ports
crowded with refugees eager to come
to America Our old immigration prob.
lem will soon return, with added COM
rlexitics arising out of the present
;.hnormal situation of Europe. Now,
as Miss Kelor is at some pains to point
out. we have never faced this problem
intelligently and scientifically. We have
allowed immigrants to drift in as they
would, without inquiring too closely
into their past records or future pros
poets. This somewhat unreasoning
good nature alternated with equally
unjust outbursts of race prejudice. IF
a foreigner acquired unfavo2able no.
toriety Of any kind we were only too
apt to lump all aliens in sort Of in
discriminate lynch-law condemnation.
Miss Kellor pleads earnestly for an
abandonment of this easy-going, slip
shod attitude. She believes that our
first requirement is mass of care
fully arranged and correlated facts.
upon which we may base reasoned, SCI
entifio conclusions. In this connection
she outlines the following constructive
suggestion for bureau of immigration
research:
For immigration Research
We require first of all an
enormous amount Of data from both
American and foreign sources. Before
a practical use can be made of such
data we need to have them tested, ana
lyzed, compared and supplemented by
an impartial and thoroughly trust
worthy body of men, in order that the
data shall be free from any taint of
propaganda or from any suggestion OF
-
pears at the present time to be no or
ganized body of men who can under
take this work, for such bodies as exist
are either part Of other organizations
which could not do otherwise than
make this subject the tail to their larger
kite, or they are committed to methods
and policies which do not leave them
free to give an unbiased judgment.

SCENES FROM THE COURT OF PETER
THE GREAT. From the diary OF Fried
rich Korb. Edited by Dr. f. L. Glaser.
Published by Nicholas l.. Brown. 81
DETER THE GREAT was one of
the maddest rulers who ever wore
crown. Subject to psychopathic
fits, the possession of absolute power
robbed him of all self-restraint and
enabled him to crafty al his widest
whims and passions. He mingled weird
buffoonry with outbursts Of ferocious
cruelty. At the same time this mad,
brutal tyrant was something of a
genius. Introducing western European
customs and practices with ruthless
energy, he fairly dragged his unwilling
subjects out Of their Oriental sloth and
passvity and may fairly be said to
have transformed Russia from an Ash
attic into European power.
very intimate picture Of Peter and
his court Is given in this diary of an
Austrian diplomat. Strange, splendid
barbaric scenes rise before our eyes:
Peter chopping Of the heads of his re-
bellious guards with his own hands
the gorgeous religious ceremonies of
the Greek Orthodox Church; the Czar
flying into an uncomfortable rage at q
state dinner and striking out among
his guests right and left. There are
also some interesting sidelights on
Russian life during the sixteenth CEN
tury. The following incident illus
trates rather forcibly the relative posi-
tion of men and women:
December 25, 1698-A mother plot
ted with her daughter the death of her
husband, and the cruel deed was per-
petrated by two murdcrers hired for
thirteen kreuzers (about IS cents)
Both these women suffered the penalty
due to the crime, which they confessed
and were buried UP to the neck in the
earth. The mother bore the intense
cold until the third day; the daughter
survived until the sixth. When dead
the corpses were taken out Of the holes
and hanged, heads downmost, to the
feet of the two assassins before men
toned, who had perished by the halter
This penalty only attaches to the mur-
| der Of husband by his wifcl Men who
| slay their wives are not punished with
such rigor-nay, very often the crime
is compounded for merely with money

Strength Of Racial Ties

"The immigrant is met at Ellis
Island by a racial missionary who
speaks his language, and who, having
the advantage of knowing his friends
at home, at once establishes cordial re-
latons. The immigrant is then lodged
IN a hotel where the atmosphere re-
minds him of his native country. Thus.
the impressions which he receives con-
corning America come to him first
through Old World memories and ex-
periences. He is next introduced to a
padrone who secures work for him
under racial boss. Then the immi-
grant is taken to a racial colony, he is
given racial newspaper, and through
these he is introduced to racial mer-
chants and bankers. During all this
time it rarely has been sugge sted to
him that much Of his future success
and happiness may depend upon his
learning the English language. Thus,
In close contact with his own people. he
lives his life in America. Should he
wish to return to Europe, his racial
bankers will arrange for his passage.
and his countrymcn will, in the Ian
guage of his forefathers, bid him god
speed Should fate decree that he
should die in America, a racial church
man will officiate at his funeral. his
countrymcn will attend the obseouics.
racial undertaken will see that he i.
decently buried, and his family. in
time, will receive check from a racial
benefit society"
Many Americans view with mixture
OF alarm and Indignation this closc
connection between many foreign colo
ines and the countries of their oripin.
This attitude finds expression in pro
rosals to restrict or suppress the for
cign-languagc press, to forbid the use
Of other languages than English. TO
register aliens, to make cit!zenship
compulsory. Miss Kellor does not
share this viewpoint. She does not be &.
Iievc that Americanism, any moro than
any other good thing can be impaired
TO man by hitting him over tho head
with club. Cooperation and persuasion,
rhc feels, are more potent instruments
OF assimilation than suppression and

TREASURER GETS BAD CHECKS

Numbers of people have given
County Treasurer Harry L. Neil bad
checks in payment Of taxes and the
matter has grown to the point where it
is causing the treasurer consider2 bic
worry and annoyance.
No less than six checks, each bear
ing the statement, insufficient funds
were returned To the treasurer last
Wednesday by a York county bank
and information is, that hardly. day
passes without one or more checks be-
ing returned.
This condition is growing steadily
worse" said the treaSurer, and some
thing is going to have to be done
about it. We can't tolerate anything
like that.
Some tax payers come here and
give checks in payment of taxes. Then
they are turned down by the bank on
which they arc issued. | have my
stenogra phei' sit down and write them
stating that the check has been turned
dowf and asking them to please come
and make the matter right. Many
times I get no replies to my. letters:

the request only to have the check
returned again with Il second "insuf-

charge of evading the draft. She
claimed that Campbell represented
that hr wanted the money for men
higher up and afterward gave her the
name Of an officer 10 whom he said he
had turned il over; but she had for
gotten the name. She was under the
impression al the time that the money
was TO go TO one Of the members Of the
court that was to review the case. The
committee had information that on
February 49,. Of last year. about ten
davis after the date on which Mrs.
Bergdoll claimed that her son had paid
over the money to Major Campbell,
Major Campbell had deposited Si,5OO
with WasSerman Brothers,, of the New
York stock exchange. and later he had
deposited $4,000 more; but the books
Of WasSerman Brothers showed that
the entire amount had been wiped OUT
by. the end of June. Pressed by Rep
rcsentative Luhring ;CRepublcan) Of
Indiana, Mrs. Bergdoll said she had not
told the committee of the transaction
before because she had forgotten it.
Grover. she added. recently had urged
her to tell Of it. Presenting a stack Of
ledger sheets. Joseph f. Houlahan
bookkeeper for Wasserman Brothers,
told the committee the records showed
that Campbell had an account with the
firm in 1919, which had been closed
prior TO reOpenng the larger one in
1920. Of the $500 placed with the
firm last year all was wiped out, with
s415 still due by Campbell.
