PEKIN SURVEYED
Book Gives a Key for the I'm,
locking of China's
Secrets

Long before the Washington Confer
encc had been visionch even as a re-
mote possibility, John Hay. McKin
ley's great Secretary Of State, made one
of those utterances that seem inspired.
THE storm center of the world has
gradually shifted to China" he said,
about twenty three years ago. Who
ever understands that mighty empire
socially, politically, economically, re-
ligiously. has key to world politics
for the next five centuries"
When Hay thus was peering into the
future, modern social survey Of China,
or even of one Chinese city would have
been impossible. 1t would have been
almost impossible a scant ten years ago.
Now. as never before, China is chalv :
longing the attention Of the thoughtful.
It Is an interest far broader, far more
calculating. than the world attention
that focused on China during the Boxer
tragedy.
For this new interest there is need
for accurate information, for exact
facts. 4 highly important start in that
direction is the recent survey Of Pekin,
made by Sidney D. Gamble, assisted by
John Stewart Burgess. It was spon-
sorcd by the Princeton University Cen
ter in China aud the Prkin Y. NJ. G. A.
The results are set forth in 'Pekin: A
Social Survey" from the press Of
George II. Doran Company.
The entire social fabric of the North :
prn capital is analysed with wealth of
detail. There are chapters dealing with
the city's population. its health, educa
ton. commerce. recreation and other
features of its bustling life. Maps, dia
grams and illustrations give graphic
aud to the interesting text. The book is
indispensable to an adequate library on
the Far East.

work for another character which can
be expected to step forth on the stage
soon in the little untamed daughter of
the temperamental bandit. And as
Barry's two friends, Satan, his unbeat-
able horse, and his wolf hound, Black
Bart, are still alive, fictionally, the
fourth of the series is sure to come.

BRILLIANTLY UNREAL
Sadleir's "PriUilege," a Ro-
nance of Changing
England

Michael Sadleir's privilege" (G. p.
Putnam's Sons) received so many flat
tering notices in England where it first
appeared and Mr.. Sadlcir has written
so appreciative an introduction for the
American edition that Il reader ap-
pronches IL with high anticipation.
Mr.. Sadleir explains in the introduc-
tion that 'it is merely story, born of
the strange allurement Of passing great
ness, which sets an imaginary love
drama against the tapestry OF our
turbulent and changing England" and
he disClaims the intention of teaching
lesson or urging political creed
Therefore it must be accepted as a ro-
mantle novel andsjudgcd as such. One
British critic was so deeply impressed
to speak of it without cxaggeraton.
Those familiar with Joseph Herge-
sheimer's finely wrought literary
mosaiCs would not be unduly impressed
by Privilege" It's literary manner
reminds of Hergcsheimcr. and the coldly
intellectual way in which the plot is
constructed and the figures nre moved
about to the ultimate COnsummation Of
the romance is also suggestive of
Hergesheimer. This is only another
way Of saying that the book lacks
warmth and humanity.
1t is the story of the decline of a
privileged family, opening with the
death of its head in old age. unmourned
even by his own children. The heir is a
sensualist who is finally killed by the
brother Of n girl whom he had wronged.
The second son succeeds to the property
and the title. He is fanatical aristo-
crat, who does his best to restore the
prestige Of the family as member Of
the privileged caste. He marries
voluptuous woman who falls in love
with his brother, and when he dis
covers 1t. proposes that the attentions
of the brother be accepted quietly
rather than have scandal. The hus-
band finally kills himself, when his
sister, who had married Hungarian
Prince, is discovered in communication
with the enemy from London. 1t will
be seen that the period of the story
covers the years of the war. The third
son. the one with whom his sister in
law is in love, then comes into the
property. He sells the family estates,
goes to Italy and when he has estab-
lishcd his citizenship sends for the
widow of his brother and the story ends
with their wedding night. The book
is as cold and as brilliant as n diamond,
but in spite of its plausibility the whole
story seems unreal.
