TINY TOILERS AND THEIR WORKS. Rv
G.. Glenwood Clark. Published by the
Century Company. $1.75
THE BOOK OF NATURE STORIES. By
II. Waddington SeerS. Published bv
Dodd, Mead & Co. $3.50.
MT WILL be big surprise to many
people, young and old, to learn
something of the community life
OF tie citizens of the insect world.
Mr.. Clark, in his instructive book. re-
veals scores of facts about the lives
of ants, spiders, bees tarantulas and
other folk of whom we know practically
nothing. How they produce food, build
homes and provide clothing, gives ma
terial for many fascinating pages.
Many an insect is still miles ahead
Of US in facts of engineering and home
construction. Father and mother will
get as much pleasure from this book
as will their children.
A splendid mate for the foregoing
is found in Mr.. Seers's beautifully IL
lustrated book. While it devotes some
pages to members of the insect world,
it supplies amplifcation in it's chap
ters on number of the big fellows,
moose, foxes, bears and birds. Com
bining accuracy in scientific statement
with readable prose, the author has
written chapters that are vertiable ad-
ditions to the literature of the animal
kingdom, especially in the field of the
book for the child.

Wilson'S Private Secretary

Turaulty Throws Light on Presidents Steps in
Some Directions but Leaves
Others in Shadow
(L2pp2ncOtt)

, a commission sent by the respective
governments to discuss means for max
ing peace and for establishing a world
court or international tribunal to safe.
guard the peace of the world after tho
close Of the var."
Here, perhaps, was the genesis of
the Presidents "peace without victory"
speech the following winter.
Again, on October 8, 1918, Mr.. Tum-
ulty wrote: II do not know what
your attitude is toward the late Ger
man and Austrian offers. The record
you have made up to this time, how
ever, is so plain that in my judgment
there can be only one answer, and that
is an absolute and unqualified rejection
of these proposals"
These excerpts are taken at ran
dom. There are many others of SINH
lar tenor. 1t would furnish an inter
esting task to a historical investigator
to go through Mr. Tumulty's memo
randa and see how many of them left
traceable effects en- Mr.. Wilson's pol
icy. The number of those which did
may be surprisingly large. There was
Secretary of State in the big State,
War and Navy Department Building
across the way from the White House.
There was a still more intimate and
confidential itinerant Secretary of State
in the person of Colonel House. But
III Mr.. Tumulty's Offices there was a
third Secretary of State, even more
familiar, and surely not the least con-
sequential of the triad.
The Tumulty state papers are The
backbone Of this book, and they have
fortunately been preserved for pos
terity. When the author gets beyond
his own data and writes from other
sources he becomes less impressive.
He borrows Mr.. Creel's account of the
episode of Mr.. Wilson's treatment of
Colonel Roosevelt and General Wood
and repeats Creeps part of it
down to the punctuation points. He
also repeats Creel's blundar of making
the date of Colonel Roosevelt's "Out-
look" article on Belgian neutrality
September %, 1915, instead of Septem-
ber %, 1914. Besides Creel, he uses
uncrltical authorities like Ray Stan
nard Bakers "What Wilson Did at
Paris" Professor William E. Dodds
woodrow Wilson and His Work." A.
u. Howden-Smith's "The Real Colonel
House" and "The Foreign Policy of
Woodrow Wilson, by Professors E. E.
Robinson and Victor J. West.
Where Mr.. Tumulty falls short is in
failing to throw much needed light on
Mr.. Wilson's purposes and activities
at various crises in his administra
ton. The Mexican policy is slurred
over. Some attention is given to pre-
paredness and Secretary Garrison is
censured for declining to hold office
any longer after the President had
abandoned the Garrison army reorgani-
cation plan and surrendered to the
House pacifists headed by Representa-
tive Hay. Why didn't Mr.. Wihon put

Whistler's Cosmos

The numerous quarrels, like the one
with Leyland, are laughable at this dis
tance-anl leave rather distressful
taste in the mouth. There can be no
question about there having been much
ego in Whistler's Cosmos. He thought
too much of himself and too little of
others. Why? The obvious answer is
that he was born so, but there is an
opposite suggestion in a saying of
George Moore's, cited in one of the
posthumous essays in James Huneker's
recently published "Variations." Moore
remarks that if Whistler had been
fifty pounds heavier he might have
painted as we'll as Velasquez. There
is something in the nominally incon-
gruous aspersion. Velasquez has the
power Of force of nature, the power
and the ease. Whistler had nothing
like his strength, and there are indi-
cations in this book of the tremendous
labor that went to the making of his
works. Perhaps it was some obscure
inner consciousness of this that urged
on the manifestations of his restless
ego, as though he were climber" in
the temple of fame instead of one who
could take his presence there for
granted. Degas, in a we'll remembered
rap, hit upon this weakness as of one'
not quite secure of his position. "My
friend" he said, when Whistler was
talking too smartly and too much,
"you behave as if you had no talent"
Which was silly, of course. It was
delectable Of him to acknowledge the
award of a second class medal with
his second class thanks, but of the
whole business Of his place In the
world we get, vaguely, the impression
that he was too conscious.

somewhat humorless perspective, as
sign him sort Of pontifical status.
People who are not sealed of the
Whistlerian tribe are "outsiders.' y

Protection of Labor

THE INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION
OF LABOR. by BouteIe ellsworth
Lowe Published by tho Macmillan Com
pany. $3.50.
A S THE leading industrial countries
of the world have become moro and
more interdependent upon each other
the protection of labor has become an
international problem. A country with
low labor standards may gain an unfair
advantage over country which at
tempts to secure reasonable hours Of
labor and adequate wages for it's citi
zcns. Mr.. Lowe traces the development
of the movement for international labor
protection from its humble beginnings
to the elaborate conventions which have
been adopted in this connection by the
League of Nations. His work is char
acterized by careful scholarship and a
thorough knowledge of the subject, and
it is especially welcome because so little
has been published along this line in
America.

aud penneli. Illustrated. Octave, PIP
Xxi, 5ss. Philadelphia: j. B. Lippfncott
Company.
I-HIS is an invaluable book, one
which will prove to be of the
deepest interest to both the ar
tist and the layman. Having
produced some years ago their formal
biography Of Whistler, the Pennells
might seem to have done their duty by
the man they idolize, but they were
surely well advised to make this fur
fher contribution to his history. 1t is
composed of the notes they took when
they were from day to day Boswellizing
him for their biographical purpose.
These notes have since been amplifed
by consultation with friends and all
search. The result is triumph of that
Kind of portraiture which literally
places a man before us in his habit as
he lived, intimate, palpitating with fol-
Oles as we'll as virtues, wholly cred
ible human creature. One of the best
things about this portrait, too, is its
atmospheric quality, the manner in
which it reproduces not only the linea-
ments of the sitter but the traits of
his comrades and the nature of their
common environment.
The environment is enormously i'm
portant. Whistler being what he was,
a picturesque personality as we'll as a
remarkable artist, the spirit of his
career is missed If the biographer fails
to dramatize the countless little things
which interested him. The stories Of
some painters are told almost exclu-
sively in their works. The story of
Whistler, whose destiny it was to be an
object not only Of admiration but Of
amusement, is necessarily told partly

, Amt It strange to see people act ing natural?" says. And the bunch having refused any help from us, we went on our way, and by noon, at one hundred and fifteen above in the shade, we come into Kingman, big mining town on the far edge of Ari- zona, and I want to make a few re- marks about it. I don't know of anything or any place give me a stronger sense of how closely linked up this vast country really is, for all it is spread over such lot of ground.
 We come into it out of valleys where the heat haze floated like a veil between the bleak mountains country that looked like it had noth- ing in it. But, say, it has gold and silver and copper and even diamonds in it! Only you would never guess It from the outside, and believe me, the man who ate the first lobster had nothing on the bravery of the first nrospectors who thought there might be something worth having in those mountains, and went out and looked and found they was right. And you also got to hand it to the fellows who are out there right now working those mines. I don't care how many pod ern machines and so forth they have, they are a brave and strong-heaftea race. It takes a he man to do Joo out there yet.
 When you leave Kingman you get into even more desert country. but Kingman itself is in hourly touch Wlth Wall Street, New York. Why' when I went into the big cool cavern o1 the hotel there I had forgotten there was a Wall Street! Never having done any gambling in it, but always buying outright and preferably Lip- ertv Bonds, at that, why, I'll say,l was never so interested in that we'll Lnown street as was while in the Kingman hotel.
