poor, how prayer solves everyday problems, how prayer will help you. THE JEW AND AMERICAN
 IDEALS"
 By John Spargo. Harper Brothers.
 Publishers, New York City.
 Says Spargo. the author of. the in- teresting book. "The Jew and Amer. ican 1deals:"
 Anti Semitism is at all times and In all places inseparably fused with the reactionary movement in general and to oppose 1t is to serve the cause of progress. Many of my per sonal friends took the protocols" seriously, and people who had read my books on bolshevism asked whether it was true that bolshevsm was 8 Jewish movement. I realized that there was need of short pre- sentation of the facts. No Jew knew that I was even contemplating such task; no Jew was consulted about it; no Jew heard of it until after the manuscript was in the publish CTS hands. I am quite as much op- posed to all other attempts to divide our citizenship along racial or relig- ious lines"
 The author of "Bolshevism" and 'The Greatest Failure in All His tory" has analysed the course of the anti Semitic movement in recent years in Europe and in America, par ticularly with regard to It's relation to reactonism, of which Mir. Spargo says anti -Semitism is always cor ollary and a symptom. The origin and circulation of the notorious Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion and the activities of the Russian, Mus, responsible for their recent ap- pearance, are here exposed
 THE SEVENTH ANGEL"
 By Alexander Black. Harper Broth
 CTS, Publishers, New York City.
 With vividness and with avidity, Alexander Black, author of The Great Desire" again comes before his hundreds of readers with thrilling, insistent theme, In his new book en- titled "The Seventh Angel
 The author of The Great Desire" has taken a question--should woni . an reveal to her dearest friend the fact of past mistake?--as the basis of the story which he works out in this new novel against a background of the worldwide spirit of unrest. Ann Forrest returns from France with her warfound friend. Irmo Kane. She comes back to the United States with high expectations of finding a changed world, while Irma Kane, who had gone to France to shut out a love catastrophe, brings strongly fortified confidence that even q girl who has made a profound mistake can begin life over. The crisis in their relations is reachai when Irma feels compelled to confess to Ann the errors she has coni- mitted. and when Ann, with liberal theories concerning the duties of compassion, has to see the man she loves apparently on the point of marrying her long friend, The back ground of "The Seventh Angel IS suggested by the title from Revela- tions. It was the seventh angel $ vial that precipitated the plague of confusion. The personal drama ot the narrative unfelds itself against the confusion and unrest of the pe- riod since the war, and with its reis and reactionaries, it's strikes and it's big business. 1t struggles for change and its equally passionate searchers for reverting peace. The attitude of the supposed narrator, an elder ly watcher of the turmoil and of the sex anxieties, is revealed when le declares that Columbus set good example by being radical in his geography and conservative in. his navigation.
