garded his gong there to ranch as
the turning point of his life. His
first books to receive wide hearing
were those which described his hunt
ing trips. 1t was, therefore, natural
that Mr.. Hagedorn should make q pill
grimage in search Of material which
would explain this period in Roose-
velt's life.
Mr.. Hagedorn soon became enam-
ored of his task. He writes with more
than the enthusiasm of the arch
priest of cult. He came to love the
country as his hero had loved 1t and

Of regular army, and he makes a
very good case for the professional
soldier. In tho few and intimate
glimpses given of Moltke's life between

have felt in all it's potency the spell
which the short grass country cast
over Theodore Roosevelt, and cannot
hear the word Dakota without feeling
a stirring in my blood"
| The physical configuration of the
Bad Lands will always remain the
same. Roosevelt saw and recorded the
passing Of the buffalo and the ante
lope. He was primarily more inter-
ested in wild life than in man in the
mass then, as he remained to the end
of his life. The references in his books
to men were rather incidental They
were merely blobs of color in the pio-
ture Of the wild West that he was
| looking for. His was the usual dream
OF Eastern youth, the quest of adven-
ture.
The last frontier has never been
properly recorded. 1t is the phase
which differentiates American life
from that Of any nation, and Roose-
velt's appeal to the imagination of the
Old World lay in his having come from
the terra incognita of cowboy land.
When Roosevelt went to the Little
Missouri River district outlaws of one
sort and another still flourished They
were very picturesque lotsam and
jetsam. but as the pen is mightier than
the sword the memory of most OF
them has perished. The merit Of
Hagedorn's book is not as much in
what he says Of Roosevelt as in those
vivid portraits which he makes Of men
who would otherwise have been sunk
in oblivion. He is a bit apologize for
what he says of some Of the people,
and he adds: "To those who NAV rec
ognize themselves under the light veil
l have thrown over their portraits and
may feel grieyed l can only say that
inasmuch as they were inhabitants of
the Bad Lands when Theodore Roose-
welt and the Marquis de Mores shaped
their destinies there for good or Ill
they became historical figures and
must take their chances at the judg-
ment seat of posterity with Nebuchad-
nezzar and Caesar and ST. Augustine
and Calamity Jane"
1t is rather a narye point of view
that the ordinary person becomes more
of historical figure only by associa-
ton with the great. In q sense every
human being is history, for he is the
product of the complex forces Of
heredity and environment and illus
trates the characteristics of the race.
In his own historical writings Roose-
welt was as prone to magnify the great
man I'm action as was Carlyle but his
social philosophy was truer in actual
life. Lincoln Lang as a boy in his
early teens heard Roosevelt discuss
politics with his father, and I'm after
years he said: "It was in listening to
those talks after supper in the old
shack on the Cannonball that I first
came to understand that the Lord
made the earth for all OF us and not
for chosen few" History ought to
be record of all of us and not of the
chosen few; hence the fragments
which Hagedorn preserves of the say
ings and doings of various other speci-
men types of those days.

Y TENIZELOS is undoubtedly one of
" the greatest statesmen of mod
ern times. To understand him
is to honor modern Greece. He has
had a remarkable influence upon the
destinies of his own people. Hence an
adequate biography of him would be q
boon. However, Mr.. Chester has failed
somewhat In his task. His book con-
tains a preface by Venizelos, and that
statesman made an exception to his
rule of not reading biographies of him
self and read certain chapters. Hence
the book is to certain degree stamped
as official.
1t is as impossible to write a mans
life from official documents as to write
the story of the great war. Newspaper
clippings about man do not give the
real substance of his life, Venizelos
comes from a land Of olives. and the
author has treated his facts like olives.
Instead OF offering them from the
green branch. he has pressed and dried
them thoroughly. All the oil has evap-
Grated.
The author quotes a Serb proverb:
"a naked man jumps far" He i'm
plies that the early environment of
Venizelos was as Spartan as Ma
poleon's boyhood and youth in Cor
sica. However, there are no Incidents
to give a human touch. Nothing is
said OF his family life Later on his
son is mentioned only when he plays
small part In the drama Of Greek
life.
The best chapters are those which
describe Venizelos's political life in
Crete. He showed resourcefulness and
courage in a very difficult situation.
He had to defeat an unscrupulous rival
in Papadiamontopoulis, the spokesman
of the royal family In Greece. He first
crossed swords with Constantine in
this portion of his career and this
feud with the royal family is one of
the most significant factors in modern
Greece. During the war he success
fully checkmated Constantines efforts
to aid Germany. The author gives no
explanation of Venizelos's overthrow,
which was as startling as his earlier
successes.

In Solitary Silence
Law Moltke's Power
MOLTKE. By Lieut.. Col. r. e. Whit
ton, @. NJ. q. Henry Holt Il Co.

ton, @. NJ. q. Henry Holt Il Co.
NN pTKE was one of the very
MI rare exceptions, a man
- who really achieved great
things without any apparent magnetic
force. Hs never led his soldiers in
burtle like Cesar, a Marlborough, a
Napoleon, a Wellington; he never
earned their affection, OF at least their
respect, by the memory Of dangers
and hardships shared in common and
Of victories won side by side. No tales
have been handed down of words of
inspiration that he spoke to confirm
the doubling or arouse the torpid All
his work was done silently and, as far
as we can judge, almost alone. And
yet he had the supreme gift of inspir-
ing confidence"
Basil Williams summarizes the char
acter of Helmuth Carl Bernhard Won
Moltke in these words in his intro
duction to Col. Whitton's new life of
the great German military command
er. the latest addition to the series of
Makers of the Nineteenth Century, of
which Mr.. Williams Is the general edi-
tor. "Col. Wilton has not made the
crosse Schucei0er' talk" the editor
continues. TT would have taxed the
eloquence Of Carlyle himself, the great
prophet of silence, to do that; but he
has succeeded in giving an impression
OF the mans silent strength, of his
methods Of work. of the way his VIC
tories were won and what was their
significance In military history"
In the two phrases regarding
Moltke's methods of work and the way
his victories were won are summed
up the impression created by this biog-
raphy of the Field Marshal's life: for
little else remains TO be told Of the man.
OF his family life, as n devoted son
and husband. we are given only the
slightest glimpses. OF his books, and
he wrote several apart from military
instruction books, the reader will learn
little except that like all military
writer's before Mahans day, Motke was
totally blind to the Importance OF the
sea in war. That he was a very
human man beneath his great silence
Is shown by his letters to his mother
and TO his young wife. It is a sim
gular note in his career that, like
Frederick the Great before him. he
was forced to flee from his first battle
field along with the Turks in 1899.

critic Gen. Lewal. as saying that "war

H ARK has certainly had less
Nj than justice done to him
hitherto because class in

undiscriminating, has had the effect
Of turning into an inhuman and al

humorous note in this quotation from

its development in Europe, is charac-

Roosevelt; and there were those who
added that his other motto was Go
ahead, and then be sure you're right"
Perhaps the most hopeful sign of the
healthy virility Of America is the fact
that the two tremendous personalities
of our recent history have had this
one virtue and defect in common.
Through both their long public careers
through the zenith of power to their
unhappy endings, these strong men
were constantly tempted to confuse
the joy of battle with the will of God
But though neither would concede it to
the other, both were fighting for what
they conceived as right the American
people, long accustomed to cheap poll
tics and squabbles over spoils, were
lifted again and again into struggles
over great questions of right and
wrong.
Mr.. Gilman views these struggles In
no detached historical mood He was
a classmate and friend and ardent sup
porter of T. r.; he dares even now to
state that he is an impenitent ex-
member of the Progressive party; his
hook is a glowing assertion OF the
heroic stature Of the man whom he
compares to Hercules laboring VAL
iantly in world of filth and monsters
His admissions of fallibility in his idol
are few and grudging, and he is prone
to attribute to opponents the undluted

agine the wrath Of Hercules's friends
at anybody who should have proposed
to use the Augean stables as a source
of fertilizer. Mr.. Gilman expresses the
slightly sarcastic hope that his book
may help to transform into sincere
friends of Mr.. Roosevelt some who
once were honest foes.
Well, why not? There were, for all
Mr.. Gilman, plenty of honest foes
many of whom had been honest adj
mirers at one time or another. Now
that the Captains and the tumult have
departed and left the world to silence
and Mr.. Harding, these pre-war Roose-
veltian liberals can perfectly well dis
count the still boiling partisanship OF
Mr.. Gilman. Loyal love and friend
ship for such man are worthy OF re-
spect. He was a gorgeous parsonage
and he fought the good fight; he is
dead now. and the good that he did
lives after him.
From his college days to the day OF
his death his friend traces the thread
OF motive that was Roosevelt's guiding
principle--his strong desire for right
and justice and a square deal. Behind
his activities was the driving force oi
