life. 1t shows the Presidents tre-
mendous capacity for work, his ex-
traordinarily wide range of interests
and the keen enthusiasm with which
he followed the details of home life
iii the midst of his overwhelming
duties. One of the most characteristic
incidents tells how he answered the

Venizelos
Eulogistic Biography of
Greek Statesman

LIFE OF vENIzELOS. BY S. b. Chester
Published by George II. Doran & Co. So.
"HROUGHOUT the war the Allies
had no more faithful friend and
supporter than the Greek states
man, Eleutherios Venizelos, who re-
signed his post as Premier of Greece
as protest against what he consd
cred the pro -Germanism of his SOW
ereign's policy and who finally, with
the help of the Allied military and
naval forces, headed the insurrection
that drove King Constantine from his
throne and brought Greece into the
war on the side of the Allies.
1t may even be said that Venizelos's
devotion to the Allies induced him to
neglect his personal fortunes. At the
elections which were held in Greece
last winter and which resulted in the
Ginning reputation Of Venizelos
and the triumphant reinstatement of
King Constantine, the popular pref
dice against Venizelos as an agent Of
France and England was a powerful
factor in bringing about the unexpected
result. However, Constantine's pres
tige is waning with the defeat of his
armies in Asia Minor, and it is not un-
likely that another turn of the wheel
of fortune will restore Venizelos TO his
old position Of power.
Mr.. Chester gives full account Of
Nenizelos's career from the early
days when he was one of the leaders
OF the Cretan insurrection against the
ottoman power to the present time.
Inc period of the war is treated in de-
tall, and the author is emphatic in his
condemnation of Constantine's sub
servlence to Germany As evidence in
TINS connection he adduces MANY of
Venlzelos's own fiery denunciation, of
the monarch and his policy.

The roaring days of piracy are not
overlooked in Mr. Paine's work. He
relates the adventures of New Eng
land skipper who fell in with three
pirate ships on the African coast and
was held prisoner for some time. His
life sometimes depended upon hairs
breadth; but luck was on his side, and
he lived to write of his experiences.
One stalwart castaway was chief
mate David Woodard, who, with some
companions, was accidentally sepa-
rated from his ship and landed on the
Malay peninsula. Here the Americans
fell into the hands of the natives, who
kept them as prisoners and attempted
to make use of them in their numerous
civil wars. After a series of unsuccess-
full attempts to escape, which would
have daunted a less resolute spirit,
Woodward and his companions finally
reached a friendly Dutch settlement,
where they were able to take passa ge

Other incidents which might have
fitted into the framework of a Steven
son or Conrad plot are the wreck Of the
two French frigates amid the then un-
known South Sea Islands, and the ad-
ventures of Captain Judah Paddock, a
New England skipper cast ashore on
the Barbary coast ard enslaved by the
natives.
Mr. Paine has written a book to fire
the blood of any one who has felt the
magic of the seas. Aside from the in
trnsic interest of its varied episodes
of maritime adventure, the work pos
sesses a peculiar appeal because so
many of its stories illustrate the finest
traditions of American seamanship.
