j. G. Snaith Writes Of a Society
Formed to Remove Them
From the Earth

j. c. Snaith has written a novel
about what men with ideals will do
when the successors Of the Harmsworth
and the Hearst press begin to do on
larger scale those things in which
this press is now engaged in smaller
way. lie calls It "Thc Council Of
Seven" Cd. Appleton & co.,. The
council is the executive body OF the
Society of the Friends of Peace. The
society fights with secret weapons for
the purpose Of removing every infu-
cnce which threatens the good will of
nations. When Mr.. Snaith's novel
opens two trouble breeders have been
removed. In the early pages Of the
book an American labor leader dies
mystcriously in London. He was on
his way to Australia, where he was
planning to engage in his work of stir
ring up class war. And Saul 1lartZ,
the head of the Universal Press, had
just received summons to attend a
meeting of the council of seven. SEN
tcnce of death is ultimately pronounced
against him in order that he may be
prevented from carrying out his plans
to consolidate his British newspaper
syndicate with an American syndicate
controlling string of newspapers en-
gagged in stirring up trouble. The
story is about the effect of the decree
Of the council upon the fortunes of an
idealistic member of Parliament and an
American girl whom he has promised
to marry. llartz had already begun the
attempt to ruin the political career of
the member of Parliament when the
story opens. The young man had been
dCnOuncing the methods of the Univcr-
sal Press and it had deliberately per-
vcrted the meaning Of speech which
he had delivered and declined to make
any correction until Its ends had been
accomplished. There is story enough
to hold the interest Of the novel reader
and there is sufficient illustration of
the methods of the constituencies press
of the period in the future in which
the action takes place to make evident
to the thoughtful the direction In
which the newspapers which dcliber-
ately seek to stir up trouble are now
tending.

Young But Once

1t must be gratifying to a British
novelist to find new readers for his old
novels. This good fortune has hap
pcned to Archibald Marshall. who with
in the last few years has begun to win
an American following. His publish hcrS
on this side Of the ocean have now be-
gun to reprint his old novels. 'Petcr
Binncy" (Dodd, Mead Il co.., which
he wrote twenty years ago, has just
appeared. 1t is the story of Il father
with no educational advantages in his
youth who decides to go TO Cambridge
University with his son and enter the
same class with him. lie is widower
who has just become enaged to marry
a widow. She had lOngCd in her youth to
have dashing young lover. and she is
delighted with Peters plan to act the
part of youth before his marrics her.
Peter, with curious ideas of what Il
Cambridge undergraduate does, launches
on career Of frivoity in the belief
that that is what young bloods al
ways do.
The story Of the effect Of his conduct
on his son. on the widow and on his
own happiness is told by Mr., Marshall

TALES OF TWO CITIES
"Maytair and Montn~re''
Cossips Deliciously
about Society

Ralph Nevill, for many years par
ticipant in the doings Of London So
ciety, as we'll as looker-on at affairs
on the Continent, has written most
delightful book Of gossip, chit-chnt and
social observation in mayfair and
Montm6rtre" (E. p. Dutton & co.,.
Mr.. Nevill's period runs from the
eighties to the present time; in fact'
he is up to date enough to discuss the
pessimistic findings of the anonymous
author of "The Mirrors Of Society
against contemporary social leaders and
tendencies. Mr. Nevill is himself too
genial an observer and too hcdonlstic
q philosopher to rant and rail, though
hc secs many current fads and foibles
which he thinks might be altered for the
better. And although he is no blind
worshiper Of past days, he cstcemS
some of their customs and traditions as
fundamentally sound and worthy nt
contemporaneous emulation. Still, nc
does not think the present constitution
of society hopelessly lost, imperfect as
it Is. And he is frank enough to lndl-
cate that the habits OF mind ana con-
duct revealed as typical of the past In
many of his quotations and citations
have been vastly improved on through
the libcralizing and ameliorating pas
sage of time.
The book Is very rich in anecdotes,
some of them clever and some of them
cnce clever. Personalities Of note and
some simply of artificial social import
ance, enliven every page.
Equally at home in Mayfair. Lon
don's center of fashion. and Mont
martrc. about which Paris artistic life
rcvolved, Mr.. Nevill gives the reader
intimate views Of the leisurely. luxurious
life of London and the effervcScrnt,
evanescent environment of bohemeian
Paris. Portraits Of the remarkable men
and women of the period arc sketChcd in
with deft and accurate strokes.

TWO ROSES
Story Of How a Bachelor
Reared Some Little Girls

The men seem to be getting it in this
soason's novels. 1t may be for the rea-
con that the nOveists think that their
roadcrs arc almost exclusively women,
ar hccousc men are really the stupid,
Sjundcring creatures they have been rep
rosontcd 10 me. There was EliZabth
who in "Vera" drew portrait of n
husband whom no man even would de-
iend or Justify. And now comes Il. V.
Tmcas in Rose and Rose George II.

understood his wife so little that she
fonnd il impossible to live with him. He
wos harristcr. absorbed in his profess
sion whose habits were fixed before he
married. lie ran his bachelor house
hold. attending to all the domestic de-
tails md preventing the waste of a
nennv. After his marriage he continued
10 do the same. And his wife, n ro-
mantle buovant, independent young
rrcoturc. shriveled and wthcred under
his influence until she could stand it
no longer and ran away to the straits
Settlements with n young man whom
she had liked before her marriage. And
Mr., Lucas has this old bachelor doctor
who tells the story say that the longer
bs lives the more firmly does he become
convinced that the only sin is the SIN
OF mCanneSs.
But the book is really the story of
how bachelor brings up two girls. The
first is the Rose who married unhap-
pily. She had been left an orphan when
a small child, and the doctor becomes
her guardian. Mr.. Lucas makes her a
creature TO delight the reader Of either

of rho unhappy marriage. whom the
mother asks her old guardian to care

The marriage problem is incidental to

children 3 pieces for piano, by Charles
Wakefield Cadman, entitled "A Visit

and "A Country Vacation" The first
two consist Of ten pieces each and the
last of eight The pieces are written
after the charming child verses of nellie
Richmond EbCrhart and as Mr. Cad
mans name is n guarantee, they are Of
excellent workmanship and contain good
and worthy musical material. They
will be welcome addition to the teach.

with fine sense of humor. He apollo
gi2cs for the story as n youthful effort,
but he need not have done it. The book
is of a different type from The Honor
of the Clintons" or THE Hall and the
Grange" but it can stand very well on
its own merits as an entertaining treat
mcnt of the theme that man can be
young but once. however much he may
try to repeat the experience.

Los Angeles. September 1S.-Ex1 cerpts of conversation alleged to have taken place last night in the county jail between Chandler Sprague, reporter for the Los An- geles Examiner, and Arthur c. Burch, indicted with Mrs. Madelyne oben- chain for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, broker, were made public here tonight by w, c. Doran, chief deputy district attorney.
 The conversation, MT. Doran stated. related to a copyrighted arti- ele published today in the Los An geles Examiner in which Sprague as serted under his signature that Burch. August l4, confessed 10 him the staying of Kennedy August ,.
 Mir. Doran said the conversation between Sprague. who today was called before the Los Angeles county grand jury, and Burch took place in Burch's cell in the county jail, and was obtained through the efforts of Malcolm McLaren, detective, who has the investigation of the Kennedy tragedy in charge for the district at torney's office.
