skinx.s History OF the World War;
by w. c. King. (History AS
sociates)
In painstaking detail the strategy
OF the various theaters and cam
paigns of the world war has been
set forth. Regrettably. this metic-
ulous attention to detail is offset
by the tone OF extreme partisan
violence which permeates the vol
ume. Speaking of Germans as
Huns" is rather out OF date at
present Likewise the long list Of
reported atrocities" which so re-
grettably were not authenticated
at the after war trials. Too often
the "blurb' note browns out the
one OF sober fact which the care
full marshaling OF sequence would
naturally create. The result is a
history that lacks the tone OF the
real historian and takes on the
touch of mere propaganda as
demonstrated during the late un-
pleasantness.
n ldlr Sample OF Inete TdlntE
ridiculous statements occurs in the
introduction where we read OF
"Prussia's diabolical plot to ex-
terminate Christianity throughout
the world and restore the ancient
pagan worship of Odin and Thor
universally. The impious chal-
lenge was accepted and its authors
were rebuked. by an irresistible
rally of the host OF Christendom,
united in the defense OF faith, free
dom and fireside." Thus. at the
beginning. the ingenious author
switches the cause of conflict from
political TO religious motives. There
is a very short Introduction by
Marshal Foch that impels one to
wonder whether the war-propaean-
da note of the book caused him to
be so generous of his favor 10 the
author. In an introduction to the
book. II is stated that IL "enrap-
tured the rulers and statesmen of
France" II these gentlemen were
"enraptured" II seems probable that
they overestimated the probable in
fuence where the simple, statement
of fact is spoild by the introduc-
tion of absolute fanaticism.

Jupiter gives strength to all who

passing of many famous men and

While she possessed a better busi-

But for all the success. Of his
old age as an author. the first
and last love of William de Morgan
was for the art OF the potter.
In 1914. just before HIS death. he
looked back on his early love In
the arts with a sort OF haunting

her pictures had been a necessity.
Now came a breathing space when
she visited the exhibitions Of Cubist
and Futurist painters with frank
bewilderment- II that is what

She continued painting with un-

Tale of a Melon.

A watermelon dropped Off
huckster's truck and broke in three
pieces. When the huckster was told
of the accident. he stopped the
truck and went back to investigate.
he found three girls devouring the
melon. He demanded pay or the
melon. A 7-year-old tossed her
piece at his feet saying. "Ain't he
mean?" And the other two ran home
with theirs so the huckster charged
it to loss and drove away. After
he was gone the mother of one of
the trio inquired where the huck-
ster was. She said the melon
looked so good she wanted to buy
one. - VICTOR ". EARP. 1915 I
