NATIONAL CANCER WEEK

This is supposed to be Cancer Week
in the United States and it is being
fostered by various medical societies
and institutions for the purpose solely
of saving lives of American people.
The staggering array of deaths that
face us as result of cancer are suf-
iiclent to cause definite purpose in
the lives of all public spirited men to
do their best to teach the American
people how easy it might be to ward
off the great number of deaths from
this disease if it is started in time.
The objective is to bring to all PEG
pie the need for immediate attention
to all cases that appear to be cancer
Gus. There is no hope when it has
gone too far. There is all sorts of
hope when it has not progressed to
any material extent.
Here are twelve known cancer
facts. They are gathered by DR.. j.

Commission OF the Medical Associa-
ton of Georgia, under arrangement
with the American Society for the
Control of Cancer, with headquarters
in New York:

EXPOSING SOME SECRETS

Some one finally says a good word
For The ex-kaiser. The SCENE one" is
Sir Basil Thomson, former head of
Scotland Yard detectives. Thomson,
now lecturing in America, and reveal
ing inside stuff" Of the British Sc
cfet service, says: 1.-THE (German)
general staff had resolved upon the
! invasion of Belgium and they put
their plans before the kaiser. He We
/ toed them. This situation continued
for 48 hours and after the general
( staff had issued the orders for the
army to advance, Won Moltke went to
the kaiser's bedroom at 2 in the morn
ing and asked him to sign the order.
] He refused. Won Moltke then said
/ that the safety of the fatherland had
dcvolved upon the general staff and,
If your majesty refuses to sign, the
general staff must take the response
biiity.'" SIN other words" according
to Thomson, "the kaiser must choose
/ between abdication and approval, and
he took the latter course" Thorn

ex-kaiser from guilt, distributes the
guilt to the shoulders of many, Bill

A melodramatic picture of the
death of Rasputin, sacred devil of
Russia" is given by Thomson. Ras-
putin, taken to palace basement din
ing hall, was given a bottle of poison
ed wine that had been tried out on
, dog. Rasputin, when the poison got
to him, breathed heavily and foamed
at the mouth, but showed no signs of
dying. So Prince Youssapov, when
Rasputni staggered at him, gave him
a shot out of a pistol, and the monk
fell backards with terrible cry" A
doctor called in, examined the body
and pronounced it dead. Later Yous-
/ sapov approached the corpse and "put
/, his hand under the robe TO feel the
heart. 1t seemed to be still, when
suddenly Rasputin sat up and seized
him by the throat" Youssapov es-
capped. Rasputin staggered to the
door, out into the snow. Three more

than, for instance, "The Middle
Temple Murder" Incidentally. how
many readers can recall a mystery
story read several years ago? Yet
some of Mr.. Fletcher's do stick in
the memory, although he does not
indulge in any marked eccentricity
of plot. The theme of this one is
a staple-stolen jewels. murder, more
murders, and a general suspicion
and pursuit OF nearly every one in
sight. Everyone in the story is kept
excessively busy watching and sus-
pecting nearly everybody else, chas-
ing false and real clews up and down

The gentleman who was obliged to
play the part of the first corpse was
a rather expensive article to use up
that way. One is sorry he had to

adds a zest to the thing. 1t is. no
doubt, a noble end to be butchered

succeeding casualties are more nor

correct solution. And that is the
main thing. A very well done tale.

HOMESTEAD RANCH. By Elizabeth

G. Young. d. Appleton & Co.
GO far as the bones Of it go this
~ is familiar story. much like
the majority of Western
yarns. not overwild but wild enough,
stocked with the customary human
animals. cowboys, ranchers, sheep
men, a forest ranger. Eastern ten
derfeet, homesteaders and the rest of
the menagerie. Bob and Harriet
Holiday, brother and sister, have the
usual troubles of the budding home
steader who gets in the way of the
sheep magnate. There are the nee
essary predatory neighbors. and the
statutory amount of well assorted
trouble. Also romance is provided
by the forester who is billed to fall
in love with Harriet, and obediently
does so, with the results that any
reader can foresee. The plot is well
managed-a nicely articulated skel-
eton.
But it differs from the usual type
of Western stories in that Miss
Young has a dainty, light touch, a
graceful way with her without being
oversentimental. She also has a
mild and happy humor. and she
writes, too. from evident first hard
knowledge of the land she describes
All that makes it an unusually pleas
ant tale; with life and movement!
enough to hold the attention, and a
quality that leaves a cheering effect
upon the reader. 1t is perhaps best
labeled as a perfect Youths Compdn-
ion serial. its appeal being strongest
for the adolescent mind, but grown
up enough, too, to entertain the
more mature friend of sound senti-
ment.

present day Wilkie Collins in this re-
spect. He gives his readers, in 1.-THE
Moon Rock" a veritable treasure OF
plot and characters, coil upon coil of
clews to his mystery, one seeming
solution after another. And yet he is
SO much the master OF all these
characters and mysteries that never
until he elects to reveal the real
clew is the reader permitted to learn
the secret Of the murder of Robert
Turold.
For, like all proper criminal tales,
this one begins with a murder after
an introduction that stirs expecta-
tions to high pitch of interest
through its tragic novelty of ambi-
ton. No sooner is the funeral of
Mrs. Turold over Qt is on this scene
the tale opens) than Robert Turold
tells his relatives and the local doc
tor of the Cornish village, which is
the scene OF the story, that he has
finally traced the line of Turols back
to the original baron, that he means
to claim the title, and that his
daughter, Sisily, is illegitimate, Tu-
rold having learned from his wife on
her deathbed that she had been mar
ried before to a man she thought
dead when she married Sisily's
father.
On top of this, the same night. comes
Turolds murder, which the local po-
lice believe to be a suicide, theory
DIR. Ravenshaw's professional opin-
ion appears to bear out. But Turold's
sister has suspicious of Turclds old
man-servant: circumstances appear
to point to Sisily, and again to Sisily's
cousin Charles. In each one of these
several cases the actions of the sup
posed culprits appear to be damning.
The police hunt Sisily and Charles,
but, as SO often happens with the
British police officials in fiction, they
fail to catch them. Thalassa, the old
man-servant, tells his story of the
mystery of Turold's life-that con-
tains plot enough for a story by it
self; Charles tells of his connection
with the murder as a near witness /;
Sisily tells of her appearance at the
| lonely Turold house on the Moon
Rock on the night of the murder
But still the coil of mystery is not
unraveled. A hood clock" on which
the arm of the murdered man rested
when his body was found, is a clew
to the mystery: and the reader will
begin to think the author has for
gotten all about the ancient time
keeper when it hobs up in its APP
pointed place in the solution OF the
mystery at the end.
Just what that solution is we have
no intention of telling. 1t is thing
every reader of the novel, and there
should be hosts of them, must dis
cover for himself. We believe few
will discover that solution until Mr.
Rees unfolds it for him. since this is
a mystery story whose secret is pro-
foundly hidden until almost the last
page is reached. That is why it will
be such an unhallowed joy TO all
lovers of this order of fiction. for it is
a masterpiece OF vivid interest and
keen suspense.

-R. FLETCHER is one of the
kind of mystery-suspense
stories. Indeed. he is a master
builder of plots, of tales that make
no pretense of being anything but
puzzles. But he is also a master
of an excellent style; his English
is more than merely good. 1t is
simple, vigorous, always clear cut
and exactly suited to his purpose:
qualities not at all common in the
detective yarn. He also goes as far
as is necessary in character draw
ing. His chess men are patiently no
more than pieces in the game, but
they are carved well enough to af-
ford real artistic enjoyment in
watching them moved about. They
are worth while in themselves-as
chess men.
This specimen is quite as good as
his previous successes: il anything.
