Night, and We Were Warm,

and So Was the Story.
BY AAiES KENDRICK. r

NI UGH being the rewards of a
- life devoted to the cause Of
literature. we were once in
vited by a good lady, president of
. literary society. to appear before
the assembled membership and tell
them just how we reviewed a
book. Our modesty revolving at
the mere suggestion Of such a
thing. we FASTENED to make reply
that we were really unequal to the
task. Pressed for a reason for
this almost unknightly refusal.
we somewhat haltingly advanced
the argument that our likes and
dislikes In the matter OF books
were largely a matter Of our state
Of mind at the time. the book was
In hand. and that environment and
our own bodily comfort were apt
to warp our judgment. Appar-
emily convinced she was in the
presence of a lunatic, the good
lady somewhat hastily Withdrew
from our vicinity. r..
Be that as It may, there Is con-
siderable to be said in favor of our
argument. For instance. take the
case Of Norman Springer's "The
Blood Ship" We read this novel
on q night when cold rain fell
with maddening persistence, We
were huddled up. in our favorite
chair before q cheerful fire, and
felt sorry for an occasionally pedes-
trian whose footsteps echoed hol-
lowly on the wet pavement.
Meanwhile we. read Mr.. Springer's
tale Of the hardships of life at sea
in the. days of. the clipper ships.
While we read Of half-drowned
wretches being kicked about deck
by roaring bucko mates we puffed
lazily at our good Havana and once
or twice violated the statutes re-
Gently made and provided. Life
seemed good. The book seemed
GOOD. Therefore. we are now say

days when the clipper ships carried

TOURIST THOUSANDS
 COMING THIS YEAR

"The Wonderland of the North will be the tourists mecca" proclaims the Seattle Daily Times ill front page editorial in last Sundays issue.
 "The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes!" is the text of the article. Unique among Alaska's natural wonders" says The Times. Plans are being made to have tourists by thousands visit it this year. It came into being shortly before the day in June, 1912, when Mount Katmai ex- exploded-one of the dozen great his- toric eruptions. The Valley of 1O,- 900 Smokes remained after the moun- tain had exhausted its fury.
 "There is nothing comparable with 1t. Katmai is situated only short distance from shelikof strait. Pres ident Harding's party should visit this wonderland during his Alaska trip.
 Alaska has great glaciers (mean- ing the two incomparable ones near Cordova), the mightiest mountain on the continent, imposing rivers. splend- i'd harbors, gold camps and pioneer cities. It also has the unique natural attraction of the world, which will draw multitudes of sightseers-the Valley of 10000 Smokes" '

fecled contact with the Turks, and then began a process that might best be described as rolling up that thin line that so long had resisted every effort at assault. The operation was a complete success and the entire line was in British control within ten hours.
 CAVALRY CAPTURES CANNON
 ''The value of cavalry against heavy artillery was strikingly demonstrated at Hui, where the 6Oth division was engaged. The cavalry under Colonel Shea charged 12 cannon protected by machine gun nests, and in ten minutes had captured eleven of he big guns |and cleaned out the nests. The suc- cess of that operation was repeated in the charge at El-Mughar one week later There the cavalry charged to the top of hill 125 feet high, with a 20 per cent grade, and leaping over series of trenches captured three Krupp ITS and nearly score of ma chine guns.

"Without water. without baggage of any sort. the cavalry made long marches and outflanked the enemy col umn again and again Finally, on the plain of Armageddon, the last strug- gle took place. During the first stage of that battle the Turks fought well but steadily were forced back.
 Presently the Turkish front be- tween the sea and the Jordan was broken, and through the gap along the sea coast Allenby launched his cav airy which swept northward and then eastward to Nazareth across the rear of the whole Turkish host.
 "The German commander, Liman Von Sanders, barely escaped from the net by precipitate flight, but what was left of the Turkish armies, more than GO,0O0 men and 400 guns fell into Allenby's hands.

WASHINGTON, March 3.--Cavalry won the war-at least in Palestine declares Colonel Edward Davis, U. S. army. who ras just returned to Wash ington to present to the general staff his report on more than six years service with the armies of other na- tions.
 Before the entry of the United States in the World war, and after wards, Colonel Davis served with the forces of Great Britain, France, Rus sia, Italy, Serbia and Greece. Later he served as military attache in Hol- land and at Berlin. According to Col onel Davis, his most veluable military experience was with the British cav- airy during the Jerusalem campaign. He said he was surprised to find so little was known in the United States regarding General llenhy's two re- markable campaigns in the Holy Land, each of which he characterized as Gan equisite example of the combined op- erations of all arms of the service under master strategist and great natural leader of men,"
 MASTER STROKE BY CAVALRY
 In both the Jerusalem and Damas- GUS campaigns, Colonel Davis said, the master stroke was delivered by the cavalry. He described several mount ed charges made by Allenby's men and explained the swift and unexpected blows at enemy infantry and artil- lery groups.
 After the British had reached what looked like a stalemate on the Gaza- Beersheba line" Colonel Davis said, 'it was decided to employ cavalry in a final effort to pierce the Turkish defenses. The British stratcgists de cided cavalry could operate best against one end of the line. and a mounted squadron was sent to bite off" an end of the entrenchments that had resisted every effort at capture.
