The Soul of An Immigrant
By Constantine M. Panunzio. The
Macmillan Co., New York.
4 This reminds one of Jacob Refs,
Lary Antin and Edward Box. But its
different. Panunzio is an Italian from
South Italy, which contrary to the
thought of most of us, who have read
the north of Italy, of Turin, Milan
Florence, southern Apulia, Naples and
ycicily, has produced larger num-
Ter of unusually bright educated i'm
Migrants than from the northern por-
Ion of that country. His family de-
kpned him for the priesthood or to
Ie a lawyer, but he loved the sea,
lated study, became sailor, crossed
he Atlantic, was brutally treated. for
box his ship in Boston, strangely
Ient to the lumber camps of Maine,
lad all sorts of strange experiences,
lot into school, graduated from a
|olege was caught in the World War,
lut rejected for the army, went INTO
he Y. M. c. A. service, was sent to
kly, and by his ability as linguist,
nd public speaking from his Yankee
pllege training, was able to render
he Italian government much service,
nd was honored and commended by
Ugh army and state officials.
His story gives us just what the title
lggests, the struggles of such an
immigrant as we need, but shows how
ich are hindered in many and various
avs, all of which are natural But
S experiences supply food for
bought as to whether we are always
lst in Dug attitude towards such
|reigners. The book is creating wide
terest, particularly in the East where
ere are more Italians.

If Winter Comes

rown & Co., Boston.
This is the novel which has mad
