any solution of the Near Eastern
questions should regard him as de-
sirable factor rather than one to be
eliminated. He buttresses his argu-
ments not merely with fiattering
analysis of Turkish character but
with a long, carefully detailed ac-
count of the many intrigues directed
against the Turkish Government
during the past two centuries by
peoples and cliques who aimed to
plunder him. He manages to make
out something of case; at least to
the extent that the enemies of Turk
ish rule appear to be responsible for
some elements in the present un-
happy situation.
The book was first published in
French in August, 1920, and is pri-
marily a polemic directed against the
unfortunate Sevres treaty. The prog
ress of events since then have rem
dered NJ. Gaillard's diatribe a bit out
of date. though NJ. Gaillard might be
forgiven for saying II told you So"
He did not foresee the course of the
dStudl DISdhuOmn VI tlldl
ment, which went to pieces with the
return of Constantine and the down.
fall of Venizelos, but he did demon
strate that the treaty scheme was
doomed to failure. In fact, no seri-
GUS attempt was made by the Allies
to put it into effective operation. Its
present result is a continuing war,
with the outcome still doubtful.
M. Gaillard argues that French pol
icy should have aimed at the sup
port Of the Turk in Europe. French
citizens still own very large part,
If not a majority, of the Turkish
bonds. Further, he argues, abandon
ing Turkey meant practically deliv-
ering Constantinople to the British.
There is to-day an active pro-Turk-
ish element in French politics. NJ.
Gaillard is also severely critical of
Lloyd George and the British atti-
tude. He thinks their policy was
not merely selfishly grasping but
foolishly shortsighted in it's failure
to realize that unsettling the Mo-
hammedan power in Asia Minor must
have disturbing effect on India. AS
to that point the state of things to
day bears out M. Gaillard's predic-
ton, as even the British politicians
now admit.
Nj. Gaillard assumes a sympathetic
attitude toward Mohammedanism.
"One cannot forget" says he, either
that Islam acted as a counterpoise
TO Christianity or that it played an
important part in our civilization by
securing the continuance and pene-
tration of Eastern and pagan inf1u-
ences." He even tries to apologize
for the Armenian massacres and sug-
gests that the Armenians have al
ways harassed the Turks quite as
much as the other way round. 1t
suggests the case of the bulldog
which was brutally attacked by an
'infuriated rabbit"
Nevertheless, NJ. Gaillard's analy-
sis, although events have marched
beyond his foresight. remains of
value. and his two chief conclusions
have elements of accuracy in them,
in that the dismemberment of Tur-
key is not turning out to the ad-
vantage of England and that France
is gradually losing the moral pres
tige she once enjoyed in the East"
The present situation is sheer chaos,
with no one satisfied, and no end of
the war in sight. M. Gaillard's phil
ippic may at least serve to show that
the Turks case is not entirely with
out merit.

~ r. CONWELL has a wide
fame as a lecturer, and nat
~ urally enough he has kept
his Lincoln recollections all these
years for platform use. But he does
well to leave them no longer unpub-
iished. With all the civil war books
and articles now in print this little
volume is by no means superfluous.
1t adds measurably to the stock Of
essential knowledge.
There is full report of several con-
versations with the President late
in the war. But no less important
is the story of that New York ad-
dress, which undoubtedly had much
to do with Lincoln's nomination and
election.
Young Conwell and his brother
heard the Cooper Union speech.
They knew nothing about the orator.
and went only because tickets had
been given them. AS they approached
the hail a crowd of rough fellows
thrust onions in their hands. with
these instructions:
Keep 'em under your jacket and
when yer hear the FIVE whistles
throw them at the feller speakin'."
This meeting has often been de-
scribed, but DIR. Conwell is probably
the first to tell in print some of the
following details:

to me and smiled.
He tells me that $4,000 of Lees
soldiers have just been captured
Lincoln said. But that doesn't mean
anything; he's the biggest liar in
Washington. You can't believe a
word he says. He reminds me Of an
old fisherman / used to know who
got such reputation for stretching
the truth that he bought a pair of
scales and insisted on weighing every
fish in the presence of witnesses.
One day a baby was born next
door and the doctor borrowed the
fisherman's scales to weigh the baby.
1t weighed forty-seven pounds"
The serious view Lincoln took of
humor's place in life and the value
he placed on the humorist is en-
phasized in his tributes to Artemus
Ward. The conversation turned on
the mans status as a travelling
Snowman or comic entertainer. Said
Lincoln:
II have agreed with many people
who think that Ward should be in
some trade or writing books. But I
don't know about it. He has special
kind of mind, and rightly used he
would make an excellent teacher of
mental science. In one way of look
ing at it his life is wasted. But if
he refreshes and cheers other people

THE SOUL AND BODY OF AN
ARMY. BY Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton.
George H. Doran Company.
is perfectly familiar phenom-
enon that in countries like Great
Britain and the United States
the mass of the people take little or
no interest in their army and navy
in times of peace. From the view-
point of those interested in that out
OF date thing called national pre-
paredness" this is very regrettable.
But no one yet has ever found a
corrective for this fault in the Brit
ish and American peoples.
Yet to find a cure for this state of
mind is the ambition of most writer's
on military matters, and more par
ticularly army and navy officers who
take their profession seriously. Such
one is Gen. Sir Ian Hamilton
who in his new work entitled 1.-THE
Soul and Body of an Army" engages
himself to try and arouse interest in
the question of what kind of an army
England should profit in a military
sense from the lessons of the world
war. 1t is Sisyphus task, yet Sir
Ian goes at it with high spirits, good
humor and thousand and one illus
trations of what ought to be done.
Occasionally, Of course, he INDUCES
in strokes of irony. They are the
signs of fifty years of service in the
army he loves and of his final catas-
trophe at Gallipoli, removal from
his command that caused him, as he
wrote in his "Gallipoli Diary" to
think of cups OF hcmlock and other
antique images"
He shows how the people of Eng
land are Strangers Yet" to the army
and its ways in his opening chapter.
He takes up and discusses in turn
the knowledge of armies. their higher
organization. discipline. training.
numbers and the various methods of
aPPAyhlS tICOC C1CAhCAlS " bilc lAdA-
ing of real army that will be prac-
teal and efficient. And he does all
this with innumerable Illustrations out
of his own experiences, using our
own Gen. Goethals, as the builder of
the Panama Canal, to point one of
his morals.
But in spite of all his labor and
all his interesting qualities as
writer we are afraid Gen. Hamilton
is engaged in a fruitless task. No
one but the most enthusiastic stu
dent of military affairs, and they are
pitifully small in numbers. is likely
to take the slightest interest in
book Of this kind at the present time
so that all his admirable arguments
will go for naught. The only pos
sible reward Sir Ian can hope to find
for the labor Of writing such book
Is that when the next war comes
around and England begins to mud
die through it the glorious mantle
of Lord Roberts will be draped
around his shoulders and he or his
disciples can say, i told you So"
