LIES MINOR COLLISIONS. BY
Frances and Gertrude Warner.
Houghton Miffiin Company.
I'VE title is suggestive of the
frictions that are bound to
occur in the most peaceful
family life. They are collisions.
mostly minor. between the individual
and the group, the individual, and cir
cumstances, the individual and the
horse he rides on. All the chapters
are for those kindred spirits who try
to be easy to live with-and find it
difficult" There is nothing sinister
about these collisions-they are as
inevitable as a rainy day. and if
treated with humor and a little gen.
erosity will only serve to keep fam
lily affection more closely knit. AS
we find on the first page, "You can
ruftte the dearest member of your
family more by asking him twice if
he is sure he locked the back door
than his political opponents could
stir him --''h a libel" but that ruff
fling has permanent effect and
will be an excellent subject for a
joke the next day. This family. with
which the reader feels quite intimate
before the book is finished. is en-
dowed with an unusual amount of
tact and humor, but the minor COL
lisions are there. Is there not ten
sion at your table when the head of
the house begins TO carve the chick
en-. and how about the time you are
attempting to get telephone mes
sage and some member of your fam
lily tries to assist you at this end?
These and others equally familiar
serve to bring out the authors phil
osophy of family life.

HO what extent Sir Julian S.
| Corbett proposes to give de-
tails of the war afioat is shown
by the second volume of his Naval
Operations in the British Official His
tory of the Great War. In point of
time this section of the history begins
on November 20. 1914. with the re-
distribution of the home fleets after
the battle of Jutland and ends in
May. 1915, with the conclusion of the
second battle Of Krithia in the Oar
danelles. the loss Of the Lusitania. the
resignation Of Lord Fisher and Win
ston Churchill and the formation OF
the Coalition Cabinet.
The historian devotes All pages to
these six months. the principal events
covered being the raid on the York
shire coast by the German fleet, the
Dogger Bank action, the destruction
Of the German cruiser Dresden. the
attempted invasion of Egypt and the
Dardanelles campaign. AS might be
expected from an Official history
Sir Julian upholds the Admiralty in
All its works. Few echoes are to be
found in his narrative of so much
Of the virulent criticism leveled at
that department of the British Gov
ernment during the world war by
British writer's and navy officers. But
Sir Julian is too fair minded not &c
set down many of the mistakes mad i.
by both the Admiralty and by indl-
vidual navy officers. And the opera
lions conducted under these errors
do not make pretty reading.
Typical eases OF this kind are to
be found in several incidents In the
Dogger Bank action. such as the
Tigers misinterpretation of Beatty's
signals from the Lion and Admiral
MoOres similar misunderstanding
when the battered Lion had to drop
out of the line owing to engine
trouble. and the refusal of the Ad-
miralty to heed the reliable informa-
ton of the British Consul at Punta

THE ROMANCE OF RUSSIA. By
Elisabeth and Frere W. Champney.
G. Z. Pu;nam's Sons.
"HE Champneys have had much
practice in popu.arizing his
tory. They are the joint au-
thors of "Chateaus in France" and
many similar books. They have a
knack for saying "Oh" and "Ah" to
the picturesque. They see foreign
countries as primarily bits of scenery
and loca. color. Their instinct is sure
on the question of quaintness in the
past. They have an ability for the
melodrama of history and they find
much to suit them in Russia's story.
The authors say: Not alone from
her scarlet flag of anarchy has Rus
STA merited the title red. Ere his
tory began she reeked with gore"
They then plunge into a series of
sanguinary narratives. First there
are legends of Kurik and Igoe. The
other high spots receive a due share
OF attention. Marco Polo is called
from the grave TO tell a story of the
klums. Peter the Great has his
niche. OF course Queen Catherine
must appear. but she is made too
romantic. George Bernard Shaw has
given US a better picture OF the
Great Empress. NapoleOn's retreat
from Russia is recounted by an old
soldier. The volume begins and ends
in myth. The final fairy story deals
with the fabulous Bolshevik decree
natiOnalizing women
This is an interesting volume 1t
shows much genuine research. There
is a chapter of straight history which
deals with the cathedrals of Russia
This is illustrated with fine photo
graphs. Folk songs and translations
of RuSsia's greatest poets are inter
spersed among the prose chapters.
As they are invariably well translated
they add 10 the value of the book.
The reader is reminded of Aucassin
and Nicolette or some other product
of the trOuyeres i'm which a tender
lyric breaks the thread of thrilling
narrative. In this manner the
Champneys achieve their desired eff
feet of something far away and long
ago. much better than by their use
of archaic expressions.
The Russian folk stories at the be-
ginning of the book are a literary
treat. They reveal the flaming fanci-
full soul of the Slav and make the
present history of Russia more intel
ligible. The authors have retold these
legends more successfully than any
one since jeremiah Curtin's epoch
making book.
