MESSIMY, NOT MALVY, WAS FRENCHMAN
 WHO WAS INVOLVED WITH MATA HART

conveying to the Germans the secret Of the construction of entente tanks and faced tho firing squad on the parade grounds at Vincennes.
 During a recent debate in the sem ate on the financial bill M. Malvy, who was minister of the interior, was bitterly castigated by his opponents, presumably in connection with the Mata Hari case. In the midst Of q bitter retort he fainted on the ros- from. sLater he retired from the cabinet and M, Brland in order to light his enemies.
 General Messimy In his letter says he does not remember the exact terms of the letters he sent to Mata Hari.
 "l never had foresight enough to make copies of notes of that sort when 1t came upon me to send them." the general declared. But certainly those letters were most gal lant. because in writing them I re- preached myself fW being too docilo before the counsel5 of prudence to reenact stupidly the story of Madame Potlphar and her servant. Let this adventure serve as a lesson to young deputies of minis terial timber whom beautiful women pursue with advances which they suspect somewhat confusodly. Let deputies beware leaving in ladies' hands both their overcoats and their letters which might serve as poisoned weapons for the reporters of LAC ton Francaise of the future, because in last analysis it was to that hate filled paper that the whole perndious campaign aimed linking up M.

Former Minister of War Admits That It Was He Who Was Vamped by Mystic Dancer Who Later Faced Firing Squad as German Spy.

Paris, April 20 LaD---The mystery of who was the wartime minister, his nape beginning with M and end ing with Y that wrote gallant epistles to Mata Hari, the mystic danseuse, who was executed in October, 1917. for espionage, has now apparently been completely solved.
 For many years the enemies of Louis Malvy. then minister of the in- terior. had implicated him. but now Adolphe Messimy, minister Of war. admits that it was he who. intrigued by the beautiful dancer spy. wrote the letters which the girl cherished until they were taken from her by the authorities when she was arrest- cd.
 It was believed by some that tho senate, sitting as high court, which convicted Malvy of having communi- cation with the enemy and exiled him to Spain, knew the authorship of the letters, but other persons de- clared that they did.not figure in the courts decision against him.
 The letter Of General Messimy, was written at the request of Mime. Seyering, noted socialist writer, who in some way had learned that he was the author of the notes to Mata Hari. Tn his letter the former war minister said:
 Text Of Note
 Madame: You ask me to bear witness to clear up an enigma and soften a sadness. You think this testimony may contribute to lessen the hateful vehemence of adversaries attacking my friend and old col league, Nj. Malvy. You manifest sur prise that I have not sought to dis sipate the doubt existing over the relations I may have had with Mata Hari."
 After thanking Mme. Severing for the courteousness of her request for light and paying tribute to her courageous campaign in the press for fighting wrongs" General Mes simy adds:
 What in truth makes this recti- fcation quite delicate Is not the diff culty of an avowal. It is even the contrary. You recall to me that the French always have been most in dulgent for the faults which brought Francis and the Bearnais (meaning Henry 1V) good part of their popu- larity.
 "I know also that not only Trenchmen, but perhaps French women, are even more devoid of all tolerance and all amenity for the man who seeks to escape fiattering advances, tempting and direct. of a woman, above all If she is famous and beautiful. Namped by Hart
 Nevertheless, that Is the true story of my relations with Mata Hari: During many months fourteen years ago she, by all means of se- duction which she knew how to en- play in incomparable fashion, tried to acquire the right to call her self my mistress. found her charm ing, but full of mystery and just as 'nticing as she was disquieting. l had the Impotence not to tell her that. but to write it to her"
 Mata Hari was declared by some 10 Dc Dutch. Others claim she was Japanese. She was convicted of

 PROBLEM. by Guy Greer.
 , The Ruhr-Lorrainc industrial problem by Mir. Greer is a most fascinating book which fpirly brlstles with facts. This book is tremendous indictment against poli- ticians who tinker with economic problems. The problem after all is not difficult Of understanding when reduced to its simple elements. Germany has the coal of Europe. II is 'locatcd in tho Ruhr. France has the iron ore of Europe. II is locat- ed in Lorraine. Steel is the king of ne industrial world and steel is made from coal and iron ore jointly. Germany owns inc coal and France owns the iron ore. He analyses the problem from both points ofE view.

Mrs. MacDougalls sudden and widely spread fame and her com mercial Success make one of the current wonders Of the New York day. Hence this little book, for whose title she has chosen the me dium through which she found her place in the sun. There are many recipes in the book but the author has a bcguiling way of introducing them casually in the midst of talk about other things than eating.

THESE TWELVE by Charles R
 Brown

Here and there a writer appears whose mind Is as clear as a mountain brook. He has the rare art of dis tilling from his facts their essential implications. Such a man Is Dean Brown of Yale. His work is so lucid and simple that the inexperienced reader might think that he is a mere purveyor of commonplaces. These studies are full of sentiment, but free from sentimentality and arc lit up by genial tolerance that is most appealing. In those whom Jesus of Nazareth gathered around himself live again in the theater of con- temporary life. They appeal 10 US because they are so like ourselves and our neighbors, with our strength and our weaknesses,

FIN BAfONEIS by W John W.
 Thomson.
 Captain Thomson was one of the younger officers In the first battalion of the fifth regiment, T.. S. marines. He was a commander of q company during engagements in Belleau wood in the Forest of Nillers Cotterets, Nier2y, st. Mihiel and others. It Is of scenes from these places that Captain Thomason's exceedingly well Illustrated book is made. With his drawings he has recreated In an ever to be remembered way certain aspects and feelings of men who went through those days. Perhaps here for the first time has the spirit of modern combat been put into pic lures. His account of the attacks at Soissons on the 18th of July is as good piece Of description Of that dramatic scene at any yet written. Sat. Rev.--940. 4S-T36.

Of the man Yielding he speaks only fin relation 10 his work as q novelist. The four immortal novels are analysed in de- tail. Three special points are ems phasizeC in the course of the study: Fielding's great skill in construc- ton, gained largely from his eX- perience as a playwright; his per- sistent role of anti -Richardsonian: and his essential character as moral ist---a lover Of simple human good ness as opposed 10 all conventions and hypocrisies.

LATER DAYS by William 1T, Davies,
 Later Days may be regarded as q sequel to The Autobiography of Il Super Tramp but it is more in the character of q book of unintograted essays than a segment of an auto biography. Ii Is the expression of q unique personality, The purely literary exaspcrates Davies. He dwells with fond rccollections on his tramp days in America, when De- troit Fatty, Saginaw slim and liar. lem Baldy were hts buddies and he swaggercd through the countryside. For Edward Thomas, Edward Gar nett and Bernard Shaw he expresses the highest esteem because they be- fricnded him before he had been taken updn n serious way. and for Ralph Hodgsou because he could discuss prize fighters and dogs with him and because they smoked the same tobacco. Later Days Is n frank spicy dashing unprctcntous volume of reColections more than essay, less than memoir.
