Have just received a letter from
the editor of the Book News Of
Houghton Mifflin Company which
contains many interesting notes on
authors as well as data concerning
important fall publication.
The letter is as follows:
Isabel Paterson, who seldom misses
a trick in her Turns with a Book
Worm" a weekly feature of Books"
published by the New York Herald
Tribune, says: MY Gracious! How
should we know anything about an
anonymous author who has never
published book?" She is referring
to a new literary find" discovered
by Houghton Mifflin Company, but
about whom they remain strangely
silent, although her first novel is
one of the leading titles on their
fall list. Several statements have
already been made about this nine
teen-year-old anonymous author"

is to be only of short duration. She
came to America from England by
way of Canada and now lives in
Brookline, Mass. Her eyes are the
same extraordinary color that she
gives to one of the characters in her
book. For Mrs. Paterson's benefit,
let it be said that her last name is
the same as that of the well-known
English statesman whom the Lon
don police are Familiarity called.
A few days ago Houghton Mifflin
Company published "Sir Pompey
and Madame Juno" a volume of
distinguished short stories by
Martin Armstrong, and Roland
Pertwee's Gentlemen March," a
stirring tale of adventure which

World Doubts America

Time was when the whole world
believed America capable of melting
out justice without regard to creed,
race, or political opinion, because
America did not bleat about the
kind of government other people
had.
Now the whole world doubts and
it doubts because we make so much
noise about our prejudices that no
one can suppose they are unreal.
When we kill and crush
Nicaraguans because of their i'm
agined bolshevism and refuse to
deal frankly with Mexico on the
same ground, why should not the
uniformed multitudes of France,
Italy, Spain and other countries
suspect that we might hang a
couple Of radicals on pretty thin
evidence?

A Lot Going On

Next Tuesday Colonel Lindbergh
will be in town, and a week later
Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig will put
on performance.
Such prospects, especially when
coupled with the Dempsey unney
fight, which takes place in Chicago.
six weeks hence, ought to divert at
tention from politics.

however, with the grand jury dig
ging into the Stephenson scandal
and with Governor Jackson stand
ing mute, though openly accused Of
such an offense as would demand
prosecution but for the statute of
limitations. attention to politics
continues to run high.

1t is a mistake to regard the naval
limitation problem as a triangular
one concerning only the United
States. Great Britain and Japan, de-
clares Hector c. Bywater, leading
British authority in "Navies and
Nation" a new book published as
the crisis persists at the Geneva
conference. "All would be plain
sailing" he says, "if Great Britain
and Japan would agree to extend
the e-five-three ratio to auxiliary
craft as we'll as to battleships. From
the American point Of view this
would be a most satisfactory ar
rangement. and hardly less accep-
table to Britain if America were re-
garded as the principal rival at
sea-"
Bywater, who has treated the
naval problem from a variety of
angles, in Sea Power in the Pacific"
and 1.-The Great Pacific War;" dis
cusses the Anglo-Saxon deadlock in
no uncertain terms in the new book
issued by Houghton Miffhn Com
pany. Great Britain" he MAIN
tains can no longer hope to retain
absolute supremacy at sea. It is,
therefore, obviously better to have
the entire naval position stabilized,
If possible, by international agree
ment than to enter upon a new era
of competitive shipbuilding in which
Great Britain is virtually certain to
be out-dStanced."

Along that line, Senator Jim Watson down at In

Harrison were in accord on the special session of
Congress business and both opposed. and here
today see Harrison and Smoot hot for extra

to say what he did out here in Indiana. Smoot and
