"A surprising air Of actually and
aliveness permeates the book, in part
derived from the authors perfect de-
tachment and his happy abstinence
from littering the pages with footnotes
and statistics. We should rate the book
high among those which have some
thing unprecedented, definitely inform

part on contemporary Russia ana her

lights cast on preSent-day Russia by
what natives themselves do and say"

BY all odds the best book vet in its

Mr.. Knickerbocker's book differs
from Mr.. Eddy's as newspaper men
differ from Y. NJ. c. A. secretaries They
are cooler and cannler, and talk in
dry voice. which suggests infinite So
phisticaticn and a total indifference to
good and evil. This is an excellent way
to talk about situation as far off as
that in Russia. I think almost any sa-
gac.ous American would like this book
and learn from it," Max Eastman.
