PEACE AND THE PLAIN MAN. BY
Norman Angel. New York: Harper
g. Bros.
CIR NORMAN ANGEL. winner of
the Nobel peace prize for 1884,
has for over a quarter century been
working for peace. In his writings
he has proved that war means eco
nomic destruction, that whoever wins,
in military sense. in reality every
one loses. His book, "1 ne Great lllu-
sion," should Of itself have prevented
the World War, but fe'-' people pay
any attention to the / .1hets, and
proof submitted to the insane is futile.
In Peace and the Plain Man" he
addresses himself to plain John Smith,
hoping that he is sane. But even II
he is, what influence does he have
with the war makers? He asks, as
Frank Simonds asks in recent book,
"At what price do we want peace?"
But his line of argument in answer
ing is different. We have an impress
sion that Mr. Simonds answer, the
more equitable distribution of the
sources of economic prosperity among
nations, goes deeper than Sir Norman
Angels. progressive disarmament and
dependence for security on collective
defense" The solution offered by Sir
Norman Angel for rl1mors Of wars,
threats of war and wars themselves
is international Cooperation, through
multiplying pacts and commitments
among nations ITO the plain ques-
ton, What must John Smith do in
order to eliminate war from the
world? the facts here discussed give
a plain answer. He must encourage
his government to cooperate with
other governments in building up, in
all ways possible, perhaps gradually,
but in any case steadily, a system OF
collective. cooperative defense as a
substitute for the old method of de-
fense by competitive power, Of each

THE CONSUMER SEEKS A WAY.
BY Clark Foreman and Michael
Ross. New York: w. w. Norton
& Co.
HE depression will be over for
me when the people in those
bread lines start eating in my res
taurant,' said New York business
man to the authors of this book in
the Winter of 1888. This casual re-
mark presents two aspects of the
problems now so much to the fore in
our national life. First, the great
importance of the consumer; second,
the value of looking at our situation
in terms of individuals" The aim Of
this book is to free the consumer from
economic theory. to consider him as
a man, not as an economic entity. 1t
is written in the form OF an allegory.

clerk. sets out to find a few reasons

sARABAND FOR DEAD LOVERS.
BY Helen Simpson. New York:
Doubleday, Doran & Co.
THIS love story of the Princess
Sophia -Dorothea and Count Ko-
nigsmark Of Bohemia has a Zenda
flavor, in spite of its historical places
and personages. The author has ad-
mitted tampering with history in the
interest Of her romance and we are
sure the tampering has been entirely
justified. The romance is probably
much happier than anything which
really came into the life of the
princess, who was forced into q mar
riage with that loutish Hanoverian
who became George I Of England.

w VILLAIN MURDOCH. emf
nent English pianist and
wv leading exponent Of Cho-
v pins music, is exceptional
ly we'll fitted to write
full-length biography Of the lonely,
unhappy composer who reveled in his
misery, perhaps because it aided his
inspiration. Since 1888 Frederick
Nieck's Life of Chopin" has been
the standard biography and has fur
nished material for numerous lesser
biographies. Many new lights on the
Polish genius, as we'll as many new
facts. have been supplied by the COL
lections of Chopins letters gathered
by DR.. Henry Opienski, and to these
Mr.. Murdoch has had access. He
has in this volume written very fully
of the life and character of Chopin,
whom he considers "the greatest COM.
poser for the pianoforte and one Of
the most melodically inspired OF all
the great musicians" In future
volume he intends to deal apprecia-
lively and critically with Chopin as
composer, pianist and teacher.
Some Of the facts recently dis
covered show that Chopin was entirely
of French descent in his paternal
ancestry. His father, Nicolas Chopin,
migrated from France to Poland.
where he was professor of literature
in the Military School of Warsaw.
Frederic was his second child and
only son. Fragile health was his lot
through all his 80 years, and, of
course, explained much Of his melan-
choly. Mr.. Murdoch gives considerable
attention to Chopin's liaison with
George Sand, because she played such
an important part in his life. "She
was both the worst and the best in
fluence iii his existence, for without
her interest and encouragement and
the cultural effect of her circle of
celebrated friends he would never
have developed to such high artistic
plane; yet there can be no doubt that
her treatment hastened his end. After
their separation he composed nothing
of any importance. Life was empty;
he even looked forward to his ap-
preaching death" Mr.. Murdoch be-
lieves that Chopin's fame will re
main unchallenged as long as the art
of music lives" even though belittlers
of his genius maintain that his
sentimentality is more fitted for the
sick room, the school room and the
boudoir than for the concert room
and the study" Those who study the
major works Of Shopin realize that
he wrote little that can be labeled
weakly sentimental and very much
that is heroic"
