best portions of the Hay letters and
personal diaries. It is worthy
companion piece to the biography.
Apart from his selection for which
he is deserving of thanks and praise,
Prof. bennett has given us illumi-
mating footnotes, where necessary,
though by no means obstrusively.
For the rest, the volume is John
Hay at his best and Hay is no waste
of any mans time, you may be
assured.
There was no one in better posi-
ton to see the workings of Abra-
ham Lincoln and his administration
during the four momentous years Of
the Civil War than young John Hay,
who was the Presidents personal
secretary. You do not have to read
more than one of Mr.. Hays letters
to find that he was a shrewd OBJ
server, keen judge of human char
acter and wit of first water.
There have been few better letter
writer's than this same Hay. who
wound up long and brilliant ca
reer as one of our outstanding Sec
retaries of State-he served under
both Mckinley and Roosevelt I. Hay
had the great gift of being able to
depict man in a single sentence.
His pictures of Washington politics
and society are sharp, pungent and
human to degree.
To young Mr.. Hay, Lincoln was a
great hero. Don't make the mis-
take, however, of thinking that Hay
is sentimental or that he tries to
idealize the Civil War Chief Exec
utive. Not at all. He takes some
little delight in recording in his
diaries some Of the human failings
of his chief, to whom he refers
usually as THE Ancient" or 1.-The
Tycoon"-pretty modern sound
that. These faults, however, are OF
somewhat the general effect OF
cracks, boulders and slides on a
great mountain-they merely con-
tribute to the rugged strength and
grandeur of the mighty peak.
Many of those who we're great
around him are speared with ter
ribly sharp pen by young Mr.. Hay
Always. he focuses very bright
light on people and events, lighting
up an obscure background for many
of the great events and characters
of our history.

Communist and young girl of an
old-established Jewish family. The
three meet and their lives entangle.
In the subsequent developments of
the tale the author has attempted
to deal symbolically with certain
political and economic forces now
active in Europe.
The young girl must be taken to
represent the soul of her race. sub
ject to humiliation and abuse, but
still untouched. The manufacturer
is one who, by his unscrupulous con-
duct, contributes to her sufferings,
but is himself defeated. The Com
munist takes the part Of lover and
savior. Herr Habe would have us
understand, seemingly, that the fate
Of the Jewish race is bound to Com
munism if that race is to realize its
destiny.
These representations are clear
enough, but the book. as a book, is
somewhat confused and over-emo-
tional. There is too much wavering
between the symbolical and the
literal in it; 1t falls between two

peaceful flresides, would have done
nicely indeed, and that all would
have been as merry as marriage
bell-what with the public pouring
into the bookshops hungry to learn
when the Fuhrer was planning to
descend upon our shores. and also
tickled at the idea of doing little
something for the refugees, before,
of course, we all become refugees
ourselves. But there is always fly
in every oinment. And it turned out
that there was a fly in this unex-
purgated edition.
For the firm of Houghton Mif1in.
which has the American copyright
on the expurgated-and authorized
edition, has objected to the meth
ods of Messrs. Stackpole g. Son in
getting the Fuhrer's confession tale
declared public property, and has
brought suit for infringement of
copyright. This suit has been filed
in the Federal District Court for the
Southern District of New York, and
is pending as the reviewer types
these words. The reviewer is like
wise informed that there is also
pending in that court motion for a
temporary injunction pending the
determination of the issues. She
gives you that just as it was given
her, and you may make of it what
you will. For herself, she makes
nothing of it whatsoever; she has
not the remotest idea what it means.
But she does think that the con-
trollers of legal language in the
United States are pretty free with
their "pendings." Did they never
hear of the deadening effect of
pointless repetition? Have they no
spare synonyms? Apparently not.
Meanwhile, to make the matter
still livelier, another publishing firm,
Reynal & Hitchcock, have rushed to
the market with a second unex-
purgated edition of the Fuhrer's
throbbing tale. Theirs, though also
advertised as complete, seems to be
shorter than Messrs. Stackpole e.
Sons; the reviewer has not had time
as she writes this, to examine the
two works side by side, but only by
her generally trusty method of
weighing. She reports that the
"Mein Kampf" of the Stackpole firm
tips the beam at two and three
quarters pounds, averdupois, and
that Messrs. Reynal g. Hitchcock's S
version comes in a full quarter
pound lighter. Just how the two
will shape up, facing one another in
the ring, is for time to decide.
One other very interesting point
of difference is in the translators.
The Reynal & Hitchcock firm an
nounces that its version was made
under the auspices of DR.. Alvin
johnson of the New School for So
cial >Research-a sufficiently dis
tinguished scholar, to be sure. But
Stackpole throws fine lurid glow
over it's edition by simply stating
that the translator is a well-known
authority whose name cannot be
given for fear of consequences.
Well, you pay your money and
take your choice. The reviewer has
read the Stackpole book and can
only say that Hitler lives like Alice
on the other side of the looking
glass. If you can get into his re-
verse logic the going is fine. If you
can't-keep your headache powders

Three Over the Frontier

6y auHS HlOe. 1TQnSL6Led
from the German by Eric Sut-
ton. New York: Dodd, Mead
e. Co.
This is a novel on the life of the
modern German refugee, differing
from most books of its kind in that
it does not dwell primarily on the
prosecutions inflicted by the Nazi
regime, but on the spiritual prob
lens which confront the prosecuted
after escape. Three types of refugee
are studied in the course of the
story, as its name indicates; they
are the wealthy Jew of the defensive
type, the Communist and the Jew
whose long acceptance in German
society has virtually eradicated race
consciousness.
The story opens dramatically
enough with a representative Of
each type fleeing over the Czech
frontier-a middle-aged Jewish

Tyler bennett, professor of inter-

common fiction of those periodicals,
it is pretty much the sort OF thing
which ordinarily goes to fill their
pages.
1t is the story of a young woman
who is literally sold into marriage
by her grasping, mercenary father.
The husband is well-meaning
enough, bus love is not in the union.
Happiness therefore) stays aloof.
We are treated to long descriptions
of the heroine's state of mind as
she bears three children to her
hated husband and dreams of the
man whom she really loved, and
this sort of thing, even when treated
with unsentimental straightness,
seems to the reviewer to need a
natural taste. Then by-and-by the
true love comes back-and the pre-
dictable happens; the heroine finds
that she has too many ties to her
home to want to leave 1t. And
so she does not leave it. She stays.
And one gathers that thereafter
she and her husband will stop beat
ing one another up and live trifle
more contentedly.
The background is that OF a
French Canadian farm community,
superstitious, almost medievally re-
ligious and ignorant. You sympa-
thize with the heroine, but you
think she made a big mistake IN
being born there in the first place.

The relief committee heard the
mayors of st. Paul and Minneapolis
and their experts on their relief
needs, and it was rather a depressing
picture. The Governors budget mes
sage also suggested relief needs, and
it will be up to this committee, of
which l am member, to work out
the amount and administration of
relief. Mayor Leach suggested that
we set standards, and that a person
living in other than their home local
ity, the home locality would pay the
bill. The idea of setting standards,
of course, would mean that the pay
would be the same wherever they
lived and therefore they would find it
cheaper to live in the country and
take the load from the cities On
Friday morning the committee voted
3,044, 900 for deficiency to June 80,
1889, and appointed a committee of
three, WEIGH, Thompson and Mann,
to amend the suggested measure as
to financing by borrowing, according
to the Governors suggestion.
The bill to regulate the loan sharks
has been on our general orders for
two days and will probably be passed
early in the week you read this.
