DANGER SIGNAL. BY Phyllis Bot
tome. Boston: Little, Brown &
Co.
Mrs. Bottome, that prolific pen
woman, has written very nice little
story here. 1t is the tale of PSYCHE
artists successful effort to prevent a
young woman from committing mur-
der and is virtually one of those de-
tective stories of the mind, the in
terest being in the psychiatric
sleuthing.
The young woman in question, a
sensible girl in the main, finds that
her own false lover is making ad-
vances to her younger sister. The
combination of treacheries is more
than she can endure and she begins
to think of killing the young man.
The psychiatrist happens to meet
her and detects in her conduct the
danger signal. She (the psychiatrist
is a woman) then sets about to cor
rect the errors of the situation. She
succeeds in doing so.
1t is perfectly harmless and ade-
quately amusing little tale. AS far
as the reviewer is concerned, Mrs.
Bottome is always better being cas-
ual than being serious, though, for
some reason or other, she thinks of
herself as serious novelist and takes
her writing very seriously. But her
best talent lies in the merely enter
tanning mode.
ARABIAN ANTIC. BY Ladislas
Farago. New York: Sheridan
House
THE RAPE OF PALESTINE. BY
William B. Ziff. New York:
Longmans, Green & Co.
These two books may well be
read together. It would be hard to
find two works more different in
mood or in manner. But they deal
with the same subject and that
subject Is one which is now receiv-
ing good deal of attention. The
very Wilderness of the gulf between
the pair makes them, In a way,
related.
MIR. Farago is a rafting, enter
tanning writer, purely journalistic
but in good tradition. He had a
notion that he wanted to visit the
Yemen and, though passport diff
culties began to occur Immediately.
he managed to get into the desired
land. On the way there and back
he also contrived to get around over
much of Arabia and the Red Sea.
He tells of his travels sometimes
in the light comedy vein of the
merely entertaining travel writer.
Fairly frequently, however, he al
lows himself > to examine the grave
problems which lie behind the Near
Eastern question-the rivalry be-
tween Italy and England, the du-
bious stability of England's position,
the plight of the natives who are
pawns between the powers-and
then he usually has something per-
tinent to say. He takes no sides and
betrays no passions. He sees Italy
as determined and unscrupulous
interloper, England as a cautious
and experienced old campaigner and
the natives as hapless poor folk who
will probably get the small end, no
matter how the conflict comes out.
His humor and his sure touch will
go far to make his book agreeable
to the casual reader, while his po-
litical observations may well hold
the attention Of the serious.
Mr.. zitf, on the other hand, is
writing in vein of passionate Bit
terness against the English be

Cost of War To
 Great Britain Is $23,S0O,OOO a Day

UNDATED, Nov. g lP)-Great Britain learned from her chan cellor of the EXchequer Sir John Simon, the war is costing her twenty three million eight hun dred thousands dollars a day, while maritime losses particular y from the mine streWn east coast of Britain, continue to mount.
 The newest naval casualty was the British destroyer Gipsy which struck a mine and then was beached. Forty men were listed as missing. A Greek freight CT was also added to the toll. At least IS ships have gone down near Britain in the past week as a result of mines or submarine torpedoes.
 Sir John Simon mentioned the magnetic mines which he at tributed to Germany, as the cause of the sudden heavy mari time losses.
 Germany poked fun at the Brit ish intelligence service declaring that German secret police were in radio contact with the British agents and fooled them into be- lieving they were anti-Hitler reVolutionists.
 Hitler conferred with his war chiefs at the annual reception of the Reichis air, sea and land fighting forces. Both Germany and the allies claimed success in air warfare. A German com munique declared that four French planes were downed on the Western Front where land fighting remained at a minimum.
 A French communique report ed that six German planes were shot down near Franche Conte after a lone raider was driven off from Paris this morning.
 A repercussion of the war was the resignation of the Rumanian government headed by Premier l Aret5tanu, after the cabinet split over trade negotiations with Ger many. The German-Rumanian negotiations broke down when the Bucharest government held out against German pressure for more foodstufis and oil from Ru- mania at a lower cost.

Germany and Allies Make Conflicting Claims

UNDATED, Nov. 24 (4D The conflict in the far cast spurted to new activity and in Europe the war of words continued to hold the limelight with air and sea developments.
 The Japanese reported the con quest of Manning, in Kwangsi province, the capital of South China in drive designed to severe the vital supply lines from Chungkwing, the Chinese capital. Nanning's fall was an- nounced after a ten days drive from the South China coast.
 The German high command as serted that Nazi sub claimed credit for the torpedoing and damaging of the British cruiser BeIfaa. al the Firth of Forth. Earlier reports of such damage by-a- sub or a mine drew neither confirmation or denial by Brit ,5h officials.
 A lone German scouting plane returned from the British Isles flying over the Shetland Islands. The results of yesterdays air battles brought conflicting claims from the beiligerents. A French communique said the allies brot down eight German scouting planes and said they lost only one of their craft. The German command said it's fiers bagged three anemy aircraft with no loss e5 of their own.
 The war on the sea lanes, in which ten vessels were added to the list of victims, caused new moves by Britain and Germany
 Britain studied the methods to combat the mines of the latest type which are reported being dropped by parachute from Nazi warplanes. To spur the scquisi- ion of supplies, arm in arm with

 Fired On By Canadian

SEATTLE, Nov. p Capt. A. J. Borkland, master of the SS North Coast arrived at Seattle from an Alaskan trip, reported a Canadian naval vessel had fired a shot across the bow of the steamer at Prince Rupert
 Capt. Borklsnd said his ship carried 78 passengers and a crew of 75.

 Captain Borkland thought if was necessary to keep the steam CT moving to safeguard against grounding, but stopped immed- lately at the warning shot.
 The Captain said he had report ed ahead upon departure from Juneau on Sunday that he was going to stop at Prince Rupert
 A Canadian officer at Esqui- mault naval base said the officer in the examination service o1 ships was within his rights ir firing a shot across the bow ot any vessel which failed to stor upon order, but added it was ar error of judgement if the officer tried to stop an American shir in dangerous waters.

InventiOn Of
 Alaskan May Find War Use

Electric fire, the deadly inven- ton of an Alaskan miner, may be used in the present war, says the Juneau Empire.
 Char es Strom, oldtime mech anic and steelWorker who has lived at Council on Seward Pen insula for 30 years, developed the electric fire bomb, to be dropped from airplanes, near the end of the World War. He went to Washington and was received by Secretary of War Newton D. Baker who obtained all rights to the Strom invention for the US Army. The war ended before it could be used in the conflict.
 Strom, visiting in Juneau a few days enroute south, says his electric fire had proven devas-
 ating in tests. It even burned on snOWdrlfts and on wetc-,
 Strom has been in Alaska since 1909, when he went to Prince William Sound to work for the A. c. Company. In 1900 he drove 50 head of cattle over White Pass into Dawson where they sold at $1 per pound on the hoof.

Newsies-They
Deserve to Live;
Pay Them Up!
(Reprinted by Request)

Next to a man who steals from
the collection plate in his favorite
church are those who purchase
newspapers from boys and girls
and then refuse to pay them.
Many boys and girls, anxious to
get ahead by earning spending
money for themselves by selling
newspapers, complain that some
of their customers refuse to pay
them for their papers.
These agents are hard working,
honest young people with courage
enough to hustle for themselves.
They refuse to remain idle and
wait for mama and papa to give
them every dime they spend. They
deserve the support of the public.
They will be the successful men
and women of tomorrow.
1t is discOuraging to them when
their customers do not pay them
for the papers served. They must
pay the newspaper owners whether
their customers pay them or not.
The profit which they earn is eaten
up when a few of their customers
refuse to pay them.
It is a shameful reflection upon
anyone who refuses to pay these
little salespeople the money due
them. It breaks down their mo-
rale and causes them to lose faith
in and respect for older people.
Don't be a "meanie." Pay the
boys and girls who serve you your
newspaper.-Philadelphia Tribune,

down payment and a few notes in

thing to have, but it is also one of
the most expensive luxuries that a
person with medium circumstances
