Old Bill and Son

By Bruce BaTnStather and
Ian Ddlrynlple. Philadelphia:
DuDid Mckay.
"Old Bill and Son" is intended
to portray a contrast in wars and
in the attitudes of the older and
younger generations toward the
present one. 1t is only partially
successful.
The scenes, both in England and
in France, are laid in the pre-
blitzkrieg or static period of the
war, when no one knew what was
coming. To this reviewer the ac-
ton seems to drag, and the Incl
dents are forced. particularly the
climax, when Old and Young Bill
wind up in a shell hole together
under fire. The impression is given
that all the rest of the book is a
mere preliminary or background
to this one scene. Also from time
to time the authors break into bitter
philosophy against the Nazis, which.
though justified, is hardly suitable

The story of Elias Boudinot
Cherokee, as told by Prof. Gabriel,
Is an authentic and well-docu-
mented account of the important
part this Indian. educated in the
New England Puritan tradition,
PLAYED in the removal of his people
from Georgia to Oklahoma and the
significance of this removal in the
history of America.
Boudinot was known among the
Cherokees as Galagina, the Buck,
until he entered the Foreign Mis-
sion School at Cornwall, Conn, in
1918 and adopted the name OF the
great New Jersey philanthropist, as
we'll as the Christian religion. 1t
was while he was a student in the
Mission School that he met Harriet
Gold. whom he later married. The
opposition of the New England COM
munity TO this marriage across the
race line, the burning Of Harriet
in effigy and her life with her
Indian husband working as mis-
sionary among his people are vivid
" described in the letters of Harriet
Gold.
The book, which has an index,
illustrations and a map. is part Of
the Civilization of the American
Indian" series. and. though its in
terest to the general reader is linn
tied, 1t will undoubtedly prove OF
value to the student of American

By Julian Lee Rdytord. Neio
York: Charles Scribner's Sons.
This is the story of the Brewster
family in Mobile, Ala-or to be more
exact. of Paul Brewster, the seventh
son. 1t is tale of youth-of growing
boys, their problems, pleasures and
life in a Southern city whose sur
rounding Swamps are the home OF
the deadly cottonmouth mocassin
The son of a railroad man and an
intelligent woman, Paul. who has
latent artistic possibilities and for
whom his widowed mother hopes
great things, spends his youth among
the ragamuffins of Mobile. learning
to lie, swear and steal with the best
of them, instead of blossoming out
as the artist he would like to be. In
the end, he revolts against this life,
and after a futile brush with college,
the book ends as he hitch hikes to
Texas. to California, mister, to
America"
Never having been in Mobile, this
reviewer cannot vouch for the pic
ture of that city, its life and environs
in the first quarter of the goth CEN
tury. But as entertainment. the
book is only fair. In his effort to-
ward a realistic approach and con-
siderable detail the author subjects
the reader to lapses Of interest.
Nanny, the cook and nurse for tbs
impecunious Brewsters, is perhaps
the best character, although none
are outstanding.

By Joseph Gottonto. Ne1D Yo'h' ;

This book, a study of modern
methods of international espionage.
was originally published in 1889. The
present edition contains all that
was included in the previous vol
ume, with a supplementary chapter
on the manner in which the work
OF spies has contributed to the pres
ent war. According to the author.
the spy is the secret weapon of
which Hitler boasted in the early
days of the blitzkrieg.
He tells how spies co-operated
with the invading German troops in
Norway, Holland. Belgium, and, to
less detailed extent, in France.
In many cases, the secret agents
were fully equipped with the uni
forms Of the armies of the invaded
countries. says Mr.. Gollomb, and
by this he means not single 1ndivid-
uals, but whole companies of troops.
The story of the preservation Of
the Moerdyk Bridge in Holland Is
an instance of this kind of pene-
tration. The Dutch had prepared
the structure for instantaneous ex-
ploSion in case of an invasion, and
it was heavily guarded by regular
army troops. The day before Ger
many struck, the relieving company
came on at the usual time, but it
was not the usual company. 1t was
one composed entirely of Nazi
agents, properly uniformed. An off,
Ger suspected something and made
a movement to check withdrawal;
whereupon the Nazis. evidently act
ing by prearranged plan. coolly shot
down every man of the company
they were supposed to relieve. Nazi
workmen then appeared and re-
moved the explosives. When the
German tanks arrived, the bridge
was not destroyed, but was safe for
passage. guarded by their own fell
low soldiers.
These and similar tales make up
Mr.. Gollomb's supplement, to which
he adds a warning that our own
country, not less than the countries
of Europe, is subject to the same
kind Of boring from within.

While all the threads of the not

by the disjointed character of some
parts of the story Perhaps the
machinery Of bringing the various
characters together is too obvious.
perhaps TOO much of the irrelevant
history of some of the characters
is given. but the book as a whole
lacks pace. One is interested in the

Spurs on the Boot
By Thomas B. Morgan. NelC
York: LonqndnS Green e. Co.

This amounts TO a history of II
Duce- slippers. 1t is the work of
an American newspaperman who
was, for a long time, stationed in
Rome, who did the writing on a
series of Syndicated articles which
Signor Mussolini simply signed and
who. generally speaking. seemed TO
enjoy an unusual degree OF the
dictatorial confidence. 1t is not in
any sense of the word a scandal
mongering volume-be that under
stood. But Mr.. Morgan followed the
head FaSclSt'S career very closely
and attained an informality of ap-
proach at party headquarters. He
traces in this volume the various
events on which MuSSolini was lift
ed to power. but does so by way of
II Duce's personal reactions rather
than by writing history straight.
He tells of Mussolmi'S youthful
chicanery: he is amusing about the
development of the pop eyed
stance; he describes the f1edgling
SdCSdI d4lAlClN OtCl lllC
of fork at his first diplomatic din
ner: he recounts the development
of the exquisite dictatorial taste in
uniforms which. at one period. was
not so unerringly sure: he gives
an anecdote of the Duce'S refusal
to kneel at st. Francis shrine in his
gold embroidered garments; he
takes up the manner chosen for
giving dismissals to faithful friends
and followers: he goes into the Mus
solini family life, though inoffen-
sively. He is breezy and epigram-
matte with it all. Jack Oakie, in
The Dictator" made the Great
Man very funny. And Mr.. Morgan
here runs Jack a close second in
the same admirable pursuit.
