"Acute Need" Is Stressed.
Confirmation of the acute need"
in Britain for more doctors also
came from Dr. John r. Mote of the
American Red Cross Harvard Hos
pital in England.
He declared that Britain needs
doctors because of the aerial born
bardment of population centers, the
threat of epidemic disease due to the
crowding the civilians, and the needs
of troops moving rapidly over a far
flung front.
Fast movement of modern troops,
he said, has made it necessary for
doctor and his hospital to travel on
wheels. Where base hospital could
handle a heavy case load in former
wars, he said, physicians at the front
now have been able to care for fewer
cases per doctor because of limited
facilities.

The British doctors have been under
severe strain and medical services

diluted.
"Britain's appeal to the American
Red Cross for 1000 of our young

to meet a real need" he said.
Chairman Davis explained that
for service with the British Army
Medical Corps, the British Red Cross
has asked for male American doctors
under 40 years of age. Doctors up
to As years will be accepted for
service with the Emergency Medical
Service. The applicants will be
asked to serve for minimum of one

Bv w. Somerset Maugham.
Ne,U York: Doubleday, DOran
d Co.
This novelette, presents MI
Maugham in his pot-boiling man
ner. He has written it apparently
with very little interest in what he
was doing. He tells story suffl-
ciently ingenious to hold the atten-
ton, but uninspired and essentially
without reality. 1t is of young and
gloriously beautiful widow, who, on
the eve of becoming engaged to a
man prominent in public life, COM
mits a most improbable indiscretion;
she invites a cafe musician to be
her lover. AS consequence. she
comes close to being involved in
scandal. A man of no account helps
her to extricate herself, rascal
known to be unscrupulous and OF
bad morals.
The point of the tale lies in the
circumstance that the lovely widow
falls genuinely in love with this de-
plorable fellow because of the un-
derstanding manner in which he has
accepted her own lapse and decides
that he will make a better life COM
panion than her distinguished and
irreproachable fiance, who renounces
her, anyway.
Even in his pot-boiling mood. Mr..
Vaughan tilts against society's rules
and regulations. But he does it
here in the most stuffily conven-
tional manner in the world.

Fan Dance at Cockcrow

By Daniel Carson Goodman.
Ne1O York: Wiltgred Funk,
Inc.
This is a study of that section
of Manhattan's smart set which is
popularity known as Cafe Society,""
The heroine, Iris La Mari, is a beau
tiful ex-mannequin with just enough
mind to be troubled by it, who feels
her life is tragedy. She is in
love with frustrated novelist, Peter
Gaunt, but is afraid that marriage
with him would be calamitous to
both. She leaves Peter and goes to
live uptown in the fashionable
Pettengill Towers, lavish apartment
hotel owned by an ardent admirer,
Dudley Pettengill. In the Towers,
Iris meets Jerome Joyce. an egotis-
tical architect; Ramon. an Argentine
dancer, and Rita, a deceiving gang
ster's moll, but it is not until Peter
and his bride Lutte move in that the
plot becomes an involved one.
Mr.. Goodmans characters are all
superficial, and he is not even mod
erately successful in bringing any of
them to lifelike proportions. Al
though the action discloses much
intrigue, including one robbery, two
murders and a suicide, the author
does not have the dramatic ability
to make the novel more than pass
ably interesting. j. w. RUPPEL, Jr.

My Blood and My Treasure
By Mary Schumann. NeU
York. Dial Press.

By Mary Schumann. NeD
York. Dial Press.
History books, as rule, treat the
War of 1872 with kid gloves, because
with a few exceptions, the United
States distinguished itself only by
its ineptitude Textbooks generally
touch on the burning of the Capitol
by the invading British and move
hastily to more glorious events, such
as the victory of Oliver Hazard Perry
on Lake Erie. 1t is with this par
ticular battle and events leading up
to it that this historical novel deals
largely, although the early parts tell
of the land fighting with the
"bloodybacks" and the Indians Of
Tecumseh in the Middle West and
around Detroit.
The narrative is wrapped around
Rufus Hazard, young adventurer, a
cousin of Perry, who, before he Is
through, has rescued Indian-be-
sieged Fort Wayne, has married a
part-Indian girl and has lost an arm
fighting with Perry on the Lawrence
his f1agship-against the superior
British fleet.
Familiar historical characters ap-
William Henry Harrison, Pres
ident Madison; Tecumseh the Shaw
nee and others. Perhaps the best
writing is found in the description
of the death of Logan, the faithful
Shawnee, whose pledge to a white
foster father years before kept him
loyal to the Americans even against
his relative, Tecumseh.
