Rivers to the Sea

By Lucien Hubbard (Simon G.
Schuster.)
1t seems as if the whole country
is having romantic awakening in
the minds of the writer's of fiction.
One of the latest sections to come
under the scrutiny of the fiction
eers is the river country from Pitts
burgh to Natchez, and very good
reading it makes, too, when skill
fully handled.
In Rivers to the Sea-" both the
country and the era of the early
1800s fare we'll at the hands of
Lucien Hubbard, who spins yarn
of the first steamboat to sail the
Ohio and Mississippi from Pitts
purgh to New Orleans. While his
riverboat adventures may seem far
fetched in this effete age, there
is no denying that they are thrill
ing. Nor is there lack of feminine
interest in the tale of an early

bands ward, Lucy, fair young

The Bond Between Us
By Frederic LoonliS, M. D

BY Fredertc LOOnl1S, M. u.
(Knopf)
DR.. Loomis has written another
interesting volume on the relation
ship between doctor and patient.
In the course of his "reminiscences,
he tells many anecdotes of the hos
pital and consultation room, which,
because they chiefly concern women
and birth, will be of especial inter
est to women. He does not quite
succeed in clarifying his premise
that there is a mysterious tie be-
tween all people which transcends
knowledge and skill, and that this
bond is more important between
doctor and patient than it is in
other human contacts. But perhaps
that premise does not need clarifi-
cation. 1t is unconsciously acknowl-
edged by everybody who goes to
doctor for any reason and then
either does or does not repeat his
visit for reasons aside from medical
treatment.
In addition to his medical anec-
dotes, DR.. Loomis tells some of his
own spiritual adventures in this and
other countries that maze interest
ing reading. R. r. TAYNTON.

When Christopher Columbus, after
years of unsuccessful pleading in the
courts of Europe, persuaded Ferd-
inand and Isabella to underwrite
the most portentous geographic dis
covery of all time, he opened up an
entirely new world for Europe dis
satisfied and weary with itself.
Samuel Eliot Morrison, in his recently
published Admiral of the Ocean
Sea-" has caught the wonder and
glory of the four voyages of Colum-
bus, showing the character of the
man against the problems of colonial
life which had shaped themselves
even in his lifetime. This work
combines lively style with the most
painstaking research.
Before many years had passed,
Spanish hegemony in the New
World was threatened by England
and France, recently grown strong
in Europe and casting covetous eyes
on the glittering treasure ships sail
ing to Spain from as far away as
Manila. The Spanish Main: Focus
of Envy. 1492-1700," by Philip Aims
worth Means, is an exhaustive study
of these national rivalries in the
Caribbean. The material is selected
so skillfully and presented SO lucidly
that the days when English free
hooters preyed on Spanish galleons
are thrillingly recreated.
AS Spanish possessions were con-
solidated in Mexico, Peru and else
where, the local authorities made
every effort to push the frontier
further north in search of gold, and
to create buffer against the French
and English. Herbert Bolton gives
a short but entertaining summary
of Spanish exploration and settle

boundaries of the United States in
The Spanish Borderlands."

The Days Between

By Elizabeth Foster. (HdrperJ
This is another of the many books
concerning the fall Of France. but
this time the author treats the
tragedy as material for light ro-
mantle fiction. AS such, 1t Is well
done, but it is bit of shock to
read a book nowadays where the
invasion of France is used as a
background for the piquant love
problems of six wordlings, cast out
temporarily from their luxurious
security.
They are not ordinary refugees.
Willy is the head of huge French
armaments factory; Marthe, his
mistress, is famous dressmaker;
Simon is a Nazi-hating Communist,
while his wife, Solange, is the
daughter of an important member
of Parliament. The lesser lights in
the group include a music hall
singer and an American architect.
They flee Nazi-occupied Paris and
are forced to seek shelter in an
abandoned chateau. Accustomed
to an easy life, they are not equipped
for the task of simply keeping alive
and warm, of finding food and cook
ing it. After their three-day stay,
Miss Foster would have you believe,
they see life in a different light.
Of course, they escape to Bordeaux
The people seem real enough in

Russia and Japan
By Maurice HinduS. Double.
dau, Dordn.)

By Maurice HinduS. Double
day, DoranJ
War between Russia and Japan
is inevitable, and only the sudden
collapse of the Nipponese can avert
it, in the opinion of the author of
this book. He says that more than
5000 border clashes have occurred
on the Manchukuo-Siberia frontier
during the last few years and that
three of these outbreaks developed
into major battles involving the
use of bombers, tanks and heavy
artillery. Japan, he explains, was
testing Russia's military strength
and at the same time, trying to stop
efectual aid to China. However,
all the major encounters resulted
in defeat for the Japanese. accord
ing to Mr.. Hindus, who reports that,
in one battle alone in Mongolia,
they lost $4,000 men by their own
admission.
Mr.. HinduS believes these clashes
will continue until they develop into
full-Scale war, because of Japan's
desire for the rich natural resources
of Siberia and also because her an
nounced policy of Asia for the
Asiatics" cannot tolerate a power
full and ideologically hostile neigh
Dor. But he holds that Russia will
combat Japan with the same ef-
fective means she has used against
Germany-"scorche earth,' guer-
rilla warfare and no fifth column"
activities - and will eventually
emerge victorious.
Since Japan has proved her in
ability, in the three major battles
in Manchukuo and Mongolia, to de-
feat Russia alone. Mr.. Hindus con-
tends that to gain her ends in
Siberia, she must strike now. while
the Soviet is engaged with Ger
many In the west. Victory over
Germany. he points out, would leave
Russia free to throw all her power
against Japan. DAVID MOORE.

The WORST DANCER

THERE is a good deal more to
making grand slams than the
mere being able TO take the first
couple Of tricks in each suit. Slam
conventions which enable you to
find out whether your partner has
certain top cards are fine as far
as they 90, but you must not lean
too heavily on them. Their great
est danger. in the hands Of most
players, is that they lure you into
slams which cannot be made be-
cause you have to lose some OF the
lower tricks. to queens. jacks and
still smaller cards. Seldom is
there a deal on which you can
make a grand slam unless 1t con-
tains some suit in which you can
run more than three immediate
tricks.
