London Triumphant

By Sydney R. Jones. (Studio.J
For the Britisher or, better still,
the Londoner, Mr.. Jones has cov-
cred Interestingly and quite ade-
quately the historic places of Lon
don. His book is filled with sketches
and drawings, large part of them
by himself, and they cannot help
but revive mellow memories of those
who, though they may never have
been in the British capital, have
warm place in their hearts for these
many spots.
Mr.. Jones, Typographical drafts
man whose fame won for him the as
signment of recording the coronation
of King George vi and Queen Eliza
beth, recalls that Christopher Wren
once planned "a new London on an
old one" and built bit of it.
Throughout the book, he is, of
course, contemptuous of the destruc-
ton wrought by the Germans, but he
does say: Nov is the chance to
create something better than ever
known before. Not often do the
Huns appear In the light of bene-
factors to the human race.
So London, purged, revived and
vital, will rise again, glorious, city
worthy of its history; worthy of en-
pire. and Of all those who uphold
free institutions"

We live in what has aptly been
called the day of the amateur STRAIT
egist. Tactical problems are posed
and disposed of on every street
corner, and each engagement on dis
tant battle fronts has its verbal
counterpart at home. It is, fortu-
nately, quite unnecessary that we
enter these verbal conflicts un-
armed. The literature of military
strategy is comprehensive, authori-
tative and up to date, well equipped
to furnish factual, historical ant!
technical ammunition.
The most vociferously disputed
element of modern military strategy,
both in and out of print, is of course
the rule of air power. Already classic
is Alexander P. de Seversky's "Vic-
tory Through Air Power" at once
the most literate and the most We
hement defense of air power against
its disparagers. To be sure, Mai.
de Seversky stands squarely in his
own condemnation when he says
(speaking of the naval command)
that minds thoroughly trained and
set In certain direction automat-
ically reject facts that do not fall
into their accustomed mental pat
tern" The strong bias resulting
from his own circumscribed expert
ence, or accustomed mental pat
term" tends to add to the books
conviction if not to its authority.
1t makes advisable, however, the
tempering agency of a book writ
ten from a naval point of view, such
as Grenfell's Sea Power" or Schu-
berts Sea Power in Conflict" both
OF which consider air power at some

Green Fire
By Peter W. Rainier.

By Peter w. Rainier.
Random House,
Mining is always romantic, and
mining precious stones is even more
glamorous than mining precious
metals. Add to the precious stones
a wild country and a hero who has
many of the abilities of the inde-
structible "Tarzan," and you have
a mixture that makes a good adven-
ture book.
Mr.. Rainier went to Colombia at
the behest of group in New York,
a syndicate that owned the fabulous
Chivor mine. This mine, from which
the Spaniards extracted many valu-
able emeralds, was lost for long
time. Rediscovered, a strong hand
was needed to control it and insure
its success. How success was achieved
at the brink of failure is related
fully. Bandits plagued the region.
Diseases were plentiful. The climate
was intensely hot. cold, rainy or
what have you. Colombia is like
that.
During his years in Colombia, Mr..
Rainier managed to find the time
to rediscover the lost Goscuez emer-
aid mine as an agent of the Colon
bian government. Just when he had
established himself in feudal gran
deur on a hacienda of his own, the
war started and he departed for the
Middle East campaign.
Although not a part of the book,
his war experiences have been note
worthy. He was in the advance
guard that entered Sidi Barrani,
Tobruk and Bengasi in the first
British drive across the desert.
Later, elevated in rank, he became
associated with the general staff of
the Army of the Nile. He was men,
toned in dispatches "for devotion to
duty and service of except ional
merit" H. A. LYON.

The Amateur Scientist
By w. Stephen Thomas.

fNOfrOn.)
This volume, issued with the
backing OF the Carnegie Corp. Of
New York and the American Philo-
sophical Society Of Philadelphia, Is
intended as guide to the amateur
who wishes to take some active and
useful part In scientific research,
A survey has been made Of such
possibilities in the PHILADELPHIA
area. In many cases the advance Of
science depends on the gathering Of
q vast number Of separate observa-
tions, such as Of the time Of bloom
ing Of various flowers, the first ap-
pearance Of birds, etc. The obser-
vations Of the amateur, II they are
made with scientific accuracy, may
be OF extreme alue.
On the other hand, the amateur
without guidance Is likely to be
wasting his time and making 4
nuisance Of himself.
The survey in the Philadelphia
area may be applied, with appro-
pirate notifications, to other parts
OF the country. T. n. n

Turning Leaves
By Ellen Proctor. (Dodd,
Mead.)
(Dodd,

MeadJ
In the Middle West, four genera
tions of traceable family is guaran-
teed to provide prestige comparable
to Mayflower ancestry in New Eng
land. The Livingstons, in Miss
Proctor's novel, had not only been
in Minnesota a long time, but they
boasted, among their forebears, a
lady whose singing was reputed to
have won her wide fame.
So the Livingstons-James Liv-
ingston w and his family-were
aristocracy of the first water in
Riverside, MINI. Broke, perhaps,
but proud and patrician nonethe-
less. The struggle of various men,
bers of the family to recoup the
splendors once enjoyed by their
antecedents is really the substance
of Miss Proctors book
Turning Leaves" is the 1912
Dodd, Mead $4,000 prize novel. It
is not likely to create any large
clamor in literary circles. A thinly
developed story, the ramifications of
character and plot touched upon by
Miss Proctor are never allowed to
60 beyond superficial presentation
It Is only when the author begins
talking about the Livingston house
and furnishings, about the clothes
worn by the sisters, Julia and
Gabrielle, that the book attains the
quality suggested by the awarding
of $4,000 prize.
