Russio's Fighting Forces
By Sergei N. Kournakof
(Duell. Sloan & Pedrce.)

(DueH, Sloan & Pedrce.)
The author of this book is for
mer captain in the Russian Imperial
Army. At the time of the revolu-
ton his outfit remained loyal to the
Car and fought the revolutionary
troops to the last. He then fed his
native land and, for a number OF
years, has lived in the United States
Obviously, he owes no political
loyalty to the Soviet government
Noretheless, he has written book
of enthusiastic praise OF the conduct
of the Soviet armies IN the present
war, and has reiterated emphatlcally
that he considers the splendid per-
formance of the Russian troops to
stem from the wise nature OF the
Communist regime.
His book is, in fact. the testament
of a delighted patriot who sees his
country distinguishing itself and can
not resist giving a cheer. The state
of mind makes a strong appeal to
any readers sympathies and auto
matically cuts down the sales resist
ance which ordinarily might be felt
toward so uncritical book.
The first part OF the work is a
historical survey Of Russia's military
achievements. Americans. says Capt.
Kournakoff, think of Russia's wars
in terms of the Russo-Japanese con-
flict and Tannenberg. Before she
suffered these defeats, however, Rus
sia had centuries of military glory.

Family Honeymoon
Bu Homer CrOu.

BY Homer Croy. (HarperJ
Against a background OF typical
small-town people and typical small
town gossip Homer Croy has written
humorous story of the marriage Of
an attractive young widow with four
children TO a serious-minded pro-
fessor Of botany at the local college.
The situation does not easily lend
itself to humorous treatment,
though, and it is not until the widow,
now Mrs. Jordan, decides to take
her entire family along on her
honeymoon to romantic Grand Can
yon that the authors sense of humor
is given full play.
Hilarious evenings spent aboard
Pullmans, with the children racing
about and generally adding to the
discontinue of their stepfather,
whom they persist in calling Mr..
Jordan; the wild night when an
Indian mistakes Jordan for prowl-
er and almost shoots him. and the
day that the two boys run away
with a carnival, all bring out Mr..
Croy's fair for comedy.
Above all. Mr.. Croy is an excel
lent child psychologist, and the book
shines nowhere more than in the
many sections devoted to the antics
of Jordan's newly acquired brood
Add to this a fine understanding Of
the habits of small-town folk, plus
a fast-moving narrative and you
have an entertaining novel.

Forward the Notion
By Donald Culross Peattie

By DOndld CuTOSS Pedttte.
fPutndm'sJ
Mr.. Peattie's latest work is the
story of the Lewis and Clark Expe-
dition. Long noted for his honesty.
perception and skill with words, the
author has written with much
charm about one Of the most ex-
traordinary feats in American his
tory.
The action is the actual expert
ences of the people who partici-
pated in the exploration of the Mis-
souri,. mingling escapes from rapids
or bears with the heroic tolls of their
progress through the wilderness.
They travelled over the Continental
Divide, all the way to the Pacific
and back again. journey that
took nearly three years. The party
consisted Of 81 men, woman and
a baby.
The author has drawn an ad-
mirable heroine in Sacajawea, the
17-year -old Indian girl who acted
as guide and interpreter and who
contributed so much to the success
of the expedition. She confronted
dangers unflinchingly. always conf
dent, ever cheerful. Her part in the
book completely overshadows that
of the two heroes.
Mr.. Peattie travelled over much
of the Lewis and Clark route and
performed conscientious research
among all the original journals and
documents. He insists that no char
acter in his story is imaginary and
that all the events are true

A Man From the Balkans
By Emilian Glocar. (Dorrdnt

By Emilidn Glocdr. (DorrdnceJ
This is a translation by Fern
Long of a novel which purports to
show the love and adventures of
a peasant from the mountains OF
Serbia Alexey. the simple hero, has
adventures with man-eating wolves:
leaves his dead infant daughter
on the steps Of church and runs
off to sea; murders man, more or
less in self f-defense: and finally finds
happiness in a second marriage with
a recent immigrant from his home
land.
The story has plot and action
enough. but Alexey himself and the
other characters in the book seem
nebulous. The action is no out
growth of character, and the ad-
ventures seem To have no relation
ship to life as we know it, although
the book is written in realistic, not
romantic manner.
Mr.. Glocar is the winner of sew
eral prizes in Prague. This is his
first work published in America. and
it is interesting as an example Of
what sort of fiction wins literary
prizes in Middle Europe.

His book then proceeds to the

leaders, heroes, equipment and the
rest of it. The account of the STRAIT

The Russians, says Capt. Kour-
nakoff. simply followed the precept
of Clausewitz, which counseled a
country defending itself from inva-
sion to have its forces fall back un-
til the attackers were drawn into the
interior and then take advantage
of atteunated enemy lines to attack
more effectively than otherwise
would be possible. 1t has been the
habit of the Russians, he says, in
meeting a panzer thrust, to open
their lines and allow the spearhead

The unique feature of the Red
