casting has been printed waiting for

We were interested to meet An

are one of those who are curious
about his career. He is an elderly
man who does not look it. Well tai
lored, slenderly athletic in appear
ance, with very blue eyes and curly
gray hair, he struggles engagingly
(and victoriously) with life, about
which he has written in Antoine by
Antoine"
Any man who could force the
meager prospects enjoyed by a poor
boy in Poland, to blossom into a
fabulous career which brought him
a fortune and celebrated clients
such as Sarah Bernhardt, Duse
Sorel, is quite a person.
"After the war everything will be
different" he said. Our duty is tt
make people forget the horrible
things they have endured. We
must not lose time. We must en-
able people to be useful and happy
so they forget the horrors. Talking
will not help; we must do some
thing"
And then Antoine explained his
plans. He will have a school, rur
at his own expense, where he will
train men and women in the arts
he knows. For his customers, hi
hopes to have a doctor and dentist
in many of his salons.

Mark Van Doren, associate pro-
fessor of English at Columbia Uni
versity, is a busy man.
John Marquand said once that a
man who teaches at Columbia is a
man who does everything but teach
at Columbia. But Mr.. Van Doren
isn't quite like that. He somehow
manages to do everything.
When he isn't teaching he's at
his home in Cornwall, Conn, where
he writes poems and novels and
critical essays on literature and edu-
cation. He won the Pulitzer Prize
for Poetry in 1910. His most recent
work was The Seven Sleepers,"
published this year. Some of his
other books are Collected Poems" "

into national prominence; the

President Wilson condemned the

ing the author-who blocked legis-
lation to permit this countrys mer-
chantmen to be armed; the League
of Nations fight, and the back
ground of adoption of the lame
duck" amendment which the Sen
ator fathered.
And throughout the narrative runs
the evidence of the dominant char
acteristic of Norris public life
never to evade an issue because Of
its unpopularity.

Here for the first time are the inti-
mate particulars.
1t is fitting that this book has
been chosen for reprint in an
Armed Forces edition. The methods
of his survival make admirable in
struction for any fighting man who
faces the possibility of being caught
behind enemy lines. And the faith
which the Guam natives had in
ultimate American victory, repeat
edly stressed by Mr. Tweed, shows
the place our Nation has won in the
hearts of the oppressed peoples of
the Pacific and the East Indeed,
as Mr.. Tweed emphasizes, all his
brilliant improvisations would have
gone to naught were it not for the
Chamorros of Guam who repeat
edly braved torture and death to
befriend and shelter him. Many
were caught in the Jap dragnet and
put to hideous pain, but no one
turned him in. When once or twice
intimidated persons or Jap sympa-
thizers gave the enemy patrols a
hint of his whereabouts, the grape
vine always got warning to him.
The hair-raising cat-and-mouse
game which went on for over two
and half years makes engrossing
reading for young and old alike. 1t
is an American epic of this war fit to
stand beside THE Raft" as a dem
onstration Of what American inge-
nuity can accomplish despite all
odds.
Mr.. Clark, who prepared the book
with Mr.. Tweed, now is Washing
ton resident. He is the author of
several previous books, including
Remember Pearl Harbor," and has
written fon Readers Digest. He ap-
peared recently at Catholic Uni
versity on writer's panel to pro-
mote the sale of War Bonds.

life as We refer to by the terms
"the Renaissance" "the Reforma-
tion,'' "the Industrial Revolution"
for example, have never appeared
in japanese history. The islanders
have developed in unbroken course
from being a primitive tribe and
have kept, moreover, their primi-
tive myths, believing themselves
descendants of the gods and their
land form of birth brought forth
by a goddess. We may smile at that,
but there it is, says Mr.. Maxi.
That is their Declaration of Inde-
pendence and their Paul Revere.
AS we prepare to go all out against
this last remaining aggressor, we
can learn good deal from reading
this discouraging work.

 The Rev. Wm. J. LeVasseur, s. J., who came to Juneau in 1880 from Montana, will go from here to Mont St. Michaels Church in Spokane, Wash. He has become well known during his stay in Juneau, partic- ularly for his work in connection with the building of the Shrine of Saint Terese.
 The Rev. Louis Fink will succeed the Rev. LeVasseur, coming to Ju- neau from Fairbanks, where he has been pastor of the Catholic Church there.
 The Rev. Edward Budde will go from Juneau to Port Townsend, Wash, and his successor in Juneau, the Rev. Wm. Mcintyre, will come here from the same place.
 The Rev. Budde has had many years of service in Alaska, having come to Juneau in 1883 from Fair banks and Nome.
 The many friends of Rev. Wm. Mcintyre will be happy to welcome him home again, as Juneau is his home town, and his father, Ed Mo Intyre, is a well known Juneau resident He is expected to arrive in Juneau today.
 The Rev. A. McNamara, s. J.,
