ns for the unmitigateif horror ot the sequel. Sylvia is the "nice" girl, whom England and A produce in thousands. Her ignorance, when she married van Tuiver, ia not greater than that of the thousands of other nice girls. Her confession to Mary ABbott, the elderly woman whose devotion to Sylvia is another of the queer truths in the picture, may sound incredible, but those who have any acquaint; ance with the girls of our npper-nuddlo classes know it for fact. So far, Mr.

Upton Sinclair is convincing. Sylvia is charming. She 'is eager, intelligent, courageous. But she has to be enlightened. With what a sigh does the reader realise that fact There are so many of these enlightening novels, and they are all so much alike, and the sum-total of depression gained by the reading of them is so unutterable that criticism all but faints under it.

Crucible Steel was the centre of activity and touched a new record st 92, and United States Alcohol also reached a record at 69. Bethlehem Steel advanced slightly, then reacted.

Later, Rails began to sag and in many eases in the second hour fell rapidly to below yesterday's close. Bethlehem Steel gav way 12 points, General Motors 6 and Crucible Steel 7. The market closed heavy. Government bonds steady. Railroad bonds easy.

The day's sales totalled 320,000 shares. Money on call dull and nominal. Sterling exchange rates eaBy, 25 to 60 points lower. Silver commercial bars are unchanged. The Stock Exchange commenced the week with a more comprehensive rise, especially in Railways, the recent unsettled feeling having given way to what appeared to be excellent fundamental conditions.

Highly speculative issues at first were checked by the banks' objection to their being used tor collateral. Standard stocks, including Rails, were well taken and a marked increase in outside interest has been noticed. Conspicuous Btreogtih developed, and the breadth of buying revealed a wide publio inquiry. There was also evidence of pressure against the bear element and purchases for investment. Industrials again scored later, especially Bethlehem and Crucible Steel, operators thinking that the rece nt slump had served as a severe test to issues of that description.

Chicago Rock Island end Pacific showed a material improvement on talk i a better outlook for the road. War stocks continued the favonrites, and Bethlehem and other similar descriptions made good gains. U.S. Steel Corporation developed buoyancy, mainly through encouraging reports from the Steel and Copper trades. Sluggishness consequently ruled in the Railroad list, with Canadian Pacific and Chicago Milwaukee leading a retrograde movement.

Grain crop reoortjt 'are anxinnelv a.waifH of it. Mr. Sinclair's treatment oi a subject which his publishers call difficult and delicate is frank, but not more brutal than the subject demands, if it is to be handled in fiction at all. That fiction must deal with these things is an idea that has become an obsession with many modern novelists. And when a thing becomes plicity his experiences for the first six months of the war in the American Hospital at JJenilly.

The tales of the wounded (they are not allowed to talk of the war for the first fortnight) show war at its grimmest and the French spirit at its sternest. The Abbe, like the rest of us, has been struck by the extraordinary optimism of the English soldiers. When I ask them how they are, they must be actually dying if they don't answer, Getting on or even Getting- on It was on September 7 that the hospital received its -first batch of wounded English One hsa a bullet in his throat, another a orushed foot; the nest are wounded (ln the hands, the arms, the legs, tbe -poor limbs so blue, and frightfully swollen. Except one poor wretch, suffering from acute appendicitis, they are all jolly and good-humoured; wa have a to insist upon their sitting; down, even those with wounded feet. The only thing they complain of, and that with laughter, is that they nave not been able to wash for some days, nor to hare undressed for weeks." And it is pleasant, in view of some recent criticisms, to find the Abbe adding a postscript to the effect that "The English people and that great, upright man (Lord Kitchener) have done twice as much as they promised." Mr.

Bachan on Netn Chapelle. The sixth volume of Mr. John Buohan's "History of the War (Nelson, Is. net) is largely concerned with the Battle of Neuve ChapeUe and the opening of the Dardanelles campaign. The analysis of the battle of March 10-12 will give to many readers their first clear idea of the operations, and of the way in which (partly through individual blunders and partly through un-propitiovLs weather) an expected "victory" crumbled to a mere success, and, instead of Lille, wo got only 'Neuve Chapelle.

It was," savs Mr. Buchan, our first attempt at the kind of tactics in which the French had shown us the way, and not unnaturally we fumbled a little. But the experience has not been wasted, and when the time cornea the thing will be done again, and done right. Into the various aspects of the Dardanelles problem, the author enters at considerable length, and the various considerations which may. have weighed with theAlliea in tackling it are clearly set forth.

Mr. Buahan is, of course, careful to avoid anything in the nature of criticism of policy while the full facta cannot still be disposed. In his account of the landing he had not the advantage of Sir Ian Hamilton's memorable diapatoh, but hia narrative leaves no doubt in the mdnd of the reader aa to the extraordinarily critical nature of tie operations, and the consummate spirit and valour which alone achieved success.

an obsession it ia apt to become monotonous and even ineffectual. But at least Mr. Sinclair ia not wordy. of May which led to intervention will always be full oi an interest reaching far-beyond the mere facts as set forth in the newspapers. And so to read again in chronological order D'Annunzio's war speeches and messages from the one of Quarto to the oration from the Capitol which decided the destinies of Italy is to live again some of the most wonderful momenta not only in the history of Italy, bnt in that of the world.

Indeed, as documents of pure historical and psychological interest they are no less important to the comprehension of Italy's war of liberation than the dispatches the "Green Book." It would be scarcely possible or seemly at the present time to judge this volume solely from the standpoint of pure literature. Like all D'Annunzio 'a work, of which they 'have the virtues and some of the defects, they possess great rhythmical beauty and force. Moreover, notwithstanding the frequent historical allusions, they are not rhetorical or study compositions. They are inspired by a sincere love of country, and are both forcible and convincing in the directness and simple nobility of the style, which is worthy of Cicero's best orations. Unlike, too, most oratory of this kind, they still hold and move one even when stripped of the glamour lent them by events and by the poet's strong personality.

4 Though it is difficult to think of another Italian who could have accomplished what D'Annunzio has, it would be incorrect to assume that the Italian people merely allowed themselves to be carried away by momentary and unreasoning enthusiasm without any precise consciousness of their acts. During tbe fortnight which elapsed between the 5tn and the 20th of May D'Annunzio was, indeed, ttteir tribune and national poet, a legislator as well as a trumpet singing to battle but beyond and above that tie was the voice and incarnation of the newly-awakened national spirit. As in his famous "Ode pour la Resurrection Latine," published in the "Figaro" last August, the poet and the man are transfigured and uplifted by the sacred mission Je suis une ofirando d'amour, Jo cull ua cri vera 1'iurars, ja suis ua clairon de reecousss aux levres lt la race NEW Tux Kensedi PZOW.B, By W.

The author, Mr. B.

A. Gould, is an American citizen, educated at Harvard and now in business in Canada, and, balanced thus between the two nationalities, he feels (all credit to him!) that "he must speak." His theme is the discredit attaching to a great nation which stands out from the world-fight for liberty. The United States, as the foremost exponent of democracy in the world, ought, he holds, to be ranged in the critical fight of democracy against autocracy the careful counsels of self-interest by which the States was supposed to be swayed (these chapters were written in December) axe an absolute denial of the soul of a nation." Mr. Gould looks ahead believes civilisation will not tolerate any other outcome of the war than the abolition of militarism; thinks the world fortunate in having so unselfish and clear-minded" a statesman aa Sir Edward Grey to steer It though the crisis congratulates England and France on the singular lack of bitterness in their attitude and hopes that Great Britain will be great enough not to take a shilling for what she has done, whatever indemnity must be paid in other quarters.

D'Annunzio 'a eloquence, stirred njs expressed their unuttcred thoughts, crystallised and awakened their consciousness to the gravity of the moment and of the crisis. Many of the names and memories evoked by him were little more than distant echoes of the past. But the blood of their ancestors which flowed in their veins answered the cry of Garibaldi All that you are, all that you have, and you yourselves, give it to the flaming Italy" echoed by the poet from the Scoglio di Quarto. But it was not a cold, impersonal idea that D'Annunzio called up before the eyes of the Italians at the feast of The Thousand before the Ligurian sea, in the presence of the Hero.

Like the Mille on the night of May S. 1870, they dedicated themselves to a "creature alive, breathing, whose countenance is inexpressibly beautiful, the beloved of love, the chosen of sorrow, the woman of all time and all kingdoms, Italy. From that moment each Italian, whether present or absent, became a crusader and a knight of Italy. The war speeches here collected reveal to their readers not only the process that determined the Italian people upon war, but the spirit in which it was undertaken and its inner meaning. They prove, furthermore, what too often has been forgotten namely, the immense power of inspiration and example that a great poet can exercise in the gravest momenta of a nation's history.

HI. of Mex. 1st Pf Ths Jacxit. By Jack London. (Mills and Boon.) 6s.

It seems a long time since Whit Fang and The Call of the Wild caught us with their headlong force and their knowledge of things few of us had seen, and most of us are savage enough to like to think we would enjoy. It even seems a good while since "The' Valley of the Moon called to us lustily with its vigorous quest and the hopefulness of its energy. But Mr. London grows rampant instead of merely energetic. His wordiness increases with every new novel, and hia literary style gets steadily worse.

Aloft, at giddy mast-heads oscillating above the decks of ships, I have gazed on sun-flashed water where coral-growths iridesced from profounds of turquoise deeps, and conned the ships into the safety of mirrored lagoons where the anchors rumbled down close to palm-fronded beaches of sea-pounded coral rock." If a writer and his public do not shy at such stuff as that there is little hope for them. This tumultuousness of words is equalled by the tearing energy with which current ideas and speculations are whipped into the tale. Darrell Standing, condemned to penal servitude for life, and, later, condemned to solitary for the rest of hia sentence, suffered the "torment of the jacket, was beaten, starved and tortured by the warden, the doctor and the guards of Cali-fornian prison. How much evidence Mr. London has for his description of this prison government he does not say.

It, seems beyond belief, and amid all tho horrors over-written, if not over-stated the. reader perpetually asks, Is it true?" 3nd is brought by over-emphasis to feel that it is not. Reality," if it is reality, is destroyed by the racket of Mr. London's prose. When Standing is able, by concentration of his will, to let his spirit free from the body and to wander through past ages in its older incarnations, a fascinating theory is given ils chance.

It was managed with "infinitely more charm and effect of truth by du Manner's Peter Ibbetson." Mr. London conducts his hero through many exciting parte "the best, perhaps. the American pioneer partr-but the bludgeoning of words and the pretentious attempt at vastness are tiring. Perhaps we ought to remember that Darrell Standing, after the torture he had undergone might be supposed to think in even wild and whirling terms, if he could live and think at all. jobbing gardener is probably a rarity, and eld victims will feel all the interest of experience in this frank exposition of the trade and its tricks.
