Dr. Bowman points out that the United States has never avoided entangling alliances.

He says: "By the end of the nineteenth century we were involved in the problems of Samoa, Tangier and Liberia. Our relations with Japan in the Far East are the result of a policy of respecting China. We have repeatedly Joined the great powers of Europe in making demands on the Chinese government. In the three and a half years after the World War, the United States ratified twenty-seven treaties, conventions and agreements with no less than twenty-four powers. Treaties inevitably follow business relations." QUEER FANCIES NEW I.ANT8.

Some years ago Barrett Wen dell pointed out that It wai the Yankee, not the englishman after Cromwell's time, who retained the spontaneity, the enthusiasm and the versatility which were the leading traits of the Elizabethans. Beyond a doubt the New England- born author of "Lot 'Er Buck," i third edition of which Is an nouncod by d. p.

A hundred years after Decatur sank the U.

S. Frig ate Philadelphia in Tripoli har bor, young Furlong located the wreck, diving himseir, and then In the town unearthed a account of the light hitherto tin known. He was the llrat Arnori can to cross the heart of Tierra del Fuego; he headed expeditions In Patagonia, through the wilder ness of Dutch Guiana, up the Ori noco and across the Llanos of Ven ezuela; with another party he crossed the Atlantic In a twenty- two-ton schooner and explored the West African Islands and the Mo roccan coast.

His friendships have ranged from the Jbcole des Beaux Arts to In aian lepees, rrom Arab tenta to European embassies. He has tried his hand at occupations sufficient for a dozen men and succeeded with them all. And throughout he has been spontaneous, enthusi astic, versatile, an Elizabethan with a modern mind. Col.

By Isaiah Uowman, Ph.D.

Director of the American Geographical Society of New York. World Book Company, Yonkers-on-JlucUon, New York. When Dr. Bowman's exceeding ly valuable book "The New World" appeared In 1921, It performed a distinct service in that it enabled the reader to get a somewhat In telligent view of a world Just emerging from a ferment that had obliterated national boundary lines and put the student of affairs "out on a limb" to borrow an expres sion from the great national In door game. This supplement is a ninety-eight-page pamphlet, designed to cover the developments In various fields since the publication of "The New World." This supplement will be included in the revised edition of the book when it appears, in the course of a few months.

The pamphlet has two divisions. First Is that taking up the situation of the United States, in which foreign relations are stressed. Next is that section devoted to the political map of Turkey. Dr. Bowman considers the United States under four heads: The internal situation; foreign relations in the Americas; American interests in the Philippines and the Pacific; foreign relations imposed by civilization.

The last section especially merits prayerful study by all those who really wa.pt the truth in regard to so-called foreign entangle ments. If they will approach with an open mina this eminently fair minaea ecnoiar's study of our sit uation, they will find much ble information clearly stated and mucn to ponder over.

Furlong Explorer, writer, artist, author Of "Let Er Buck." RECENT BOOKS STF.PfircV CBAVRt A STUI1T IN AMERICAN UiTXERS. By Tnomas Meer. With an Introduction by Joseph Conrad. Alfred A. Knopf, New Yora.

Mr. Beer has labored manfully to cut his way through the some what mlasmatlo growth of calum nies and traditions which have grown up about the name of Ste phen Crane. During his life. Crane was not forgotten by his enemies and In his grave, it would appear, that he la not to be allowed to rest In peace. Crane did not see life clearly and he did not see it whole.

But his was not the conventional mind, and if he refused to see things as others saw them, he was but putting himself in the way of having recriminations heaped on hia head. Many there were who read "Maggie," and nearly as many leaped to the conclusion that, al though Crane might be an artist, he at least was not one of the children of light. Mr. Beer says, with cause, "that the mistress of this boy's (Crane's) mind was fear." The tale of "Maggie" Is that of "the terror of an environment tinged by social Judgment." Crane himself felt the weighty hand of "social judgment," tinged with malice. In "The Red Badge of Courage," we have a man faced with incomprehensible death.

Always Crane Is con cerned with fear, but it Is pleas ant to record that when at last, alone, he faced the great fear, he was unafraid. But, then, Crane was never afraid. It may be re membered that Crane was cited in dispatches for heroism under fire during the Spanish-American tar. Though Mr. Beer writes a labored prose and Mr.

Conrad's Introduction has the air of taskwork, this "life," if it may be so called, of Stephen Crane, is Interesting reading. Crane was not a mighty figure In American letters, though he did let a good deaj of daylight Into the dark recesses of American life, and his plots and phrase turns have been stolen willy-nilly by lesser men than he, but he Is an Intriguing figure, a sort of child of misfortune who was only fortunate in clear sight. We have referred to the stealing of certain of Crane's turns of phrase and to his clearness of 6lght. Was there ever defter lit-: (Continued on Page 85, Column 3) yes. But only a primitive shollao which seems to bring out even more clearly those splendid, fundamental, Inherent qualities which one has often to scratch much deeper to find beneath the veneer of a more effete order.

The light filters Its golden way through the half-waftlng fog of tobacco smoke onto the great baize tables sprinkled with their Ivories like drops of a rainbow on a lawn of green; upon forward tlltod sombreros with a cockeyed slant shading keen eyes, doep set In shadowed sockets; upon the sheen of colored shirt as the strong figures reach In their play with the cue, their faces chiselod by a life arid work in which they ask of nature no compromise. All Is a great delicious, Impressionistic splash of color on a. canvas soon to be grayed with that dull mediocrity we call civilization." But take, for contrast, this description of the author's sensa tions on the hurricane deck of Sharkey the bull: "1 felt like an anlmated-buck-walklng beam-buck of a ferry boat with the engine gone crazy. Buck, buck, buck! But my fingers held buck, buck. He Is only Jumping now, but nearly ran down a herdor who sprang aside.

I looked down and saw way, way far down Deiow me my saddle. That's the last I remember until I dug my way out of the dirt only a wrist broken." It is all there the dust and struggle, the furious fun; relay races, maverick races, stage-coach races, bulldogglng, broncho-busting; Indian ceremonial dances, the cowboy and Indian Grand Mounted March, the whole thrilling pageant of the vanishing frontier. In his own words, the author's aim was to portray "the big, free spirit and significance of ran en Ufa through type similes, simple lncl- aent ana outstanding feature nH thus record a verse or two of the swan song of the cowboy before nis range cry dies away." He has achieved this aim with a breezy originality worthy of the theme. Por once in a blue moon have a dook wnich deserves the threadbare adjective red-blooded.

Measured by the standard epitomized by Whitman in the sentence, "That la right which tastes sweet to the most perfect person," it must, however, be said that this author's pronunciamentos often differ widely from those of the Teacher of Galilee, whose directions for the conduct of life, while often publicly and privately disobeyed, still stand as the norm of Christendom. TUB PKOBLEM OF CHINA.

By Br-trand Russell. The Century Company, Now i'ork. This Is at once as brilliant and as biased a study of the Chinese nation and its relations with the western world as might have been expected from the pen of Bertrand Russell. Two considerations ought to be constantly borne in mind while reading its slgr.ilicant pages. The first is that Mr.

Russell natural reaction from the Jingoistic point of i view common to a majority of Westerners, which finds nothing of worth in any alien form of civilization, renders this author decidedly too partial to the1 social system which he has set out to champion. The second is, that he otters for our consideration the ideas and ideals of the best of China's scholars and thinkers, while he Judges of British and American desire to despoil the orientals by what he knows, or thinks he knows, of the mental attitude common to the financial and commercial magnates of both nations. Of the relations between China and the United States Mr. Russell discourses as a writer of historical fiction rather than as a responsible authority upon International affairs. With nothing more nearly resembling proof than a casual "I have been told," he ascribes the basest motives for such attempts at fair dealing and equity as our government has made In Its dealings with our oriental neighbors.

That in even a sincle instance we should have been moved to international action by upright motives is, to this author, unthinkable. The object of the book as officially set forth, "is to emphasize the importance of China's past and future contribution to the civilization of the world." Thus China has earned and ought to be cordially the right to pursue her own wav, free from any attempts at Interference. These are eminently correct sentiments, and In line with them, it might be suggested that this author keep himself out of -China, where ne remained lor some wmo, unofficial, but none the onereetlc.

P. Crcsson (Houghton-Mifflin Company.) In a series of brilliant diplomatic portraits this author not only sketches the part played by Monroe, Adams, Jefferson and Itush In the complicated diplomacy of their time, but also traces their connection with the long series of "International Conferences" which offer so curious a parallel to the "World Gatherings" of the present day. Dr.

He reveals such matters as E. riilllips Op-penhelm's source of material for his novels of International intrigue, and Jeffery Farnol's experiences in finding a publisher for "The Broad Highway," It is a book of, information and tempered criticism which helps the reader to sort and estimate the modern writers and to organize his own opinions.

BY F. THK DANCB OF By Havelock Ellis. Houghton, Mifflin Company, Boston. The conception of all life and motion as an ordered dance is of course not original with Havelock Ellis, since many ancient and modern poets have so described the rhythmic movement of all that exists. Emerson often refers to this vital truth with the certainty of the seer, but it remained for the present author to clearly and convincingly tell us of all Its implications.

The erratic, disordered and slovenly productions of a noisy. If not numerous, class of "expressionists," ceem quite unknown to this Olympian thinker, since he Insists upon identifying the present age as a classico-mathematical Renaissance, akin to that of the seventeenth century, in which Mal-herbe paved the way for Descartes, and the two introduced a new order into the world. Because this is In reality a classico-mathemat ical age it Is especially necessary to recognize life as a dance. "The dance," he tells us, "is the rule of number and rhythm, of measure and order, of the controlling Influence of form and of the subordination of parts to the whole. That is what a dance is.

And these same properties make up the classic spirit, not only in life, but still more clearly and definitely In the universe itself. For the universe lb made up of a certain number of elements and the 'periodic law' of these elements Is metrical. Thus our world Is, even fundamentally, a dance, a single metrical stanza in a great poem." It has been found necessary to make this lengthy excerpt in order to give an adequate idea of the quality and scope of the author's far-reaching argument. He goes on to note the fact that as was preceded by Mal-herbe, so Einstein was preceded by the Russian ballet. Finally he calls attention to the fact that we are in the presence of a process which has been a subtle movement In many fields for more than half a century.

And he believes that this movement originated among ordinary people. and gradually worked Its way everywhere. "For a real and living art," we are told, "has nothing to do with the eccentricities of a email religious sect worshiping in a Little Bethel. A true art Is the large movement of the common life of the community; Indeed, It Is simply the out-war and visible form of that life." In this connection he enlarges on the beneficial effect upon any community of the practice of community dancing, not only as a safe outlet for repressed emotion, but a series of lessons In measure and form, and the necessity of harmonious collective action for any kind of orderly accomplish- ment. The author goes on to scribe the ancient religious dancing, expressive of devotion and sdnrMion; of classical dancing, revealing "the rhythmic beauty and expressiveness possible to the stm- pie human personality." and ro- mantle dancing, witn ns con- WILLIAM LEON DAWSON IS OUT A magnificently illustrated work, in four volumes, at prices to suit every pocket.
