Mysterious lights and strange comings and goings alonr the Solway shore, ships sunk and submarines in hiding give Andrew a task, to serve his country. He knows the coast like his hand and no storm is wild enough to keep him from navigating the treacherous Inlets and Islands in search of the spies operating there.

The tale is told in Bindloss' usual pleasing style. Aided by Whitney's keen American mind Andrew tracks the enemy with unexpected and remarkable consequences.

Ur. Wells Is the logical conclusion of those 'who have been loking to the European conflict to produce a real novel of the war or of the war's current effects and results. A close observer of the movements society; Imaginative and speculative, the theme haj given him rnllmlted resources. In his new novel, it Is quite agreed among readers, he has scored a bulls-eye. "Mr.

Brltllng Sees It Through," however, is not really a war novel, as that term is commonly and I arrowly used, but It Is a war novel in the big, broad sense. "Mr. Brltllng Sees It Through" does not describe conditions at the front. does not present the horrors of blood shed and carnage, does not tell of the suffering of soldiers or of life in the trenches, but, rather, seeks to show the real significance of the war, to make clear through a story of drama tic Interest tbe changes wrought by the war throughout civilization. To sum It up, the story explains what the war means spiritually.

If such a phrase may be used In this connection, to those who are in the midst of it. The scene Is laid in Matching Easy, an Essex county village, which is meant to typify the old Kngland. Into Its calm, unruffled surface comes the news of the outbreak of hostilities. Mr. Brltllng watches its effect; he follows closely the later developments; he sees the old give way to the new.

He is living during a great transition; he is part of it and he Is clever enough to discern that fact. The new Matching Easy, differing socially and economically from the old, typifies again the new England, the new Europe, All of this philosophy, this world observation, this sure thinking about big and vital matters of the day, are revealed In a story concerned with the real affairs of real people young men and young women and the romance of their lives and kind humorous wholesome older folk with their amusing and often significant philosophy. It Would Be Fun to Know What Dickens Thought of Wallula Because of a sandstorm, and ifr probably for no other reason, Charles Dickens. English novel- iit 1st, was greeted by a fairly -at good sized audience when he lectured at Wallula. in 1875.

The incident is recalled by Captain Charles E. Price. It seems tlrat there was no He particular interest in the lec- ture in Wallula, but a number 1 of travelers on their way to Walla Walla couldn't get to their destination- because tho little engine on the old Baker road couldn't buck the sand- drifts off the eight-pound rails as fast as the wind blew them on. To pass the enforced time at Wallula they went to hear Dick- ens, who appeared in the din- ing room of the old Weston hotel, which had been a store of the Hudson Bay company. Next day on the steamer "New Tenlno" Dickens was id passenger, and Mr.

Price re- Ht members that the novelist said He He some remarkable descriptive in He things about the climate and He prospects of Wallula remarks He not printable perhaps, but Hi He nevertheless expressive. Plenty, to Be Sure. The New York Times published the other day an account of an interview with His Excellency John Bonzano, titular archbishop of Mitilene and opostollc delegate to the United States. Tho interviewer finally asked the arostollc delegate to tell sometlng of his opinion of modern American literature as he had observed it during his iUay of four years in this country. The learned father looUed carefully down Madison avenue for a moment and tlien gave his verdict: "Of tnodern American literature, I would say that 1 am convinced that it is plentiful." It might well be added that one trouble with our present-day writing is that very few of those busied there-it: can express themselves with the clearness, restraint and force of that sentence!

Truth, Justice and Gallantry. A San Francisco Judge held that it is extreme cruelty for a man to try to write novel when he could be working as a lather for $6 a day, and he granted a divorce to Katherine Hem-eon from Frank R.

Not an Oregon field, to be sure, but a Kentish, English field, where Eden Phillpotts lays tho action of an Interesting, entertaining novel of still more interesting and entertaining characters. The war enters into it a bit, too. The story has to do in the main with two brothers, one of them born out of wedlock, a man among men, the other, showy, but not worth very much. Both fell in love with the same girl, whose father is partlculorly narrow-minded, and so the story develops. JACK LONDON It would be a splendid thing If, as a Run Francisco Spiritualist suggests.

Jack london comes back and tells of what he sees on the other side. But mnybe he won't come back if he can. If. may be a land of enchantment too it underfill to leave, a paradise even for him whose Ideals of the hereafter were at least not orthodox. It has been said that Iondon believed In no hereafter.

Rather, it was to him not an altogether uncharted land. The fundamental Idea of one of his latest novels, "The Star Kover." is the supremacy of mind over matter. He tells of what came of an attempt on the part of his hero to free himself from things mundane, of the wonderful adventures of this "star rover," of the strange people and the stranger lands he saw. Who can tell now of Jack London's own peregrinations along the Milky Way? London was born in San Fran'clsco in 1876. When he was 11 years old he lift the ranch in the Livermore valley where he had spent his early boyhood.

In Oakland the public library gave him his first glimpse of the world of alventure and romance. This world appealed to him. He left home he said himself that he did not run away and Joined the oyster pirates. Tiring of piracy, he lolned the fish patrol, and was looked to for the arrest of those who had been his former companions. "Tales of the I'tsh Patrol" are narratives of his experiences along; the California coast.

Wherever he -went he worked, and at hard labor, as a longshoreman and a shovelcr; from early until late each In a Jute mill. And always he was storing away story material for future use. London found It hard to break Into the literary game. A prine offered by the San Francisco Call for the best descriptive article opened the way to first success. At the suggestion of his mother he entered the contest.

offering an account of a typhoon off the coast of Japan, and he won the prise away from college students and professional writers. Then he walked from California to Maine. Later In his efforts to secure a university education he worked as a Janitor and in a laundry. All this time he was writing, too, and his stories were being returned. Came then the call of the north the Klondike and after a year there, when scurvy drove him home, "The Call of the Wild." His fame followed.

The summer of 1902 Jack London l'ved In the slums of Ixndon, Kng land, gathering material for "The Peo ple of the Abyss. There was the cruise of the Snark; adventures In Hawaii: home life and sudden death at CJlen Ellen itx "The Valley of the Moon."

Just Issued. In the pleasant story-hour room of Gill's bookstore the possibility of developing book-selling into an art is being experimented upon the moving idea being that the public will read the best in literature if the best is presented to them.

To declare that the maligned public's taste and intellect Is in the right place and that It will Joyfully accept "good" literature and art and music if given access to them is a laudable statement and one which is always likely to elicit approval; but commercial ventures based upon this optimistic faith have not invariably proved profitable. A bookseller may Tilgh-mlndedly resolve to sell only books that are well and sincerely written, but when his customers come seeking Alger or Henty or Elinor Glyn, and not knowing Kipling or the "Arabian Nights" or Riley's poems, refuse to recognize them as substitutes then hlghmind-edness becomes somewhat too costly.

John T.

Hotehkiss, perceived that this store of solid reputation could count the future as well as the present its own, and that so it would be worth while now to put good books before the reading children, who In 20 years will be the buying parents of Portland. Accordingly, with the cooperation of Miss Jessie Millard, who has charge of the children's department of the city library, and the Pure Literature committee of the Portland Parent-Teacher council, the present story-hour room was last year furnished with all the best in children's books that the store could command.
