In ordinary umes some men usually a small proportion of the population are bellicose: they predict war, and obviously are not unhappy in the prospect, bo long as war is not imminent the bulk of the population pay little attention to these men, and do not actively either sup port or oppose them. But when war begins to seem very near a war-fever seizes hold of peopie, and those wno were already bellicose find them selves enthusiastically supported by all but an insignificant minority, tne impulses which inspire war-fever are rather different from those wnicn make some men bellicose in ordinary times. The problem which must be solved, if the future of the world is to be Ie3s terrible than its present, is the problem of preventing nations from getting into the moods( of England and Germany at the ou'tbreak of the war.

These two nations as they were at that moment might be taken as almost mythical representatives of pride and envy cold pride and hot envy. I think if either the English or the Germans were capable of thinking In terms of individual welfare rather than national pride, they would have seen that, at every moment during tne war the wisest course would have heen to conclude peace at once, on the hest terms that could have been obtained. This course. 1 am convinced, would have been the wisest for each separate nation, as well as for civilization in general. The utmost, evil that the enemy could inflict through an unfavorable peace would be a trifle compared fo the evil whicli all the Dations inflict upon themselves by continuing to fight." How to como to terms with Japan is the great diplomatic problem' of generation, as great, if not greater, than the issue with Germany, says Gardner L.

Harding, author of "Present-Day China." What terms can we offer? Mr. Harding has just given his answer to thirs question in a series of lectures delivered before the student bodies of more than twenty New England colleges. The gist of Mr. Harding's solution, which he has set forth at grea.ter length in "Present-Day China." the only interpretation of Far Eastern problems in recent, years by an American radical, is that there is only one enduring way hy which the present deadly drift toward misunderstanding In the Pacific can be arrested and prevented in time. That, is hy adequately protecting China from the vast and sinister economic competition which may one day end in making her another battle-ground of world rival ry.

greater and more dreadful than that of the Balkan States and the Turkish lEmpirc. It is by the encouragement of the Chinese toward the rehabilitation of their own country that this sinister drift stayed.

Dr. Miller goes on to say that he believes that "Georse Lansing Raymond, the author of the only complete system of art interpretation that has as yet been in any country complete because of its analytic and synthetic unity, treating its theme equally in its historical ntvi theoretical aspects, and applying identical principles to both subject-matter and form as us-fd in every one of the higher art.s is a. critic who conforms to thia standard in each of these regards, anil with an unusual degree of excellence in all of them."

The remedy Is spraying with a tobacco solution when the damage first is noticed.

It is said that a. FTttsfleld LMassJ man mowed his lawn during a snowstorm few days agx Fortunately it has been some vears since there has been what, in common parlance, is known in Eastern Kentucky as a mountain feud in that section. It is to he hoped that they have been relegated to the past, ind will only be known to the future generations of this State through such books as "Kentucky's Famous Feuds and Tragedies." The last named book has been written by Charles G. Mutzenburg, of Harlan, Kv. The writer deals with the Hatfleld-McCoy, Tolllver-Martin, French Ev-crsole feuds.

He also relates in one chapter the Breathitt feuds, which were those of the Annis-Strong, Wilson-Callahan. Jett-Little, Hargis-Cockrell feuds. Nearly all of the principal actors of those feuds are dead, but a few are still living. He refers to the killing of Solomon Bradlev In the Tolllver-Martin feud. He does not state, however, what one of Bradley's friends, who is not a member of the faction that Dmiav ot tli a reviewer, ramely, that "the killing of Bradley was actually an accident.

The author narrates the legal battle between, the representatives the States of Kentucky and West Virginia before Judge Barr as to tne custody of the Hatflelds Shentf Philips. of Pike county, kentuck. became weary of the long paper controversy between the Governors ot Kentucky and West Virginia about requisitions, nnd he organized a bana of men and Invaded the State of West Virginia, and kidnaped some of the Hatflelds and brought thern to k'entuokv. The officials of TVest Virginia attempted to have them released by writ of habeas corpus, which was refused. This book of Mutzenburg roads more like a story of some novelist with some little foundation, but unfortunately the incidents he relates rre true.

If one will read the novels of Fox and Burke dealing with the people of Eastern Kentucky nnd then read this work he will learn that the novelist did not overdraw to any extent. Mutzenburg. in his preface, justly complains thai some of his articles these feuds have been used by ofher writers who failed to give him credit for his work. It is to be hoped fhat. the author will receive the praise to which he is, entitled for his task in collecting the data for this book.

Dutton Co. It will be called "The Comjng Democracy." and it will make a study of the causes of the -war from the standpoint of a German whose convictions render it impossible for him to live in Germany. a.nd from this will advance to the conclusion that democracy the one form of government most likely to avoid and prevent war. He shows how sure war is to result from the monarchical form of government, and in the course of a careful examination of the Constitution of the German empire he ma.kes it evident that the present war had its origin in the character of Prussi.Vn monarchy. The work will he of great interest at the present time because froln the pen of a German it establishes the contention of Germany's foos that the object of the war is to destroy the military domination of Prussia and that the welfare of the world demands that that object must ne attained.

He declared that this is not. a rich man's war but that it Is a war of the people, a fight for democracy and Chrlstianitv, and that lie wanted no slackers in his con gregation. Father curran urged that tho voi.nn- men of the church, who are of militarv age and able to fight, enlist in the service, cither in the Xew Albany cavalry troop or some other branch of the army or navy. Others were urged to subscribe for Liberty Loan bonds to the extent of their means.

Ernest Thompson-Seton's new novel, is a vigorous, manly story of a man's long fight for supremacy over a willful and passionate nature, yet a nature also rich in almost every noble quality. "It seemed lhat Nature had given him all the gifts there were fr.r man, for he had youth, health, happy moods, magnetic power In face and voice, courage.

and the gift of speech. And yet. with all these unmeasured hies ings. was conjoined a bane. To be possessed of the wild, erratic, spirit of the roving, singing Celt, to he driven to all ill-judged extremities, to be lashed by passion, anger and remorse, to be the battleground of this wild spirit and its strong rival, the calm and steadfast spirit of the North this was a spiritual destiny not to be discerned in a first meeting." Young Jim Hartigan goes as a kind of probationary preacher to Dakota in the '70s.

and there finds ample opportunity for the development and exercise of fho contradictory elements of his temperament. That he conquers in the end is largely due to the ceaseless sympathy, encouragement, vigilance and common sense of the woman who becomes his wife. Interwoven with the story of his life are many stirring scenes of frontier conditions at that time, and, as those who are familiar with the author will naturally expect, some delightful descriptions of the Western wilds. Of course Mr. Seion must have at least one conspicuous four-footed ohar.aoter and in this case "Blazing Star," the preacher's honse, plays a striking role in the events of the novel.

A number of chapters are devoted to the famous races at Fort Ryan, in which the White Man's confidence in his own sa.gaeity receives several severe jolts from his simple-minded Red Brother. The book is written largely in a delioiously humorous vein, which does not prevent its being a thoroughly, serious and sincerely human storv. THE PREACHER OF CEDAR MOUNTAIN. By Ernest Thompson-Selon. Published by Doubleday.

Page New York. ANCHORAGE. Nathaniel Hawthorne tells a story of man who sought through all the world for Ihree great things, failing everywhere until he returned to his own little village, where he found them waiting for him. The hero of Florence Olrnste.ad's -novel. "Anchorage." has the same experience.

He is a poet, a dreamer, and an invalid, and when lively Hilda Fordham comes into his life he Is carried away by her charm and, oblivious of the lifetime devotion of his fnend Harriet, he woos and wins the girl, only to find that he has been misled by an erratic fancy. Great unhappiness comes to both until Hilda runs away from him, and a.fter years of penance and suffering he discovers. in Harriet the treasure which has lain ready to his hand all the time. The story is strongly and quietly told. with all that charm which Miss Olmsfead so easily commands.

It is totally different from "Father Ber nard's Parish." but not in any degree inferior to the previous book, and will be found an uplifting and beau tiful story. ANCHORAGE. By Florence Olmsfead. Published by Cha.r!es Serib-ner's Sons. New York.

HURRAH AND HALLELUJAH Dr. J. P. Bang, professor of theology at the University of Copenhagen, has issued a unique -olume In which he has collected a large number of quotations from poets, prophets, professors and preachers of modern Germany relating to the present war. Dr.

Bang is careful to slate that his materia! has boon se lected from representative sources and not from irresponsible or un-Irustworthy publications, and, in several case.s, after quoting certain expressions, he adds comment or commendation from another quarter, thus apparently substantiating his claim that the almost universal spirit of the Germany of to-day is epitomized in his book. "The new German spirit," says the author, "has found one of Its most classical expressions in a collection of poems hv a German pastor. Dietrich Vorwork. under the significant title 'Hurrah and Halle find in this combination something so absolutely characteristic of the German spirit that 1 have adopted it as the title of this book." The text adopted by Pa.stor Vorwerk and most of the other writers quoted seems to be the verse of Emanuel Geihel, who. after proclaiming that the whole world outside Germany is feeble and ailing, suggests, as the only remedy, that this sick world shall he wholly Germanized: "The world may yet again be healed by Germanlsm." This verse, in various forms and with sundry additions and ornamentations, crops up in every conceivable place and every possible nnd impossible- connection.

If it were not appalling it would be ludicrous to see the. perfect seriousness with which otherwise sane and well-balanced men accept this dictum as if it were, a Divine decree. In fact, one reverend g-entleman amends it after this fashion: "A corrupt world, fettered in monstrous sin, shall, bv the will of God. he healed by I he German nature." That any other nation can, hy the wildest stretch of imagination, have n.ny claim upon Divine protection seems incomprehensible ro the writers and speakers quoted by Dr. Bang.

Pastor Lch-mann, for instance, has published a series of sermons under the title "About the German God." in which, according to Dr. Rang, he says: "We have God on our side.

The census for the conscription registration has been completed, and this shows there are 875 prisoners out of the 1.3(io who are between the ages of 21 nnd 31 and subject to draft.

Bids for th.a sale of worth of A QUIET HOUSE Henry Dwight Sedgwick's "An Apology for Old Maids" has a preface by Owen Wlster in which the development of the American novel and of the American essay are contrasted, with the palm awarded unhesitatingly to Irving, Emerson and who great family, has built for his readers "a quiet house of revery." The essay which gives the volume its title is a glowing web of fancy. Mr. Sedgwick has Indeed been fortunate in the celibates of his acquaintance; yet his pralso is not undeserved. It teems a little late in the day to apologize for old maids, but the writer has done his task gracefully and with charm.

A Ciceronian essay. "De Senectute." is best summed un in two telling sen tences of the author's "Tenth is a drama." he writes, "in which the actors are ail absorbed in their parts, age Is the audience." And again. "Age is a reaction from the restive Individualism of youth. Through the other papers runs a vein of serious thought ahout life coupled characteristics, and differing from stout Cortez mainly in not being silent." But it is when wrltingg of religion that Mr. Sedgwick is at his best.

Life presents itself to him as a. mystic harmony, not a by-product of science. "God grew with the growth of our race and because humanity has made Him, we love Him." AN APOIXX5T FOR OLD MAIDS AND OTHER ESSAYS. By Henry Dwight Sedgwick. Published by the Macmillan Company.

New York. THE WAT TO STUDY BIRDS. The book stores axe full to overflowing with books to help the beginner in the study of birds and flowers. There are so many of them that the amateur Is fairly bewildered and hardly knows what to do in the miter of selection. One of the latest books to be put on the market, "The Way to Study Birds." by John D.

Kuser. gives in a rather concise and scholastic manner the plan by which the author has been successful In learning to identify the commoner birds. In fact. It is so cut and dried that it Is difficult for the reader to get any pleasure or enthusiasm out of it. To be sure there are a few beautiful frustrations in color, but if the book with its very condensed descriptions of birds Is to be used by the novice, it should have had a picture in color of every bird.
