TV lira the Prussians Came to Poland, by
ura d. Turcynowlcz. Illustrated. $1.-0.
O. P. Putnam's Sons. Now York City.
'Here we have the lurid, exciting
story of an American-born woman, the
wife of a Polish noble, who was caught
in her home, she and her three little
children, by the floodtide of the Ger
man invasion or the ancient kingdom
of Poland early in August, 1914.
J lit? uuuh win ui: at.cHcu x i
luting one of the remarkable expert
' ences of the present war. Of course,
our author writes bitterly of the Ger
mans. Any woman who passed through
her harrowing experiences would write
naturally in a similar strain. She was
in the direct line of the German ad
vance, for Hindenburg himself for sev
eral days made his military headquar
ters under her roof.
"I have written our story," says our
author, "because so many people have
asked me to. Also, in the hope of
helping Poland. She is worthy of help
martyred, devastated, trodden under
the Russian boat as she is. The wife
of a .gallant Pole, now serving humanity-
as insoector-in-chlef of the
sanitary engineers, and the mother of
two sons, to say nothing of a. dear little
(laughter, I have the cause of Poland
at heart. Much pressure has been
brought upon ine, that I should advo
cate the sending of food into Poland.
I cannot, in the light of my own ex
periences, do so. Under the existing
circumstances, I know It would not be
'Ae Poles who would eat the bread sent
ithem."
Our author, a New York girl, left the
United States like so many other Amer
ican girls, to stud- and sing in Europe,
but. after three years of work and
play, she married a Polish nobleman,
and, she adds, "I have never regretted
it. Until the war separated us, not
Wily by miles but armies. I was happy
as few women are." Her husband was
professor in the University of Cracow.
Suwalki, on the borderline between
Russia and Germany, was our author's
home. She describes the surprise and
shock of war, and dilates on the sav
age ruin wrecked on Polish homes by
the advancing German troops. She
gives Instances where her own home
was repeatedly befouled, she affirms,
by German troops, and insists that
young girls she knew were taken open
ly for prey by these troops.
On .pages 119-120. a visit from a
military chief, described as "the Great
Man," is depicted, and our author says,
while he treated her courteously, he
"drank copiously (in fact, I have never
sern such a capacity for schnapps), ate
tremendously, and the only topic of
conversation was what '.ie had done or
was about to do."
Our author says she wore continually
a Russian Red Cross uniform to protect
her from the German soldiers, "who
made a practice of insulting every
woman" (p. 160). She gives Instances
Where the Germans took food from the
Poles. Her children became sick, and
her little boy was ill with typhus fever.
Madame de Turczynowicz" pleaded
with the German authorities to be al
lowed to go, with her children, to
America. She negotiated with a surgeon-in-chief
of the Russian hospital
for a passport, and he "called us
Americans) all sort of names, includ
ing the whole Anglo-Saxon race. ' He
said that America was holding a knife
to Germany's throat."
Al last' our author and her children
were permitted to depart to Berlin,
where, she says. German women spat
at them (p. 263). It is comforting to
know that Madame de Turczynowicz
and family reached Rotterdam. n it

The shinlnc Adventure, by Dana Burnet.
1.W. Harper & Brothers, New York
C Ity.
Occasionally on a reviewer's desk
there looms up one book among all
the others one book that has that
mark of inherent genius of the gold
stamp order of excellence. Such a lit
erary treat is this novel "The Shining
Adventure." It reaches such starry
hHerhts that one is reminded bf an
other splendid boy-story. "Little Lord
Fauntleroy."
The hero of the novel Is a little boy.
ed 8 years,' who is named the King.
He is a charity boy. His father, who
had been a Socialist, was shot and
killed by a militiaman .of nervous
temperament during a street riot In
New Jersey. Ills mother died when the
King was a baby. Miss Philomena Van
y.andt is a woman of 30 years, with
wealth enough to make her ancient
Knickerbocker name almost unneces
sary. Miss philomena had a passion
for the social uplift of the poor, and
thought she could cause a social refor
mation by distributing pocket Bibles
to the said poor, evidently those of
New York City. Dr. Peter MacLean,
a grim-faced surgeon of National repu
tation, had been wildly In love with
Miss Philomena for the past 10 years,
but she had only treated his overtures
with well-bred civility.
On one of b slumming tours. Miss
Philomena saw the King In a eharltv
parlor, and took htm home with her
on a visit. He remained with her five
years.
Mi; s Philomena was president of the
T'nltt l Charities, and a conference of
ifficffrs of that society was about to
'- ""t at her house. One of the shining
jgs'M. of this conference was Bishop
PTr'rAJt, a bit of a humbug, but he be
'lieved he had a mission to take the
over-crowded masses of people from
swarming cities and place them on land
in the country. The Bishop saw In
himself a modern Moses. Miss Phllo
phena placed her spacious home for a
day or two at the disposal of her con
freres, and ordered Thelma, a nurse,
to take the King away to the Holland
House for the Interval.
Now Thelma had a beau named
'Entry, a taxlcab man. and she was plan
ning to elope with him. The King
didn't want to go with Thelma. He
ran away, to see how other little boys
lived. He was particularly anxious to
pet into and walk about a park that
was surrounded by railings, so that he
could help children of the near-neighborhood
to play on the grass. The
King bribed a policeman and an an
cient caretaker with smiles and pennies
and got into his park.
The King went to the country of the
"Other Children" and found himself
for the first time of his life In the
slums. He reached O'Connor's Alley,
whera a boy named Mickey IHynn.
leader of the gang, lived.
How the King fights with and heats
Mickey for the leadership of the alley,
escorts all the alley children to his
park and meets a bad woman: how the
"King converts the bad woman, through
love, and is run over by Miss Phllo
mena's electric brougham and nearl3"
killed-behold. Is it not all written?
The King Is indeed a little boy to
love.

of Jesus suggested Itself, and Professor
Husband soon became convinced that
the' approach to the study of the trial
of Jesus should be made through the
Roman, and not, as commonly done,
through the Hebrew criminal law. So
he took the opposite view from that
which represents Jesus as being tried
formally by the Sanhedrin for an al
leged offense against the Hebrew
criminal code.
Many special studies became neces
sary, and out of it all has been evolved
a scholarly, argumentative but well
balanced book that will live. One of
the most notable presentations of the
entire series is that which fixes the
date of Jesus' trial and crucifixion as
Friday. N'isan 14. A. D. 33. It Is stated
that "the accounts of the trial are so
incomplete that it cannot be demon
strated whether the evidence would be
considered adequate by an unbiased
Roman lawyer, not under stress of sur
rounding excitement and mob impulse."
The chapter heads are: The Prob
lem; Legal Rights of the Jews Under
Roman Supremacy; The Date of the
Trial: Jesus Arrested by the Jewish
Authorities; The Proceedings before
the Sanhedrin; Criminal Trials in the
Roman Provinces; The Gospel Text De
scribing the Hearing Before the San
hedrin; The Criminal Charge Against
Jesus; The Trial In the Roman Court;
Conclusions. The pages are 295.
The book will be found worth care
ful examination by lawyers and clergy
men as well as ordinary, thoughtful
readers.

The Belief In God

and Immortality, by

Our author is professor of psychol

liant study along psychological, an
thropological and statistical lines, that
God, the soul and Immortality consti
tute the great framework of religion.
These chief points are mads intelli
gently: (1.) To our knowledge of
the origin of the concept of survival
after death, and of the potent use made
of these ideas for the enhancement of
life.
(2.) To our knowledge of the preva

in a God who is able and willing
respond to man's desires, and in per-

possession of statistics of belief valid
for entire classes of influential per

biological scientists, historians, sociol

how knowledge of certain types and
how eminence in the classes considered
influence belief in these two concep
tions. The figures secured acquire im

out these beliefs probably not one of
the existing religions can endure.

Written in letters of fire, depicting
the anguish of an aroused conscience,
and purporting to be the soliloquy, in
blank verse, of a German in this coun
try. The German ventilates the dis
trust with which some people regard
the militarism of Prussia, and the dis
tress caused by the present war.
The book is able, undeniably, but is it
genuine? It may be real, and on the
other hand a clever invention of the
opponents of Russia. What then?

America's Relations to the Great War. by

Professor Burgess thinks that the big

doubtful. Our author treats the ques
tion at issue as a neutral. He writes
independently but academically. One
of the conditions of peace, he thinks,
will be the independence of Ireland.
He calls for an idealistic government
for our country.

AN unusually fine and Interesting ex

ment at the Central Library. The exhibit
has been prepared and. sent out by the
L'nlted stats Forest Service as a loan to

charts. e.ich chart representing some new
phase of the lumber industry and giving in
simple gsaphlc form ;s wealth of material,
interesting and useful to evegssane, and espe
cially to residents of timbered states. It
Is Impossible to adequately describe the
comprehensive scope and striking clearness
of the charts they should be sen and

NEW YORK. Dor. 23. This Nation
must eventually tdopt a system of uni
versal military training. Major Hsl
steatl Dnfy, aid to Major-General
Leonard Wood, commander of the De
partment of the Kast. the other day
told tile colony presidents of the Na
tional Society of New England Women,
at a luncheon In the Majestic Hotel.
Major Dorey. who was in charge of the
military training camps at riattsburd
and Plum Island, called thein "make
shifts." but added that they served to
indicate that thousands of younp: men
in this country believe that It is worth
fifrrhtinsr for.
The most distinctive note of the
camps, he said, was the spirit of de
mocracy which was shown there.
"There were no distinctions between
rich or poor," he explained. "Jew. Gen
tile. Catholic or Protestant, all did their
part in thu most democratic and con
genial way."
Rear-Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, lT. S.
N.. retired, said that women should
have as great interest in the question
of National preparedness as men.
Other speakers were Dr. Henry Clark
Coe and John Francis Yawger.
CITY HAS WIRELESS PHONE
Chicago Commissioner tiets One for
Vse at Cribs.
CHICAGO. Dec. 25. What will be the
first wireless telephone system, it is
believed. In the Middle West, will be
installed between the city hall and all
Chicago cribs, according to announce
ment today of William G. Keith. Com
missioner of Gas and Electricity. Mr.
fc. ith's determination to put In this
system was reached when he began to
figure on the cost of repairing the
break in the telephone cable, to the
four-mile crib, which parted some days
ago.
As the cable runs through a tunnel
and the tunnel would have to be drained
at a cost of thousands of dollars and
a long delay before' repairs could be
made the commissioner hit upon the
idea of a wireless telephone.
Work is expected to begin on the In
stallation In the near future, and it
will not be long. then. It is said, before
Commissioner Keith may sit at ease at
his desk in the city hall and talk, via
wireless, with any of the cribs. It is
believed that in the long run a consid
erable saving will have been effected
by the, change.
