THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 31, 1916. 11 i :Ii f 1 1 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 f ilU! illy, America. 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. The Prosecution of Jesus, by Richard Well ington Husband. SI. SO. Princeton Uni versity Press, Princeton, N. J.

M SQjfe- OOP 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. Mazama, Derrmher, IBIS. Illustrated. 50 cents.

The Belief In God James H. Lucba. ft Co., Boston. and Immortality, by $2. ' Sherman. French Our author is professor of psychol ogy and pedagogy in Bryn Mawr Col lege, Pa. His book is a learned, bril 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 lence in the United States of the beliefs in a God who is able and willing respond to man's desires, and in per- you ducais or -Jean Mcintosh sonal Immortality. We aro now in possession of statistics of belief valid for entire classes of influential per sons college students, physical and biological scientists, historians, sociol ogists and psychologists. We know how knowledge of certain types and how eminence in the classes considered influence belief in these two concep tions.

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? Til Teaching; of Arithmetic. by Paul Klapper 41.4'. L. Appletun & Co.. Hew York City.

This is largely a question of argument In which the negative side would, win easily. The central idea in the book is a glorification of everything German and a "roast" for nearly everything American.

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. -U I
