A History of the Great War, by Sir Arthur
Conun Doyle. fA. Geo. H. Doran Co..
New York City.
Bqulpped by life-long habits of ob
servation, and helped by access to
numerous official papers, diaries, and
personal letter of officers and en
listed men in which battle scenes as
they actually existed are described,
this book is one of the notable war
records of the year.
From the viewpoint of a British ex
ponent, we read a fair, candid and in
telligent account of the British cam
paign la France and Flanders, in the
year 1914, the time the big war be
gan. As a permanent record, the book
will go far, and is sure to be highly
valued. No spirit of boasting is shown,
and it is agreeable to note that Ger
man opponents are not abused, but re
ceive fair treatment.
The chapter heads are: "The Break
Iffg of Peace," "The Opening of the
War," "The Battle of Mons," "The Bat
tle of Le Cateau," "the Battle of the
Marne." "The Battle of the Aisne,"
"The La - Basse .- Armentieres Opera
tions." "The First Battle of Ypres,"
"A Retrospect and General Summary,"
and "The Winter Lull of 1914."
It is stated that early in the war,
'particularly at the period of and about
the Battle of Mons, "the British made
the mistake several times of trust
ing surgeons and orderlies to the ene
my's mercy, with the result that they
were inhumanly treated, both by the
authorities at the front and by the
populace in Germany, whither they
were conveyed as starving prisoners
of war. For the first six months, the
Germans' treatment of prisoners was
brutal In the extreme, and frequently
accompanied by torture and neglect."
It is estimated that the desperate
struggle of December 6, 7, 8 and 9,
1914, between Von Kluck and the
French General Maunoury, was the
first turning point of the war. Von
Kluck saw that the French . general
must be crushed, and he "passed back
tvvo army corps across the Ourcq and
fell upon the French with such vio
lence that for two days it was Impos
sible to say which side would win. At
one time the situation Heemed desper
ate, but 20,000 men. odchy and ends of
very kind Republican guards, gen
darmes and others were rushed out
from Paris In a five-mile line of auto
mobiles, and the action was restored.
Only on the morning of the 10th did
the Germans withdraw in despair, held
In the front by the brave Maunoury,
and in danger of being cut off by the
British to the east of them."
With reference to the usefulness of
aeroplanes, it is stated that it is only
when weather interferes and prevents
aeroplanes from rising, that a general
realizes how indispensable these ma
chines have become to him. "As a wit
expressed it, they have turned war
from a game of cards into a game of
chess."
After the battle of the Marne. !t
was found that the Germans had per
fected, with the aid of petrol, a meth
od of burning their dead. "Apart
from the losses the mere fact that a
great German army had been hustled
across 30 miles of country, had been
driven from river to river, and had fin
ally to take refuge In trenches in or
der to hold their ground, was a great
encouragement to the allies. The bat
tle must also be regarded as a fixed
point in military history, since It was
the first time since the days of the
great Napoleon that a Prussian army
had been turned and driven. It la im
possible not to admire the way in
which the German general in command-observed
and tried to profit by;
finv e-n n in th British line"
At the battle of the Aisne, the Brit
ish fought in undrained trenches deep
in water. "The men lay without over
coats and drenched to the skin, for
the rain was incessant. Yet the sixth
day found them on the exact ground
upon which they had thrown their
weary bodies after the attack. Neither
in endurance nor in courage have the
British departed from the traditions
of their ancestors. The unending strain
of the trenches reached the limits of
human resistance. But the line was
always held."
It is calculated that the casualty list
of Belgian. French, British and Ger
man, in the battles that centered
around Tpres, extending to the Yser
canal on the north, and to La Basse
on the south, must be 250,000 and may
be more than 300,000 men. In the La-Bas-se-Armontieres
battles. General
Bmith-Dorriens' troops fought for two
months. The -strength oU the corps
was 37,000 men, of whom 10,000 men
were lost in August. 1914, 10,000 in
Bepterabcr, and 5000 in October quite
heavy losses.
Complaints were made at this bat
tle that the British were handicapped
by want of high explosives, to use
with big guns. Among the prisoners
captured by the British at this fight
were 300 Germans belonging to Saxon
regiments, and in this connection our
author remarks: "It was a strange
turn of fate which after 1500 years,
brought tribesmen who had wandered
up the course of .the Elbe, face to face
in deadly strife with fellow tribesmen
who had passed over the sea to Brit
ain." It Is thought that had the Germans
broken through the British at Gheluv
elt. In the series of fights at the first
battle of Ypres, they would have
hacked their way to the sea, and thus
changed the world's history. The
force that saved the day was the Sec
ond Worcester regiment they closed
up the gap and held it.
"It would be an ungenerous foe who
would not admit that the Germans had
fought bravely and well. Not all our
hatred for their national ideals nor our
contempt for their crafty mlsleaders
can prevent us from saluting those
German officers and soldiers who
poured out their blood like water in
the attempt to do that which was im
possible." 6uch Is the first of the big war books
of the conflict, from a British view
point. The time has not come as yet
to get the German side of the question.
Succeeding With What Yon Rave, by Charles
M. Schwab. 00 cants., Tha Century Co..
New York City.
Here Is a book that all men and wo
men ought to read, and ponder over. It
teaches Inspection and uplift. ' Its
author Is a famous American captain
of industry, the directing head of the
Bethlehem, Pa., Steel Company.
Here are two remarkable cuttings
from the book: "I can never express
the wonderful help Mrs. Schwab has
been to me, from the very start. Not
long ago a group of men offered me a
large sum, , $60,000,000, I believe, for
half of Bethlehem. I told my wife
about it that evening. This is a big
sum,' I said. 'Half of what I have is
yours. What shall we do? If we sell,
your snare Invested at five per cent,
will bring you an income of more than
$100,000 a month for the rest of your
life.' We wouldn't sell for five times
that,' my wife said. 'What would I do
with the money? And what would you
do without your work,' I have seen
more men fail in business through the
attitude taken by their wives in their
younger days than from all the vices
put together. A nagging wife, or one
who is not in sympathy with a man's
work, 'who expects impossible things
of him, and Is incapable of taking: a
general intelligent interest in his work,
is one of the worst handicaps he could
have. If a man works with hts mind
clogged by domestic troubles he is of
no use to himself, his employer, or the
world at large. ;
"Some of those nations across the
Atlantic have very definite divisions
'Philosophy can bake
no bread, hut she can
give us God, freedom
and immortality.

of aristocracy. Men in i whose veins
flow titled blood, are vested with the
right to eit in high places. I have al
ways believed that the aristocracy of
any country should be the men who
have succeeded the men who have
aided in upbuilding their country the
men who have contributed to the effi
ciency and happiness of their fellow
men. If America is to have an aristo
cracy, let it be so builded. And our
future will be safe.
possible now to present ,ny of the
poems in this collection on account of
pressure on newspaper space.

The Beetle, by Richard Marsh. $1.00. G.

An English novel, with a recital so
creeping a .realism so gripping, that

Oh, Mary, Be Careful! by George Weston.
$1. Illustrated. J. B. Llpplncott Co.,
Philadelphia,
Not very long ago, a humorist pub
lished a sketch in which he represented
a woman saying: "What do I want
to make me happy? An annuity of
$5000 a year, and $50,000 in cash at
the bank, and nothing else to do all
my life but take ease. I don't like
work. I don t want any mam or chil
dren around me! I don't want any
body to Interfere with me."
Something of this spirit of do-noth-Ingness
has crept at first into the be
ing of the heroine fashioned by our
author. The story is ar-joyous, refresh
ing one.
Mary Meacham was as pretty as a
rainbow, as bright as a diamond, but
oh! what a tortured time she had in
following the instructions of an aunt,
an old maidenish, rich aunt, who died.
Aunt Myra was a disgruntled spinster
who lived with her pretty niece in an
ancestral home in New England. She
had been so upset by an affair in her
early twenties that through the long
years that followed she thought of
little but men, their selfishness, their
pride, their coarseness. When she
died, she left an amazing will $50,000
and the house went to Mary, If she re
mained single if she married, the same
$50,000 and that same house were to
go to the Penobscot Home for Feeble
Minded Girls.
Such was Aunt'Myra'a will. In ad
dition, she left a book entitled "Why
Mary Shouldn't Marry," which in es
sence told Mary that, "First, you'll
never find a man who Is pure in heart:
second, you'll never find a man who
isn't a natural-born tyrant; third, you'll
never find a man whose love is su
perior o his appetite." In addition,
she left three tests, to try upon any
man who happened to tempt her niece!
The poor old woman was buried deep
and properly, but her will and that
book seemed to keep her cackling voice
alive and shouting, "Oh, Mary, Be Care
ful!" How Mary meets men. compares
them, and applies the Three Acid Tests,
Is decidedly entertaining reading.
Then Mary meets the right young
man, and
Why Men Flrht. by Bert run d ' Russell.
$1.00.. The Century Co., New York City.
Between the milk-an(f-water pacifist
and the fiery fighter who is animated
only by the Joy of fighting comes Ber
trand Russell, Englishman, , who ap
peals to reason. Mr. Russell is a
grandson of Lord John Russell, ex
Premier of Great Britain, and is heir
to the present Earl Russell. Until re
cently he held a lectureship at Trinity
College. Cambridge. He is one of the
most celebsated of living mathema
ticians. His previous publications in
clude "Principles -of Mathematics,"
"Problems of Philosophy" and "Our
Knowledge of the External World as a
Field for Scientific Method Of Phi
losophy." Mr. Russell says be desires ardently
the victory of the entente allies in the
present war, yet he is one of the con
scientious objectors to conscription in
England. He Is a curious puzzle. Men
like Mr.. Russell really help opponents
more than friends.

Blndle, by Herbert Jenkins. $1.33. Fred
erick W. Stokes Co.,. New York City.
"Women is all right, if-yer can keep
'em from marrying yer."
This is the shrewd philosophy of
Blndle, Englishman, pratlcal Joker,
Journeyman furniture maker and
gloom-destroyer. The spiritual fervor
of Bindle's wife, whose pet abnomina
tlons are "Dirtand the Devil," makes
Btndle's home one of deep religious
gloom. Yet his sense 'of the comic is
quite unquenchable and his pent spirits
effervesce at the slightest provocation.
How he intoxicates an entire Temper
ance League picnic, outwits a mesmer
ist, impersonates an Australian mil
lionaire, upsets hotel-people in a side
splitting practical Joke of changed
room-numbers, and yet remains
throughout the story a warm-hearted,
likeable young man. Is a decided mys
tery. "Blndle" Is one of the Joyous
books of the season.

LEGAL SIDELIGHTS FOR
LAWYERS AND LAYMEN
BY HEYNELLE G. K. CORNISH. OF PORTLAND BAR.
NOT a burglar. When is a burglar
not a burglar? asks the case of
Vicery vs. State, 137 S. W. 687.
The defendant In this case was a man
ufacturer of soda water. A rival man
ufacturer named Hogan opened up an
other soda water factory at the same
place. "Defendant met him and told
him . that several had tried to run an
opposition manufactory to him, and he
had always succeeded in putting them
out of business, and It would not take
him (defendant) long to put Hogan
out of business.
A few-nights after this conversation,
the evidence shows that the defendant
broke In the' door of Hogan's place of
business, knocking out the glass, the
noise boJng heard at least two blocks
away. A passerby who heard the noise
reported It to the officer. The officer
found the defendant in the building.
The owner of the property missed noth
ing, and the defendant had nothing in
his possession belonging to Hogan, but
had in his hip pocket a bottle of oil
and a wrench. There was also evi
dence that the soda water machine had
been ' tampered with so that it was
leaking.
The trial court convicted the defend
ant of burglary and sentenced him to
two years In the penitentiary, but the
Court of Appeals reversed the decision,
saying. In part: "When a person enters
a building through a window at a late
hour of the night, after the lights are
extinguished, and no explanation is
given of his intent, it may well be
inferred that his purpose was to com
mit larcency, such being the usual in
tent under such circumstances. . .
"In this case, however, the -evidence
of the defendant would tend to show
that he had lived in Ellis County for
20 years and had always borne the rep
utation of being an honest man; that on
the night in question he was drinking
more or less, and, as he claimed, to
the extent that he did not know what
he was doing; that about 10 minutes
before breaking into the house he
talked to the officer who afterward
arrested him and went from him to
the building of Hogan. making a noise
that was heard blocks away."
The defendant claimed that there had
been no silent or stealthy entry, that
no property had been taken, and that
the only damage done was the un
screwing of the bolts and nuts, where
If oil or other substances were placed
they could ruin the flavor of the manu
factured soda water, that the oil found
in his possession was lubricating oil
and that he had no matches; that his
sole object and purpose in breaking
and entering the house was to dam
age the quality of Hogan's soda water
and thus injure his trade.
The court upheld the defendant's po
sition, saying: "There was no denial
that defendant broke the door and en
tered the house. The only issue in tha
case was with what intent did he do
so. 'If he went in there and all ha
did was to unscrew the bolts and nuts
of the machinery with the intent to
place oil therein to ruin the flavor, this
would not constitute burglary. ...
We do not wish to be understood as
holding that drunkenness is any excuse
or justification for crime in this state,
but the fact that he was drunk might
be a circumstance, with other facts in
the case, to consider in arriving at
what was his intent in entering the
building to Injure the flavor of the
soda water or to commit theft.
"In either event, the defendant la
guilty of an offense. One. however,
to go into the house with Intent to
mix oil with the soda water, is a msi
demeanor, while the other is a felony,
and the defendant having been found
guilty of the higher grade and sen
tenced to the penitentiary, we think,
on account of the matter complained
of. a new trial should have been
granted.
Gossiping Directors. Beware of tha
director with the snarp tongue, says
the case of Hill et aL vs. Murphy et
al., 98 N. E. 781, for he may Involve
the corporation in a suit for damages
for the libelous statements he has
made. If the corporation has to pay
for its director's indiscretion, it may,
however, have redress against the err
ing director, vnder the well-established
rule that "directors of a cor
poration occupy the position of quasi
trustees snd are liable to the corpora
tion for breach of their duty."
In the case cited, the directors of
a corporation had published in its name
a libel against one Hill, in connection
with hia duties as treasurer and di
rector of the company. Hill sued the
corporation for libel and recovered
damages, whereupon this action was
brought by the stockholders of the
corporation to obtain reimbursement
from the directors whose statements
nad been made the basis for the sue
cessful suit against the corporation.
The court held that "the corporation
could recover from the directors re
sponsible for the llbeL saying In part:
"Regardless .of whether the publishing
of the libel was within the powers of
the corporation, the tortious act al
leged to be willfully done by the di
rectors to gratify their personal ends
was a breach of the duty they owed
as quasi trustees and it has resulted
In loss to the corporation.
"The liability of directors is not
limited to cases where the loss to the
corporation results from - fraudulent
misconduct on their part, or where they
have received financial profit which
in equity belongs to the company. And
the familiar decisions of non-liability
of directors acting honestly and within
their powers for losses sustained by'
the corporation through their negli
gence do not apply."
