Here we have a call to changed man

spiritual reality, as affecting the pres
ent and immediate future of lands In
Asia now unfortunately possessed by
the Turks.
Mr. Mathews is an experienced trav
eler and observer in those parts of
Asia referred to. and he insists that it
Ib high time the Turk be prevented any
longer from governing those fair lands
on which he is a blight. He thinks
that in place of the Turk as ruler, the
principles of applied Christianity
should be substituted.
In a preface, we have this thought
ful message from Viscount Bryce:

Told in picturesque style, with a vein
of patriotic Americanism in it that
holds the reader's attention, "The High
flyers" depicts scenes in the busy man
ufacturing city of Detroit. Mich., In the
days before we entered the war against
Germany.
The hero is Potter Walte, son of a
millionaire industrial king of that
name. At first Potter is a gilded Idler,
disposed to be a drunkard and living in
the lap of luxury. Gradually, however,
he visions that before long America
will enter the war, and he becomes
stalwart enemy against German plot
ters who are blowing up munitions
plants, etc. He determines that to win
the war America will need more than
20,000 airplanes, and with his father's
Immense capital he invents a man
power airplane engine of more than
200-horsepower, and proceeds to make
countless planes.
Potter is the principal factor in un
masking a curious visitor in Detroit, a
cosmopolitan named Mr. Cantor, who in
reality is a German spy, and whose
real name is Lieutenant von Arnheim,
a personal agent of the kaiser's.
The heroine is Hildegarde von Essen,

Clemenceau:' The Man and His Time, by
H. M. Hlndman. S2. Fred A. Stokes Co.,
New York City.
It is significant of one of the signs
of our times that our author, the recog
nized leader of the British socialists,
should present such an appreciative,
searching, informing biography of
Clemenceau, the great near-socialist
or individualist, who is premier of
France, the implacable "tiger" of the
opposition, and one of the big forces
who have helped to win the war.
This estimate of Clemenceau also is
a human, frank one with mistakes
and virtues both pointed out.

1 Musi rated. George H. Doran Co., New
York City.
British "from keel to topmast," this
novel of British seadogs tells of sea
duels that fairly stir the blood. The
time depicted is the sea conflict be
tween Britain and Germany, and "Bar-
timeus" is as much at home in mis sort
of thing as Kipling is in hjs depart
ment. In real life "Bartimeus" is Lewis da
Costa, a paymaster in the British navy,
and he writes so Intimately that he
makes the reader feel the decks under
his feet.
These chance paragraphs are charac
teristic of our author's style:
"Battle and battle-cruiser squadrons and
light cruisers raise steam for full speed with
all dispatch. Report by squadrons when
ready. Nth battle squadron, destroyers and
submarines proceed Instantly and rendez
vous In execution of previous orders." The
echoes broke back from the quiet hills and
died away.

ship. "Hold tight, Emma! were oir:"
