Better business statesmanship is liked which Is organized "along the lines of trvly representative govern ment that takes adequate account of the legitimate interests of employer, employe and the consuming public." Such a plan, it Is pointed out, will ob viate tbe necessity, both apparent aad real, for political Interference with business and Industrial processes.

The statesmanship or stupidity of business men Is of more social significance than tbe statesmanship or stupidity of poli tician a.

Dur ing the past year it has been my as signment and my pleasure ,to try to in terpret the mind and attitude of tbe mora forward-looking business and in dustrial leaders of this country.

I have concerned myself, not with the rank and file, but with those anonymous liberals of tbe business world tha men who may per chance be the pioneers of a new order of business and Industry. I have tried to catch their spirit rather than quote their words This volume Is the result.1 The following chapter headings indi cate further the nature of tbe book: A nation of improvise rs; the back' ground of reconstruction; anonymous liberalism: the politics of Industry business statesmanship. vv hat is tha medicine or cure our author offers to cure Industrial Ills? He' likes co-operation or the acheme by which capitalists and employes buy stock by which they share equally profits and losses of the business but does not get over-enthusiastic about it- He likes tbe policy of tbe International Harvester company to Institute shop committees throughout that industry. as being a start In industrial democracy. It Is argued that this latter plan, to adjudicate business disputes. Is better than tha old scheme by which tha com pany's management lost valuable time In wrangling with workers.

Sergeant-Major Sharp Is a New Zea lander. and Is a member of the fighting force that Australia and New Zealand shipped to. Europe to fight the Hun. His book Is racy, modesL and amus ing. He deals exclusively with Austra lian troops or Auaseya as he calls them and he gives pen-pictures, in most favorable lighL of these Interest' lng and redoubtable worthies. "A Handful of Ausxeys" is notable among current war-books from the rea son tbat It is the first to reach the re viewing desk, telling graphically and In story-fashion just how Australian troops behaved when they battered the German battle lines In France. Tbat is the book's chief merit. Provokingly enough, our author concludes his story Just aa the Ausseys reach the front bat tle-trench and are about ta go "over the top." So intimately doea our author take as into the lines of these Ausseys, that be fore long we begin to feel a personal Interest In the doings and sayings of sucb happy Individuals as Longn, Dags, Hungry, Snow, Bussey, eta In report ing the conversations, much Australian slang is used, and on comparing It closely, one is reminded of Its similarity to cockney dialect beara in juonaon.

In strictly orthodox manner, our au thor srives these conclusions: 1 That faithful souls pass in dying to use immediate presence of Jesus Christ. That they are, as Bishop Gore says, "cleansed and enlightened and perfected." That they are earried mto the heart of their desire In immediate reunion witn tneir neioved who hav gone before.

And of this . number, fully half can neither read, writs nor speak English. In some cities, such as Passaic N. J., or Fall River, Mass., these strangers number a sixth or more of the pop ulation. If thla enormous population, alien In speech or literature or custom, were merely "a population," -merely living among us, that would be one thing to think about. But all of this 10,000,000 are also working among us, trying to build some kind of life for themselves. And In so doing, they have brought themselves into closer relationship with us than we are often willing to admit, even if we are aware of it.

Tha squeezing was repeated, and after tha fourth compression the heart again sUrted beating at first very Irregu larly, and stopping at intervals for two to three reconds. After about ten min utes of this irregularity, the heart beats and pulse started alternating, and the -alternation continued until the onset of tho final collapse preceding tha pa tient's death 16 hours later. During these procedures, Dr. Harries was Impressed by tbe fact that the heart could not be felt through the -diaphragm when it was not beating; but as soon as it commenced to beat. the cardiac impulse was much more distinctly felt than the apex beat on the chest wall. Tbe color of the muc- cus membrane of the Hps was restored 1 after three to four beats of the heart, whereas the color of the peritoneum re turned only after a dozen beats.
