MV FOUR YEARS IN GERMANY
by Jamei W. Gerard, American
ambaeeador, one of the most im
portant contributions to the liters
ture of present day events
Perhaps nowhere can one obtain
a fairer, more faith fail presentation of
affair* In Germany, from the Amtr
lean point of view than in thi.« book
oi Mr Gerard
adtulrabln moderation and wi'h
very real deulre to avoid exaggera 1
tlon cn either aide * Th- ixi-.;
chapter on “MHitartain in Germany!
and the ZaK-m affair” is h rev* la ,
lion It wan this series of events
which decided the '‘system. 01 |
military autocracy, for s speedy war I
says Mr, Gerald It was the han i |
writing on the w all. The Social (
Democrats at that time showed such i
amazing boldness that the govern j
-
done to quell their rising courage
and power In a military country,
ready for action, this "something
was natural!* war The Serb
ian assassination, "and subsequent |
events, gave the opportunity for au
tocracy to assert itself with the
mailed flst. The military system
la described by Mr. Gerard in a
lurid manner ami gives to Ameri
can minds a much clearer under-j
standing .of this institution. \ e i
nlflcant fact related is ’hat on May ?
20. 1914. when the ad
joumod, the Social I a-tnocr.i' - re
fused to rise and ihrer the cm
peror, as is the custom, trying, tu
stoad, to drown the cheers with
hoe' -and Li -* • < 1 ■••* '
whose course of action has caused \
conflicting opinion* in American
minds, is given credit hy Mr tier
avd, for a splendid and fearless
stand against the government The j
author corroborates the general
opinion in America ’hat it was the,
intention of the military party to j
win the European war and then j
turn its attention to America. Al
together there could scarcely he
anvone better fitted to give a true
account of German affairs to the
peoplo of this country. M*e must
also appreciate the fact that Mr.
Gerard appears to be complete'y In
command of his reason and never
allows emotion to carry' him astray

IN THE WORLD, by Maxim Gorky,
the second volume of the famous
Russian’s autobiography; sequel
to “My Childhood”
Now, when all eyes are concern
trated upon Russia, to see what the
next act of the great drama stacod
Jn that half occidental, half ori
ental country jw ill be, the life of th»*
lower middle and working classes
faithfully reproduce*! by Gorky, will
be an Illumination in our befuddled
minds. Like all the great Russian
writers, Gorky Is a realist (com
parable to the French Zolai, and
paints his pictures in big splashes
of drab or lurid color. There i*
nothing attractive in’ this book If.
tells a sordid story of a Russian
boy’s struggle for existence It is
an almost unbelievable tale, but the'
reader knows that It is true from
first to last, and follows its un
eventful chapters with intense in
torest. Russian character is shown
without apology or excuse. Rome of
the men have gleams of nobility, or
at least a certain decent kindness,
but th** women--. If they are a pic
ture of the females of the
▼lkl. we must, tremble for the future
of the torn and troubled country
The fact that there Is a Gorky and
others of hls kind. Is a guarantee
that out of Injustice, oppression.
Overcoats!
Overcoats!
Overcoats!
Never before have tre had
so many—and never have we
had a finer, more dependable
lot of them than right now.
There are warm Ulsters,
there are Chesterfields, trench
coats, form-fitters —some
double-breasted, some single.
And there’s the greatest
lot of overcoatings you ever
saw. All fabrics and all colors.
And priced surprisingly
