MacGrath believes in grabbing the reader' attention on the first page with a mystery, or the exciting en trance of tome character, and then maintaining the excitement at a high pitch throughout. This last book of hit is no exception. And it has a strictly modern setting bolshevik intrigues in America. Ti three principal characters are ill likeable, but "Cutty," war corre spondent, aent of the federal gov ernment iu the campaign against the feds, courageous, resourceful and self-sacrificing, stands out above the ethers. The story deals with a Rug van noble who has escaped to Ameri ra, bringing with him all ot the fam ily jewels, including tvo immense rmeralds. th$ "Drums of Jeopardy."

Publtahad by ', Harpar & Broi., New Tork and London, f Of 13,000,000 immigrants in this country in 1910 who were more than v a rs iss e ii. years ot age j.uuu.wu oi mem ould not speak the English lan guage. Ten, million could not speak . .hnglisn when they came to tnis . : country. Only -760,000 of them were of the age where they were subject to the compulsory school laws, a census in 1916 would undoubtedly have shown even more startling fig ures. Knowledge of these facts at the time of our entry into the world war, occasioned uneasiness in some quarters and resulted in legislation in many of the states. 'n This book by Mr. Thompson, su 7ierintendent of nublic schools, Bos ton, is the first of U studies of i Americanization aimed to establish a common riewooint, social, political "and itdnitrial, between native Americans and the immigrant popu lation, in the interest of national unity. Mr. Thompson does licit be lieve that -the night school is more " 'than scratching the surface. He ; takes up the different organizations which are working to Americanize the immigrant and outlines t their , work. A summary of legislation is , also Riven, including comment on the recent Nebraska laws. One section deals with methods of teaching Eng lish, "An instructive book for any i interested in this class of work. f . .

N'lV THB HOUSE OP 'ANOTHER." By - Rtrir Manila. Published by The Cen- -m fry company, New Tork . f4j "1$ it going to be another fantas : tie. imnrbhable tale?" the reader is inclined to ask himself as he peruses -the first pages of this book. Will :t even go beyond those stories in which one person so easily assumes the life of another and masquerades successfully? Is it going to imply the possibility that the souls of two woman can exchange bodies? We are inclined to revolt at this sugges tion. "And then the author throws m a hint that possibly we are on the wrong track that the woman' who regains consciousness after an auto mobile accident and, loking in the mirror, sees the face of the one whom she thought wis in the other I car, nas a mtterent proDiem to wont out.,- ; And a difficult problem it proves. An unknown house and servant, an unknown man who she gathers is her husband, a se. ies of questionable and unpleasant incidents in the past to overcome, a fear that her secret will be discovered and. that she will be deemed insane! . v How the author haiSvorked out this problem, how she has drawn ;a good lesson here and there from the unique position in which she has placed Elsie and her husband, and how she points out where both had erred in their past life, makes this in teresting story.

One is inclined to doubt whether it will have the popular appear of his pre ceding book, "The Great Imperson ation." But in this boolf, too, there is the same carefully worked-out mystery plot, the conflict of brains. rather than of armed nations, The theme is one, on the other hand, which doCj. not lend itself so well to reader interest We rebel at the idea of a score of labor lead ers having the power, and being on the point Of uswc it, to throw h.ng land into such a chlos, during the third year of fhe world war, that her part in it would be at an end. To be sure, supposedly mild peace terms, conveyed by a submarine and pur porting to bear the signatures of fhe kaiserand Hindenburg, and received from the German socialists, are the basis of their ultimatum to the prime minister. Most cf the leaders have the real interest of their country at heart, but are almost duped by the dominant member of the committee, until the son of a peer, and a woman, half Russian, take a hand, uitter ent views of patriotism, of the part labor might and should play, are brought out during the course ot the story. .

CARRANZA. AND HIS BOL8HEVIK REGIME," by Jorsa Vera Eatanol. Pub lished by Wayalda Preaa, JLoa Angeles, CaL Senor EstanoL former secretary of the interior, as well as secretary of public education in Mexico, declares in this book that the Carranza Con stitution, and the Carranza govern ment is bolshevik "because tley are the constitution and government of a'caste the armed caste of , the lowest social order without any na tional constructive inspiration, dom inated by an appetite and a thirst for riches for its own members, and by a hatred or contempt for all others." He declares that those at preseht at the head. of the govern ment are the men who-battled with Carranza in 1913, and who drew up the constitution of 1917, which is still in force.
