THE OUTLOOK ADVERTISING SECTION New and Forthcoming Novels George Moore's Masterpiece THE BROOK KERITH "The Brook Kerith" tells in a most striking way a new story of the life of Jesus. "The Brook Kerith' is an astonishing achievement. . . . The reader becomes steeped in the scenery, the ways and thoughts of ancient Syria, not in a Syria reborn through the painful toil of the archeologist, but a Syria that is as living to-day, humanly speaking, as it was two thousand years ago.... It is his instinct for the right word, his simplicity of method, his flow of language gliding imperceptibly from sheer colloquialism to passionate poetic expression, that makes his book pre-eminent as an example of perfect literary style.”—New York Times. Second Edition Now Ready. $1.50 THE TURTLES OF TASMAN Jack London's New Book A collection of the best new stories by THE HUNGRY STONES and Other Stories Rabindranath Tagore's New Book Mr. Tagore's short stories in his own translations, and illustrated by native Indian artists. None of the material in this volume has ever appeared before in English. Ready in October GOLD MUST BE TRIED BY FIRE Richard A. Maher's New Novel As brimful of action and character as Mr. Maher's recent novel, "The Shepherd of the North," which was considered by many as one of the most interesting stories of the Ready in October season. PILOT H. Plunkett Green's New Novel H. G. Wells' New Novel MR. BRITLING SEES IT THROUGH A story of profound interest and appeal in which Mr. Wells gives us a most vivid picture of the real effects of the war on the hearts and minds of the English people. Published September 20. $1.50 THE MACMILLAN COMPANY, Publishers, New York This department will include descriptive notes, with or without brief comment, about all books received by The Outlook. Many of the important books will have more extended and critical treatment later "The story of a love match in which comes conflict between the artistic temperament and the home-making instinct. Can a steadfast, homeloving woman and a brilliant, dynamic man find happiness together?" Rising Tide (The). By Margaret Deland. Harper & Brothers, New York. $1.35. "The girl of to-day in revolt against the restrictions which bound woman in the past." Witty, well written, and provocative of thought. We hope to comment on Mrs. Deland's story later in connection with other important fiction of the season. Short Stories from "Life." The Eighty-one Prize Stories in "Life's" Short Story Contest. With an Introduction by Thomas L. Masson. Doubleday, Page & Co., New York. $1.25. This singular contest increased the rate of payment in accordance with the shortness of the story. The author was paid ten cents a word for every word less than 1,500. Thus the longest accepted story had 1,495 words; the author got fifty cents; the shortest had 76 words; the author got $142.40. About 30,000 manuscripts were received and $12,000 was spent in prizes and payment. Some of the stories are extremely clever. BOOKS FOR YOUNG FOLKS The Billy Topsail, M.D. By Norman Duncan. Fleming H. Revell Company, New York. $1.25. The third of Mr. Duncan's "Billy Topsail books-full of northern briskness and vigor. It recounts the adventures of Billy and Archie in company with "Dr. Luke of the Labrador," who, if not Dr. Grenfell, is mighty like him. This is a capital boys' book. Jungle Chums. By A. Hyatt Verrill. Henry Holt & Co., New York. $1.35. A story of boys' adventures in British Guiana with reliable and curious information about the country-people, animals, plants, etc. It is an excellent boys' book, but we will not say it is quite as good as Mr. Verrill's recent "Marooned in the Forest," which was the best out-of-door book we have seen for a long time. HISTORY, POLITICAL ECONOMY, AND POLITICS Our Eastern Question. By Thomas F. Millard. The Century Company, New York. $3. The author of this work has been for years a traveler and a resident in the Far East, is at present the editor of the "China Press "-a newspaper published in English at Shanghai-and is perhaps the most authoritative American writing from the Far East. His view point is frankly that of an American looking at the Far East with the focus of a patriotic national, and the most interesting part of the book is that which deals with the future relations between Japan and the United States. Mr. Millard says that the clash of national interests has brought about a deadlock between the two countries" which can be loosened only by one side receding completely, or by a fight;" and he concludes that "Japan is making deliberate preparations in anticipation, if not actually in expectation, of a collision with the United States." This is distinctly a book to provoke thought. RELIGION AND PHILOSOPHY Man of Power (The). A Series of Studies in Christian Efficiency. By Lynn Harold Hough. The Abingdon Press, New York. 75c. Professor Hough writes as efficiently as his subject requires. His style is energetic, his discriminations clear cut. He covers his wide field with a succinct and suggestive delineation of the spheres, principles, and conditions of efficiency in thought and action. The end he keeps in view is the spiritual efficiency inspired by the conviction of being a coworker with an efficient God. He defines it as "the possession of a sturdy virility chastened by a noble mysticism." This is a good book, especially for young men and women on the threshold of life. WAR BOOKS Elements of the Great War (The). The Second Phase: The Battle of the Marne. By Hilaire Belloc. Hearst's International Library Company, New York. $1.50. "The main subject of the second volume is the Battle of the Marne, the second phase of the war, and, in Belloc's opinion, one of the great turning points of human history as a whole, perhaps the chief military event of Christian times in the West."
