VICTORY

[ocr errors]

AT SEA

T LAST, the most dangerous, the most picturesque, the most thrilling theater of the war is opened up to the general reader! The mystery that shrouded the naval combat, made necessary by the presence of a treacherous foe, is lifted at last by America's supreme naval commander. It is a book that will repay reading many times-in its extraordinary interest and its historical value. It is history by a man who helped to make it.

A human story

Admiral Sims and his collaborator, Burton J. Hendrick, have made it a vitally human story. To the precision of the naval expert, the care of the historian, is added the touch of human interest and good, sound writing. Did you know

That only once in the life of the British Empire has a foreign naval commander's colors been unfurled over a British naval station?

That there actually was a time when the submarine menace made the future of all civilization look dark?

Can you picture

A premier who never showed the agony he suffered when there he suffered when there seemed no escape from barbarism?

GALLERY

LL the world loves a dog, but to every family there is always one dog who is the dog. Such a dog was Mac, who lived and died as the devoted friend and companion of Travers D. Carman and his father. Mr. Carman's father was the owner and publisher of the "Rural New Yorker" and a horticulturist of note. Mr. Carman, the author of "Mac: A Dog of Honor," which appears in this issue of The Outlook, has been for many years associated with The Outlook as its advertising manager. We suspect, however, that if Mr. Carman could order the world to his liking he would write himself down as "vocation: writing, hunting, and fishing; avocation: business." He writes as one who knows by inheritance and training the true code of the woods.

ENATOR DAVENPORT'S name is famil

iar to Outlook readers not only as that of a Nationally known authority on government and as a leader of progressivism in New York State, but also as a frequent contributor on political subjects to our columns. The social develwith its industrial processes, and thereopment of America is closely bound up fore it is distinctly appropriate that so close a student of our political and social development should devote himconditions in one of the most modern self to the preparation of a survey of of American industrial centers. It is a very human story which Senator Davenport tells of "Treating Men White in Akron Town."

HEODORE MAYNARD is an English poet who deserves well of American readers. He has been a visitor to our shores for the last year, spending a part of the summer at the celebrated MacDowell colony of artists, writers, and musicians at Chocorua, New Hamp shire. Two volumes of poems from his pen have recently appeared in American editions.

The first of these volumes was reviewed in The Outlook for December 24, 1919. The second, as its title discloses," A Tankard of Ale: An AntholMaynard edited, deals with an art or ogy of Drinking Songs," which Mr. occupation which Americans for all

time have decided officially to deny to themselves.

THE Book Table for this week contains an article by the Editor-inChief of The Outlook, Lyman Abbott, on the life-work of one of the most daring and constructive of American missionaries, Daniel Bliss. Dr. Bliss was a personal friend of Dr. Abbott's. This article is an authentic interpretation of the great work of an outstanding character in American religious and educational history.
