MANS Ia CHANCE" By Eugene Marie Friedwald. New York; ing ONCE MORE an earnest man warns that unless war is abolished by all nations, civilization will be annihilated. He is Eugene-Marie Friedwald, author of “Man’s Last Chance.” | But I wonder how far his message will go and how many persons will pay $2 just to read it.

"THE YEARS OF THE PILGRIM. AGE." A novel. By Kenneth S. Davis New York, Doubleday,

IT MAY seem a left-handed com-|-pliment to say “The Years of the Pilgrimage” has a kind of 19thCentury solidity. But that phrase occurred to me in reading Kenneth 8. Davis’ weil|planned, well thought-out novel of small-town life in Kansas, “The Years of the Pilgrimage” is not primarily a novel of incident. It's rather a study of Interwoven ~|lives, of the influence personalities exert on each other, Most of ell, it’s the record of Harcourt Stevens, richest man in the little sounty-| seat town of Beecher, and of what his strength and weakness combined do to_people around him,
