Mr. Sterling Sticks it Out
By HAROLD BEGBIE
Author of “Broken Earthenware,” “Living Water,” etc, etc., etc.
Crown 8vo. 6s.net.
Thispowerful and much-discussed novel, though written in the winter of 1917, could not be published until recently owing to the action of the Censors. It is a study of the character of two brothers, both of whom are faithful to their ideals—the one dying on the field of battle, and the other falling a victim to his harsh treatment in prison as a Conscientious Objector. The story has been splendidly received, and the whole press has joined in condemning in most indignant terms the folly of the Press Bureau in withholding the book so long from circulation. Mr. Begbie himself, in a vigorous Preface, gives a detailed account of his negotiations with the Authorities, and this lends additional interest to what is not only a fascinating novel, but a work that will possess much historical value to the future student of England during the Great War.

Labour in the Commonwealth
A Book for the Younger Generation
By G. D. H. COLE, M.A.
Author of “The World of Labour,” “Self-Government in Industry,” etc.
New Edit. Cr. 8vo. 5s.6d.net.
Theclaim to democratic control in industry follows logically and immediately upon the recognition of the humanity of Labour. As soon as we rid ourselves of the notion that Labour is something that can be abstracted from the labourer, from the man who possesses labour-power, it is at once evident that all the arguments in favour of political democracy apply with no less force in the industrial sphere.

“Itis a real pleasure in these days of social pandemonium,” says theMorning Post, “to come upon a treatise which is the essence of clarity, steeped in scholarship that yet knows the value of the light wine of wit. Although the range of vision is for the most part particularly comprehensive, a criticism of existing philosophical notions could not well be more concise.”
