If you're one of the 75.000 who bought "Action at Aquila" even before the publication, then you've already compared it with "Anthony Adverse". Those of you who 'laven't read Mr. Allen's latest lovel will want to know how it anks with its predecessor. "Action at Aquila" falls far ihOTt of expectations. Its theme is rather uninspiring, featuring the English widow of a southern officer as the heroine of the tory, and a colonel 'very much ;lven to introspection > as the hero. A modern version of the War Between the States, the novel is merely another romance of the traditional "north vs south" variety. Nevertheless, it's a book you'll want because it is causing so much discussion. An unusual book is Frank dough's "Renown". For the first time. Benedict Arnold has received sympathetic treatment at he hands of a writer. Mr. Hough ;as attempted to explain to his reader the psychology back of Arnold's acts, and he has done a good job. The book can hardly be termed a novel as the author has called it. for it presents so accurate a record of the famous traitors life. On the other hand, the author's analysis and comments keep it from being merely a biography. "Renown" is a skillfully-told tale of one of history's most fascinating figures. Mr. Hough undoubtedly has too much sympathy for Arnold, but he has very vividly brought to like this eighteenth century character.

These demands, if accepted, will mean a great sacrifice on the part of the Czechs. Regardless of this a full acceptance is expected since Czechslovakia has no assurance of military aid if she opposes. Without the aid of her allies, Germany would have little trouble in taking the little country. A compromise, however high the sacrifice, is cheaper than the total loss of the Czechoslovakian republic and the officials realize just that. Of course they will sign Hitler's demands and the score will be one more up for Hitler.
We are discouraged as word reaches us that two more people have died almost immediately after having taken the cancer serum. This makes the total number of deaths from the serum last week ten. Had the serum become really contaminated or has the serum not reached the perfection scientists had hoped?
