Another recreation typical of the spirits of the Northmen was horseng, a pastime much preferred to -racing. Two stallions were matched ht, which they did with hoofs and being urged on by their owners with sticks. Applauding crowds of specs no doubt got as much joy out of form of entertainment as Britons of ame period derived from bear-baiting.

THE

A

own story—

VICTORY

க்க்

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 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?

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 horti culturist 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 asso ciated with The Outlook as its adver tising manager. We suspect, however, that if Mr. Carman could order the world to his liking he would write him self down as "vocation: writing, hunt ing, and fishing; avocation: business." He writes as one who knows by inher itance 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 progress ivism in New York State, but also as a frequent contributor on political subjects to our columns. The social devel opment of America is closely bound up with its industrial processes, and there fore it is distinctly appropriate that so close a student of our political and social development should devote himself to the preparation of a survey of conditions in one of the most modern

of American industrial centers. It is a enport tells of "Treating Men White very human story which Senator Dav in Akron Town."

Dr. Bliss was a personal friend of Dr. Abbott's. This article is an authentic interpretation of the great work of an outstand ing character in American religious, and educational history.
