Father and Son

THE DOMINANT BLOOD--Robert E. McClure -- Doubleday, Page ($2.00). There are really two novels within this high-titled volume. Both are so excellently wrought that a third novel, a sequel, would seem inevitable. The first novel relates concurrently the life of father and son. It concludes with son's inheritance which consists of: a) The memory of a father who died in unmitigated disgrace; b) $6,000,000 worth of breweries, steel railways, iron-foundries piled together by Grandfather Moldenhauer, a classic German-American of Columbus, Ohio. The second novel relates the story of the Great War as it was fought concurrently in the hearts of German-American mother and Yale-American son. It concludes a victory that warbles faintly in the breast of the latter.
