THE Forum" for March CNew York;
contains a dozen timely and important
articles. The arbitration treaty is dis
| cuSsed by two competent authorities
the Hon. Frederic r. Coudert. the emf
nent international lawyer, and Theo-
dore S. Woolsey. Professor of Interna-
tional Law at Yale. Each has few
criticisms to make. but both agree in
declaring the treaty to be a consider
| able step toward a better order of
things. Hon. Perry Belmont, the we'll
| known politician, crticises Mr.. Rob-
erts' views in paper entitled Taxa
ton: It's Sum, Justification and Meth
DDS" William Allen White contributes
a striking paper on THE Present and
| Future of Kansas" James Schouler
the eminent constitutional lawyer and
historian, reviews those of Mr.. Cleve-
lands administrative acts which have
provoked the criticism that he has ar
rogantly and illegally stretched his
| constitutional powers. DIR. George F.
| Shrady, editor of the New York Med
ical Record in a brilliant article, re-
views the most important recent tri-
umphs in medicine and surgery. Fred
! erick Harrison discusses the letters Of
Edward Gibbon.
In view of the present uprising of the
! Greeks in Crete, an article-the last
from his pen-by the late Professor
John Stuart Blackie, the celebrated
philologist and philhellenist, is very
| timely in that it gives an absorbingly
| interesting and eloquent account of the
| present political and economical posi-
tion of Greece. Professor Blackie very
| pertinently remarks that although the
Greeks have been miserably downtrod-
! den by the TURKS for 400 years. there
nevertheless lives behind the outward
show of slavish debasement, a heart of
| sturdy independence that cherishes the
| patriotic memories of ages and seiZes
eagerly on every chance that may en-
| able it to stand before the world as a
noble people determined to die rather
| than live the slaves of hateful tyranny.
with its finances on a stable basis. he
| predicts glorious future for Greece.
