"AMERICA IN THE EAST"

America in the East. A glance at our
history, prospects, problems and duties
in the Pacific ocean. By William Ell
liot Grifis. Barnes & Co., New York
Upon the strength of four years res
idence in the far east, from 1870 to 1914
the author of this readable work taxes
a singularly sanguine view OF TINS
country's future in the Philippines, Ha-
wall and the West Indies. What the
Dutch have done well and the British
better, we, the flower of the Anglo
Saxon race, can accomplish at least as
we'll as they. New responsibilities be-
get new powers, and the fact that the
United States has never managed colo
MES is no reason why it should not ad-
minister them well. The fact that our
new possessions lie in the tropics need
not deter us, for the tropics are now as
healthy as any part of the temperate
zone, and the British are proving every
day that the white man can live in
them. Furthermore, American occupa-
ton in the east has been anticipated by
American missionaries and merchants,
religion and commerce having paved
the way for our successful control of
these parts" This in brief seems to
be Rev. Mr. Griffis' view of the situa
ton, developed through 36 pages in an
interesting fashion. That he discounts
the croakings of editors and politicians
goes without saying. Only. he makes
the proviso, if we are to succeed we
must send to the government of the
Philippines our best men in all the
varied lines of human ability, and we
must offer them fair salaries, secure
tenure of office, a pension on retire
ment and a reasonable amount of dis
tinction and consideration. This is one
of the best points he makes. The book
is valuable because it gives a compre-
hensive view of the aids and the diff
fcuties in the way of a satisfactory So
luton of our colonial problem, review
ing the history of European and Amer
lean relations with Japan and the Phil
ippines and indicating where failures
have been made and conquests won. Its
are, however, somewhat
vitiated by the fact that the authors
data of experience in the east are over
20 years old. The outlook wished Mr..
Grifis to represent it in the Philippines
last year; being unable to comply, he
wrote for them the seven papers show
ing what Americans have done and can
do in lands in or bordering on the Pa
cific, which with fresh matter incor-
porated, and with numerous good pic
lures are now presented in book form.

THE OREYFUS STORY.

The Dreyfus Story BY Richard w.
Hale of the Boston Bar. Small, May
nard & Co., Boston.
Mr.. Hale has placed the public under
obligation to him by his simple, sue
cinct, impartial account of this famous
case. Without technicalities, but with
the legal accuracy to be expected of
lawyer, he has stated the general facts,
leaving to the specialist Tamifcations
of the case into which no one can go,
he says, without being a bore. The
unwillingness 10 make bore of him
self has led the author to take things
for granted that the average reader
may want to have explained. But
several points of the greatest import
ance are made clear, such as the dy-
manic differences between the Anglo
tice. In Anglo Saxon law it is a we'll
recognized principle that the right of
an individual TO justice (and incident
ally to a fair triaD is superior to adj
considerations of state policy. Eng
lish and American courts, independent
of written constitutions. have asserted
the right TO control the acts of the gov
eminent when they infringe on the
rights Of the individual. and to decide
whether and when they do infringe.
BY the French law, by all continental
law, that right is denied. In France
the question of whether an individual
shall have a fair trial or not, has not
hitherto been one of the rights of the
individual, but of the state eXpediency
in the particular case"
From this point Of view, the anti
Dreyfus campaign appears in a much
more favorable light than it can to US.
Mr. Hale is no apologist either for
Dreyfus or his enemies but he empha-
sizes the fact that the FTenchman looks
at the whole business very differently
from what we do, and that the moral
of the case is, on the whole, creditable
to the French nation, because lit marks
a distinct step in advance" THE agi-
tation in favor of Dreyfus has a much
deeper meaning than the mere hope of
innocency. It means the dawn Of the
opinion in the minds of a considerable
body Of Frenchmen that it is better to
secure the Individual a fair trial than
it is TO protect the state administra-
ton at the expense Of injustice. If
the Dreyfus case means, then, that
reasons Of state policy are TO follow
lettres de cachet into the oblivion of a
bad past, France is showing an inn
provement in her ideas of freedom and
IF justice-an Improvement cheap at
twice The cost Of the present agitation"
The Dreyfus Story is a small book
Of IS pages. 1t prettily but simply
bound in gray and may be read in an
hour.

ADA NEGRPS POETRY.

Fate. BY Ada Negri. Copeland &
Day, Boston.
Even through the English translation
the pathos, the power and the lyrical
sweetness of these poems are evident.
They are all in the minor key, their
voice is the voice of suffering, of mis-
cry, of toll unbrightened by compan-
iOnship or beauty or love. The book is
saturated in tears. The following DO

The mists in dreamy train
Rise from the silent plain
All gray.

Towards the clouds that drift

In prayer.

Madame Ian. By Mrs. Campbell
Praed. Appleton &. Co., New York.
(Town and country series.)
This is a picturesque love story, the
scene of which is laid in China and
Japan, affording vivid glimpses of
Oriental places and experiences. Moth
ing daintier and more charming in the
way of atmosphere has appeared in a
recent story. Nine Ian the heroine,
is a beautiful young English woman
who, while stone-blind, married a
young japanese nObleman who was
studying law. A rich Australian uncle
turning up just then, she was separated
from her husband. who promised to
give her absolute freedom for three
years, provided she should bear his
name and at the expiration of that
term meet him at Tokyo and either
marry him or get divorced Shortly
after their separation Nine Ian re-
gained her sight. 1t is while she and
friend are travelling to Tokyo that
the reader makes her acquaintance. In
Hong Kong she meets a big Australian
who is travelling with his sister, and
falls desperately in love with her. The
situation Is farther complicated by the
fact that upon reaching Japan they
engage a guide who turns out to be no
other than the honorable japanese hus-
band of Nine. IZan. The pleasure of
the reader in discovering which man
the charming heroine chooses shall not
be reported by premature disclosures
Madame Ian" is one of the most en-
tertaining books of the season.

"Thera is no shape more terrible than
this"

There is something of aspiration in that
forward look, and coarse features do not
mark stolidty in the Breton peasant,
more than they indicated brutishness in
Socra ties. The companion picture of Mil
let of the Angelus, is the peasant of the
same field but there is the aspiring of the
god man and woman as the music of the
Angelus floats across the fields.
The new poet feels no doubt the woes of
labor. but his song makes labor degrad-
ing. not divine. The very title of the
poem. 1.-The man with the hoe indicates
a false conception. The hos is the instru-
ment of CiviliZa ton, not of oppression;
the brute has no tools, and the implement
Of toll. however crude, means emancipa-
tion. not servitude. and is a prophecy Of
that far off divine event towards which
the whole creation moves" Not only in
this poem but in nearly all of Mark
hams verse. there is the evidence that
the poet has mistaken the flood Of the
tide for its cbb. The peasant is the dis
inherited victim of a lost estate. behind
him is the Elysium from which he has
been driven,
