LONDON, April e.-An article on Cec'i

in the forthcoming number of The Amerl-
can Review Of Reviews. The article. e1-
cerpts from which follow, consists OF
frank. powerful explanation OF cec''
Rhodes views on America ana s'reas
Britain. and. for tho first time, sets form
his own inmost aims. 1t was written oy
himself to w. 7. Stead in 1890 For or1e1-
nality and breadth Of thought it eclipses
even his now famous will. yet it is mere
~ a. collection OF disjonted ideas. hur-
riedly put together by the colossus with
summary of a long conference between
himself and MIR. Stead. In those days
Mr.. Stead was not only one of Mr.
Rhodes most intimate friends. as indeed
he was till the last. but also his exeou-
tor.
Mr.. Stead's name was removed from
the list of the trustees OF Mr. Rhodes
will only because of the war, which forced
The two men into such vehement politi-
cal opposition. In its three columns. OF
complex sentences the whole philosophy
OF Mr. Rhodes International and lndl-'
vidual life is embraced. Perhaps it can
best be summarized as an argument in
favor OF the organization of a secret So
ciety on the lines of the Jesuit Order.
for the promotion of the peace and well
fare of the world. and the establishment
of an American British Federation. with
absolute llome-rule for the component
parts.

believed, soon settle the all-important

might finish the war by union with
America and universal peace afte- a

But towards this millennium Mr..
Rhodes believed the most powerful fac

a desire to do something. and who are
spared the '.hideous annoyance" daily
created by the thought as, to which ''of
