and France are each a few billions below

on the basis Of increase from June 30,
1900. to June 3d. 1904 the wealth of the
United States is about $4,000, 100000 In
these early weeks of 1907. The wealth OF
the United States is much greater than
the combined wealth of the countries
which hold the second and the third place
on the roll. And the gap between us and

himself not great enough to cope with
his fate. and In more or less painful cir

VTOWEVER absurd Tolstoi's struc-
II lures upon Shakespeare may seem
to those born in the tradition that
he stands upon a lonely promintory of
excellence unreached by all others, it
does at least give one pause to find three
living authors, all of admitted excellence
in their own kind, disclaiming the
Shakespearan allegiance. Tolstoi denies
Shakespeare's greatness on the grounds
that he is not universal and makes no
appeal to the average man OF today. One
may entirely admit Tolstofs premises
and refuse his deductions. Maetelinck de-
MES Shakespeare greatness on the
grounds of the lack of spiritual wisdom
in his characters, of the low plane upon
which his humanity lives and acts. Mr..
Bernard Shaw denies Shakespeare's SUI
premacy on the grounds OF his being
passe; after three hundred years, he
claims that Il is only natural that there
should be new stock OF ideas and, he
hopes better points OF view. What he
