King Alfred with that of the sheriff,

historians are wrong, according to Dr.

War is raging In literary Lo@don over
drastic attack by the Spectator upon
the English Review. perhaps the most
brilliant and certainly the most advanced
OF British reviews. A contributor to the
latter had discussed rather more candidly
than is usual In England certain social
conditions and problems. This offended
the editor Of the Spectator, which an
nounced that tho English Review would
not be mentioned thereafter In its pages
The Spectator declared that 1t did not set
up for a censor Of articles published in
the Review but taken together with GER
tain advertisements in the Review, the
Spectator regarded II as a part of de-
riiberate policy injurious. to the public
veal.
This determination raised tempest Of
protest, in which the Spectator as a con-
sentative organ was accused of an at
tempt to prosecute the Review, a radical
liberal organ. The Spectator rightly and
wisely opened It's own columns to the de-
bate, the most striking contribution to
which is protest signed by the follow
