The part played by the Dutch Repup-
lie in our War of Independence loses
in Mr.. van Looms version, much OF the
glamour impaired to II by American
historians. The attitude of the country
in the conflict was still another III
stance of its now habitual policy OF at
tempting to carry water on both shoul-
ders, to follow a non-committal course
between France and England, while
conducting a most profitable trade in
contraband of war with the revolten
colonies. Its headquarters was ST
Fustatius. in the West Indies, where,
as is well known, the Dutch were the
first TO salute the American flag. AS
matter of fact, observes Mr.. van Loon
drily. the governor of the island was
the chief smuggler Of them ALL and the
salute he fired was not a spontaneous

in illicit business to his best customer.
The story of the fall Of the Dutch
Republic is a sorry one at best, neg
ugible page OF history in its larger
sense. 1t is, as the author truly op-
serves in his introduction. page prac-
ticaIly unknown to us. Wherefore he
deserves thanks for having turned the
page into an excellent book, which,
deftly links the Republic in its deca-
dence TO the days of glory that pre-
ceded il. Mr.. van Loon might perhaps
have restrained his sense of humor
little when dealing with certain as
poets of our Revolution, and have re-
stricted it for the part his own coun-
try played in the event; but that is,
perhaps captious criticism His Illus
trations, from old prints, are worth

Properly speaking, the Dutch repuD-

The protracted struggle for the preser-
walton of the balance of power in Eu-
rope waged against France by William

exhausted. Only the shell Of their for

the Union had warred and made peace
and concluded alliances on terms Of
equality, but its repeated failures,
through impotence TO keep its contracts
when called upon for men and ships
soon robbed it even Of the semblance.
The country so mighty in the councils
Of the world during the seventeenth
century, so prompt and energetic and
successful in war and peace, became in
the eighteenth century a nation ready

forebears. The individual Hollander If
