This Is a sketch OF the relations be.
tween the United States and Greal
Britain during the century which has
elapsed since the war Of 1912. 1t Is writ
fcn IN the familiar style OF Mr. Lodge
with a good many side references which
nre not quite justified by the facts and
nv history, His reference to the slavery
question being the Indictment TO Volun-
teerinc in the Union Army. is aside from
The feeling which innpelled those. enlist
ments. The enlistments were because
there was a challenge TO fight ana pc
cause the flag OF the Nation mad peen

There can be no doubt but that the cele-
bration OF lone Hundred Years OF
Peace" between the United States and
Great Britain is both sentimentally ana
humanely the Just cause OF great re!olc-
ing and good feeling. The book is fully
worthy TO introduce the celebra tion
which Is TO be had the last year OF the
completion OF One Hundred Years OF
Peace between the two nations. 1t is
fairly said that "the significance OF this
fact ia brought out by Senator Lodge
IN this brilliant sketch OF the relations
between Great Britain and the United

book we'll calculated to be the precursor
10 the great celebration OF next year. and
to lead ub ntly TO that celebration. The
illustrations arc appropriate to the theme,
and the work as whole Is In senator
