GERMAN PROBLEMS

In world politics Germany is in the
embarrassing position Of the man who
must not look at halter. lille his
neighbors may steal horses, and even
main their rightful owners in the proc
ess of depriving them Of their property.
The attitude Of TIE nations OF Europe
toward the empire. which is also gen
orally that Of this country, is one OF
ever alert suspicion and unreasonable
dislike. That this attitude has been
Systematically nurturcd by the infucn-
tial press of another great European
power cannot be denied. Public opln-
ion has, indeed, been led to the point
where ii confidently expects that the
great war which has been predicted so
long. and which, the world feels, must
precede the first real progress toward
world peace, will be precipitated by the

peace for forty years. Germany, what
ever the right and wrong Of her claims
IN international negotiations, is invari-
ably represented as the firebrand, re-
lying on its brutal might, carrying on
the Bismarckan policy of blood and
iron in the accomplishment Of its ma
tional ends.
And yet, according to many publ
cists. chiefly English, the empire could
so easily eliminate all dangers from the
path Of world politics II only II would
follow their counsels Of perfection.
They are self-denying ordinances,
which demand. first OF all, the renunci-
alton Of all national ambitions founded

are considered legitimate. and even

To the lover Of nature. especially TO
the bird lover, this book will prove an
endless delight What is more, il may
we'll serve to convert to its sport, which
is rather a cult, many a reader TO
whom the intimate companionship of
nature has hitherto been an unknown
pleasure. Mr.. DugmOre, who needs no
introduction. loves his little "sitters'
for their p rtraits at home, and sue
ceeds in conveying to others his affec-
ton and the abundance of causes
thereof. He is deeply interested in the
individuality Of our fcathercd little
brethren. It varies as greatly, he
says. as that of human beings. Some
learned to trust him soon and fully;
others never relaxed their suspicion
and vigilance. Occasionally he would
discover an individual Of exceptional
| intelligence which returned his OBJ
! servation Of il with study so close

| ferent color Of a scarf, for instance
Immediately received inspection from
its bright, beady eyes.
| AS for lodgings, they, like children,
are sometimes full of original sin. In
every brood Mr.. Dugmore has found at
least one youngster that refused to
/ pose, and deliberately fell off its perch,
carrying at least one of its brothers or
sisters with it in its fall, in cases of
even greater perversity. When he
leaves the gentle company Of warblers,
vireos and chickadees for larger wild
/ birds, the author expresses his convic-
| ton that wild geese know more than
most people. They can see better than
any hawk. hear better than the most
timid deer, have patience compared
with which Jobs was nothing and a
system Of communication more won
derful than wireless telegraphy.
/ The porcupine is an Unexpectedly in
/ teresting animal to those who have
had the opportunity to study its ways.
Mr.. Dugmore is of their number He
tells, also, an amusing story of two
| 'possums that played 'possum,' and
got away. He spent six seasons in
/ Newfoundland in order TO photograph
| the migration of the caribou before
the stays had shed their antlers, and he
has hunted fish in the Sierras, on the
Pacific Coast and in New Brunswick.
There are notes on the nesting and
breeding Of birds, on animal tracks in
the snow, on the trapper's life, and on
animal photography and camping in all
seasons. The illustrations double the
interest Of the text.

Believing that the work accomplished

is both by its thoroughness and the
magnitude of its production one Of the

Professor Deissmann feels that far too

exposition.
The technical discipline known as
Paulinism, with its doctrinaire pro-
clivities and its obscuring Of the hu-

the unfortunate consequence of lead
