the centenary of the imperial debacle.
for il concerns occurrences of just a

The whole those three months in 1911

been content with that he might have
retained it: though that is not sure.
But he was not content with it, and
therefore he found himself ATTACKED in
his own realm. For the first time the
aggressor was on the defensive, the
condueror was at bay. His army was
improvised and far inferior TO that
with which he had conquered the Con-

Most serious Of all, the people of
France were tired Of war; and since he
meant war, they were tired Of him.
The nearest parallel which history af-

Napoleon's failure lies.

THE RAGGED-TROUSERED PIllLANN,-
THROPISTS. BY Robert lrSSs sSIlo
limo, PIP. $50 FREDERICK a. 0'oNoa
Company.
The curious story Of this novel is al
ready sufficiently we'll known. It's au-
thor was an English house painter a
Socialist. Upon his death the manu-
script passed into the hands Of MS
daughter. a housemaid, who hesitating =
" asked her employer to read it. Miss
Jessie Pope was called into consulta-
ton. and she, expecting to be neither
interested nor amused" found that she
had CHANGED upon human docu e
mont" She set to work with enthu-
siosm TO reduce the story, which
abcunded in extraneous matter and
repetitious, to the proportions OF a
book. but beyond that, she assures us,
she has changed nothing in the text.
What is here is the work of Robert
Tressan as he wrote it.
1t is, indeed, a human document
which this English house painter left
behind him, human document in the
mass. presenting with unwavering real
ism the British workingman as he was
some forty years ago, when he was
his own worst enemy, the ignorant OPP
ponent of those who would better his
condition, the derider and violent per
secutor of agitators for his material
advancement, the sycophant OF his
masters, not daring to call his soul ms
own, the ragged-trousered backbone
of conservatism.
The bitterness Of the early struggle
of the rcformers Of the status OF Eu-
ropcan labor, not against the repreS-
sion Of the employers. but against the
almost invincible ignorance and sulleh
hostility Of labor itself, is chapter OF
history which rarely has been presented

TO ascertain precisely what that con-
stitution is and what it provides.
Ecuador is one of the smaller and
less important South American states
but it is by no means the least inter
csting. Indeed. its history and its nat
ural aspects invest it with more than
ordinary degree Of interest. while the
very fact that it is stifl so largely un-
developed heightens that degree. The

made this bit OF bygone New

Though the scene is New York
it is a New York new and full OF

Amazing" is indeed a good word to
apply to Argentina, as Mr.. Fraser's en-
tertaining and instructive volume
makes clear. 1t has long been a com
monplace to speak of that country as
the United States Of South America,
but probably not many realize how APP
propriatc, i'm two or three separate
respects, it is to do so, In latitude.
and therefore in climate and potential
products, Argentina closely corresponds
with this country; and II might he said
o. do so in the lay of the land" But
there are other respects still more
worthy Of attention. one Of these is
the marvellous growth Of the country
i'm material wealth and splcudor, emu
lating our own most cntcrprising
blooms" both I'm the rapidity OF de-
velopmcut and in the substantial char
actcr of the growth. II is impressive
to remember that Buenos Ayres is the
largest city in tho world south OF the
Equator, and is surpassed in size by
not moro than three and perhaps only
two in the Western Hemisphere; while
i'm splondor Of planning and building it
vies with tho finest capitals in any
continent
More significant still is it that like
the United states. Argentina gathers
necessarily unto herself inuumcrable
hosts Of aliens from many lands and
races. and assimilates them all and
makes them Argentinians. In no other
SOQlH american NOuHNiy - ll'N wen ~
Brazil or Chilli, is that process so
marked or so triumphant. Descendants
Of old Spanish solonists and Italian
immigrants Of only a years standing
alike resent the imputation OF being of
European origin, or OF being Latin
Americans. They are Argentinians just
as emphatically and distinctively as We
are Americans That is significant. we
repeat, not alone for its denotement
Of the genius Of the people but also
for the conclusive answer which it
gives to the superficial forebodings
about the INFLAMMATION" or German
ization" or European conquest" OF the
country.
Iu~one other respect Mr. Fraser sug-
gests a close parallel between the two
countries: TO wit, jealousy OF national
Independence and dignity. This ad-
mirable trait Is. he warns us. so far
developed in Argentina as To involve a
certain distrust Of the United States
and an antagonism toward IT, because
OF the supposedly patronizlng attitude
of this country. We hope that these
feelings are not so strong as Mr. Fra
ser seems to think, but II they are we

our own fault. or tho fault Of those
who have lately been SO egrcgiouslN
muddliug and mismanaging our reia-
tons with the countries to the south
Of us. There was no such feeling mani
fest a few years ago. when Mr. Root
made his notable tour Of the South
American continent. and there Would
he none now if the present adminlstra-
ton had been as solictOus for South
American scnsitilities and dignitieS as
it was for European approval OF us
policy toward some Of those states
Mr.. Fraser's observations on this sub
jet are brief, but very much to the
point. and they should be profitable as
a pendant to his brilliant penetrating
and convincing survey Of a country OF
amazing achievements and amazing
possibilities of further achievement
Books on Mexico are becoming almost
as plenty as blackbcrres, but some ot
them are well worth while, and would
be even if the affairs OF that country
were not i'm so domestically critical and
internationally embarrassing condi-
ton. Mr.. MacIIugh's volume is OF TINS
class. 1t has been hurriedly prepared,
apparently with scissors and paste pot
from his newspaper writings, for he is
an English journalist who was trav-
cling in and writing from Mexico last
year, but discretion has waited on eX-
petition, and the authors judgment IS
indicated in the realization OF some OF
the most important forecasts which he
made only few months ago.
Mr. MacHugh is frankly hostile to
the policy of President Wilson and Mr..
Bryan toward Mexico, which is his
right. Some of his structures may be
resented as unwarrantably severe. yet
others will he conceded to be justi-
fable. or would he if it were not for
the patriotic feeling that. even if the
administration has blundered, it must
he sustained and the best be made Of
the situation into which it has got

Americans do not understand Mexicans
we might pertinently reply by asking
how well he can be supposed TO know
them from only a few months contact
and observation. Yet his estimate Of
them must be recognized as highly in
telligent and discreet. II is agreeable
to find him thoroughly discrediting the
notion that there is a strong move
ment in the northern states Of Mexico
toward secession.from that country and
annexation to the United States. We
have never been able to discover the
existence OF such a sentiment outside
of a few sordldy interested quarters
