turned his auto homeward. His wife and
child were in 1t, and they seemed pre-

1t was too bad to have ones hopes thus
crushed. These miserable old tires play
havoc with many a bright anticipation.
In fact it is hard to imagine an antici-
ration that can be SO cruelty mangled
as that which hears the crack Of a
treacherous tire.

when the spring will be transferred from

great nation. AS whole, the study
serves the general purpose of ampli-
flying the fact that a new standard for
the appraisal of nations is being de-
into existence for the guidance of in
dividuals and social groups as well.
AS in the past, this new standard takes
distinct account of both national CO.
herence and national empire But 1t is
no longer the unity Of compulsion, the
empire Of force. Drawing competently
and strikingly upon the successes of
history and upon its failures, besides,
to point and sustain his contention for
the new day, this writer maintains that
racy must stand as the foundation of
national greatness, since here alone
lies the possibility of equal justice and
far-reaching opportunity. And to this
democratic ideal the great nation of
the present adds the new patriotism
that true love of country which, like
the true love of the individual, ex-
presses itself in a passionate ardor
for the genuine well-being of the be-
loved, casting behind it that false pa
triotism that lusts for war and con-
quest. for unbrotherliness and inhu-
manity. BY virtue of these inherent
excellencies. nation becomes leader.

United States toward greatness. This
able and convincing peace propaganda,
in company with the others of its class,
is just now suffering eclipse from the
gigantic and monstrous war of Europe.
Circumstances alone give this class of
writing a wry, ironic turn. Yet there
never was time when the arguments
for peace should come in greater num-
bers or with greater force than at this
juncture. This authoritative study
ought to be more appealing now than
it has ever been. or ever again can be.
