Dutch historians usually deal briefly
with the declin, Of the Dutch republic
during the eighteenth century; it is
not period upon which patriotic Hol-
landers love to dwell, and with good
reason. But what followed was even
worse, the helpless shame of French
domination, invited at the beginning by
a section of the people who pinned
their faith to the device of the Revolu-
tion: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.
Especially the first and the last. For
the Hollander, like the Englishman,
has never really cared for equality.
He does not care for it to this day. How
ever, the Dutch Patri~ts drove out
their Stakeholder, abol shed the oil
garchy that had mismanaged their af
fairs for its own proft-publc office
was a family snap in eighteenth cen
tury Netherland- and undertook to
govern themselves with the philosoph-
ical belief of the time in the spontane-
Gus ability and incorruptble honesty
of the common people. They danced
around Liberty Poles, and called in
their French brethren TO help them.
The French brethren came with slac-
rity, and literally and frsternslly
helped themselves to the stored wealth
Of the Batayian Republic. They need,d
money to tight the allied monarchies of
-
took their new republic seriously, but
tn, First Consul soon put an end that
nonsense. When he bec..;c Emperor,
he made his brother Louis king, and
flooded the country with administra-
tors, especially tax collectors, and
spies; three years later he annexed
it TO his empire. Louis, like the Patr-
OTIS, had taken himself and his duties
seriously! Not even Prussia lay as
utterly crushed beneath the heel of
the Conqueror as did the Low Coun-
tries.
The revolt of the Netherlands in 1913
was not glorious as that of the Ger
man peoples. II was the desperate sf-
fair Of q handful of true patriots, who,
by only few hours, and by ruse.
succeeded in convincing the advance
guard of the Allies at Amsterdam that
they had reached. not the capital of a
French province. but of a nation which
had just liberated itself from the
yoke.
Mr.. Van Loon is already the author
OF an excellent history of the Decline
of the Dutch Republic" in the eigh-
teenth century, book that presents

Netherlands. the revival OF their trace
and industry and financial strength,
the re-establishment of their colonial
empire, the rebirth of their national
spirit, their struggle back 20 an
honored place among the cultural ma
tions of the modern world. Mr.. Van
Loon places the beginning OF this re
vival circa 1870. One is inclined 10
name the year 1888 instead, the year
of the literary revolt in the Neither

Some of the pages in this new book
acquire a curious timeliness at TINS
hour, those, for instance, dealing with
England's use and abuse of her naval
power during the Napoleonic wars. Mr..
Van Loon cites An ingenious dodge IN
vented by Dutch merchants in the
days when Holland was Napoleon's un-
willing ally:
Messrs. A. and B.. honorable
merchants OF Amsterdam, enter
into partnership. A. goes to Lon
don, and as an Engllshman enters
into business. B. stays at home.
A. equips a privateer. B. loads a
ship and gets as much insurance
as he possibly can. BIS ship leaves
the Dutch harbor and is captured
by AS privateer. 1t is taken to
England and ship and cargo are
publicly sold. A. gets the profits
of his buccaneering expedition. b.
collects the insurance. The part
ners have in this way made twice
the amount of the original invest
ment, minus the insignificant loss
Of the ship. At the end Of the
year the two merchants divide the
spoils, and both get rich, This
method had the disadvantage OF
being too easy. A deadly competi-
tion set in Finally the insurance
companies discovered the swindle
and refused 10 insure.

For "Who" read "Shonts," and sub
.titute a period for the interrogation
mark. The title thus changed would
ft the book as perfectly AS 1t does IN
its present form. II would, indeed,
be more to the purpose, for II would
more directly express the character
OF the book For despite the form
OF its title it is not at all interrogs-
tive, but purely and emphatically de-
clarative. 1t does not investigate; 1t
expounds, 6r cdthedrd. Il does not
seek to ascertain to whom should be
given chief credit for the construction
Of the Panama Canal. but plumply
sets out to demonstrate that Theodore
p. Shonts is the man. Historical works
thus devoted to the proof OF precon-
ceived notions are not always fortu-
nate or profitable. This one is perhaps
better than most such; but, as we shall
see, its logic is potentially destructive
Of its own conclusion.
The United States history OF the
canal enterprise is divided into three
parts. The first was the era of sur
vey and estimate. under the so-called
Army and Navy Commission, with
John F. Wallace as chief engineer.
The second was that of organization
and equipment, and also of sanitation,
under the railroad mems commission,
with Theodore p. Shonts and John r.
Stevens at tie head. The third was
that Of construction. under Colonel
Goethals's military regime. II is quite
obvious that all three were essential.
No one OF them would have been suff-
cient without he other two Judi
ciously. they seem entitled to be re
garded as coordinate. Certainly it
would be mistake TO try to belittle
the Importance Of any OF them. So,
too. 1t would be an error TO magnify
Mr.. Pepperman avoids, in general: or
at least he does not count it. The
latter he does seem to approximate.
His proposition, briefly stated, is
that Mr.. Shonts was the real builder
of the canal He got rid OF pestilence.
He organized &c system of admins
tration. He equipped the enterprise
with up-to-date appliances. He left
TO his successor merely the task Of
continuing what he had begun.
In that there is doubtless some truth,
though not so much, we think. as Mr..
Pepperman imsgines or would persuade
US. OF the paramount value of the
sanitation work under the second COM
mission there can be no question. But
that was really the work of Colonel
Gorgas. He had shown his knowledge
and his mettle long before, in Cuba,
and he would have done his work at
Panama before Mr.. Shonts ever set
foot upon the isthmus had he been
supplied with means. The manner in
which he was hampered by the lack OF
them and by red tape in that battle
for human life forms a strangely dis
creditable chapter. The service which
Mr.. Shonts then rendered was simply
that Of cutting the red tape and secur-
ing abundant pecuniary means. But

GoTerness l9mo. Dp 2'l. Tie Frederick a

This is most entertaining story.
It's author tells US that she is the
daughter of an English father and an
American mother; that she was en-
gagged in 1909 as English governess TO
the children of a German prince, and
that, while in hi. employ. she learned
many German secrets Of state and army
and navy whose significance she only
came to recognize early in 1914, when
she endesvored to communicate them TO
the British Ambassador at Berlin. with
the result that she was detained as a
spy. During her residence in the
princely palace and castles she met the
Kaiser, the Crown Prince, Bernhard,
Zeppelin, Dernburg. Delbrueck, Herr
and Frau Krupp Won Bohlen, Won Kluck
and many other German leaders. They
talked with her, and, what is more, she
overheard their talks together. Secrets
OF state, of foreign policy and military
preparation. according to her, were
banded about with the greatest indis-
creton in the exalted circles in which
she moved. she learned them even
from the lips of her own young charges,
who. it appears, wery allowed to be
present at the most serious converse
tons.
Is it any wonder then, that this gov
erness heard Of the marvellous new
Krupp guns several years ago; that she
saw in the Crown Princes pala e maps
of England and Northern France and
OF North and South America marked
with the flying radius of Zeppelins? ?
That she learned that "old Kluck" had
secretly gone to survey the terrain Of
his future march on Paris; that the
Crown Prince went to India "as a glori-
fed spy; that she 'rself received
