Americas Part in Peace

Those who have read Norman Angels
Great Illusion" and "Armes and Indus
try will probably find good deal of old
material in America and the New World
State" Putnam, New York;. at least
they will recognize Mr.. Angells method
Of thought and see one Of his greatest
defects-his habit OF redundancy. Those
who have already criticised him for his
theoretical turn OF mind will be able to
do so again. But he who appreciates
Mr. Angel's new economy will find the
usual originality and keenness of thought
and analysis. and will be thorouEhiy in
terested in his contributions to the prob
lem that is confronting America as a
probable mediator in the great European
struggle.
We can readily imagine the impatience
with which our militarlstic leaders greet
the theories which Mr.. Angel puts for
ward: That nations have not tried to
reach n better understanding of national
relations, but that they seek better arms,
mot machinery for the settlement of diff
flcultles with other nations, but machin-
cry for their destruction" And even
many quiet people who cling SO des-.
perately to the idea of nonintervention
cannot see, until Mr. Angel presents his
case, that the part of the United States
could play in settling disputes can be
anti-military in character.
World-organzation and constructive
leadership are Mr.. Angell's plans for
Americas legitimate intervention. Lack
of traditions, great material resources
and a gift for improvised organiza ton are
ample reasons for her to undertake the
task. And the fact that America is young
will give the old European Powers little
reason to suspect her Of unfairness and
jealousy.

is Just the sort OF 'Indiscreet, ill-advised
book" that every author ought to be
compelled to write just once in his life.
How else are we to learn that Henry
James Is "a leviathan retrieving peb-
bles"? No critic, even in the protection
of anonymity. would ever furnish this
formula for James system of selective
composition: Having first made sure
that he had scarcely anything to express,
he then sets to work to express It, with
an industry, q wealth OF intellectual stun
that dwarfs Newton" More, no Ameri-
can critic would have the audacity to
compare Mary Austin with Mrs. Ward
by saying, IT'S like turning from the
feet of a goddess to pair of goloshes."
And no American, critic or noncritic,
would venture to describe Columbia as
the Aunt Errant of Christindom,
That is the sort of thing which wanders
riotously through Boon" and its itin-
erary is Just as riotous. The whole af-
fair is supposed to be the literary re-
mains of a world-popular author named
Boon, pieced together by conversations
with the great man when he wasn't die
tating best sellers to the censorious back
of his secretary. Sometimes 1t is scrappy
little notes like: ARNOLD Bennett as an
abortive Great Man. Would have made

of the British authors at the conference
on the Mind of the Race. Sometimes 1t
Is impassoned rhetoric, such as It de-
scrlbes the power of that Mind This
wonder that we celebrate, this divinity, is

Asses of the Devil than he finds himself
embarked on a hunt for German militar-
lists and their English counterparts who
are "mewing for blood" and praying for
the CLOSEST sllliest. loudest imitation
of Prussian swagger" on England's part.
And to cap 1t comes n little masterpiece
of irony, THE Last Trump

guise of thoughtfulness. is not the finest

cribbed, broken but loved. in this mud
died world of counting-house glories.
