The Book for Your Son to Read.
BY Jan van velthus.

American boys get nine-tenths Of
their information directly or indi-
rectly from English sources-that is
why SO many of them fall a ready
prey to any cock-and-bull story got
up by the British about themselves
or their enemies whenever they wish
to make the people Of the United
States an innocent instrument Of their
selfish schemes.
American boys and girls are not to
be blamed for this, for their elders,
eve those who know better, have
shamefully and alphabetically neg
lected to give them the means of
obtaining correct notions.
Now here comes just the right sort
of a book to give to your son, brother,
nephew or young friend who is at
high school or college studying Eng
fish or modern European history
and needs an antidote the worst way,
against the subtle poison Of an ex-
clusively British point of view in text
book and instructor. It is not a book
belonging to German propaganda
literature; it was not written for
American readers at all, but for the
folks in Germany, who wanted an
authoritative and popular account Of
the character and habits Of their most
embittered enemy. An American
publisher, however, had the book
translated into English, and it may
be had through any bookseller at the
modest price of SLIPS.
The author of this useful little work
is no less a person than Prof. Edward
Meyer, the successor Of Theodore
Mommsen at the University of Ber-
lin. To those not familiar with the
workers in historical fields at the
present day it may be said that Ed.
ward Meyer is the most distinguished
man alive to-day among historians.
That would have been admitted with
out hesitation by any person compe-
tent to judge as late as one day be-
fore the outbreak Of the present war:
no doubt, a certain percentage of
American college and high school IN
structors in history will to-day tell
their inquiring students that he is a
very mediocre person and nothing he
ever wrote is worth reading. On the
day after peace these gentlemen
will recover their moral courage and
become enthusiastic about the great
ness of Edward Meyer.
From this book the American stu
dent may learn the following lessons,
which are badly needed:
1. That England has not been, as
most Americans fondly believe, the
protagonist of humanity and civiliza-
ton, comforting untold blessings upon
the fortunate countries that have
fallen under her dominion. Instead
of that, it is shown how England,
beginning about the time of Oliver

Cromwell, has with admirable skill.
foresight and persistence, but also
with incredible cruelty, un~scrupulous-
ness and treachery, and for no pur-
pose except the personal advantage
Of its ruling classes, built up a mighty
empire which, by the present war,
it attempts to turn into the practical
dominion of the whole world.
@. That the political ideas on which
English government is built are far
from representing the highest point
yet reached by politicsl thought and
practice, but rather have proven ut
terly incapable of guaranteeing to the
masses of the English people that
reasonable amount of prosperity, edu-
cation and security Of existence
which modern ideals demand. The
British form of government has, how
ever, been an excellent instrument in
the hands Of the ruling classes for
achieving their own selfish
3. That Of all the nations Of Europe,
Great Britain is that in which there
is the sharpest division into classes.
While on the one hand there is an
aristocracy living in a princely luxury
unknown in any other country, a
large part of the poor live in a state
of hopeless, ragged, hungry s~qualor
which is a terrible shock to every
visitor from abroad, and especially
those from Germany, where a supe-
rior form of government has achieved
for the masses a greater degree OF
prosperity, education, security and
effective freedom than in any other
European country.
One of the chapters in the book
that is especially well done is that
on Ireland. In fact, there is probably
mo better short Of the rela-
ton between England and Ireland to
be found anywhere. Its very calm
ness and obviously fair statements
make it impressive.
Prof. Meyers special field, in which
he has achieved worldwide fame, is
that Of ancient history. He has, how
ever, been interested in English af-
fairs since youth. AS a young mar
he acted as tutor of the children OF
an English diplomat stationed at Con-
stantinople. The following story
throws a significant light on the real
conditions of English civilization.
One day he mentioned TO his m
ployer, who seems to have had fewer
hide-bound prejudices than most edu-
Gated Englishmen, that he was about
to read John Stuart Mills essay on
Liberty" The diplomat smiled and
said: "You will not find it worth your
while. What Mills there advocates
for England, you in Germany have
had for over a hundred years."
The title of this excellent little book
is England" The translation is by
Miss Helen White, who also is one
of the translators of Sybel's Found
ing Of the German Empire" and has
done her work somewhat better than
most translating we meet with. The
publishers are Ritter & Co. of Boston.

Professor Also Predicts
Germany's Triumph
In World War

Mayor Marx will again preside
over the destinies of Detroit. a.
mayor. according TO Prot. lyman
E. Stowe. of No. ISL Catherine-st.
the local astrologer.
Marx will have a walkaway. and
Connolly won't have look-in.
That Is the forecast of Detroit's
well-known student OF the, planets.
The stars have said It.
Prof. Stowe. whose skill as q hor-
oscopist has been attested many
times, makes his prediction a. to
the result OF the mayoralty cam
paign from a study of planetary con-
ditions that surround the dates OF
birth OF the two candidates.
Oscar B. Marx was born June IA.
1866. He recently ccle brated q half
century run.
I'll wager that Mayor Marx will
admit that the worst period Of his
life was between the ages Of SO and
49," said Prof. Stowe. AT the age
Of 81 or 3S he had nothing but
trouble, trouble. trouble. Then at
SO or 40, the turning point came for
him. and things began TO look
bright. He Is very lucky man.
however, or he would have had the
devils own time the past year. AT
the present time he never had 30
many friends In his life. The cleo
ton will be a walkaway for him"
William F. Connolly. the Demo
cratic candidate for mayor, was born
Feb 20. 1875. II elected, he would
be real boy mayor"
According to Prof. Stowe, who ad
mits he Is. II anything, Republican
In politics. but who disclalmed
knowledge OF the political Affiliations
OF either candidate, Connolly won't
have chance In the world"
From 40 to Al years OF age will
be a year Of changes for him. and !
would advice him to hold on to a
good job II he has 1t. He would bet
ter be careful about seeking new
job and keeping string attached
TO an old one. The string might
break. don't want to say anything
that might discourage Connolly and
his friends, but that is the way the
situation looks to me. In making
these calculations. however, l should
have the exact hour OF their births"
The professor predicts the re-elec-
ton Of President Wilson. He says
there are liable to be more exciting
times over the next national cleo
ton than characterized the Tilden-
Hayes campaign. The stars even
hint at dark conspiracy and fell
deeds.

cording TO his calculations. the pres
