We cannot agree with Professor Bur-

conception of the functions of the
Presidency was altogether sound. lie
engaged in a struggle with Congress to
defeat the practice of fastening gen.
eral legislation riders" on appropria-
ton acts, giving the President choice
between accepting legislation to when
he was opposed or seeing the salaries
of executive officers withheld. He won
this fight and deserved TO win It.
But he went too far in other ways IN
emphasizing the independence OF the
Executive. lie practically cut himsef
off from party leadership by Ignoring
most of the Republican chleftalns IN
Congress. By so doing he withheld the
aid of the Executives great influence
from the more liberal element in the
party which was willing to make the
/ fight in 1880 against the restoration OF
the Grant regime.
The burden of the struggle for free
dom and progress within the party had
to be borne by Mr. Blaine and those who
sympathized with him, without the
announcement from the White House
which such an effort merited. The lib
eral elements triumphed in the nomi-
nation of Garfield. But General Hayes
held himself too much aloof in crisis
which involved the perpetuation Or
,, downfall of the boss system in its then
highly aggravated form.
President Hayes mistook the trend
of our political development when he
isolated himself from his party in Con-
gress and thus renowned national lead
ership. 1t was this mistake, more than
anything else, which gave the public
that dubious opinion Of the value Of his
administration which still survives.

pose are to be found in the closing
chapter and in several appendices deal

and Russian empires. Of course, Mr..
Graham sees everything couleur de

GREAT WAR. By Various German Writers

TIE GERMAN REP BIC By walter wellman
l2mo. pp. 202 +. l.. button Co.
Mr. Whtelock deserves thanks for
this admirable translation of what is
incontestably the most important and
authoritative presentment of the Ger
man side, views and convictions of the
world war. 1t is the work of a score
of leaders of German thought and
men of standing in the conduct Of
the empires affairs. and to these are
added two eminent Austrians who
write of the internal state and for
eign policies of the Dual Monarchy.
The book was published early last
year, before Italy joined the Allies;
consequently the kingdom is dealt with
as neutral, except in footnotes. On
the other hand, the chapter on Ger
many's international economic position
has been brought down to date by the
translator under its authors supervis-
ion.
As a survey Of German achievement
and progress through more than forty
years Of peace, as German state
ment of the aims and aspirations
of German Kultur, of the German
idea" in the world, the book is worth
while. 1t is outspokenly pro-German,
of course, but is based on facts. IL is
in the attitude of its authors toward
international diplomatic questions,
toward the responsibility for the war,
that il leaves room for an opinion
Numerically opposed to the one 1t
expresses.
"The German Republic" is an
Americans vision of the end of the
war and the establishment of world
peace. He foresees an awakening of
the German people some time this
summer, an appeal for an armistlce,
the peaceful deposition of the Kaiser
and. of course, of all the other Ger
man rulers. and treaty of peace con-
cluded in a week. Under its provisions
Poland will become self-governing
state. Russia democracy with an
hereditary president; Greece, Ru-
mania and Bulgaria, republics. A
greater Serbia will be established.

EARLY SETTLERS
Manhattan's First Map and Its
BOuWeries.

Edward Van Wrinkle. the recording
secretary of the Holland Society, has
just published, through the Knicker-
booker Press, most valuable contribu-
tion TO the early history of New York.
Manhattan, 1624-l639," gives details
Of the settlers on the bouwcries. farms,
plantations and grants on Manhattan
and in the surrounding region during
that period, giving the location of each.
The work is based on Vingboom's
famous map Of Manatus of 1889 and on
recently discovered Van Rensselaer,
Ms. dated May, 1880.
The map begins furthest east on
Long Island, in the Achtervelt NOW
Flatbush), where Wolfert Gerritszen
van Couwenhoven and his partner, An
dries Huddle, were the first white set
tiers, their grants dating from June 10,
1880. Opposite Red Hoeck, which on
the map Is not a peninsula, but an
island, there were "pannebackery
(limekiln), three plantations and two
beginnings" Doris Jansen Rapalie
(Rapelje, Rapelye) was settled at the
Wallabout. Brooklyn. The earliest set
tiers in Williamsburg were Claes and
Dirck Norman.
"Twiller's farm in the He'll Gate"
was located on Wards Island. Maryen
Adriaensen was settled at Weehawken,
north of the Hoboken, Hasymus and
Communipaw farms, owned, respec-
lively, by Hendrix and Cornelis van
Worst and Jan Evertsen Bout. On
Paulus Hoeck were the holdings of YER
plank, Blauw and Cooper (Kuyper).
Egbert Wautersen (Watterson) owned
a plantation on Jan de Lacher's Hoeck
Laughing Johns Hook. Captain
David p. de Vrics was settled on what
is now New Brighton. Staten Island.
Very few of the early settlers prior
to 1888 are known. The Van Rens-
selaer Ms. considerably extends the list
of these early settlers. and contains
other new information of interest.
