Witches of Germany.


Freiburg- I'M Breisgau made it hot for
witches in the old days. No town in
Germany was more famous for detect

These incidents are said to have aver

of the Wiehre was especially notorious.
and the local executioner won bet
that there were more witches in this
village than could be packed into a
four horse wagon. Maria Theresa,
however put down witch burning, and

occurred in 1851. But OH the HANDEL,

Mr.. Pitt's concise little volume has
been written with d special purpose
that Of justifying ltaly's course in the
war He gives IN outline history OF
the country since the downfall OF Ma
poloon. and OF the creation OF its unity:
BY LAYING stress upon the long years OF
Austrian oppression under the Meter
Mich system, he creates that conviction
of the "unholiness" of ltaly's partner
shin in the Triple Alliance which is the
kingdoms defence of its progressive
change Of policy in the supreme hour.
His foundations thus laid, Mr.. PIT
proceeds TO give a full account OF
the development Of the Italian kingdom
since 1871, a chronicle Of wonderful
material progress under many hand,
caps. Italy was TOO much preoccupied
with her domestic affairs for many
years, and was. moreover, too weak, 70
pay much attention to her international
status. until Crispi became her Minister
of Foreign Affairs. This Sicilian
statesman, one Of Garibaldps Thousand,
still holds a doubtful place among the
great men of his period. The ultimate
Judgment upon his work will probably
be that he had no choice, that he was
forced into the alliance with Germany
and Austria II may be true that BIS
marck maneuvred France into Tunls,
that the threatened exclusion Of Italy
from all share in the control OF the
Mediterranean and of tho African lit
toral was part Of his lifework, the re-
suit remains that Crispi was confront
ed by a condition in which the Triple
Alliance became his only possible re-
course. How much we are 20 believe
of his memoirs is another question still
20 be settled. Certain il is that in
them he took good care TO secure his
own fame with posterity And it is
no less certain that during the dura-
tion of the alliance Italy had the Sc
curity she paid for, protection against

her ambitious military and naval pro-
grammes.

THE WAR AND THE
COST OF BOOKS
Government Measures and the
English Publishers.

The government scheme TO prohib
a large percentage of the imports into
this country of paper and paper-mak-
ing material, owing to their great bulk
and consequent influence on tonnage
brings the whole book trade, as well a
the newspaper world, face to face with
a crisis for which it is ill-prepared.
Already the war has ssddled the trade
with a heavy handicap in the shape OF
increased cost of production in ever
department-paper, printing, binding.
etc.-and shortage of labor all round.
Paper which publishers could buy at
21ad. a pound before the war now costs
from I'D. 10 412d., and what 1t vii.
reach If the worst comes 10 the worst
with Mr.. Runciman's' proposals it is
impossible to say. One papermaker
confidently predicts a paper famine
and with the price at Sd. a pound this
would affect the vital interests not
only of authors, publishers, and all the
manifold allied industries, but of the
general public as well.
At the best the government plan is
serious blow to publishers, who canno,
treat books like bread and sugar and
other foods for the body by raising the
purchase price and expecting the public
more or less cheerfully 20 pay the diff
ference. Up 10 point this might be
feasible, but beyond that point the pub
lie would revolt-and probably go 70
the theatre instead, at far greater cost.
The crisis Is more serious still where
educational books are concerned. y
will be a strange commentary on our
war against German Kultur if We adopt
as one of our weapons a prohibltiv
price on the educational apparatus o.
our own rising generation.
Unless the proposals be modified
many new books prepared for the
spring are likely to be postponed, even
by those publishers who ordered their
paper in time. The more expensive
books, however. with their comparative
ly restricted sales and larger margin
of profit on each copy, are not a pres
ent SO seriously affected as the cheap
and popular reprint, the infniteslmal
profit on each copy In this case being
profitable only BY means OF an i'm
mense circulation. Throughout the
trade the difficulty in regard TO paper
has been rapidly increasing during the
last few months. Publishers who be
fore the war could order all they were
likely to require for months ahead. and
have il stored for them AZ the paper
makers, drawing it and paying for It
as their needs arose, are now forced, in
that respect, to live from hand b
mouth. This week many papermaker'
are refusing publishers orders of every
description.
Trade terms have been revised to
meet the expanding cost Of production,
but the whole question of the price of
books will have TO be discussed again
when the full statement is published
of the precise methods to be applied
by the government for carrying out
their proposals. Meantime the Pub
fishers Association and Master Print
ers' Association are dealing with the
matter in order TO place their views o.
the subject al once before the president

The author Of this volume was for
several years a member of the house
hold Of the Archduke Charles Stephan
OF Uapsburg, who has been repeatedly
mentioned a. the Austrian candidate
for the throne of Po.and, in case the
kingdom is restored at the end Of the
war. The reader receives no clear i'm
preston Of mis- character and abilities
from the discreet author. He is amia-
BILE, has artistic tastes and gracious
manners; thus does this feminine OBJ
server sum him up. This is not a
strong equipment for an aspirant to
what will be the most difficult throne
IN Europe if it is ever reestabhshed.
Throughout the book is on this super
nciai basis, pretty, admiring and
coulcW de rose.
Il has been written with the ayowed
purpose OF disproying the many reports
of faint Of hereditary insanity In the
Hapsburg family. but the author fails
to present her qualifications for the
task. She admires the Emperor gives
somewhat arranged ana eXpurgated
account Of his life and reign. accepts
seriously as uncontrovertible fact the
claim Of the Countess Zanardi Landi
that she Is Elizabeth's daughter, and
wisely skirts the Meyerling tragedy
beyond stating what may be accepted
as fact. that Rudolf was murdered.
There are accounts of The Acnilleiou
and OF yachting trips in the AdiAtic, o j
Charles Stephan's Galician casle, and
Of visit 20 81. Petersburg. And,
while praising ali the Hapsburgs, the
author industriously abuses the Kaiser.
