THE FALL OF A NATION. BY Thomas

etc. Illustrated, by Charles Wrenn.
New York: D. Appleton & Co.
The Fall of Nation" is a war story
that pictures the United States hu-
inflated in conflict by virtue of its
own long accommodating sins. The
writer uses the unreadiness of this
country for self-defense as a symptom
merely. The disease of which this is
the sign only is the mania of self
seeking materialism that is eating
away the democracy of the nation. Hav-
ing by prologue and predatory note

state capitals besides. important navy
yards and army posts. the mines and
munition factories concentrated within
this area. 1t is a theme much to the
liking of this writer and one to which
he gives all the sail that human en-
deavor along this line can carry. The

hitherto done appears to have quite
so complete concentration of the
Dixon qualities in it as this new novel
of his has.

This book represents an interesting
and profitable experiment. In Deem
Der of last year Clark University for
the time being constituted itself a pub
lie forum to which were invited certain
notable men for a general consideration
of the war question. The addresses
made at this convention are embodied
in this volume. G. Stanley Hall here
makes study of the psychology of the
war others discuss the question of
preparedness and the economic aspects
of the present war, in relation to the
end of the war. and the economic road
to permanent peace. Naturalized Amer
leans furnishes another topic, and pan
Americanism another. Stanton Colt of
London forecasts the effects of the war
upon Europe. and John A. Walz. pro-
fessor of the German language at Har-
ward University. analyses what a Ger
man victory would mean to the world.

A nations flag, which flies aboard
every ship, is signal in itself. 1t
sends the message of nationality. Every
commercial ship has the flag of its in
dividual company. and modern sailor
is supposed to recognize each flag when
he sees it in midocean or in port
The American Indians were masters
at the art of signaling. Especially
among the tribes of the west. who
made their homes on the great expanses
of prairie, was a systematic code care
fully worked out. In connection with
their hunting. when small bands recon-
noitered in different sections, trailing
and rounding UP big game. signals
were waved to acquaint the groups
with news of discovery. Where the
tribes were very large and lived in viii
lagos signals were used so that the
entire settlement could be alarmed for
defense at any impending danger. The
