The Fall of Czarism

THE RUSSIAN REYOLJ TION. rs I.sac Don
Ioyne. With Portraits. l2mo. pp. iv 2so. Har-
Icr * Bros.
What we may term for lack of a bet
ter phrase the Russian problem Is as
big and as complex as the Russian En-
pire itself, and as little comprehended
by the world at large. Men think OF
Russia as a homogeneous whole, when,
in fact. il is one Of the most heteroge-
neous and conglomerate empires IN the
world. They think, too, OF its policy, at
any rate in foreign affairs, as single,
consistent and persistent. moving with
something of the inexorable and ire
sistible flow of glacier; which is as
great an error as the other.
Mr.. Levine. in this timely volume,
makes instructively clear the alignment
of Russian parties and the antagonlsm
between their policies before and at tho
beginning Of the war, and shows IN
lucid and convincing manner how the
war, started and waged largely to con-
firm and TO extend autocracy, made
straight for the downfall of autocracy,
at least In Russia. Just before the war
Prussian influence was dominant IN
Russia and democracy was at low
ebb. When the war broke Russian au-
tocracy, or bureaucracy, and democracy
threw themselves into IL with equal
zeal Soon the former saw that It was
fighting against itself. The majority
patriotically accepted the situation and
fought for victory which would mean
death TO the old regime. minority
turned traitor and intrigued for Ger
man success, and, though the Car HIM
self was innocent of such treason, he
had 70 suffer the penalty.
With the outbreak of the war there
came a tremendous revival of Russian
democracy. and at first it fought loyal
ly by the side of the autocracy. But
that was not because of desire to sus-,
tain the latter. Rather was 1t TO rid
the land of Prussan influences and 70
promote democracy. Even the social :
lists and semi-anarchists whole-hearted-
ly supported the Car and the war.
That was because they saw that the
defeat OF Germany would mean the
triumph of democracy and would
mean the economic enfranchisemen OF
Russia from German despotism. These
and other interesting and too little
considered phases OF Russian policy.

FANNY. and Some Others

THE DERELICr. By PHYLLIS Bo,tome Iillsir's
ed l2mo. pp. 5si Tic Century COMPANY.
Fanny is the real heroine of the
story which gives the volume It's name
and which fills nearly half Of its pages.
She is a girl who has greatly sinned'
and who at the end returns TO a Ire
of sin. She does the latter against her
own inclination, as a supreme sacri-
fee TO save from the possible danger
OF her presence the betrothed couple
who have been kind TO her and have
lifted her for space into the pure ar
of a decent life; and also; though IN
less degree, to save herself the pam
of daily contact with the man for whom
She cares but for whom she has no
right to care. Moral derelict though
She is, she commands immeeasuraoly
more sympathy and even admiration
than the snug and selfish paragon OF
virtue for whom she sacrifices herself
Even so, the sacrifice is in vain, be-
cause Emily is too blindly selfish to ap--
nreciate it. It will serve Emily right
TO be unhappy.

How to Know the Birds

THT WAY TO STUDY BIRDS By John Dyd.n
kuser. Illustrated. l6mo. -. Al. S. &. +.
Putnam's Sons.
1t is a strange thing-to paraphrase
Ruskin-how little in general people
know about the birds. In the suburbs
of New York there are more than a
hundred different kinds. and yet the
average person who "just loves birds"
can probably name and identify not
more than half dozen. Mr.. Kuser,
who is we'll known as an enthusiast, an
expert, and a practical benefactor, in
nature study and the preservation Of
wild life, has given in this pretty little
volume some simple and practical in
structions as to how TO study birds and
how to encourage their habitations'
adding a most ingenious key TO the
varieties. after the fashion OF the
analytical key to the genera in field
book OF botany. The colored plates are
of unequal merit. but some of them are
perfect gems. You can almost hear

The Balkans as They Are

THE HEART OF THE BALKANS, By p.nstra
Naka Mrs. Kenneth -Brownl. limo. ID. 2H.
The Houghton Mfiin Company.
The title of this interesting volume
is doubly fitting. The author tells Of
personal journeys and observations in
the very geographical hearts Of the
Balkan States-Albania, Montenegro,
Serbia. Bulgaria, Greece. She also re
veals to Us the psychological hearts of
those peoples and their attitude and
feeling toward the great war. She has a
keen insight into Balkan political and
economic conditions and an exceptional
measure of appreciation of and sym
pathy with the people. With these
qualifications she has written a book
which gives us a most vivid and life
like view of country, men and affairs
in that historic corner of the world
which has perhaps more than any
other been the battlefield of nations, Of
continents and of civilizations.
