attention as the revelations of former AM

the war began. lie tells what he saw of
the German preparations for war early In
June before the Austrian Crown Prince had
been assassnated. and he makes an in
tensely interesting story Of 1t. Other
articles bearing more or less directly on
the war in the magazine are on the con-
struction Of American warships, on the
training camps for the soldiers, on the
English in France and Flanders and on the
railroads and the work they must do Theo-

Air" is continued. There are several short
stories and other poems.
Many readers Of the September Century
will turn first to Count Tolstoy's illuminat-
ing article on The Evolution Of Liberty in
Russia" for II contains much that those
who are trying to understand the situation
In that country wish to know. Other serious
articles deal with questions connected with
the war, such as discussion of the food
problem. by J. Russell Smith a record of
the relations between the American and
British fighting forces In China, by General

second installment of Phyllis Bottome's s
serial, THE Second Violin" which those
familiar with Miss Bottomes previous
stories are reading with interest. There is
colored frontispiece from a painting of
the Municipal Building in New York by
William Jean Beauey, which proves once
more that American cities are fast becom-

world.
