THE ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLES Ths,r
Future Relations and JOINT oolsAuy&s NJ
George Louis Beer. l-mo. pp. 81. Inc "'~
milan Company.
We have, and long have had, Pan
Americanism; which is a good thlng
despite the folly with which we nearly
made it abortive and despite the large
ly artificial character which II has
therefore possessed. We have heard
much of Pan-Slavism. and have at
times given 20 II no little sympathy.
We have also heard much-too much
FOR humanity's welfare-of Painter
manism; of which no more needs 20
be said beyond the mention OF IT'S
name. Professor Beer, in this earnest
and luminous volume, raises the ques-
ton whether it is not about time for
US TO think little about what we
might, for lack Of an obviously better
term, call Pan-Anglo -SaXonism, and he
suggests and supports an affirmative
answer with a convincing wealth OF
citations OF precedcnts and arguments.
That does not mean, Of course, a
restoration OF the United States TO the
sovereignty Of the British Crown, as
has been charged by some who impu-
dently take others to be as great
asses as they are themselves. II means
q recognition of the concrete and ir-
REPUTABLE facts that the United States
is predominantly an Anglo-SaXon coun-
try and that the United States, the
United Kingdom, the two Dominions OF
Canada and New Zealand, the Common
wealth Of Australia and the Union Of
South Africa are kindred nations with
substantial unity of origin, of genius,
of purpose and Of destiny. The natural
corollary is that the common welfare
of them all, and. therefore. as wo must
believe. the welfare of the humanity
and civilization which find in them
their highest exposition, would be pro
NOTED by coordination Of forces and
a correlation Of efforts and purposes
among these powers.
How silly or how insincere is the
affected apprehension that such CO.
operation with our kinsmen would i'm
peril American independence is shrewd-
ly pointed out in the reminder of the
relationship between the British Over
seas Dominions and the United King
dom. BENJAMIN Disraeli once prophe-
sled that the first great war in which
England was involved would cause the
later date John Morley declared that
imagination could not conceive the pos
siblity of such a thing as Australians
participating in some future war "for
the defence of Belgian neutrality"
The remorseless hand Of history writes
the answer in one word, "Anzac." Yet
Australia and the rest are far more
Independent OF the United Kingdom to-
day than they were when those mis-
taken prophecies were uttered. OF
course, those who think that the Eng
lish-speaking race has no rights which
Kutur is bound TO respect will dis
sent from Professor Beers whole argu-
ment, major premise, minor premise
and conclusion. But rational folk.
who, after all, are the. majority. will
see in his book, with its vast array
Of authorities cited, much food for
careful thought and the most careful
consideration.

tory in Europe would not be dimin-
ished. When asked whether she would
guarantee French colonial territory she
replied:
"No, we do not propose TO guaran-
tee French colonies"
Even a child could see what this
meant. Il meant that Germany, VIC
torious, could impose what indemnity
she liked and what terms OF commercial
treaties she liked.
Berlin's Motives Exposed
a give you this half-forgotten cpl
sode in diplomatic history said MI
Balfour, mot for the purpose OF as
cussing the line Of action Great Britain
took, but in order to show by docu-
mentary evidence that before shot
was fred and before German soldier
crossed the frontier, Germany had actu-
ally every motive TO hide her actions
and was anxious and prepared to give
everything TO keep US out, deliberately
intending not merely to make France
subservient in Europe, but to add TO
her Empire"
Now. he added, Germany's demands
are more modest, and now nothing is
talked Of openly but German self-de-
fence.

statesmen as President Wilson.
"They are as far removed from PIN
ming their faith in unmeaning formulas
es from the idea of putting one nation
under III, domination of another. They
cherish the same great ideals as we
which are our very own"
Mr. Balfour paid tribute to the
memory of the late Joseph II. Choate
Of New York, who, he said, was taken
away at moment when new and
happy spirit brooded over our common
destinies."

1t begins with an afternoon in June
and ends with a night in November
According TO the calendar, therefore
it is named with sufficient accuracy;
especially since the important action
occurs in the earlier part OF the IN
cluded period. But not otherwise IS
it a tale of summer. The sunshine
the blit.auess and the Joy OF summer
are not there. There is youth, but II
is shadowed by sordid recollections
and impending ruin. There is pleas
ure-making, but it is furtive and NOR
bid. There is the passion OF life, but
it is perverted. There is fructitication,
but the fruit is more bitter than that
Of the Dead Sea.
There are numerous characters IN
the drama, though only three are con-
spicuous and significant, but OF them
all not one-save perhaps the slightly
sketched minister appeals 10 human
interest. We must pity Charity, no
doubt and sympathiZe with her az

siveness; and impresses US with the
conviction that he will begin beating
her within a month OF their hldeous
union.
Now. this is not to impeach in the
slightest degree the exquisite literary
workmanship of tho book. With the
execution of few solecisms which
might be counted upon the fingers OF
one hand, it is a masterpiece or ac-
curate, graceful and fascinating com

Why We Are at War

Az nICA ANr THE GREAT WAR FOR HUMAN
ITi AND FREEDOM. By Willis Fleicl.'r John
sDn. l. u d. illustrated. $50. pp. iiS. The
John G. Winston Company.
In his latest volume, prepared and
issued at psychological moment,
DR.. Johnson continues his lsbors as a
specialist in American history. His
present theme is the entry Of America
into the war between civilization and
"Kultur." the causes which led to that
entry, and tho circumstances in which
it was effected. A sufficient outline OF
the entire war and of the history and
rolicies Of the chief bollgerents is
given 20 afford a satisfactory historical
background and setting for the more
essential portion Of his work, and there
is added a careful review of relations
between America and Germany for
years before the war and during that
portion of the struggle which preceded
our severance Of diplomatic relations
with that country. Suggestive and
profitable chapters arc devoted 70 our
dcplorable lack Of preparedness, 70 the
magnitude Of our potential resources.
70 the organization of the various
branches Of our military services, and
20 the manner in which the war is be-
ing waged on the surface Of the earth,
underground, on the sea, under the sea,
and in the air.
The volume vindicates with impas-
stoned earnestness the Righteousness IS
and moral necessity of our participa-
tion in the war; of our returning to the
true traditional and democratic policy
of universal military service, and Of
our reputation OF so-called "policy
of isolation" which, in fact. never ox-
listed and never was contemplated by
the founders Of the republic. Statistics,
citations of authorities and quotations
from Official documents are numerous,
and there is a profusion of illustra-
tons, portraits. maps and diagrams,

MINIMUM PRICES.

If we were in Congress we should be
silly enough to propose leaving minimum
prices out of consideration, and putting a
justly fair and equitable maximum price
on food supplies, coal, and war supplies.
Perhaps such action would not correct
existing abuses, but trying it out during
the last three months would have been
better than doing nothing, and perhaps
worse than nothing
The Senate food bill proposes a mini
mum price on wheat of two dollars a
bushel. This bill, if enacted, will make
a barrel of flour cost SIS. No mention of
maximum price is made in the BILL thus
giving spectators, whether on the farm
or in the grain exchange a chance to
boost the price to four or five dollars a
bushel
The people want relief from eXtortion
and needlessly high prices, The mini
mum scheme will never, never bring the
desired result

THE SENATE AND THE PRESIDENT

The Senate proposed to establish con-
gressional committee to supervise wal
expenditures. Pres. Wilson objected and
declared that this committee would be
embarrassing and would indicate lack OF
confidence in his conduct of the war.
The conduct of the war is greater un-
dertaking than reigning over Univer-
sity in the State of New Jersey, and the
methods of a college president are not
exactly adequate to successfully carry on
world war; The work which must in
evitably fall to the lot of Mr.. Wilson is
sufficient to require all his wisdom, pa
thence and ability, without looking after
expenditures, and there are plenty of men
in Congress who are competent to teach
the president good deal about business.
Mr.. Wilson is not superhuman. He has
his limitations. The Senate also proposed
to create board of three food admins
traitors instead of one. The President de-
clares that he is in favor of having but
one. The country does not much care
whether the Senate or the President wins
the fight about the management of food
control, but it does emphatically demand
that the dispute be speedily settled.
