must be surmounted. And while 1t ad- vances no neat and easy plan. such as a world court or an international police. it points out a way by which permanent peace may be attained. The rank and file of peace advocates, ac- cording to the author, have shown themselves to be out of touch with re- ality. MT. Hugins' argument is based on cool and disillusioning analysis tho nternaU Uonal situation. His point of view is unusual in being nait broadly nor pro-German. and in com bining an ardent pacfisn vllh s.A equally ardent belief in preparedness.
 There are IS chapters in the book. Some of the titles are: "The Collapse of Pacifism," War for Wars Sake" Blood and Bones" "The Militaristic Critic Profits of Aggression" "The Politics of Peace" "The Best England" Yankee Ethics" and Double Bar reled Preparedness"
 Roland Hugins is instructor in eco- monies at Cornell university, of which he is a graduate and fellow. For a considerable time he has been inter- ested, in an unofficial way, in the peace movement and in 1914 was a del- esate to the summer school and peace conference held under the direction of Norman Angell in London

NEW IDEALS IN BUSINESS. |.

By Ida M. Tarbell. The Macmillan com
 pany, publishers, New York.
 That there are forces at work today in industry which are silently revolution izing it and that science and humanity are the chief factors in this great re- organization, are'the thoughts underlying this book. The chapters are based on Miss Tarbell's own experience. T have talked, she says, with hundreds of men and women; presidents and directors of companies; superintendents; foremen; consulting engineers; safety and sanita- tion experts industrial nurses; men at the furnace. the loom or lathe; girls at the spinning form, the canning table, the counter. To see at their work all the ment and women in a plant from those with the shovel or scrubbing brush to those in the head offices; to look at their conditions, to see them in their homes, to learn from their lips what they thought and feel about 1t all-this has been my method" The conclusions which she has reached from these sound fnves- tigations argue well for the future of American business.
