After the War
What Will Become of the British
Empire?

IN THE WAKE or THE WAR By Harold Hodge.
leno. pp Il. 226. Tho John lane Company
Mr.. Hodge frankly proclaims his
book 30 be tract for the times; which
is really high recommendation of it.
Frankly, it is a consideration of purely
British affairs; which does not make
it uninteresting TO the rest of the
world. For in the first place, by
British affairs" we mean the affairs
Of the whole British empire and not
alone the United Kingdom, and that
empire, "to which Rome in the height
of her glory is not TO be compared
is of so vast and varied extent that
nothing that affects it can be void OF
interest TO all the world. And In the
second place, it is quite obvious that
because Of this war there will at It's
end be effected some pretty radical
changes in the governmental systems
of all important nations and in their
relations one to the other; and con
sideration of prospective changes in
the British empire is likely, therefore
20 have some pertinent and profitable
suggestions for other lands, even for
our own.
II IS not paradoxicsl to say that Mr.:
Hodge contemplates a development OF
both imperialism and democracy. The
two terms are not in the least lncom-
patible. if we consider the one TO be
geographical and the other. politlcal IN
application. The British empire, as
geographical entity, is to be main
tained. It's irrefragable unity in this
war. at so tremendous cost TO the
Overseas DominiOns, is sufficient PROOF
of that. But il is likely to become much
more a democracy than 1t is to-oa!,
That will mean not so much individual
as what we might call collective democ-
racv. IL will mean not so much that
the rights and powers Of the individual
citizen will be increased, in the AFFAIRS
of his own state, as that those OF the
states will be increased in the affairs
of the empire. In brief, the war Is
likely TO be followed by something Ike
a realization Of Joseph Chamberlain
in n;red vision of imperial federation.
Such an achievement would be OF I'M
uense interest and Importance to the
rest of the world, and TO no part Of 1t
quite so much as to the United States,
yrbose model and example would thus
he largely followed. In this aspect OF
the theme. Mr. Hodges thoughtful and
scholarly treatise is likely to appeal
With no we r-~~- 80 American as
vell as to British interest.

PARIS, Nov. 1O.-German papers on
the whole have been frank in discuss
ing Americas participation in the war.
IL is true that their experts nearly al
ways agree that we cannot bring a
sufficient number Of men TO Europe TO
affect the result, but this is not mere
bluff, but the logical conclusion which
enc must accept if he will first accept
Germany's theory of the potentiality
Of the submarine.
The one item in Americas prepara-
tion over which Germany has allowed
herself glmmer Of worry in print is
the aeroplane. German newspapers
take the attitude that they will be able
TO match our production Of planes, but
they lament the fact that this war in
the air threatens to make the conflict
increase in fury"
ut is undeniable," says the "Frank-
furter Zcitung," that the Western
powers are making tremendous efforts
to prepare the new offensive next year
By bombing attacks and to support it
in a way quite unprecedented. There
is no doubt that the Entente lay great
stress on American assistance on this
point Nor do we doubt that the tech
nical resources of the enemy will
achieve brilliant work in this branch Of
equipment. But all this has its limits.
The first and most effective restriction
will be the German counter measures.
Our General staff, OF course, have long
known the views given above. Tha. our
industries will master the task thus
laid upon them is beyond doubt to
every German. We shall meet the
enemy attack by German defence and

the major comes 20 the conclusion that
no considerable number could come oe-

GOO 10 500 600 men is the greatest con-

could make.

merchant will wake up and tell you
