Love Making

dominates the output of fiction, as it
does most Of the activities and prod

Social Democracy
Its Principles and Aims Author.
tatively Discussed

SOCIAL DEMOCRACY EXPLAINED. BY John
spargo. l2mo. PIP 33s. Harper & Bros.
We cannot help recalling the story
of the wandering Red Man who, when
asked if he was lost, proudly exclaimed,
"No! Indian not lostl Wixwam lost!
Indian here!" SO Mr.. Spargo proclaims
his severance of himself from the
Socialist party because of what he re-
CARDS as its unfaithfulness to the prin-
himself still to be Socialist. In a
sense the Indian was right, and in a
still truer and more comprehensive
sense Mr.. Spargo is right. Bolshevism,
Syndicalism, the I. W. w. and other
social and economic alterations, which
he Justly condemns, are not true So
cialism, and from a so-called Socialist
party which countenances them real
Socialist may we'll retire without being
any the less Socialist.
DESPITE, therefore, Mr. Spargo's with
drawal from the Socialist party we may
regard him as one of the foremost
authorities on true Socialism, and his
book, therefore, as an authoritative
treatise. He deplores the betrayal of
the international Socialist movement
by the Germans, and anticipates a
material readjustment and reorganiza-
of the war. His simple and lucid
speech and his freedom from extreme
passion and invective differentiate him
from many-perhaps most-of the So
cialist writer's and commend the book
to the careful reading of those who
wish to be we'll informed concerning a
movement which, whether we approve
it or not, must certainly be reckoned
among the great forces of the world

to bring Armstrong back to us in his
breathing, living presence. AS me-
mortal of him and nothing more it
would be work to be coveted
The other phase is that OF the record
of the school and it's pupils, of what
it has done for them in half a century,
and of what they, going out from it, have
done for themselves, for their race and
for the world. That is most encour-
aging, gratifying, inspiring record, as
suring us of how we'll worth while the
effort has been. To this phase of the
subject Mr.. Peabody, who is one of the
trustees of Hampton, addresses him
self with abundant authority and with
instructive skill. Not only does he tell
the story, but also in appendices, tab
ular and other, he confirms his case
with facts of record.
The volume was prepared and is put
forth as memorial Of the fiftieth an
niversary of the school. 1t is far more
than that. 1t is an invaluable contribu-
tion to the permanent biographical,
educational and sociological history of
America.

Zionist Nationalism

ROME AND JERUSALEM. BY Moses Hess
Translated FROM the German. with Introduction
and notes. by Meyer Waxman. l2mo, pp 264
Bloch Publishing Company.
Written more than half a century
ago, this book is so apt to present con-
ditions that we must regard the trans
lation and republication of it as most
timely. 1t must have been with some
thing of prophetic vision that Moses
Hess foresaw political conditions in
Europe closely approximating those of
to-day, and saw the only real emanci-
patton of the Jews in their development
of true national spirit and their re-
establishment in country of their
own. He was indeed the advance agent
of the Zionist movement. which seems
now to be reaching a triumphant cul-
mination. His book is in fact a most
vital commentary upon the affairs of
our own day in relation to the Jewish
restoration in Palestine.

ties do not change with our intellectual
fashions. With the incoming of fresh
,lght those intellectual accounts are
mound to change, and the consequent
moral is that one should distinguish
faith from FORM and not fretfully
throw away the kernel with the husk.
IS an admirable illustration that
Dr. Wilton provides of thinking
breadth combined with devotional
depth. The essay is an attempt to
show that while the fourth century
metaphysical conceptions of the Holy
Trinity, as those conceptions are pre-
served in the Creeds, have no inner
ent relation to the conduct of life,
there is abundant pragmatic sanction
for returning to the simpler view of
fered in the New Testament, the view
of Trinity in the activities of God in
the life of the world.

Sewell Ford s Son, Torrev

cHEBR.y1P LETTERS. From Private With Persh-
ing By Torrey Ford With portrait 12mo pp
Torrey Ford is Sewell Ford's son, you
know. That fact ought in itself to be
a pretty good notice of the book. And
if we add that he is a chip of the old
block, that makes it equal to a half
column review. Well, Torrey joined
Pershing's army as private in June
of last year, and went over to France
with it, and there he has been for
months. He has done his bit in many
ways; hopefully, by this time, in killing
many Huns. But amid all he has found
time to write many letters to the folks
at home, full of keen observation,
breezy comments and unaffected humor
He was, by the way, one of the first
Americans cited for bravery by the
French government, concerning which
he writes: "Of course, don't deny hav-
ing been brave, but can't remember it
very distinctly" There you have the
measure of the man and of his book

The letters have not, we think, been

publication, but merely have been sub
jected to legitimate editing-they all
sound entirely too spontaneous for any
thing more. Here is an account of an

How can even an anti-aircraft gun

humanity for sign from the life be-

forth his views and the reasons for

so with simplicity, sincerity and
an absence of either dogmatism or
