\ Triumph Of Intellect.

l doubt whether history can show any case of the triumph of intellect in a democracy as remarkable as was the acceptance of conscription by the American people when they saw that war was upon them. They reversed one of the most deeply grounded tra- ditions of their race and history, as it were, in a night. because they saw that both justice and common sense required the change.-John Jay Chap man, in the January Atlantic.
