that English statesmen, jealous Of Ger
many's success in the world markets,
attempted to encircle II. The Lich-
nowsky memorandum and Won Jagow
admission have made that view ridicu-
lous."
An honest reading Of that remark
able document written by an honest
German diplomat should convince any
intelligent German citizen Of the guilt
Of the Berlin government and the in
nocence Of the allied powers. The New
York World suggests that the federal
Committee on Public Information fur
nish an authentic copy to all the Ger
man language newspapers in the
country, to place before their read
ers. Are they willing to print it?

CONCLUSIVE PROOF.


The influence of Prince Lchnow-
sky's expose of the German war con-
spiracy has been as marked in America
as anywhere lese. To great numbers
of German-Americans it has been the
final, conclusive refutation of the Ger
man claim that England was response
BILE for the war. A good example is
found in the open confession" pub
hshed by the Milwaukee Germania-
herald, a newspaper which was long
steadfast defender Of Germany.
We too" sadly admits the Ger
mania Herald, have time and again re-
peates the assertion to our readers

Report of H. B. Stovall, Treasurer,
from October Both, 1917. to April 30,
1918:
New-York tribune., 1918-11-09

the most comprehensive American
romances ever written; for while it's
scene is laid in "provincial" Kansas
community. the motives, the ambitions,
the passions, the issues, with which it
deals are national, if not indeed ethnic.
We have seen no truer nor more vital
portraiture Of distinctive and impor-
tant American types that are here
given, from the pure idealist to The
Grass materialist. These two ex-
tremes are so admirably balanced that
we expect that many readers will at
first be puzzled or indeed mistaken as
to the application Of the title. They
will suppose that it has reference to
the idealist Adams and the visions of
his heart; only to find later that it
means the materialist Van Dorm and
his contemptuous boast that there is
no God.
Mr.. White might have done better to
omit some Of the stage directions and
technical descriptions of the properties
Of his great drama. There are times
when these seem tedious and ohstruct
the action. But despite such blcmishes
he has produced a noteworthy work Of
literary art. conspicuous among the
books of the season, and destined, we
may confidently predict. to stand per-
manently among the most character
istic romances of American folk-life.
