May Postpone
Hard Problems

Paris, Dec. 2s.--In conferences CIR
cies the opinion prevails that sew
eraI difficult questions which will
come before the allies at some sirne
during the peace conference may be
leftkover for arrangement after nm
agreement has been rachcd as to
league of nations.
One of these questions may be the
future status of Luxcmburg. One
party there desires the re-estabiis!l-
ment OF the grand duchy. Another
favors the proclamation OF repub-
lie. third advocates annexation TO
France, while another prefers an
nexation TO Belgium. The same
course may be followed concerning
differences between the Italians and
Jugo-S -Slavs as to a division of ter
ritory on the eastern shore of the
AdrIatic.
A question which attracts atter-
ton is the future of Serbia where
there is a conflict OF several Eu-
ropean influences. Cardinal Bourne
archbishop OF Westminster. went 10
Serbia recently and before leaving
Rome had a long interview with
Pope Benedict. An Anglican bisho.i
also has visited Serbia. It is reported.

The Drama Of Russia

THE RED HEART or RUSSIA B7 Bessie
Reatty illustrated. Svc. IN. $50. Tho Cen
Contemporary Russian history has
the fascination of a realized dream.
And just as those factors in dream
which rise into waking consciousness
take on ncw and oftcn q terrifying
significance, so the Russian Revolution
has confounded the very dreamers who
prepared it and afforded the social psy-
chologists the materials of a tragic
living drama.
This is emphasized throughout Miss
Beatty's account of her sojourn in Rus
sla of the revolution, more particularly
in the. chapters dealing with the fail
ure of groups and individuals to ap-
preciate the forces with which they had
to work: Kerensky's failure to main
tain the position of "the man on horse
back; the failure of the serious thou
sands of women soldiers to understand
the underlying causes of the mems de-
sertion; the failure of the intellectuals
to cope with the actualities of revolu-
ton; our own failure to give recogni-
tion and material aid to the Soviet eoy-
ernment.
Miss Beatty was in Russia before
kerensky's fall, through the incredible
days of the Bolshevist revolution, un-
til the tragedy Of Brest-Litovsk. Her
sympathetic account Of the efforts of
Lenine and Trotzky to overthrow Prus-
sian militarism, while maintaining the
morale Of the starving Russian mill
'ons. is the more convincing because
her book is the history of the authors

Indian Letters
Western Europe Seen Through
the Eyes Of Asia

THE EYES OF ASIA. By Rudyard Kipl,ng l2mo
PIP l0l.f Doubleday. Page & Co.
We have here a new Montesquieu,
new and better. Comparison of
these four brief chapters with the i'm
mortal PERSIAN Letters" is inevitable,
but it is not altogether fortunate for
the French classic. The explanation
is obvious. Montesquieu did not know
his Persia as Kipling knows his India,
and with all his rare talents and fe-
cund invention he did not enter into
and then exhibit the very soul of his
supposititious correspondents as this
later master does. To para phrase the
remark in "Stalky and Company" this
is not an imitation of Indian writing,
but it is actually India itself. Note
He is writing Of English girls and their
education:
Even the girls Of eight years can
cast accounts, and those that are
marriageable have complete knowl-
edge of cookery, accounts and gov
ernments, and washing OF clothes,
agriculture and the manufacture of
garments and all other Offices, other
wise they are reckoned infirm minded.
The shrewdness of observation, the
pertinence of comment. the justice of
criticism and the subtlety of humor
which mark the four letters which
compose this little volume are in
imitable. They are a welcome re-
nascence of the Kipling Of the old-time
Indian tales, at his best.

"Guynemer is the Roland of our

hitting of all tributes ever paid or to
De paid to the matchless knight of the
ar 10 1t in it's classic simplicity even
the eloquent narrative of Mr.. Bordeaux
ana the earnest appreciation of Colo
nel Roosevelt must yield precedence.
IN score of words it expresses the
Just estimation of France for her aerial
champion.
1T is of interest to recall that a for
mer Guynemer, possibly an ancestor
OF MN whom we have known, was a
companion of Roland, figuring in the
immortal "Chanson." Some day some
poet worthy of such theme may trace
the far transmission of the selfsame
spirit from the one to the other. To-
day we must be content with the sug-
gestion and with the Imagination, still
more with the simple facts of this later
Guynemer's career. 1t was q career so
daring, so devoted. SO inspiring, so tri-
umphant, as to challenge the most

mr.. Bordeaux has done we'll to divide
his narrative not into chapters but
into cantos. By the sheer virtue of
the simple facts which he has to tell
his story is made lyric, dramatic, epic
another "Chanson," Chanson de Guyne-
mer! A touch of the same inspiration,
too, came to the artists, one Of whom
has given us a portrait which compels
the heholder to say that that is just
how Guynemer must have looked, be-
ing what he was, while the other has
drawn a series of views of the aero
plane in flight which convey an un-
surpassed impression of height, of
speed and Of the immeasurabIe soli-
tudes Of the spaces through which this
winged knight scared on his high en-
prise and through which at the last he

We shall have many more tributes
to Guynemer. We may have none more
true and touching than this, nor more

States and the proposed constitution
of the united nations. In this way he
effectively suggests the partial prac-
ticability of the scheme, but also, it
must be confessed, reveals what seems
to US formidable if not an insuperable
obstacle. The states of this Union, he
points out, live together in peace be-
cause they have surrendered those
powers which might make for war. If
the nations of the world should do the
same, they also would live together in
peace. That is logical, so far as it
goes, but it does not go to the root of
the matter. Surrender" in that case
is verb with a double obie The
states did not surrender their warlike
powers in the sense of abandoning
them, but in the sense of turning them
over to some one else to wit, the ma
tional government, which is able to
exercise them in superiority TO the
states. But 10 what power are the ma
tions thus to surrender their poten-
TALLY warlike functions? Are they pre-
pared to create new government, su-
perlor to themselves, and subject them
selves to 1t to any such degree as our

These two attractive volumes are the
first of series which has been under
taken under the editorship of Profess
sors D. P. Barrows and T. H. Reed, of
the University of California, intended
to cover the governments of all i'm
portant countries historically, poiiti-
cally and statisticaly, with ample
bibilographies and references. The
scheme is singularly inviting and
timely, and gives promise Of immense
utility. The volumes before us are
admirably conceived and written, and
are calculated to be of equal service
for consecutive reading, for study, and
for reference. The print, paper and
binding are exquisite, and while each
volume is of encyclopedia scope, it is
SO small and light as readily to be
held in the hand or carried in the
pocket. If the whole series is kept at
this standard, as We may confidently
expect, it will be highly creditable to
American scholarship and to the pub
fishing trade.
