Socialism VS.. the State
An Interesting Discussion by
Emile Nandervelde

SOCIALISM VERSUS THE STATE by Emile
NandeIvclde limo. PIP. 22e. Charles II. Kerr
4 Co
We all like Mr.. Vandervelde. His
words and acts during the war have
commended and endeared him to us as
one of the foremost representatives Of
his hero-martyr country Moreover. we
must recognize the fact that social and
economic conditions in Belgium are
quite different from those iH America;
though we are not prepared to concede
that fundamental principles vary That
we must recognize also Mr.. Wander
velde's great authority as an exponent
OF socialism goes without saying. There
~ probably no more authoritative, more
sincere. more. explicit or more lucid
protagonist of that school of politics
and economics.
1t is therefore pleasure to have
from his masterful mind this discus
sion of the attitude of socialism toward
the state. In it he explains very clear
ly the theories and teachings of the
various schools Of socialism, shows
what has been the practical result in
European countries of the transfer of
railroads, mines, etc, to state owner
ship apd control, and points out IN
what respect such ownership and con-
troll differs from true socialism.
Whether we agree with him or not, we
must respect his authority and his sim
cerlty. and we must prize his book for

The Blond Beast

l2mo. pp $50 The Neale Publishing COMPANY
This is a study Of German, and
especially Prussian, character, public
and private. 1t is made by an eminent
educator and publicist, who was for
merly inclined to be partisan of Ger
many. 1t is written thoughtfully and
seriously. in scholarly style. 1t is
one or the most convincingly damning
eeXpositions of the Blond Beasts beast
hness that we remember to have seen.
The Infamous proclivities of Ger
many are no new thing, DR.. Super re-
minds us. They have been notorious,
ever since Germany first came into con-
tact with civilization. Tactus, for ex-
ample, records that the Germans of his
day spent their time in fighting and
considered 1t disgraceful to work for
anything which could be got by force.
They were also much given to strong
drink. tt o, But their love Of plunder was
the cause Of their ruin" This early
estimate of them has been verified
many times, in cases cited by the
author. Certainly it held good. with
interest, hundred years ago. Well
lngton was allied with them in a great
campaign, and appreciated the aid
which they gave him at Waterloo. But
he wrote of them:

general of the Germans down to the
smallest drummer boy in their legion

Infamies of Prussianism
By Willis Fletcher Johnson

its definitve presentation Of his side
of the case
That people will very widely not
agree with him Is beyond question. The
trouble with him, as with many other
sociallstic writers, is that he is too
much obsessed with "that blessed
word" proletariat. Anything that the
proletariat does is right; anything that
anybody else does is quite likely to be
wrong. The proletariat in the minority
Is Of more Importance than any others
IN the majority; and if the proetariat
is anywhere not in the majority we
must Immediately go to work to make
1t so. Thus, referring to the conser-
vat:sm of French radicals. he attributes
1T in great part to the fact that ma
lorlty of the voters are landed propre-
tors,i and are therefore interested in
the maintenance of the existing order.
Yet he would persuade US that they arc
not the real masters of France, but that
the banks and representatives of cap
italism are. Thus the state is made an
organ of class domination, and for that
reason should be abolished, or trans
formed into mere business agency,
controlled by the proletariat. That is
conclusion with which we cannot
agree. But we must thank Mr.. Wander
velde for presenting it so clearly. If
so generally sane a thinker and un-
doubted patriot as he takes such view.
we may imagine to what extreme
others may go who are less balanced.

ON BECOMING AN AMERICAN By Horace j.
bnd9es with autographed photograph OF author.
svo. pp ls6. Marshall Jones Company.
AS a nation we cannot but feel deep
ly the honor Mr.. Bridges has paid us,
first in his careful appreciation of us,
as set down in his present book, and
then in his full-hearted adoption of us
as the ideal of his allegiance. His
book radiates his honest sincerity,
which is the more complete because of
its logical thoroughness. He has done
more, probably, than most other
writer's to put the Giving spirit" of
America into plain words for plain
people
In attempting such task, however,
MIR. Bridges lays himself open to criti-
clsm as to his fitness for the work.
Here those traits which may be and
doubtless are the products of his an
cestry and early education, traits
which are the very reasons for his
value to us as citizen whose infu-
ence is bound to be widely felt, re-
strain and thus prevent him from fully
Interpreting our national essence. His
inevitable logic dulls the color of his
imagination. The saving grace of in
stinctive humor, quality quite apart
from the appreciation Of humor that
Mr.. Bridges possesses, is lacking to
give the final brilliant form to the
flame. Without this divine quality we

The Soul of Poilu

IllE FLAMING CRuCIBI-E. By Andre Fribourg.
TRANSLATED by Arthur T. Morris. lomo DID, lS5
Tho Macmillan Company "
One of the most striking features of
the Great War has been the mantle ia
tion of spirituality in France, not only
among the leaders, but in the ranl. and
file Of the people of the army. In no
other country Of the world, we believe,
has finer type or higher degree of
this supreme element been shown. The
present volume is a remarkable revela-
tiJn Of the soul Of the common soldier,
showing the extent to which he is dom
mated by the highest ethical motives
and is illumined by spiritual vision.
There is much action in the work, as
we'll as contemplation. There are many
stirring incidents. But everything is
madc tributary to the one supreme pur-
pose of revealing the soul of the SOL
dier. The spirit of the book is we'll
summed up in its closing sentences:
Millions of men will perhaps per-
ish in this war, and their corpses,
placed side by side, would reach from
London to Japan. Let not all this
blood be shed in vain! Let some
thing of the spirit Of the dead pass to
you who read. Know, al they Know.
that it is only faith that counts, and
that it is only in faith that we shall
be saved.
Is that a paraphrase of the immortal
Gettysburg address? 1t is an utterance
Of the soul of the French people.

the earth never groancd with such a
lot Of numbering, Infamous villains.
They murdered, robbed and III
trcnted the peasants wherever they
went.
Indeed, no better testimony Is needed
than that OF German Of to-day. the
notorious Matthias Erzbcrgcr, who
figures in our daily news as one Of tho
leaders in the reorganization OF the
empire. Said this unhanged scoundrel.
in the Rcichstag:
Let us spread. with the aid of our
dirigibles, frightfulness and death
among the British population. All
means must be permissible to use.
and even If we possessed the secret
of pouring rain of LIQUID fire on
British soil, why should we not use
it?
This, by the way, is the creature who
leads the whining chorus against the
of the terms of the armis-
tlce. DR. Super also reminds us Of the
persecution Of the intellectual leaders
VINO few generations ago gave glory
&c TO thei German name; and of the in
FAMOUS utterances of such philosophical
prostitutes as Haeckel, Eucken and
others, who in the name of science,
rellgion and truth deliberately perjure
themselves in support of organized
CRIME. The degradation of women. the
monstrous prevalence of sexual vices
and perversions, and the common dis
regard of law, which are characteristic
OF Prussia, scarcely need TO be recalled.
AS for the claims of Germany to a
of all intellectual and moral
greatness, they need only to be men
toned. When it is seriously declared
by German authorities that Shake
speare, Rodin, Michael Angelo, and
Abraham Lincoln were Germans. we are
prepared for anything, even for the
claim that Jesus Of Nazareth was of

GEOhGEs LEWYs's THE "CHARAED AMER
I,AN. WIN frontisplcce limo. pp 32s John

ICAN.n WIN frontsptece limo. pp. 32s John
Lane Company.
This is the story Of an American SOL
dler VINO fought in the famous French
IRON Division for thirty-two months,
IN some OF the hardest struggles of the
war, and came out the sole survivor of
his original company of 25O or more
men. lie himself was never wounded
and appeared, as he was reputed, to
bear a charmed life.
The book has been prepared from
manuscript written in the trenches,
and it shows it's origin 1t is saturated
with the atmosphere, and with the gore
OF the trenches, of No Mans Land, and
OF the whole hideous reek and weter
OF the battle front. 1t is not a book
tor the squeamish or weak -stomached
reader. But for those who can stand
realistic portrayals of battle murder
and sudden death, it is q masterpiece.
We have seen no more vivid war scenes
than these, and none more instinct
with all the mingled horrors and go-
rles of the truth. 1t is tremendously
dramatic, too, this epic Of the trenches.
This was at Verdun; when the Grown
Prince was trying to win his marshals
baton with cannon fodder':
Line after line comes up in dense
formation, mechanical, shoulder-to-
shoulder, superb with military exac-
titude and fortitude; it sweeps on,
over the crest, up to our positions
goes down in one scythe-like volley!
We rush the machines, feed-feed-
feed, everlastingly fire and feed-and
the spouting flame goes forth-the
grinding death spurs on.
No power on earth can give them
Verd n now. We-have them
stopped!
SO we read of Ypres, of Arras, of the
Champagne, Of the Sommc, of the Asne,
every line red with blood and rcdolent
of gunpowder; until, surfeited with
horrors, we cry, This is war, and war
is He'll.

The most convincing and character
istc part Of the book Is it's advocacy
of patriotism as religion. It's final
chapter is headed, "The Religious AS
pect of Americanism" In reading it
one feels, however, that here is rather
a substitution Of America for the
Church. This is an interesting point
of view. For may it not be possible
to worship God through devotion to

pany. Ithaca
Professor Bailey in this luminous
little volume analyzes and defines de-
mocracy largely, as might be supposed,
from the point of view Of the enlight-
ened agriculturalist. That is an inter
csting point of view and one to which
probably too little attention has been
paid. It is somewhat surprising, how
ever, to find writer who might nat

urally be supposed to take very prac
teal, if not a materialistic, view of his
subject, indulging in numerous daring
flights of fancy and idealism. We can
hardly agree with him IN the notion
that democracy rs n religious rather
than political or industrial principle
Yet it may not be Improbable to de
velop the religious or NJ least the
spiritual view of it somewhat more
fully than has hitherto been done.
