Much has been said and written

been so succinctly and convincingly
summed up as in this little volume
by an officer of the United States army

1, Nv William M liebeT, Hobbs Wh an introdue-
G T. Putnam's Sons
here have been so many admirable
. books written about the war that Colo
mel Roosevelt might well have hesi-
tatcd to say that of them all this best
deserves TO be put into the hands Of
every American man and woman; and
yet when We recall the chief members Of
the splendid company we cannot select
one which we dare call its superior. And
perhaps, seeing that it treats every
subject which it takes up as we'll as
any other book, and that it treats
rather more subjects than any other,
we shall acquiescc in the judgment Of
the great writer of it's introduction,
and rank it primus inter poros.
Professor Hobbs is gratefully re-
membered by many publicly and by
some of us pers sonally as one of the
very first of Americans, at the outbreak
of the war, to have both vision and
voice, to discern unerringly what the
war was bound to mean to US and
what the Huns were doing in this then
neutral land, and TO speak out with
unsurpassed clarity and courage, to
expose the plots and to rouse the ma
ton to its duty and its needs. If only
there had been more such! And If
only he had been more needed by some
in the highest places We should not
then have been stultihed with twaddle
about being neutral in heart and feel
ings and not being concerned with the
causes and objects of the war.
Last year, in the maturity of thought
induced by four years of the war, he
gave the Substance of this volume in
course of lectures at the University
of Pittsburgh. Fortunate were the
students who heard him, and fortu-
nate will be the nation if now this
volume is widely read and it's wide
counsel enters into the motive power
of the American government. There
Is in existence no more illuminating
account of Germany's menace to and
outrages upon America, Of the malign
influence Of pacifism in this country,
and of the necessary terms of settle
ment if the war is really to be won
for democracy and humanity. Neither
is there more courageous exposure
of the sinister tendencies which are
now being manifested in high places
toward establishing autocracy at home
while pretending to protect democracy
abroad. Says Professor Hobbs in clos
ing:
you to be watchful of a man who
would make government personal,
who would, with much beautiful
speech concerning keeping the world
safe for democracy, force us into
an autocracy' while our attention is
temporarily distracted by the i'm
mediate menace of a world autocrat
in Europe.

HOW THE WORLD VOTES Hy Charles Seymour
and Donald Paige !'ray Illustrated. Two vol
unas. sv0, pp xiii N. $50. c. A. Nlclol,
Company Springfield, Mass.
This opulent and fascinating work is
reminder of the circumstance, too
often forgotten and too little credit
able, that the most familiar things are
frequently the least known. The ex-
ercisc Of the electoral franchise is one
of the very cOmmonest and most uni
versal functions Of our citizenship. \ ct
who knows the origin of it? Who knows
how it was practlscd in ancient, in
classical and in medieval times Who
knows how it is practiscd to-day in
othcrland? We talk glibly about ex-
tending or restricting the suffrage, but
what do We know about the steps
which have been taken during thou
sands Of years to bring the system to
its present state?
The authors begin with an olucida-
tion OF the four great theories of suf-
trage: AS an attribute of citizenship,
as a vested privilege, as natural
right, and as function of government.
cit would be interesting to ask the
average American voter which of the
four prevails here, and why'd From
that basis they trace The development
tthe various systems, ESPECIALLY from
Athens and Rome to the present day.
They describe in detail and often with
much picturesque and dramatic inter
est, the electoral systems of practically
all important lands of the world, both
past and present; giving, naturally,
most attention to the French British
and American systems, to which the
entire first volume is devoted OF
course, much attention is given to our
various primary election systems, and
to the question of woman suffrage; and
fine photography complete what we
must regard as the standard treatise
upon the subject.

Moreover. Mr.. Hyndman has long

that Georges Clemenceau is happy in

unate IN its exponent of "the Greatest
Statesman of the Greatest War"
1t is much more than a mere biog-
raphy that Mr.. ilyndman has written,

French politics from the accession of
Louis Napoleon to the present time,
with special reference to the part
which Clemenceau has played therein,
but with no attempt to exploit that
part unduly, to magnify the man. or to
approve all his acts and words Mr..
Hyndman does not hesitate to record
and to condemn his errors, which were
sometimes grave. But he unfailingly
exhibits what is, after all, the dominant
trait of the man, his intense. inces-

Where Are the Greet Preachers?

IN a hotel in East Fifty-ffth Street
Il the other day visitor from North
ern New York approached the clerk
with this question:
"Who is the greatest preacher in
New York;"
The clerk looked puzzled; then he
turned to another hotel worker and
finally replied "Madam, 7 don't know &"
The visitor pressed her inquiry
further, the next time asking her at
torney. He, too, looked puzzled, and
replied: 81 don't know that there are
any great preachers living any more"
Yet New York City is the goal of
most preachers. From the metropoli-
tan pulpits they feel that they can
reach vast congregations, not that the
churches here are as we'll filled even
as those of rural communities or of
the smaller cities. And among clergy
men that have laborcd here for many
years there is tradition that New
York is the graveyard of preachers,
that man whose voice has caused q
smaller community to listen is lost in
the city.
