Balkan Antecedents
Age-Long Energence From
Despotism TO independence

THE Rise OF NATIONALITY IN THE BALK-
ANS. BY II. w Eeton Watson Wt fn,-
maps. sso. pp. 30S Il. r. button & Co. N'
Holiness wise observation that a
mans education should begin with his
grandparents is we'll adaptable to our
knowledge Of nations. To understand
their present status we must know
their past history, preferably from the
very beginning. Particularly true is
TINS IN the case of lands whose in
terests and relations are so complex
as those of the Balkan States. Manv
years ago there was a standing phrase
IN newspaperdom about "the war cloud
in the Balkans" Jest was made Of
1t because of incessant iteration. but
1T was instinct with truth. No other
part OF the world has been more preg-
nant with belligerent possibilities than
that southeastern corner of Europe.
and it was quite in accordance with
the trend of centuries that there
should be the starting point of the
great war.
This need Of authentic knowledge of
the antecedents Of the present Balkan
states is admirably supplied by DR..
Seton Watson. His recital is brief,

not surprising to find him advocating
as settlement of the war arrange
ments which would abrogate national
sovereignty. 1t may be true that, as
he says, "no world-order can recog-
nize the dynastic claim of absoIute
sovereignty" though even there he in
fringes upon the principle of complete
elf-determination. Suppose chat some
nation deliberately elects to maintain
the principle of the divine right of
kings: Is the world order to oeny 1t
that right? But that is very differ
ent thing from recognizing or not rec
ognizing the democratic claim of the
absolute sovereignty of the people.
We believe it to be quite true, as he
says, that the final outcome will rest
not primarily on treaties and statutes,
but on the spirit and purpose which
lie behind "Given a common VIII, and
any one Of several Of the many elab-
ate plans will serve. Without it, all
would fail" Then for which should
we strive for first and most, the will
or the plan? The question is peril
nent. and seems to be sadly neglected
by the rampant propagandsts of vari-
Gus plans for leagues of nations.

The Nation and the World
Senator Sutherland OH the Ex-
ternal Powers of Government

CONSTITUTIONAL POWER AND WORLD AT
fAlhs ~ BY George Sutherland 12mo pp. vii.
-o-. Columbia University Press.
Ex-senator Sutherland's recent lect-
ures at Columbia University attracted
much attention, both from the students
at that institution and from the gen.
eral public, which they richly deserved
as an exposition of the extent and
limitations of the powers of the Unit
ed States government in its relations
with other countries. They had the
important advantage Of being the work
of both a scholar and a statesman, of
man gifted with the lore of books
and with the experience of a practical
participant in governmental affairs.
We shall not undertake to say which
capacity was dominant, or indeed
whether either was more CONSPICUOUS
than the other. There was of course
no incompatibility between them, and
their fellcltous union was productive
OF an exceptional degree of authority
and convincing force.
We must heartily welcome this ad-
mirable publication Of the full texts
OF those lectures, as a most timely
offering to those American citizens
who in the present great crisis of ma
tional and international affairs wish
to form their judgment and shape their
action on the most sane and substan-
tial ground. The reader will find in
1T some most suggestive observations
upon the function of the Senate to give
the President advice not only in the
making but also in the negotiation of
treaties, and of the special desirability
of the Presidents seeking such advice
in the making Of the treaties neces-
sary for settling the issues of the
present war; as we'll as some pertinent
and by no means favorable comments
upon the pending scheme for a league
of nations. A careful perusal of the
volume will conduce to clear vision
and sane thinking upon some of the
most momentous problems in our ma
tion's history.

The White Eagle
It's Essential Relationship to the
Dove of Peace

TIE WHITE EAGLE OF POLAND. BY e. f.
Benson. l2mo. pp- 255 George H. Doran Com
pany-
Bismarck's saying comes aptly to
mind, that when the White Eagle of
Poland came to life would begin the
decline of the Black Eagle of Prussia
Shrewd observers have not failed to
perceive that Germany, particularly
Prussia, is more intent upon prevent
ing the complete restoration of Polish
nationality, than upon anything else in
all the settlements of the war. For
Germany realizes that for her the fu-
ture course of empire lies eastward
if thus she can reverse the otherwise
invarable westward rule-and that she
must, therefore, have unfettered access
TO and intercourse with Russia and
through her with Asia. To such rela-
tionship a strong Independent Poland
would be an insuperable obstacle.
Hence the persistent and ferocious
German drive, now open, now furtive,
always desperately inexorable, against
the rehabilitation of Poland.
MIR. Benson, unlike too many of his
own countrymen and too many more
of our own, has vision to perceive
these things, and he has written about
them one of the most lucid and in
forming little books now before the
world He analyses with merciless
truth-seeking the "Mitteleuropa" prof.
cct of the Huns and demonstrates its
need of the subjection of Poland to
German influence, and he demonstrates
most convincingly the need to Western
civilization of a free, extensive and
powerful Poland to be perpetual bar
rier against that pernicious project. A
Poland of such description was long
ago declared by the Allies and was de-
clared by President Wilson in one of
his Fourteen Commandments, to be an
essential condition to just and en-
during peace. Upon that theme Mr.
Benson enlarges with irresistible and
triumphant logic. We could wish that
every member of the peace congress
might read, mark and inwardly digest
common sense.

but singularly comprehensive and
judicious in telling precisely the
things which we most need to know
and omitting those which, however
interesting, are not of essential i'm
portance. The narrative begins with
the climax and turning point of the
conquering career of the Tribe of 9th
man, and comes coherently down to the
end of the second Balkan War. There
it stops abruptly, leaving the work in
sense unfinished. Yet in another
sense it is complete, for obviously
what follows belongs to the history
of new era. The supreme merit Of
the work as it stands is its convinc-
ing explication of the train of events
which led to the Balkan complications
being used as the pretext for the Hun
nish assault upon civilization. AS such
it is one of the most authentic and
Illuminating works of which we have
knowledge.

THE SOCIETY OE NATIONS. By T. J. Law
renee. Syo. pp. xl. 19d. Oxford University Press
DR.. Lawrence discusses in six lect-
ures the ter-relationships Of the na--
tions of the world, especially in con-
nection with the great war and the
issues of peace making. The book is
largely historical, tracing the develop
ment Of relationships between states
in peace and war, but the last two
lectures are devoted to the problems
Of the present day. The author con-
siders that the hope of the world lies
in the application and enforcement of
law in the affairs of nations, and to
that end he favors the formation of a
league of nations, though he makes no
definite prescription of it's exact terms.
His discourses are Of timely interest
and will be of assistance to intelligent
readers in the forming of judgments
concerning the topic which stands sec
ond only to peace making in impor-
tance to the world.

FOREIGN FINANCIAL CONTROL IN CHINA.
by 7. w. Overach 12mo. PIP. xiii. 295. The

Expository rather than propagandist
or controversial is the purport of this
illuminating volume. The author en-
deavors to present an historical ac-
count of the establishment of foreign
influence in the fiscal affairs of China,
and to set forth the extent and the
need of that control at this time 1t

The text of this book cannot be
considered in light fashion, nor even
the book, though it dwells upon
psychic effects and upon the engross-
ing questions which the thinking mass
of the people are now considering in
regard to reconstruction. In the eyes
of the world it might be regarded
as a momentous question, this League
of Nations" Presumably there is The
international disputes; but in this
case that institution seems to be in
adequate to meet the present needs
OF the Peace Congress at Paris.
Mr.. Wellman gives a concise and
logical view of the various perplexing
questions involved in making the.
world safe for true democracy, sub
ject that is hardly understood by the
majority of the people, especially by
Americans. After reviewing all the
principles and solutions Of these aues-
tions, as propounded by the author,
one wonders whether it is done
through a working out of some pet
ideal; whether it is done through the
spirit OF pure Americanism, the spirit
OF democracy as given to us by our
forefathers who founded this nation as
a democracy, not q dynasty; or
whether it is propaganda for pure and
simple socialism. In his ideas he is
foroeful and presumably earnest in his
idea of the solution to the problem of
a world peace that shall last eons and
aons. But what does he offer but
socialism? And socialism is not going
to settle any national or international
disputes; instead it will only keep the
