a Ii Americans interested In Grecian
"A archaeology have heard Of Sir
Charles Waldstein, formerly (lSS9-1S93)
director Of the American Archaeological
School at Athens and more recently
(sinee 1904 fellow and lecturer of
Kings College, Cambridge. He has him
self characterized his occupations in life
as those of an academical teacher, an ex-
eavator and an author. His competency
as a scholar is evidenced by the fact
that he has repeatedly held Important
teaching positions in the University OF
Cambridge, notably the Slade professor
ship of fine arts under two separate ap-
pointments. His most important excava-
tions in Greece were at Plataa, where the
famous battle was fought, and on the site
of the Tomb Of Aristotle His earlier
writings related to subjects sug yested by
hrs professional pursuits; but recently he
has turned his attention chiefly to the con-
sideration Of problems arising out of the
great war.
From the title page Of his latest book,
Truth: An Essay M Moral ReconStrSc-
ton &c. p. Putnam's Sons), it appears
that he has abandoned the name If Wald-
stein-probably because he disiked the
Teutonie form of his patronymie-and de-
sires hereafter to be known as Sir
Charles Walston. This is not surprising
in an author of New York birth and Eng
lish affiliations. The essay may best be
described as a lament over the decrease
of truthfulness throughout the world
caused by the great conflict which ended
last year.

"The immediate influence of the wal"
we are told, ''in spite of all the heroism
and self sacrifice which it has evoked In
millions of patriotic citizens, has been TO
lower the moral standards of the world,
already defective and anaehronistic be-
fore the war" The principal symptom
of degeneration, in the authors view, is
the lowering of the standards of truth.
This has been accelerated, he thinks, by
the deceptive practices sanctioned in war
fare. "The last and most distasteful out
come" which irritates him, ais the intro
dnetion into our vernaeular of that hate
full word 'eamOufage,' used with nauseat-
ing frequency and qualification even by
the most lliterate. Camouhage is the at
tempt at OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES by words,
but by means of objects" This is appar-
emily heavy burden to the sensitive
spirit Of Sir Charles WalstOn, though
there can be no doubt that hundreds of
British lives were saved by the protection
against effective submarine attack af-
forded by resorting TO camoufage to con-
ceal the true character of troOpships.
The author holds the press largely re-
sponsible for the prevailing indifference
TO truthfulness which he believes exists.

III. ~.s- b..
When a distinguished university man
and scholar talks about the press as the
most DANGEROUS Institution in Modern
life, We do not expect from him any gen.
uine sympathy with Journalism. This is
precisely what Sir Charles Watson lacks.
He does not believe that it is possible to
enhgbten and guide the public wisely and
rightfully from day to day by the ex-
preston of such opinions and Judgments
as must be formed rapidly and ON the
spur of the moment by the editorial
writers Of great newspaper. He de-
clares that 1.-The lightning reckoner who
forms Judgments and opinions with light
ming speed must 60" The reader must
be relegated to the weekly reviews, the
monthly magazines and to pamphlets and
books for sagacious and safe comment
on the news Of the day. Sir Charles Wal
sion forgets that there are thousands Of
hard working men and women who If they
cannot get wise guidance concerning public
affairs from their daily newspaper may
never get it at all. Wherever there is
great power there is liability to abuse
of that power; but it does not follow that
because some newspapers are not what
they should be, all newspapers should be
shackled by the State:
TIE principal evils which Sir Charles
WalstOn finds in the modern daily news
paper are the race for priority of pubhea-
ton, which precIudes the careful weighing
and testing of facts essential to the as
certainment Of the truth; the disproPer-
Tomato importance gwen to startling and
sensational; news; and the treatment Of The
personal and private concerns Of peoples
lives as matters of national import and
public interest. He denOunees the literary
form in which the news and comments
:. thereon are presented to the public, and
SAYS that "even in the more temperate
and superior editing of our leading
papers, sensational exaggeratiOn in form
and dietion is day by day eneroaehing
upon the rule Of veraeity as well as Of
good taste" He objects to milhonaires
as the owners of newspapers, because
sometimes 'the personal preferences, ami
mosities or eapriciOus likes or dislikes Of
such financial potentates concerning pub
lie men and even private individuals are
directly manifested and made efficient in
the most powerful form of publicity,
without any possibility Of self-defenee
on the part of the victim" He comedies
in his preface that he has singled out
Lord Northcliffe, the owner Of the London
Times and the DAILY Nal, TO illustrate
one of the most glaring defects in Eng
Ish journalism; but nevertheless he avows
his desire ito bear testimony to the patri-
otic intentions Of Lord Northclffe and to
the important work in many directions
achieved by him during the war"

IN 1894 on Founders Day at Cornell
University the late Charles A. Dana Of
THE Sun delivered lecture on The
Making of Newspaper Man. in the
course of which he uttered this warning:
There is one point more, with which L
will close The value Of the free press IS
not now sufficiently appreciated in this
country. 1t is only some particular cir
cumstanee, some unusual occurrence that
can make it rise clearly before the eyes OF
US all. don't know that l can state 1t
with sufficient distinctness, but in my
Judgment the higher function of the press
is that at last it forms the final barrier
which stands between the people and any
gross wrong that may be attempted by
dominant party or by a ruling public
favorite II such a circumstance should
ever happen-and God grant that it may
not!-the mission Of the press, lifting its
voice in defence of the Constitution
and in defence of the spirit of liberty,
will be recognized; and the free press will
be appreciated as the defender of the
public welfare, of the Constitution and Of
liberty itself"

While his discussion of the relation be-
tween truth and journalism is by far the
most noteworthy portion Of Sir Charles
Walston's essay, there are other parts for
which we have nothing but praise. Espe-
cially would we commend the chapter sA+,
titled Tr.sstsporthineSs, where he dis
cusses truthfulaess- in conversation, and
that entitled Honesty, where he points
ont the error in the common assumption
that "every man has a right TO an opm-
ion" Indeed, the volume is thought CON-
pelling throughout
