that the attractive volume before US
has been prepared. 1t is history of
the war and particularly of American
participation in the war. 1t deals with
the entire period of the war down to
the establishment of the armistce. It
contains a coherent and dramatic mar
rative of the militant achievements OF
the war, together with sufficiently
complete setting Of the diplomatic ne
gotiations before and during the war
and the important public utterances
which the war called forth.
The volume is very largely based
upon official statements and reports,
and is therefore to be accepted as au
thentic. 1t is rrofuscly illustrated with
photographs, chiefly from official
sources. 1t contains q vast amount of
technical statistics, texts Of official doc
uments and other matter which might
pc regarded as the raw materials Of
history rather than finished history
in tho philosophical sense 1t is a
work admirably calculated to serve
widespread and useful purpose and to
rank very high among those contom-
porary histories Of the war with which
the world must be content until the
definitive histories are written in fu-
ture years.

pcnhagea unique distinction. No Won

restraints and responsibilities and is
incapable of doing wrong. OF course,
since the monarch is the head of the
state, his exalted status is sufficiently
defined, and it is easy to see what esti-
mate is to be placed upon ministers
and constitutions under the Prussian
system.
After thus reviewing the political
philosophy of Prussia, and therefore
the Prussianized German Empire, the
author shrewdly observes:
The last question to be considered
is whether it is right or endurable
that the other nations Of the world
should tolerate OR enter into, or even
form, international relations of COM
ity with a people holding such doc
trine of the state as have described.
To this the answer must be, NO!
The logic of events has now appar-
emily disposed of that problem 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the dsposi-
tion is really final; whether, that is to
say. the German Republic will have any
better political philosophy than had
the German Empire. To those in
tcrested in this question, as all the
world should be, the present volume is
to be most cordially commended.

Sky Pilot at the Front
From Canadian "Cranford''
to No Mans Land

TIE ns,ns sKy CE.,I PILOT IN No MASS LAND; BY

tompuny.
1t is over a decade since Ralph Con-
nor's first Sky Pilot appeared. Since
then he has written large number of
novels, built around many themes, and
all Of them with the scene laid in his
beloved northwestern Canadian wilds.
When the Cameron Highlanders won
eternal renown as part Of the "con-
temptiblc British army" which saved
the day at the Marne, Ralph Connor,
who is in private life Major Charles
w. Gordon, was there sharing thoir
hardships, going over the top with
them, comforting the wounded and
dying. Out of this heroic and moving
experience he has woven his latest
book. 1t is in no way con-
tinuation of the first one. He gives us
another Sky Pilot-one who goes to
the war mere boy, bit priggish, very
naive and unused to the ways Of the
world, and in his association with men
Of all classes in the intimate life of the
hospitals and the trenches, through
his first-hand knowledge Of courage, of
suffering and of death, he finds his
own soul. His development from boy
hood to the realities Of life is a won
dcrful piece Of character s&etchinq
The story begins in the Canadian
Northwest, where Barry Dunbar the
pastor Of a little church, and his father
live alone together. The love of the
father and son for each other is ex-
qulsitcly portrayed. The life of the
village reminds one of "Cran1ord."
Then comes the war, and it takes Barry
and ell the men Of that Canadian viii
lage to France. The love of Barry for
the "little " A d." the English girl
who Is working in French hospital,
and Of his friend Captain Neil, for
Paula, is delightfully."- told. Woven in
with 1t all is the terribl, reality of the
war.
Ralph Connor has drawn on his own
experience, and gives us picture Of
life at the front that will not soon be
forgotten. Years have mellowed his
art and his hand has gained cunning.

The ten short stories in this attrac-
tive little volume have nearly all been
published before. Two Of them, we be-
lieve, arc new. The leading purpose Of
the publication seems to be to assist
Indians in the study of English. With
view to that end there are copious
notes containing definitions of Eng
lish words and phrases and suggestions
Of words and phrases which Indians
order to use them Alright and not in the
fashion of "Babu" English. Some Of
these definitions suggest that the writer
of them was himself insufficiently ac-

and idioms, There are also some curl

BUDGET MAKING IN A DEMOCRACY. Bv Ed.

This latest volume in the Citizens
Library series is Of especially timely
interest, when the nation is confronted
with the largest revenue bill and the
largest appropriation bills in its his
tory. DR.. Fitzpatrick discusses the
relation OF the budget to government

the respective functions of the execu-
tive and the legislature in connection
with 1T. lie considers the various pur-
poses for which money is appropriated
as we'll as the sources from which it is
collected and their comparative i'm
portance.
Naturally, the consideration leads up
TO the notorious pork barrel" and
the ways and menas Of getting rid Of
that national scandal. The author is
a hrm believer in the Capitalization of
the discussion and epportionment of
appropriations, or Of expenditures. lust
as is now done with revenue proposals
and also in the system of planning
and prescribing appropriations for q
term OF years. To his mind much of
the pork barrel" abuse is due to the
hand-to- o-mouth system of yearly ap-
proprlations and their administration
by officials chosen for short terms. II

plete with suggestions of reform, and

What the American Arrival at

LYING BAYONETs by Conlngsh7 Dawson
IL mo. 9p 22l. John Lans Company.
Lieutenant Dawson's writings have
been among the great consultations and
inspirations Of the war, and this late It
of them, written at the climax of the
great struggle, is the best of all. The
volume contains letters written by him
to his family from tho spring OF 1917
to the fall of 1918, telling OF the fina!
struggles to overcome the Blond Beast
and Of the material and spiritual sig
nificance Of the entrance Of American
troops into the fight
Nowhere havo We found q clearer
vision Of the rea! meaning Of the war,
and Of the real character of the Hun.
Pity it is that some others. even states
men Of high degree, could not see eye
must remember that ne IL not a
militarist. His natural inclination is
toward peace: mercy, human Kindness,
and that gospel of love Of which his
father Is distinguished apostle and in
which he himself has been stepped. all
his life. So it is all the more signih-
cant that he says:
Whether we be soldiers or civil
ians, we each owe the Lord Hun
death for the accumulated horror
that has taken place. Such BIAS
phemes against Gods handiwork
cannot be wiped out with words. .
Mercy at this juncture would be
spiritual slovenliness. God has given
the Allies task to accomplish; He
has made us His avengers that, when
our work is ended, He may create
new heaven upon earth.
We used ourselves to have something
of that spirit; in the days when we
first sang with tremendous meaning
"Let the hero born Of woman crush the
serpent with his heel" Perhaps our
men at the front had it, too, in full
scribed by our author:
The attack that the Americans put
on on July a is, to my mind, one of
the most significant things that has
happened yet. Their battle cry
"Lusitania!" says everything in one
word concerning their purpose in
coming to France. E. can picture
the enemy in those old shcll-holcs Of
the Somme that | know so we'll. It's
early morning and low white mist
steals ghost-like over that vast
graveyard, where crumbling trenches
and broken entanglemcnts mark the
resting places or the dead. Inc
enemy would be sleepy-eyed with his
long vigil, but with the vanishing Of
the night he would fancy himself
safe. Suddenly hurled through the
dawn, comes the cry, "Lusitania!" 1t
must have sounded like the voice OF
conscicnce-thc old and boastcd sin
for which medals We're struck, the in
fanny of which was worn as a decora-
ton, rising out of the past to exact
suffering for suffering panic for
panic, blood for blood. can
think that somewhere beneath the
Atlantic the bodies of murts red chill
drcn sat up at that cry; | can believe
that the souls of their mothers went
over the top with those American
boys. . America is in France to
act as the revenge Of God.
1t should not be belcvablc that that
spirit has lapscd and is dead now in
the triumphant hour of reckoning.

Why Germany Is Germany

PnussIAN POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY. BY
W,stel W. Wlloughby. limo. pp. xi. o03 d.
Appleton x Co.
Professor Willoughby, Of Johns Hop
kins University has made here very
thoughtful and informing study of the
Prussian philosophy of government as
contrasted with cur own. He keenly
analyses the German worship of power
as the greatest of virtues, meaning, of
course, chiefly material and physical
power. To this worship must be added
the megalomaniac obsesson that Ger
mans are the chosen people Of God, and
are therefore superior to all others.
With these conditions in mind We are
prepared to understand their attitude
and policy toward the world We must
alsc take into consideration the theory
propounded by Kant. Hegel and others
concerning the state, that it is a sort
of concretion OF the Triune Godhead,
and as such is exempt from all moral

Too Artificial Mystery

Thayor. l2mo. PIP. 396. The Century Company
Mrs. Thayer has written an excep-
tionally intricate and puzzling mystery
story, involving a murder and lost
will, which will doubtless prove of alb
sorbng interest to many readers, the
more so as it contains strain of sem
timent which appeals strongly to hu-
man interests. Its chief dcfect-and it
is really serious one-is the too ar
tificial character of the plot and ac-
ton and the similarly artificial guise
of the actors, who sometimes seem
more like puppets than beings of flesh
