economic preconceptions of the
prophets. On the surface there does
not seem to be much amiss with
Europe at the present time. There
has been no march of the Red army

the feeble Communist revolt in Ger

open effort to promote domestic revo-

Under these circumstances it is
natural that most of the Americans

clined to regard the prospects of the
Continent with a certain measure OF
optimism. 1t has remained for Mr..
Bass and Mr. Moulton to demonstrate,
with dramatic conclusiveness, that
optimism is very much out Of place in
any discussion of present day Euro
pean conditions. They formulate an
analysis of Continental economic con-
ditions that is unanswerable because
il is based not upon passion or preju-
dice, but upon material compiled from
the most conservative and reliable
sources of information, such as re-
ports published by government depart
ments, by economic conferences and
by commercial bodies. This material
is checked up and supplemented By the
personal observations OF the authors.

Lee in Fiction
Thomas Dixon's Novel of
the Civil War

Published by d. Appleton & Co. 81.
~ OBERT E. LEE, the chivalrous
N leader of the Southern armies in
the Civil War, is the hero Of
this new historical novel by Thomas
Dixon The author pictures Lee in
many dramatic situations-apprehen
ing the future conflict in conversa-
tions with his friends, struggling be-
tween loyalty to the state and loyalty
to the nation, leading the Confederate
armies in a gallant struggle against
hopeless odds, and finally going to
meet Grant at AppomattoX, greater in
defeat than many generals have been
in victory
If Lee is the hero of the novel, John
Brown is its villain. Mr.. Dixon holds
the stern old Abolitionist responsible
for precipitating bloody conflict over
a question which, in his opinion, could
have been settled by peaceful means.
Obsessed with this conviction, he goes
Somewhat beyond the boundaries of
historic fact, especially in ascribing
all the disorders in Kansas to Brown s
unprovoked killing of Southern
soldiers.
"Thc Man in Gray" is really history
cast in fictional form, rather than fic-
tion with a background of history.
However, the author gives his imag-
ination as novelist free play in sew
eral love episodes. And the whole
story, whether it be regarded as his
tory OF as fiction, is fascinating be-
cause Of the power and vividness which
the author displays In falling 1t.

THE four volumes of DR.. van Dykes
collected works, numbered from
XII to XIV, are at hand. We
recall vividly an hour at Avalon
Princeton, in that fine library so filled
with the thought of Tennyson, and it
is fitting that the first volume of the
four now with us be given over wholly
to Van Dykes complete and sympa-
thetic study of the poets verse. No
man in America has gone nearer to the
self of Tennyson than the author of
this volume and the result is a neces-
sary aid for all who would understand
the prevailing mood of the writer Of
"1n Memoriam." The second volume,
that with the title ideals and Applica-
tions," is a composite treatise on poll
tics and poitethics. In it, among other
papers, is the sterling one on "The
Americanism of Washington" which
covers the career Of the first President
and interprets him as a model for the
present and the future The third vol
ume, "Evangel," is concerned with "Thc
Gospel for an Age of Doubt" and "The
Gospel for World of Sin" In the
closing section is found a singularly
trenchant handling Of the eternal prob
lem of the existence of evil, an unan-
swerable statement for those apoIogists
for God who deny the facts of sin.
The fourth volume, "Counsels by the
Way" contains papers dealing with
faith, courage and the lives of st. John.
Abraham and Solomon.

The Issue of Rituaism
One of the most characteristic of sll
episodes was that over the issue of
ritualism, in 1874. when Disraoli sent
to Lord Salisbury letter from the
Queen urging governmental support of
the Archbishop's bill, to which Lord
Salisbury Indignantly replied. quite
in the vein of Burghley admonishing
Elizabeth: "Of course, | cannot SUD-
port such a bill" The measure was
remodeled in accordance with his
views, and he then supported it with
vlgor. His speech in the Lords was
misquoted and violently attacked bv
Sir William Harcourt in the Commons.
whereupon Disraeli rose in his defense.
but instead of exposing and denouncing
the misrepresentation upon which the
attack was based, assumed it's correct
ness and apologetically uttered one of
his most famous epigrams. Lord Sal
lsbury, he said, "is not q man who
measures his phrases He is a great
master of gibes and flouts and jeers." "
1t speaks worlds for Lord Salisbury's
philosophy and sense of humor that.
commenting upon the whole incident.
he wrote to Disraeli: "Parliamentarv
life would be unendurable if people
took such incidents in bad part" 1t
may be that Disraeli assumed that the
reference was solely to Harcourt's
vicious attack, but fancy that every
body else reads between the lines a
still more direct reference to Dizzy's
maladrot defense.
