about his book is probably its rev.

instance, of meetings and CONVEX

Presidents, envoys-almost every
person or polltlcal note for the last
nifty years. He was involved in
Roosevelt's peace conference with
the Russians and the Japanese;
with any number of Presidential

OF the Chicago fire in one breath
and of talking war and peace with
the Kaiser in the next, as it were.

All of us have tried to keep up
with the affairs OF the conference
of Washington, but with most of
us the reading has been of the day
by-dsy sort; we have paid more at
tention to the conclusions of the
delegates than to the prior facts
upon which their conclusions have
been necessarily based.
The true worth of the great
gathering will be better determined
after the adjournment when sober
thought weighs what has been &C
complished. In this connection, and
especially since further parleys of
a similar sort are virtually prom
ised. it will not bio time lost for
those who would gain some ac-
quaintance with world politics to
devote reading periods to author

spiration to a number of young per-
sons who are struggling along
without very definite goal
ahead. For Melville Stone did a
surprising number OF odd jobs in
his youth without apparent head
way. He even gave up journalism
when he was not so young-ln
favor of banking. and then when
the Associated Press called him be-
cause of his known organizing abil-
ity and persistency he went back
to this larger journalism, the
technique of which he practically
created. There will be people no
doubt, who disagree with some of
his interpretations of events and
persons, but that is to be expected.
And the book is undoubtedly of
historical value. No personal story
of events stretching over fifty
years crammed with the making of
history can fall of that, and Mr..
Stone certainly knows enough Of
the presentation of facts to give
his record real significance.
