BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND JONATHAN
EDWARDS. Introduction by Carl Van
Dorcn. Published by Charles Scribner's
Sons. 81.
SELECTIONS FROM THE FEDERAL1ST.
Edited by John S. Bassett. Published by
Charles Scribner's Sons. 81.
TWO more numbers in The Modern
Students Library are at hand. There
is rather curious link between Jona-
than Edwards and Benjamin Franklin
in the common ground of speculation
as to the phenomena Of nature. Both
meet here in reflection inspired by
fash of lightning, by seeds, by other
manifestations Of animate life. To-
gcther, the fiery metaphy yscian and the
cool headed naturalist, they represent
the best Of American writing of the
eighteenth century. This collection
from their works presents the salient
phases of their thought.
"The Federalism shaped American
politics to an extraordinary degree.
Hamilton's audacious and yet sensible
argument, constructive and contro-
versial, forced men to its ground. The
whole struggle Of the early days of the
republic is mirrorcd in his writings
and this collection, wisely made, should
find many readers.

The Trusts
A Close Study of Big
Business

TIE TRUST PROBLEM IN TIE UNITED
STATES Bl Eliot Jones' PhD. Pub
lIshed by the Macmillan Company.
Price So
N r. JONES uses the word trust"
in the way in which it is used
by the political orator attack :
ing "bg business and Wall Street. He
uses it to designate corporations or
combinations Of corporations which
control, or as he has it, have "monopo-
listic power in regard to a given in
dustry
Tho book is ono Of 5S7 pages, Of
which about 200 pages arc devoted to
the study of the Standard Oil, Ameri-
can Sugar Refining, American Tobacco,
United Shoe Machinery, United States
Steel and international Harvester COM
panics. The sources are largely the
evidence submitted in suits against
these companies and the matter intro
duccd into political Investigations Of
the companies. The book is written
as textbook, with a good deal Of
the tircsomc treatment which is asso-
ciatcd with a textbook
AS book of reference it has con-
siderable value. AS philosophic or
economic discussion of the problems
of government and business factors it
is neither broad nor deep. 1t is pedan-
tic The chapter devoted to the eco
Monies of the trust fails quite com
plctely to do justice to the subject
in our opinion, and even as an argu-
mcnt it would seem that the book
would have more weight if Dr. Jones
had had q more practical knowledge Of
the management of business.
For this reason, while tho con-
clusions reached arc interesting, they
carry less weight than they would have
had the author shown a broader SYM
pathy with both sides of tremendous
ly complicated problem. In substance
the conclusion reached is apparently
summed up in the following para
graph
'lf, then, the purposes Of the anti
trust laws arc to be achieved, it is
evident that unfair methods of compc-
tition must be eliminated; the monopo~
lization of natural resources must be
prevented, by specialization If ncces-
sary; the patent laws must be revised.
trust dissolutions must be made more
effective and the tariff must be re-
formed "a farreaching program. and
yet it would appear that in no other
way can there be secured a fair field
for all and favors to none"

A Feline Epic
The Story of Grey-Puss
and Her Brood

KITTENS. BY Svend Tleuron Published
by Alfred A. Knopf. 81
IN THIS delightful book Svend
Fleuron proves that kitten may
be every bit as interesting as a
human being. Grcy-Puss, the mother
cat, is determined that her kittens shall
not be drowned or eaten by dogs. SO
she forsakes the farmyard and finds a
safc retreat in the fields, where she
brings up her young.
The six kittens all develop very dis
tinct individualities. One is a hunter.
another a fighter, still another a thief.
and 80 on. The author combines a very
cvldcn. love for cats with an intimate
knowledge Of nature and the habits Of
wild creatures. Some Of the battles
IN the story arc worthy to rank as
feline epics In this category may be
mentioned the duels which Black k-Kit-
ten fights with crow and an owl and
the successful campaign which old
Grcy-Puss wages against her tradi-
tlonal enemy, the farm dog Box
Most of the cats who have figured
in story have been tame, sheltered ami
mails. One recalls Pierre Lofts bogra-
ply of his own cats and the majestic
figures of Hannibal and Hamilcar in
Aratole Frances Crime of Sylvester
Bonnard." But Svcnd Fleuron projects
his kittens into struggle with Nature,
in which they must kill or be killed,
cat or be eaten. The development Of
the kittens in the harsh but stimulat-
ing environment of wood and field is
al, the more exciting.
In this cat story Svend Fleuron
again proves his right TO place among
the few truly great chroniclers Of ami
NAL life. The translation from the
Danish is admirably executed by David
PritcharG, and there is an interesting
foreword by Carl Van Vechtcn.

slothful and inefficient to the last de-

Keeping these circumstances in mind,
it is not difficult to understand the
staggering Russian defeats Of 1915 and
the complete disappearance Of fighting
morale in the army after the March
revolution. AS might be expected, the
author boils over with indignation at
this last development. His diary is
full Of indignant denunciations Of Kcr-
ensky for failing to check pac:tist
propaganda and restore iron discipline
IN the army. His opinion of the naive
dealists who believed that it was pos

TO their reason and conscience is ex-
pressed in the succinct comment:
