Bismarck, altho he started nis poll
teal career as a savage enemy of the
movement for unification, was astute
enough to become it's equally savage
and ruthless leader when he realized
that the consolidation of Germany
was inevitable. He really pursued
a policy of "blood and iron," forging
the German empire out of the lives

Austria and France.

of the working class movement and

Bismarck said: eve and they will in
cvitably come TO blows, so the sooner
the betterl You will never be able to
kill socialism by a policy of reform;

PEELED to kill it with bullets"
For the petit bourgeoisie, he had
the greatest contempt. His attitude
was reflected in his paper, "Kreuz-
zeitung," which, in reference to
Bismarck and Lassalle declared:
These are real men: whereas the
liberals have at their disposal neither
bayonets, nor fists, nor the charm
of genius"
Apart from the rich historical set

is inextricably boundl the growth Of

by skillful arrangement of fact.

who Are Chosen?

THE MEMORIAL JOURNAL, organ
of the Jewish liberal bourgeois
intellectuals, has just been changed
from a bi-monthly to a monthly. The
first issue under the new editorial
policy contains several articles of in
terest. The magazine as whole,
however, retains it's air of academic
aloofness, it's most biting scourgings
being necessarily confined to playful
parodies on the Professional Jew. The
outstanding characteristic of the
magazine is the absence of vitality
. The present issue contains three
articles of interest: SIS Rabbits Case
Hopeless?" by Charles A. Beard;
From Versailles to Zurich" by Her
bert Solow; and "The Flying Litvak,"
by Louis Berg. The last is a bril-
liantly satirical portrait of that comic
hero, Charles A. Levine.
Beard apparently dashed off his
piece in hurry, for it is full of silly
stuff. Here is his prescription for
the modern employer: Hope for him
if there is any, lies in introducing
sincerity, thought, beauty, and great
ness of spirit into his own work
here and now-the business of build

II have said that the London
Merchant represented deliberate
rupture with long standing stage
tradition. i. 1t was the tradition
that tragedy must of necessity be
aristocratic in it's theme and char
acters.. 1T was the domestic
dramatic drama of middle class
people and ordinary social life. (p.
1867.
Where Italian humanists led the
way it was natural that the French
classicists should follow, and if we
turn to Pellitier or Rosnard, to De
Laudun or Vauquelin de la Fresnay,
to Pellet de la Mesnardiere or, most
important of all, to the Able
d'Aubignac, it is only to find the
same conception reproduced with
unvarying uniformity Up. 1927.
"Voltaire, strongly conservative
in this as in so many other ways,
stoutly maintained that tragedy re-
quires characters raised above the
common plane" Up. 1897.
