Tho only suggestion which Senators wcro criticising today was thnt referring to munitions shipments. Carried out to the limit suggested, It would result in nn embnrgo on munitions shipments on this hemisphere.

It Is expected thnt at the flnnl session of the Pan-Amcrlcnn congress on Satur day resolutions specltlcnlly Indorsing the suggestions of President Wilson will he adopted and that tho vnrlous delegates will pledge themselves to gain favorable action on the pinna by their home Gov ernments.

Hut It rcmnlned for "That Night nnd Other Satires" (Hearst's International Library Compnny, Now York), to collect the best of these between two covers, , The nuthor has the real sense of satire. There Is thnt keen Insight Into the para doxes of humnn life which marks the true critic, nnd there Is no trace of acid ity to make his comments distasteful, lie Is fnr from bclnf? n cynic.
