ANCIENT AND MODERN
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
' IN WORLD HISTORY
The Project Discussed in All
Its Bearings by Specialists
in Law and History
A compilation of sixteen pssajg on
tlip league of nations by experts in his
tory nnd International lav, under the
editorship of I'rof. Stephen Pierce Dug
Knli. of the College of the Cltr of New
". appears most opportunely -inc
book is prepared primarily for the in-
formation of the intelligent layman who
Mm to understand the question In nil
'"Bearings.
The introduction, devoted to a gen
eral surtej of the field, is written by
Professor Duggnn. President Lowell,
of Harvard University, wrlteu on the
organization nnd operation of a league
of nations, nnd Prof. John Bassett
Moore, of Columbia University, sets
forth the essentials of a league to en
force peace. An excellent summar of
the historical bnrkground of the lenguc
is contributed bj Prof. Cnrlton J. H.
llnjs, also of Columbia. Professor
Rogers, of the University of Virginia,
writes of the problem of the limitations
which the league will Impose on the
sovereignty of, its members. The llmi
tntion of armaments is discussed by
Prof. F. A. Ogg. of .the University of
Wisconsin, nnd Prof. Francis B. Snrc,
of Harvard, writes of International ad
ministration in its historical aspects anil
with relation o Its application to the
pioblems of the league. International
co-operation as applied to the problems
of small nations, to the economic life
of all nations, to colonies, to wnter
wajs, railways and other highways, to
labor and to the freedom of the seas
N discussed by men who have given
careful study to the subject and con
siderable space is gien to nn examina
tion of the relation of the United States
to the league with especial reference to
our policy of isolation and to the effect
of the league upon the Monr.oc Doc
trine. There is on appendix containing
Abbe Saint-Pierre's plan for a funda
mental treaty for preserving the peace
of Kurope, Immaiiuel limit's plan for
perpetual peace, the Holy Alliance

the leagiie-of-natlnns covenant.
The book is a scholarly and sjmpa
thetie examination of the subject in all
its aspects. It can be commended to
the attention of serlous-inlnded readers
who wish to broaden their knowledge.

FLOWERING ROMANCE
"The Year Between" Runs Its
Length in Fiction From Aus
tralia to Gallipoli
Doris Egerton Jones has written an
interesting novel In "The Year Be
tween." Thp title is syinbolleal of thc
ripening in life's was and in experi
ence of life of a particularly appealing
heroine and the fruition of love which
succeeds the burgeoning of romance.
January Ellice. even nt the middle -teens
age at which she is introduced,
is n iacious, witching little body. She
is a waif of thc Australian bush. In
a gold camp of West Australia she mar
ries a rakish young mining engineer, and
her portion instead of being the joy
aunce of jouth. is trial apd sorrow. Bo
munce comes into her difficult existence
through the glowing personality of John
Beresford, a good deal older than Jan
uary, whose loo for her is great, but
is exceeded by his sense of honor. He
will not match his worldly knowledge
and sophistication against her imma
turity in the world's ways and her
naivete of temperament. He goes to
war with the Anzacs and wins distinc
tion nt riallipoli.
His return to Australia brings real
love at last into January' life. Her
tangled matrimonial skeins are un-
aicled, nnd Bcresford is happily woven
into the fabric of her future,

. i , T
Thorstein Veiled Gets Under
the Skin and Into the
Spirit in Treatise
A long time ngo some epigrnmatlst
observed that corporations had no heart
to be touched and no soul to be damned,
to which a colleague added, no place to
be kicked. Brand Whitlork, In one of
his most admirable stories, "Fowler
Brunton, Attornej -at-Law," concluded
that corporations were all mind, cud ,
so they must perforce have a psychology.
The corporation, as an abstraction, is a
sort of intellectual creation built by
legal Frnnkcnsteins out of the original
eighteen fine prlhted pages which suf
ficed Blackstone- to set forth the be
all nnd cndfnll of the bodv corporate as
he understood it. Those few pages have
bred whole law libraries, to say noth
ing of endless volumes of stntuten.
Thorstein Veblen, liberal, has psKho
ana1)7cd corporations as a part of "The
Vwted Interests," under which title Is
collected his papers in "The Dial" on
"The Modern Point of View nnd the
New Order." The book publication
permits expatlatlnn on some points. The
original papers follow the argument of
a series of lectures delivered at Amherst.
The scope of the volume is shown In
a few words of the author: ','Thls lol
unie shows how and why a discrepant'
has nrisen bettwen those orcppti'd prin
ciples of law nnd custom that underlie
business enterprise nnd the businesslike
mnnngement of industry, on the onp
hand, and the material conditions, which
hae now been engendered by thnt new
order of industry that took its rise in
the late eighteenth century, on the other
hand; together) with some speculation on
the M1 and political difficulties set
afloot by this discrepancy between
business and Industrj." The author
takes advanced ground in ills thinking.
Other things besides capitalism, cor
porations and M'sted rights from the
business standpoint are considered in
this stimulating little book for instance
nationality, imperialism and self-determination,
all of which are related to
Mr. Veblen's mnjor thesis.

ATHLETES ALL
Walter Camp Writes Excellent
Booh on Value of Athletics
Walter Camp adds another epistle
to his gospels of thc healthy life in
"Athletes All." This, book Is far more
than a mere plea for athleticism. Ex
ercises. gunnasticH. games all that are
expiessed or connoted in the embrarive
term "athletics" are as Mr. Camp has
indicated nn manv occasions, not the
goal itself, but soleh the inrled and
efficient means to be employed toward
achleilng a desired nnd highly desirnble
end. To his mind, too, formal, nnd
by that token, somewhat lifeless inoe
ments and Iterations, however importnnt
they may be In making or developing
muscle, aie not the most inluable
agencies for phjslcal betterment. There
fore he stresses the value of group par
ticipation in games, etc., nnd the mine
of the grent outdoors ns an environ
ment. Howetcr. he does not disdain
ghlng informative instructions in va
rious sorts of exercises. He also ex
plains the organization of athletics in
schools, clubs and other community
groups. He advocates, hcartil.t. partici
pation in health -ghlng recreation of
business and professional men and other
workers. ccti or more strictly speaking,
especially when the) have passed the
flush of jouth. This book is an ex
cellent preachment on the "sound both"
as a setting for the "sound mind," but
it is never preach.

The Erotic Motive
The application of the Freudian
theory of dreams to the interpretation
and explanation of literature is the
subject of an arresting book by Albert
Mordell. He calls it "The lirotle .no-
tive In Literature." and he professes
to find in most unexpected quarters.
revelations of sex motive and sex sjm
bollsm. Longfellow and Browning, not usu
ally regarded as eroticists, Mr. Mor-1
dell tel's us were influenced even more
than the) knew bj their sex life in
what the wrote and the wn the)
wrote it. "How they brought the good1
news from Ghent to Aix, for example,
he says is an erotic poem. Ills ex
planation of this is found in his theory
that literature is a personal voice,
the source of which can be tract'd to the
unconscious. He sa.vs that we have
even the most bestial instincts in a
rudimentary stage and that they are
revived, to our surprise, not oui) in
mil Hrenms. hut in our waking thoughts
and also occasional! in our conduct. '
The sediment of this primitive life
appears in man) books without the au
thor being aware of the fact, and "thus
a deterministic influence prevnils in
literature." Mr. Mordell elaborates his
theory with examples from many liter
atures. Whether one agrees with him
or not bii book; will be fascluatlug
to the student of p8)cbolog).

Confiscation Defended
The Inherftanro tax is justified on the
theory that the state has the right to
decide how much or how little that a
man has accumulated he may trans
mit to his heirs. There is a school of
thinkers, impressed by the practice of
the state In taking lor pumic use a cer
tain percentage of a decedent's estate,1
who urge that tne staic biiouici raue n
all.
Harlan Eugene Read belongs to this
school. In "The Abolition of Inheri
tance" he hns written a plea for the
seizure by the state ot all property; in
the possession of a man at the time of
his death. He asserts it to be a human
right "that all workers are entitled to
all reward; land all transfer of money
without service, in whatsoever form
audi transfer takes, is a direct viola
tion of that right." Ills book is an
elaboration of this proposition. It de
