ntimately than
it has been permitted most writers to do, and in consequence the
descriptions which he gives of the German, or French, or English, or
Russian attitude are truer and more complete than those found in
previous studies of the war. Mr. Baldwin's statements are calm and just
in conclusion. When discussing the German side he has included all of
the factors which the Germans think important, and assimilated wholly
the German feeling, as he has done in his considerations of the other
countries.

present one of her problems, it receives its due consideration. It has
been, however, Mr. Graham's intention to supply the very definite need
that there is for enlightenment in English and American circles as to
the Russian nation, what its people think and feel on great world
matters. On almost every country there are more books and more concrete
