The Greater Tragedy. By Benjamin Apthorp Gould. (a. P. Put-

nam's Sons. $1 net.)—Mr. Gould, an American living in Canada, is an enthusiast in the cause of the Allies, and maintains that on both moral and material grounds his country should join us in the war. " Tho victorious Entente will after the war be absolutely supreme in the world." " For our own advantage in commercial prosperity, it is of vital import that we should be within this charmed circle. . . . There is nothing morally wrong in our aligning ourselves with them, for they represent the same aspirations which we represent." As for Germany, " the machine-worshipper shall end crushed by the god he builded."
