La Guerra auk la Hietoria y is Cicada. By Enrico
Piccione. (Santiago de Chile: Antigua Inglesa.)—Chile has remained neutral in the w•ar, but she has not been left in ignorance of the great issues at stake. Signor Piccione, an Italian resident who writes in Spanish, explains in this interesting volume the reasons why Italy went to war, and the motives which induced so many nations to join France, Belgium, Serbia, and Russia in resisting aggression. Incidentally Signor Piccione points out to the Chileans a fact which has escaped Mr. Henderson—namely, that the German Majority Socialists are convinced Imperialists, and that some of them have championed the right of Germany to reduce Europe to bondage in terms as plain as those of the Pan-German officials, Generals, and men of business. The book is well illustrated, and in its later pages gives particulars of thd philanthropic work done by the Allied colonies in Chile for the relief of the sick and wounded in the war,
