The World War and its Consequences. By W. H. Hobbs.
(Putnam. 12s. 6d. net.)—Mr. Roosevelt, shortly before his death, commended these lectures delivered by Professor Hobbs at Pitt burgh as an accurate account of the reasons w y the Allies took up arms to resist Germany and of the conditions that delayed America's entrance into the war. We have read the book with much interest. The argument is well supported with quotations and references that retain their value. Professor Hobbs, as may be guessed, has no liking for President Wilson ; he laments the President's failure to form a Coalition Cabinet and eschew party politics during the war, and he shows no respect for the " Fourteen Points." It is just as well for English people to know what the President's opponents thought about the war and the peace terms a year ago, now that they are, politically, in the ascendant at Washington.
