Those who opon It ami begin at tho beginning have to wado through a chapter which Is porhaps fuller of literary affecta tions than any other chapter wo have over road. "This will bo news to tho majority of Amorlcan book rovlowors, who, not having any other opoch-maklng book to write about during tho Summer, havo filled tholr columns with paeans or pralso of Mr. Harrison's book." I am Inclined to sldo with the Ameri can rovlcwcrs, after having heard "V. V.'s Eyes" read aloud In truo Summer piazza fashion. Tho London critic may well complain or Mr. Harrison's stylo, bo cause the yollng American author Is doing nothing more of less than boating tho Victorians nt their own game. His chap ter headings al-0 lengthy and dollclous and tho "literary affections" add humor ous piquancy to tho Style which could not bo sacrificed.

Either President Wilson or Victoriano Ilurrla must back down. Either the United Stales of America or the present occupant of the blood-stained presidential chair in Mexico will have to recede from a position deliber ately taken and therefore vital in the negotiations. If President Wilson shall insist on his contention that Huerla must personally pledge himself not (o seize or accept after the Mexi can October election or nt any other time (lie oHlce he now usurps, tho one great and necessary preliminarv to Mexican pacification will have been taken and securely held. If President Wilson shall waive his already expressed demand, this nation is shamed in the hearts of its people and in the eyes of the world, and midnight murder and the dynamiting of bridges will continue to be the Mexican title-deeds to power. The honor of two nations, the life of one, the interests of human ity all over the world now hang in the balance.
