...strikingly in an increase from 1916 of 244 books devoted to military and naval science. Great Britain produced in 1917 a book total of 8,131 volumes, against 9,149 in 1916. The issue of 782 pamphlets last year suggests a widespread tendency to express the British mind in print. --New York...
...well to read. Mr. Hack has attempted to bring peace to the continually warring Modernist and Humanist parties, but not in any weak, timid spirit--he does not tell these men to stop fighting because the present educational system is correct.

To print this so prominently amounts to saying, "Stay at home, boys; keep your money in your pockets. The Kaiser is afraid of us and wants to quit." Privileges of the press may permit this, but a reasonable sense of patriotism does not. Such a sacrifice of common sense for sensationalism, by creating an unfounded feeling of security and contempt, endangers loan campaigns, recruiting agencies...
