The Chicago Daily News has sent us a privately issued

edition of World Chancelleries, being articles by Mr. Edward Price Bell on the statesmen of Europe. As this book is not available to the general public, we can only quote the following from the introduction by Mr. Coolidge, " In these carefully wrought statements of sentiment and opinion we have . . . a peculiarly suggestive and important achievement in the field of international conciliation." We congratulate the Chicago Daily News on this very fitting tribute to the memory of their great editor and proprietor, Mr. Victor Lawson : the essays provide us with a very bright and interesting picture of men controlling the fate of nations.
