The connection was completed just before the war, and the eastern terminal of the line was almost immediately destroyed when the town was shelled by British vessels. The German end of the line, now lost to Germany, ran for some 800 miles from to Lake Tanganyika, and a small steamer had been made in Germany and carried in sections over the new railway line to the lake, where it was to be put together and launched to ferry passengers across to the beginning of the Belgian part of the system. The Belgian railway ran from Tanganyika to the upper Congo, passing two unnavigable stretches of the upper river, and from this terminal the traveler continued by steamer to the Atlantic. Few ever made the journey, for the war began within a short time of the completion of the last link. But the next few months are likely to see the development of a steady traffic back and forth across! what was once called the dark continent.

NEW BOOKS (Continued from Page 9.) principle of limitation to the authority of a state other than that set forth in a written constitution which can always be changed in the interests of a majority. For example, is the state justified in imposing a fiat prohibition? If so, then we may presently have a constitutional amendment establishing a church, and demanding adhesion to that church. Mr. Laskis argument is a statement rather than a plea. He skietches for us the history of authority in government and he reminds us of the authoritative voices that have been raised from century to century in the argument. THE SHADOW OF THE PAST. By F. E. Mills Young. New York: George H. Doran Company. HIS is a story of South Africa and of the days immediately preced-i- n and following the beginning of the war. Guy Matheson is a young mining engineer who has just gambled away his whole fortune to a casual acquaintance named Holman. As a Holman uffers mark of to acquit him of half his loss if he will carry for him to some Boers a letter that he is reluctant to good-fellowsh- ip up-countr- y Matheson consents, and spends some weeks at the lonely Dutch ranch, only to discover that Holman is a German agent, and that the letter relates to an expected rebellion against British rule. Incidentally Matheson falls in love with one of the ranch girls and allows himself to forget the other girl whom he left behind in the south and to whom he had partially committed himself, and the squaring of accounts with Holman. the squaring of accounts with Holman. The story reveals the attitude of the Boers and their divided councils during the war. The Boers for the most part remained quiescent. Their leaders, Generals Botha and Smutz, took the field against the Germans. But there was a sullen and rebellious minority, as there is today, and this explosive situation seems to have been well portrayed by the author, who thus combines history with a very readable romance. trust to the mails.
