...February number of the Monthly does not loss in interest though it presents a surprising contrast to the "Pagan" issue of last month. The figures and sentiments of antiquity no longer flit through its pages; they are replaced by comparatively modern and sordid actualities; like the U. S. Foreign Policy, the "Movie" and the Theatre and the Harvard Regiment. The prevailing note of the number is non-fictional; indeed, the only serious criticism that can be brought against the Monthly of 1916 is the absence of anything particularly creative in the realm of the short story...
...outlook for business for the first four months of 1916 is in striking contrast to that prevailing this time last year.

The spirit of Russia which Pavlowa seems to embody so wonderfully was a little out of season, but her performance was of such perfection that it was complete in itself. With what subtlety and marvelous grace she expresses that terrible Russian contrast a wild, rhapsodical indulgence, and an all-impregnating, heart-rending despair...
...question of whether personal sympathies should be considered rather than the prestige of American policies. Those in favor of the question suggested that, at heart the United States should be on the side of the Allies, for the governments of Great Britain and France are democratic and liberal in contrast to the Hohenzollern beaurocracy of Germany. The vote at the end of the debate was 47 to 21 against the resolution, which was practically the original stand of the audience before the Forum opened...
