I intervened, separated the snarling trio, had my right hand mangled. Said I, later: 'I was the only one bitten in the fray. All the dogs emerged unhurt...

The revolution has been on the whole successful from every point of view; the Atlantic Monthe Harper's and Scribner's have emerged from the fray with larger circulations and a new vitality. Brilliant covers and a lack of pictures have attracted fresh cohorts and won back many of the deserters. The chief factor, however, has been the growing belligerency and inquisitiveness of the magazines; no longer do they remain discreetly silent on religious, political and social...
