...that of Mr. Fisher, on "Our Military Problem"--shows considerable information and sound reasoning. The style is straight-forward and vigorous, and whether the conclusion is right or wrong, the argument is of a kind that deserves a hearing. "The Verge of War," by Mr. Rogers, is in the main a sober account of the necessities of the present situation.
