M., in the Living Room of the Union, when Hamilton Bolt, editor of the Independent, and formerly intimately associated with the American Peace Delegation at Paris, will disclose hitherto unknown facts in regard to "The Origin of the Covenant of the League.

The champions of the idea are palpably sincere, not to say solemn: their intentions are the best in the world, but their psychology is loss to be commended. They do not, that is, admit into their thinking the one fact which is most germane to the subject--namely, that scholarship is in its very nature a pursuit which...
