...present number of the Graduates' Magazine is an interesting one, particularly by reason of the large number of books by Harvard men appearing in the advertisements, in the lists of books received, and in the reviews. They should answer for many the rising question of "What Shall I Give for Christmas?" One of the most timely titles is Professor E. C. Pickering's "Opposition of Eros in 1914."

...evidently assailable not only through her own ports but through ours. The accident of American neutrality need no more interfere with German plans than the accident of Belgian did. That a German military expedition against Canada by way of Boston or New York might probably be disastrous is no reason why it should not be attempted. That America would permit it is unthinkable.
