0 S. MOST ITIM TELY
PROF. ANDREW McLAUGHLIN EX-
PLAINS CONNECTIONS OF
TWO NATIONS
"Great Britian' is the nation with
which we have the most intimate phy-
sical relation, and our interests are
strong when theirs are supported,"
stated Prof. Andrew C. McLaughlin of
the University of Chicago, in a lecture
delivered yesterday afternoon in Hill
auditorium.
"If an conflict arises between Great
Britain and the United States it will
be due to the obeying of a selfish in-
stinct of one of these nations. If we
do not quarrel with, Great Britain,
it will mean that the old feudal prob-
lems have been abandoned for better
and more civilized methods."
Cadets of the R. 0. T. C., and mem-
bers of the Law and Medical schools
attended in a body. Professor Mc-
Laughlin is head of the history de-
partment at the University of Chi-
cago and a f rmer member of the his-
tory faculty of the University of Mich-
igan.
Traced History of England
The speaker, after giving a few
texts, traced the history of England
and the United States from the sev-
enteenth century. "At that time,
Prussia was no bigger than a man's
hand on the horizon," Professor Mc-
Laughlin stated. "In order to un-
derstand the principles for which the
whole civilized world is fighting, it is
necessary to review the circumstances
which lead up to the present war."
Britain had a corrupt political sys-
tem, but showed signs of improvement
during the seventeenth centry, accord-
ing to the speaker. He pointed out
that the revolution in America was a
shock to the British, but the "fortress-
es of feudalism showed signs of weak-
ening." '
Britain's Chief Jewel
"The American revolution is one
of the chief jewels in the imperial
diadem of Great Britain," said the lec-
turer. "In the decades of the nine-
teenth century, one fact showed itself
to the world and to Great Britain,
namely, America was actually making
a success of democracy. Bismarck
stamped democracy out of Prussia 60
years ago. "
In tracing the history of the last
century, the speaker pointed out that
it was an open struggle between the
old forces of Britain and new liberal-
ism, or the seeds of democracy. Little
by little democracy gained a foot-
hold, and in 1910 England frankly
stood forth to protect the popular in-
stitutions and other high ideals of
humanity.
"There is as strong a democratic
feeling in England as in the Unite'
States at the present time, despite
the factthat some positionsmare given
to persons of high birth," Professor
McLaughlin stated. "The British are
allowed to shape their own destinies.
U. S. Had Touch of Despotsm
"The United Stats had a slight touch
of despotism when it took over the
states of Texas, California, and the
territory bordering Mexico, and when
it introduced the Monroe doctrine.
It was also blackened by slavery I
"Slavery can be found everywhere .
Slavery is a weed that grows in every
soil. Germany is still cherishing brut-
al compulsion and conquest. Ger-
many and her allies must be totally
crushed or allowed to show the sup-
eriority of Kultur," the speaker con-
cluded.
YOUNG WOMEN'S AUXILIARY
PRESENTS TWO SHORT COMEDIES
Washington's birthday was observed
last night at the Methodist church by
the Young Women's auxiliary which
presented two comedy playl=ts, "The
Love of Mary Jane and Benjamin" and
"The Deestreek Skool."
In addition to the plays, Mrs. Frieda
Westerman gave several readings, and
Hazel L. Allman, of the School of Mu-
sic, gave a piano solo. The Hawaiian
quartet also furnished music for the
occasion.

THE TWICE AMERICAN, by Eleanor
M. Ingram.-J. B. Lippincott com-
pany.
An ambitious little newsboy of New
York who, by a series of strange ad-
ventures, comes to South America,
makes a name for himself as a states-
man, his guiding force ever the mem-
ory of the tiny aristocrat who gave
him her white shoes because he was
cold-such is the theme of Eleanor
Ingram's highly romantic novel, "The
Twice American." How Dom David
Noel goes about to win the fame and
fortune that he has sworn must be his
before he will return in search of his
little princess, and his strange meeting
with her, make up the threads from
which the story is woven.
The most surprising thing about the
book is its fluctuating weakness and
strength. For example, the portraits
of the principal characters are poor-
ly painted and leave us with only a
very negative impression, while that
of Corey Bruce, of relatively small
importance, is excellently done, and
probably the best feature of the book.
Furthermore, at times the develop-
ment of the plot is so painfully ap-
parent that we chafe at the delay in
its unfolding, while at others we are
taken entirely by surprise.
On the whole, the tale is interest-
ing reading, although it is often a
trifle melodramtic, and rather too co-
incidental to be convincing. The
descriptions, for the most part, are
well drawn, and the scenes in the pris-
on at Rio Nabuco are especially good.
