Dr.  Herron's  interpretation  of  President  Wilson  in
"Woodrow  Wilson  and  the  World's  Peace"  is  almost,
if  not  quite,  a  masterpiece.  To  have  read  Brand  Whit-
lock  or  parts  of  Ida  Tarbell  on  Lincoln  at  the  time  that
Lincoln  lived  and  was  engaged  in  his  great  work  dur-
ing the  civil  war  would  have  been  no  greater  treat  to
those  then  living  than  to  now  read  George  D.  Herron's
interpretation  of  Woodrow  Wilson  a^  the  world's  lead-
er in  the  present  crisis.
This  book  was  first  written  in  parts  for  different
periodicals  in  Italy,  England  and  Switzerland  and  it  is
already  recognized  that  the  articles  as  they  then  ap-
peared did  much  to  present  America  in  its  true  per-
spective to  the  people  of  those  countries,  particularly
in  Switzerland.
"The  Menace  of  Peace"  is  a  brilliant  and  lucid  dis-
cussion of  the  futility  of  a  peace  without  complete  vic-


tory and  "Germanism  and  the  American  Crusade"  is  a
very  small  volume  of  an  address  delivered  by  Dr.  Her-
ron to  the  theological  students  of  Geneva,  Switzerland,
interpreting  to  them  the  real  basis  of  the  conflict  be-
tween the  German  military  autocracy  and  the  demo-
cratic conception  of  the  western  world  as  typified  in
America,
