MR. NORMAN ANGELL.

The appearance of Mr. Norman Angell on the lecture platform at Harvard should call forth no less than a full house in Emerson D. The man who has treated a topic of such vital importance in this age of acute attention to questions of political science, with such a combination of inspired prophetic zeal and scientific accuracy that he has seen it translated into sixteen foreign tongues and run through four American editions in this short time, deserves the greatest attention. Pacifists or belligerents we may be, we cannot escape the question "Why is war?" Mr. Angell has received attention from the press in all quarters of the globe from St. Petersburg to Rio Janiero, from Tokio to Boston. The opinions as to his thesis that war is a grand illusion vary but they all agree that he must be taken seriously. If, as has been said, America is leading the world to peace Harvard cannot claim to lead America in intellectual and spiritual progress and not give Mr. Angell a hearing.
