In 1920 Wilson must be thought to have foreseen the recent conquest of Europe when he warned us: "If we keep out of this agreement, if we re­ fuse to join in underwriting the peace of civilization, then a fresh attempt will be made to crush the small new nations of Europe." As he must also be thought to have foreseen our cur­ rent colossal armament outlay in the same year when he declared: "Iso­ lated we may some day be indeed; and not because we wish to be. When that day comes we shall have to arm to the teeth to preserve our existence." Adams' prophecies occur in his "America's Economic Supremacy" which was published in 1900. Applic­ able almost equally to the first World War and to its renewal, they predict an assault upon Britain by a Conti­ nental Coalition formed for that pur­ pose, and show the inevitability of our becoming involved as an ally of Britain. Many of Adams' images fit "He edits the Gory Gazette." the current pattern closely enough to have been written only yesterday, not forty years ago.

IT was predicted of the Great Philanthropist, "He shall tum the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of children to their fathers." The writer seeks to contribute something toward the development of such mutual afiection between the members of the Pope Family. He has found his own heart tenderly drawn toward all whose names he has registered and whose biographies he has at­ tempted to write. The dead are his own, whose graves he has sought to strew with the tributes of love ; the living are his own, every one of whose careers he now watches with strong interest. He has given a large part of bis recreation hours and vacation time for eight years to the gathering of materials for the work ; written hundreds of letters ; examined a great many deeds and wills, town journals, church registers, and family records ; visited numerous persons and places, and pored over a large number of histories of towns and families ; and has gathered here the items and entries thus discovered.

The Progressive Era Origins of the National Security Act Mark R. Shulman* Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger; real or pretended, from abroad. -James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, May 1798' I. Introduction to "National Security" The National Security Act of 19472 and its successors drew the blueprint of the Cold War domestic political order. This regime centralized control of the military services-the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and a newly separate Air Force-in a single executive branch department. It created a new professional organization to collect and analyze foreign intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency. And at the center of this new national security apparatus, a National Security Council would eventually establish foreign policy by coordinating intelligence and directing military and para-military forces, as well as supervising a National Security Resources Board.

Snelling’s Kabaosa (1842) 1 A Provisional Publishing History and Census Robert Beasecker Director of Special Collections & University Archives Grand Valley State University Libraries A little-known American novel set in the Great Lakes region during the War of 1812, Kabaosa has left a negligible amount of evidence concerning its conception, writing, printing, and ultimate publication. However, in spite of the absence of the author’s manuscript and the printer’s records, a plausible reconstruction of its publication history can be made using the extant documentary evidence as well as an examination of surviving copies of the book itself. What at first glance appeared to be a self-published run-of-the-mill historical romance of marginal literary merit was discovered to have a much more complex and interesting life story.
