to be rather than to state it as it is: to preach theories and abstractions having slight practical relation to the facts of international existence.

It is greatly to be hoped that the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace will be prepared to lend its great influence still further in support of a profound, dispassionate, scholarly investigation and analysis of the many tremendous problems affecting international relations and the law which must govern these relations. This volume on Nationalism and War in the Near East is a valuable contribution to the subject.

PHILIP MARSHALL BROWN.

O Brasil e seus principios de neutralidade (Brazil and her Principles of Neutrality). By Helio Lobo. Rio de Janeiro: Imprensa nacional. 1914. pp. 140.

The excellent organization and permanent character of the Brazilian diplomatic service have not merely borne fruit in that great republic's various diplomatic triumphs, many of which have marked signal advances in the application of international law and the judicial settlement of international disputes, but have also furnished the literature of modern international law with several pertinently interesting monographs, whose carefully analytic preparation renders them not merely useful as indicating the viewpoint of the largest in area of the American republics on many international law questions, but also valuable as compilations from state papers and diplomatic correspondence along varied lines. Helio Lobo is one of the ablest of the young Brazilian diplomatic authors. In his previous work, O Tribunal Arbitral BrasilieroBoliviano (The Brazilian-Bolivian Arbitration Tribunal) published at Rio de Janeiro in 1910, he outlined the peaceful settlement and negotiation of one of the oldest and most important of modern boundary disputes which has been settled by arbitration, and in his O Brasil e seus principios de neutralidade (Brazil and her principles of neutrality) he illustrates other instances of the settlement of irritating international incidents by arbitral discussion.

He endeavors to prove his thesis as set forth in the preface,—that Brazil's constant and very strict compliance with the principles of neutrality, which, whether active or passive, are governed by certain rules and methods of procedure, and which have always been maintained whenever occasion arose, by citations from official documents and concise explanations of the eleven different instances when the

American Republic with the most frontiers, both terrestrial and maritime, has been obliged to issue neutrality proclamations or declarations. Chapters IV and V are of particular interest to United States readers, as they give us the Brazilian viewpoint of the cases of the Sumter, Georgia, Alabama and Florida in our own war between the States.

Chapter VII illustrates an interesting phase of inter-American diplomacy of the eighteen-sixties, while Chapter VIII, dealing with the cases of the capture and conveyance to Rio de Janeiro on September 14, 1870, of the German merchantmen Lucie and Concordia by the French man-of-war Hamelin, reads singularly like some of the discussions evoked by the present war in Europe. The above vessels are conveniently referred to as "German" although the "Minister of Prussia and the North German Confederation" conducted the diplomatic negotiations at Rio de Janeiro on their behalf, as the German Empire had not yet then been founded. The Hamelin left her two merchant prizes in Rio de Janeiro and sailed therefrom on September 23d, without even leaving on board them a crew sufficient to prepare them to go to sea after their cargo had been discharged. Their cargo consisted of neutral merchandise destined for Rio de Janeiro. In short, not merely were the prizes totally abandoned, but the inherent obligations of the captor were neglected. On October 13th the French cruiser Bruix, acting under official instructions, came to Rio, placed a crew on the prizes and took them back to France, in spite of the protests of the Brazilian Government. After the war, in 1872, the French Government acknowledged the mistake of the commanding officer of the Hamelin in abandoning the prizes in Rio harbor, satisfaction being thereby given to the Brazilian Government.

The lack of an index slightly impairs the usefulness of this otherwise interesting and valuable treatise, which the author's wide knowledge of his country's diplomatic relations has rendered a timely contribution to one of the most pressing problems of modern interenational law.
