Contributors to the January Atlantic

Frances A. Kellor ("Lo, the Poor Immigrant!"), who writes this article to bring out a different phase of the immigration problem from that considered by Miss Repplier in the Atlantic for September last ("The Modest Immigrant"), is an experienced sociologist, and is ViceChairman of the Committee for Immigrants in America.

Jean Kenyon Mackenzie ("Black Sheep") went out some years ago, as a young woman, to take part in the missionary work of the Presbyterian Church in the German colony of Kamerun, on the west coast of Africa, a district which now features in the newspaper reports as the scene of terrific fighting. Miss Mackenzie's letters to her family and friends at home - which, it is hardly necessary to say, are entirely authentic will be concluded by a brief postscript in the February Atlantic.

John Koren ("Social Aspects of Drink") is a publicist who has been extensively employed as a statistical expert by the United States Government in the investigation of liquor legislation abroad, and was commissioned by the Committee of Fifty to write its memorable report. He was also recently appointed by President Wilson United States Commissioner to the International Prison Commission. Persons who disagree with Mr. Koren's views are advised to read all his Atlantic papers before definitively closing their minds.

Stephen Chalmers ("The Beloved Physician"), himself a member of the Saranac colony, had the good fortune to become intimate with Dr. Trudeau during the last years of the latter's inspiring career.

Laurence Binyon ("Mid-Atlantic") has achieved a two-fold reputation as a poet and as an authority on the art of the East. Mr. Binyon, who has recently returned from ambulance-driving in France, is in charge of the department of Oriental Prints and Drawings in the British Museum.

W. L. George ("Further Notes on the Intelligence of Woman"), besides being a novelist of ability, is one of the chief spokesmen of the English feminists. His investigation of woman's intelligence began in the December issue.

W. J. Ashley ("Germany and Cotton"), Professor of Commerce since 1901, and Dean since 1902, of the Faculty of Commerce in the University of Birmingham, England, is one of the foremost British students of German commercial conditions. The present article was invited by the Atlantic in order to enlighten Americans as to the degree to which the British blockade has been inspired by actual necessities of war. Prof. Ashley's views may be fairly taken to represent the best expert opinion in Great Britain.

J. W. Headlam ("The Balkans and Diplomacy "), Staff Inspector of Secondary Schools for the Board of Education in England, is interesting to a wide public on account of his exceedingly able analysis of the diplomatic negotiations at the outbreak of the present war, entitled "The History of Twelve Days."

Roland G. Usher ("Can Sea Power Decide the War?") is Professor of History at Washington University, St. Louis, and author of PanGermanism and Pan-Americanism.

MANY ATLANTIC READERS ARE DISAPPOINTED

The Gorham

Business

Started with forks and spoons

In fact, in the nomenclature of the table, Gorham Tableware is almost as well known as Irish Linen and French Cuisine.

There is in every fork and spoon we make, 85 years of cumulative experience to ensure the quality and enrich the design.

And speaking of designs, perhaps the only fault with the Gorham selections is that the variety is apt to embarrass the choice!

There are twenty-seven different and distinct patterns and each interprets some historical epoch or influence with the fidelity of a genuine affection.

But however the patterns and prices may vary in no-
Wise affects the quality of Gorham workmanship, which
is best described as a habit of excellence which we
will not overcome!
