with and maintains that it should announce clearly and unequivocally the intention to have recourse to armed force. He, of course, reproaches the Japanese for their conduct at Port Arthur. A traveling fellowship carrying a stipend of 4000 marks has been awarded by the University of Berlin to Edward Heymann, a German referendar. The appointee is required to take up the study of the administration of the criminal law in foreign states and make a report thereon. The fund was provided by the later Professor Berner whose recent death was recorded in a recent number of this REVIEW and who in his later life took a deep interest in the movement for the reform of German criminal law. Two recent monographs dealing with the procedure of amending the constitution, particularly of the German Empire, are Dr. Georg Jellinek's Verfassungsänderung und Verfassungswandlung (Haring, Berlin), and Wilhelm Weise's Verfassungsänderungen nach Reichsrecht (Marcus, Breslau). Both authors distinguish between conscious alteration of the formal text through deliberate legal methods or revolution and changes which modify the meaning of the constitution without altering formally the text. Jellinek maintains that changes of the latter character may come from interpretation by the parliament, by the administration and by the courts as well as through political necessity and non-exercise of constitutional powers. Weise seems to admit the possibility of change through the operation of custom (Gewohnheitsrecht). A new German publication of especial interest to students of political science has been announced to issue its first number in October, the Archiv für Rechts- und Wirthschaftsphilosophie. It is to be edited by Prof. Josef Kohler of the University of Berlin, with the assistance of Dr. Fritz Berolzheimer of Munich.
