AUTHOR'S NOTE



  The drama here published is logically the third in
a series of racial dramas, as follows:

     i. The Saxons
     2. The Slavs
     3. The Americans
     4.  The flindoos

  Of this series The Saxons, dealing with man's strug-
gle for religious liberty, has already been published.
For reasons that need not be given, it has been thought
best to postpone The Slavs, which will present man's
battle for political liberty, and offer The Americans,
the theme of which is the industrial conflict that is
now raging. The Hindoos, a drama of spiritual un-
foldment, will come in its order.
