STILL INVESTIGATING.

The testimony before the War In
vestigating Committee makes clear
every hour that war is Il business and
must be conducted on business prin-
ciples. 1T is just as difficult to put an
army of 80, 900 raw recruits into the
field. and do effective work with them,
as it is to engage 100000 sailors as
bricklayers and set up fine buildings
with their bungling hands.
But the great nation forgot all about
these conditions. In the life of this
nation. the greatest war of the cen
fury, its own Civil war, was of yes
terday only But its memory did not
reach back to yesterday. The people
ordered an army, just as suit of
ready-made clothes is ordered, and it
does not fit Here is a nation defying
its own, and all other human expert
ence.
Some one cleverly says the business
of the hour now is to enlist ''scape

the real "scape goat is the people
that. through their own Congress had
forbidden the creation OF a military
staff.
AS it will be seen elsewhere in the
dispatches from Washington, no sur
gicaI staff can make Roadway with in
difference on the part of the soldiers,
and the want of training by the Off
GERS. The prevention of sickness and
disease in the camps is an executive
act. Every officer of the line is ex-
pected to know something about the
simple and easily executed sanitary
ways of arranging camps. The COM
monest soldier in the British army,
and in our own regular army, knows
how to take care of himself. Enlisted
men, who have passed the physical eX-
aminations, need no doctors or sur
geons excepting in rare cases, and
upon the battlefield. General Kitch-
ener in his marvellous march to the
Soudan was as much a sanitary in
spector as a warrior. The Arabs lay
10 the south, but the Microbes infested
his camps at every moment. He killed
the Microbes first. and then the Arabs.

THE DRAMA AND LITERATURE.
difference Between spoken and
Written Literature.


Written Literature.
The painters have long protested
against any judgment of their work in
accordance with the principles Of an
other art, and at last they have succeed
ed in convincing the more open-minded
If US that what is Of prime importance
in a picture is the way in which it is
painted. and that its merely literary
merit is quite secondary. They are not
unreasonable when they insist that the
chief duty Of picture is TO represent a
visible world. and not TO point mora.
or adorn tale. and that in the appre-
citation Of picture we must first weigh
all of its pictorial beauty. Nor are the
sculptors asking too much when in a
statue they want us 10 consider chiefly
its plastic beauty.
Now. the orator and the dramatist
ask for themselves what has been grnnt-
ed the painter and the sculptor-they
request that an Grafton or a drama
shall be judged not as literature only,
but In accordance with the principles
of its own art. And here the literary
critic Is even less willing TO yield. He
may acknowledge his own Ignorance
of perspective and of pigments. of com
position and of modelling; be may con-
fess that here the painter and the
sculptor have him at a disadvantage.
but he is not ready to admit that he
is not to apply his own standards to the
works of the orator and of the dra-
matist. On the contrary, he maintains
that the speech and the play, il they be-
long to literature at all, are by that very
fact, absolutely within the province OF
the literary critic. He cannot see WHY
that which the orator and dramatisi
may write is not to be read and criti-
cised exactly as that which is written
by the novelist and the essayist and the
poet. Indeed. il is almost a misrepre-
sentation of the literary critics atti-
tude to suggest that he has need to
maintain this position. for II is rarely
even limited to him that he is not fully
justified In employing the same tests in
every department of literature.
Yet nothing ought 10 be clearer than
the distinction between the. written
word and the spoken between the
literature which is addressed to the
eye alone and that which is intended
primarily for the ear. and only second
nrily for the eye. IL is the difference
between words written once for all and
words first spoken and then written
or at least written so that they may be
spoken. When this distinction is seized
it follows that oral discourse is net
necessarily to be measured on the same
scale as written discourse. 1t follows
also that the speech and the play may
be very good, indeed, each in its kind
although they may fail to attain the
standard of strictly literary merit
which we should demand in an essay.
