Suddenly TO introduce lady standing
on tiptoe in the midst of some scene
representing ancient Egypt is obyi-
ously absurd. And NJ. Boncour would
remodel the ballet on Isadora Duncan
lines. That accomplished lady. by the
way, fresh from new visits to Greece,
is to give a series of dances on the
"Orphee" of Gluck, with the Colonne
orchestra, at the Chatelet theater in
January.
There are various rival schools of
dancing in Paris. What is known as
the classic style-that prevailing at
the OPERAS essentially French in its
origin. But it is difficult to see that
any representation of Etruscan fs-
ures is any more appropriate to the
times than the pirouetting of the OPP
era ballet. Both are purely artificial.
If the ballet is to be brought strictly
within the epoch then il will dance
in hobble skirts presumably and large
hats.

The Shakespeare-Bacon controversy
is not without its interest for the
French. who love intellectual discus
sions of the sort. 1t has even been
held by some that Shakespeare was in
reality a Frenchman, native OF the
old province Of Burgundy. The genius
who emits this theory. says he has
evidence, conclusive and exact. Any
one who has read his works can see,
he declares, that the divine bard was
inspired by good wine of Burgundy.
His name, according to this critic, was
originally Jacque Pierre, which the
English turned into Shakespeare His
family was settled of old in the
French province, but was exiied after
the civil war. So now you know.
The modern Beau Brummel of
France, NJ Andre de Fouquieres, the
most exquisite of twentieth century
handles, the spoiled arbiter of Paris
drawing room taste and country
house festivities, is about to leave
the scene of his triumphs. The Maha-
raja of Kapurthala, who has met him
frequently this season, is one of his
most ardent admirers, and, according
10 rumor has said to him, You have
nothing more to do in this Partisan
rabble of society that has lost all re-
sDect for hierarchy and for delicacies
of tone. You're much too distinguish
ed and refined for France, and | ask
you to come with me to preside over
and organize the fetes that will be
given at the marriage of my daugh-
ter"
And the beautiful M. Andre has &C
cepted, so that Paris salons will know
him not this winter. and there will be
a chance for other aspirants to distin-
guish themselves in 1nventing eccen-
tricities of dress and above all in man
aging cotillons, a branch of the fine
art of manners in which NJ. de Fou-
quieres was SO supreme as to defy
all competition.

UNITED STATES NAVY TO
LEAD THE WORLD.

Secretary of the Navy Meyer has set
before the House Naval fairs Com
mittee his ideas of what This country
should do in the construction Of battle
ships and other war vessels. His pro-
gram is in many respects the most com
prehensive that has yet been seriously
offered by a high and responsible Gov
ernment official 1t is nothing less than
startling and IT viii not be received
without profound thought, if not con
Germ, by the officials of other nations
who are reponsible for the naval
policies of their respective governments.
It was but a few years ago that
Great Britain launched the first Dread
naught The construction of this giant
battleship marked a new era in the
worlds navies. It compelled a trans
formation of naval plans. Since then
every frst-class naval power has set its
face in the direction of achieving a fleet
of giant battleships of the DreadnaUght
type and greater. Not only has this
entailed enormous naval expenditures
with more to come. but it has TO some
extent changed the relative naval
strength of different leading nations. At
a stroke battleships formerly looked on
as of the most formidable sort had to
fall back TO subordinate place. England
to a great extent lost the lead she had
maintained for years over Germany.
Now, it Is seriously proposed TO un-
dertake new program in this coun-
try, a program of stupendous proper
tions. Secretary Meyer proposes a
32OOO-ton bottleship, at a cost of
about SlS.OOO.OOO, and to make the
United States the foremost naval power
of the world. Of course. if a $4,000 ton
vessel were built and proved a success
others would at once follow. This coun-
try would rapidly build others of the
same type. and other nations would be
driven 10 do the same thing OF fall far
behind. The battleship which Mr..
Meyer eontempIates would carry prob
ably l4-inch guns, and would over
whelm the ordinary Drea iGaught as
one of the giant battleships of today
would dcmolish cruiser. Such war
craft would mean larger docks and
deeper hsrbors.
One might afford to scoff at the no
tion of such battleships as Mr.. Meyer
proposes had the last several years not
witnessed naval advances that a decade
ago were unthinkable. But it seems
certain that if this Government in the
near future seriously sets TO work to
build fleet of such leviathans as Mr..
Meyer wants, it viii drive the rest OF
the world nearer TO the dag of disarma-
ment. We may be able to pay the price
and endure il. Possibly England can
and Germany. 1t may he doubted if
any other nation could stagger along
under the burden that would be loaded
upon il.

NOT A SIGN OF RELIEF YET
IN SIGHT.

There was a happy time when the
only man who was interested in
woman's hats was the one who had to
buy them. His principal concern was in
how much he was likely to be set back
by new style. But times have
changed. and so have hats, aud so
have mems ideas of them. The sub
ject has become one which affects man
kind. Needless TO say. it is the size
of the hat which has brought about
the transformation.
We assume it is a safe conclusion
that the State has the right under its
police powers 10 regulate the amount
of room out of doors one hat on one
woman can take up. II ought also
to be able to say when hatpins are
dangerous to innocent byStandcrs. We
do not undertake to say that It will
do anything of the sort. but We lay
down the postulate that it has the
authority. Man in his meekness mar
vels. but he hasn't got the nerve to
act. On street cars he finds vagrant
bits of feathers in his mouth OF makes
grab at something tickling his ear,
only to meet chilly stare which says
palmer than words he's a brute. At
another time he feels something rasp
his neck like a cross-cut saw OF he Is
jabbed by a hatPin sticking out of a
mass of furs, millinery, feathers, beads
and trimmings. Dispatches today tell
of the impaling of a conductor in
/ Springfield. Mass While he was pur-
suing the even tenor of his way ringing
up fsres-"one for you and two for me"
IA woman passenger. we are informed,
turned her head quickly and drove the
point of an eighteen-inch pin which she
wore in her hat into the lobe of the
conductors left ear The conductor,
with his ear transfxed on the hatpin,
howled with pain. but with the aid of
the embarrassed woman the pin was
removed
Man has endured these and other
trials with exemplary patience, but he
has nourished the belief it was i'm
possible that hats would get larger
that the worst was over. But at ar
opening in New York the other day il
was discovered there is nothing to hope
for in the near future. They are still

NEW JERSEY INDICTMENTS
OF BEEF BARONS.

A remarkable legal situation has
been caused by the indictment of the
beef barons of the National Packing
Company by grand jury of Hudson
county in the State of New Jersey.
Prosecutor Garven OF that county has
assailed the directorate of the National
Packing Company under the common
law, and the result is a number of in
dictments of millionaire packers, chiefly
Chicago men. The Chicago packers arc

they practically admit the matter has
its serious side, as they arc preparing

They contend that they have transact
ed no business personally in the State
OF New Jersey. and therefore it Is inn
possible for them to have committed
any crime in that State, although the

Prosecutor Garven is attacking the
National Packing Company and its di-

BALLINGER'S COMPLAINT OF
TREATMENT BY PINCHOT.

Secretary Ballinger, evidently. is in
dignant because of the statements
made before the Investigating commit
tee Yesterday by Clifford Pinchot. he
accuses the deposed forester of at
tempted deception in preparing il ad-
vance and handing to the press his
preliminary statement to the commit
tee. He declares also that Mr.. Pinchot
was not quite reckless enough to
make the statement upon oath.
It would not seem to be necessary for
Mr.. Ballinger to become hystericol at
this stage of the investigation II is
quite desirable that he be consistent
There was nothing novel or Unprece-
deuted in Mr.. Pinchot's action in care
fully preparing his preliminary state
ment It is custom that has obtained
for many years. Presidents of the
United States have found it necessary
to give out in advance important
speeches and messages in order that
they may not be misqUoted. It is fair
to assume that Mr.. PinchOt was actu-
ated by a similar motive He was
making a grave charge. and realizing
the gravity of that charge, desired that
his exact language be used by the
press. The public will fail to detect
any deception in that act.
Secretary Ballinger makes no effort
TO conceal his anger because Mr.. Pin
chot accused him of attempting "to
willfully deceive the President and was
disloyal to him" In the same breath
Secretary BalGnger makes a similar
charge against Mr.. Pinchot. We observe
that Mr.. Ballinger's charge OF deception
and disloyalty was not made under
oath. We also observe that
Mr.. Ballinger did not hesitate to
hand to the press, in exactly the same
fashion as Mr. Pinchot. a statement re-
plying to the charges of that gentle
man.
In other words, Mr.. BaIlinger Is
dIouoeU because OF lne HtLuOuo eul
ployed by Mr.. Pinchot. and thereupon
adopts the Pnchot methods as hi-
own in replying to his accuser. Thi.
paper hitherto has refrained from edi-
torial comment on the significant fea-
trres Of the Investigation now in prog
ress. believing that the case cannot
be fairly iuIged until the evidence Is
al in. This attitude however. does
not prevent Us from calling attention
10 the inconsistency of Mr.. Ballingel
in denouneing AIR. Pinchot for pur-
suing methods which he adopts as hi:
own.
We agree with Mr.. Ballinger that
this Is case which cannot be fought
out in the columns of the press-at
least at this stage of the proceedings
Entertaining that view it IS fair to say
that Mr. Ballinger's charge of deception
on the part of Mr. Pinchot should have
been made before the investigating
committee. the tribunal before which
Mr.. Pinchot made his accusation.
