arisen who. if they have not rivalled his at
the best, have come more into popular notice than
he and some one Of whom might easily rank with
the average laureate Of the past. If. however the
King should decide to leave the place untitled, TO

little regret and that would not be by any means
the most striking iconoclasm that we have seen in

The Latest American Invasion.

'ro trot or not to trot" is the great question cry
ing for answer in England to-day. Judging by Mr.
Punch and The Spectator and the columns Of let
ters In the London papers, even the militants have
been forgotten before this new and thrilling prob
lem.
oddly enough Punch views the nasty American
dances" with solemn disfavor, while The Spectator
pirouettes youthfully and witty in their defence.
The point Of view of the latter is that nearly all
dances are capable of vulgarlty or offence of some
kind" and that none of the current dances" are
necessarily vulgar.
Also THE Spectator" rummages through its an
Gent memory for some very pretty parallels Few
new dances have become popular, it asserts with
out the Cassandras prophesying that the end Of de-
cency was at hand" The structures Of Byron the
waltz have often been quoted-they are certainly a
great deal more suggestive than the dance itself.
The poor, innocent frisky polka shared equal
fate when it first appeared in England. Let us
quote from letter written by Lady Elizabeth Spen-
ser Stanhope in the year 1912:
LADY Elizabeth gave a very successful ball. where
for the first time in London the polka was danced
rout-seats TO watch it. . . Mr.. Theodore Hook
declared that 1.-The obnoxious dance calculated 10
lead to the most icentous consequences" .
subsequently THE Sporting Magazine" de-
nounced the dance when, 10 the disgrace OF sense
and taste has obtruded itself into the whole circle
of the fashionable world. a VIII -corruptng
dance a compound Of immodest gesture and
infectious poison"
Nor we're such shocked sensibilities restricted to
the advent of the round dances When the quadre
first crossed the Channel it in for all kinds Of
criticism There could be nothing more nnocuous

cestor of the insipd lanciers

more on the international field, and now, two days
before the struggle, he is laid Town with broken
collarbone.
The effect of this latest blow may not he den
nitely foreseen but II is to shake the conn
dence of those not closely in touch with the team
even more than the surprising announcement three
days ago that the big four had been torn asunder
and that four players would take the field against
the challengers without that practice together so
absolutely necessary to the development OF proper
team effort.
Mr. Keene is past master in the technique OF
polo and because Of his individual brilliancy and
almost intuitve powers to solve the attack of oppo-
nents was counted on TO make up for the lack Of
work which the players have had together Now the
team must get along without him, and the outlook
for victory on Tuesday is not bright as to require
the use Of smoked glasses.

The Slashine American Game.

The two victories in singles chaked up TO Amer
tca's credit in the tennis contest were victories
both of individual proves and Of American method
And the victory of the Australians in doubles after
Yesterdays shower. on wet courts and with dead
ball detracts nothing from the truth of this oDSer-
walton.
Both Mclaughlin and Williams will probably play
better tennis for both are young and ready TO
learn Yet even now they rank with the very best
masters in the history of the game either here or in
England The young Californian has developed
the smashing game to its limit Probably we have
never had a better man overhead, and in his case
the service can be classed almost smash. Will
Jams has achieved sounder strokes off the ground
and to this extent may be said to have taken leaf
ont of the English book But his game is essen
tally American, at that, and his victory over his
careful Australian opponent due primarily to
his dashing attack.
1t seems strange that the Australian players In
the singles displayed such weakness In serving.
The severe American service, giving the needed
onportunty TO assume the offensive, has always
made a great impression on visiting players and
has largely Influenced English play.
In doubles defeat has been not an uncommon ex-
perience for this country. Our inferiorty in team
work has been marked, and in this instance cOndi-
lions we're against the American style Of play

The "War Lords" Peace Jubilee.

The most obvious reflection upon the German
Fmperor's twenty fifth anniversary, the elaborate
celebration Of which is in progress, is that 1t IS
a Jubilee Of peace. Twenty-Five years ago there
were few observers, friendly or unfrendly, who
did not expect him soon to become involved in
war: probably a gigantic conflict duplicating all
Europe The event is that Germany is one Of tie
very few great nations of the world that have for
these twenty FIVE years kept the peace unbroken.
We NAV add that not only has this "War Lord
kept the peace himself, but also he has helped and
caused others to keep it.
Nof is this, as reminded in the analysis
of his reign which is printed on another page or
this paper the sole respect in which he has disap-
pojnted the unfavorable auguries which many made
every respect he has done that while in more than
one direction he has developed capacities and yir-
tues which were not at first attributed to him by
even his warmest admirers He probably has yet

throne the issue of which is to be seen. But OF
the ouarter-century of his occupancy of that dis
tinguIshed place thus far the net judgment must

"CHIVALRY AND JUSTICE"
Was Justice Swami Assuming the
Jocularity of the Mayor?
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: What seems TO me the only real
explanation for Justice SWANS most
peculiar and never before heard-of reason
for acquitting Miss Wngate is In your
editorial yesterday. "Chivalry and Jus
tice" am very much surprised that our
women lawyers did not also see the point
And by the way. whenever We want ex-
plantations that really and accurately ex-
plain We have learned 10 so to The Trib
une for them.
Whenever justice says he acquts a
prisoner because said prisoner is a wom-
an. before we bow our heads in worship
of such "chiyalry" 1t would be we'll to look
carefully into the facts Of the case. Po-
lice magistrates and justices are not
famous for their leniency toward trans
gressors because they are women--quite
the contrary is the case. | remember a
case I'm Brooklyn about year ago where
a girl had sworn falsely 10 protect her
employer and the District Attorney (not
Mr.. Whitman said that because she was
a woman she should receive "A much heav-
Ter punishment than II she were a man.
The striking shirtwaist girls are another
instance OF lack OF leniency-and Justice
in this case-in New York City recently.
AS TO the opinion of some people that
Justice Swami said what he did just to
please the suffragists. Why. any young
lawyer on his first case would understand
that the Justices remark was a big point
for the ANTS" for the ANTS have al
ways claimed that the suffragists wanted
immunity from the law. which claim is
most untrue, as suffragists believe in JUS
