Yankee Example for Thomas Atkins

To the American familiar with the tiny refer
ences TO this country usually to be noted in Eng
lish newspapers, the present era of citation from
American sources is real surprise Let us not
delude ourselves. however. Our English cousins
have the friendliest appreciation of American in
terest in the Allies; but it is not a sudden rush
of emotion which makes American verse and
American example loom large in British columns.
1t is merely the singular fact that American
experiences in recruiting a volunteer army in the
Civil War form practically the only precedent for
the vast undertaking which democratic England
faces to-day.
The London spectator was among the first TO
point out the parallel. AS the recruiting of voun
teers began to fall off it quoted President Lin
coins clear-headed defence of conscription. The
Asquith government is evidently very loath to
fall back upon this method of enlargng the army;
but the Unionst writers seem more than ready
for 1t, and the fact that the government of this
democratic country was compelled to draft its
soldiers in a war of self preservation gives them
an excellent precedent to stand on.
Meanwhile the efforts TO stimulate recruiting
have brought out whole crop of Civil War songs,
more or less adapted to British needs. Core

NO CAMPANlNI OPERA
A Denial from the Chicago Conductor
That He Will Appear Here.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Referring to the various re-
ports which have appeared IN the New
York press recently relative 70 the
probability Of my giving season OF
grand opera in New York during this
season, beg TO deny most emphatlcally
that | have any such intention.
There has never been any friction be-
tween the board Of directors OF the
Chicago Grand Opera Company and
myself, and am now in Chicago pre-
pairing the plans for the season Of
1876. The statements attributed 10
me in stating that | believe the Chi
cago Grand Opera Company could have
carried out its plans this year are
without foundation.
As much as | like the City Of New
York and the operagoing public, who
have always manifested a great inter
est in my work, | cannot forget the
unusual sympathy and encouragement
! have received from the Chicago pub
lie during the last four years, who
have always stood for and demanded
the highest and best in music. might
add that my relations with the board
of directors have always been most
pleasant, and that there has never been
any question as TO the fuliilment or
validity of my contract. | shall con-
tinue as general director OF the COM
pany in the future.

How Not to Handle Eviction Cases.

In his refusal to serve as treasurer of the
committee of Municipal Court justices, self-ap-
pointed, to handle of worthy families threat
ened with eviction Mr.. Seigman places his fin
ger accurately on the weak spot in the scheme.
These judges have neither the machinery nor the
time to deal adequately with the problem, nor,
with all due respect to them, the broad knowledge
and experience necessary to meet 1t in any way
other than that Of purely temporary relief of a
distress bound to be critical and ,ong standing.
The organized charities have facilities for col

lack, and all machinery for Investigating any

ment and good sense. | would advise.
and | presume Dr. Davis agrees, that
boys under twenty should not smoke
because they cannot afford the inan-
cial outlay and because in growing
years il is better not 20 smoke. But
if DR.. Pease states that smoking is the
main cause of lying and untruthful-
ness, ! would ask for the proof of
such a statement How about the
Annette Hazelton" letter? Was that
deception caused by tobacco?
Deception, lying and stealing are
moral sins which are not easily for
given, while smoking, like eating, is a
physical desire and habit, harmless if
temperate, but most certainly not i'm
moral In my personal experience and
research | believe smoking rather de-

THE IRISH CARLYLE
Some Comment on the Vsgaries Of
Mr.. Shaw's Mind.

To the Editor O. The Tribune.
Sir; Fault-hndng George Bernard
Shaw, the miniature Irish Carlyle
OF "Grumoledom," whom nobody
understands and whom nobody cares
to understand unless it be cult
ured" and msterialistic Germany! And
it is question that If Ger
many held the protectorste Of the
British Isles when Mr.. Shaw penned his
unjust attack on England, whether he
would not find himself in a clammy cell
in Pentonville or elsewhere, especially
if he had dared TO pass such structures
on German sincerity as he has dared
70 do on the sincerity of his own coun-
try.
While nobody doubts the ability or
the integrity of Mr. Shaw, the merest
tyro is at liberty 10 doubt his sanity
in some things, as one might doubt the
Kaiser's sanity in war not brought on
by Great Britain, but by Germany,
through a megalomaniac wish 70 cor
ner all the sunshine" of Europe and the
rest of the world OF course, there IS
a preponderating opinion in the United
States that Germany is the wrongdoer,
and not that the war was the result OF
British intrigue and commercial envy.
Neither is the fault with France, nor
with Russia, nor with the heroic VIC
tim of German expansion and aggres-
sion, Belgium but lies at the door OF
a power that has been preparing for 10
for forty years, and this Unsuitable
power is Germany.
While not agreeing with the German
view in everything, Mr.. Shaw thinks
80
manger" which forced Germany by her
sincerity and hypocrisy into the pres
ent European war. OF course, he
does not say so in so many words, but
no one can doubt his meaning. Is he
an expansionist at heart Is he not like
the other Anglo-Celts referred to
"ag'iu the government" and "ag' yin" all
governments. for the matter OF that,
autocratic or otherwise?
Have the ethics OF Nietzsche and
Treitschke upset your moral balance,
Mr.. Shaw, as we'll as the moral balance
OF most educated Germans, maLy schol-
ars and great scientists, who can only
see one side of this war question-th
side that might IS right" theory
neither original nor philosophical, a
theory of the cave dweller and the bar
barian, a theory of the robber barons
of Europe in the Dark Ages, and OF At
tilla the Hun, the "Scourge OF God" the
theory of fs.Se eXpansionists every
where and at all times? But not the
theory of the gentle Nazarene who
breathed out his life on the cross a
theory which spells injustice and inhu-
manity.
No one can account for the vagaries
of brain evolvement-even of so clever
is known TO be; but do think if you
examine Mr.. Shav's article critically
on German expansion and English in
sincerity you may discover either one
Of two things that Mr.. Shaw was out
at-elbows with his liver or his stomach
or was playing one OF his grim Jokes
on the reading public and laughing in
his sleeve at the amazing rumpus he
has stirred up.

THE GREAT HOUR.

in You,
Whether You are but dream Of sacred past,
See now. we swear TO You, Witness Of Truth,
Not We have wanted it
This murder, this world-ending murder
Which now with blood-hot signs,
Stamps Ger the shuddering earth
True 10 the earth, the bread giving earth.
Happy and CHEEKY in business and trade,
Peaceful we sat in the oak trees shade
Peaceful,
Though we were born to the sword.
Circled around US, for ever and ever.
Greed, sick with envy. and nets lifted high,
Full of inherited hatred.
Every one saw II, and every one felt
The secret venom, gushing forth,
Year after wear,
Heavy and breath-bated years.
Rrt hearts did not quiver
Nor hands draw the sword
And then il came, the hour
OF sacred need, of pregnant Fate
And what it brings forth, we will shape,
The brown gun in our mastering hand
Ye mothers, what ye once have borne,
In honor in vice,
Bring forth TO every sacred shrine
Your country's sacrifice.
Ye brides, whom future happiness.
Once kissed-it but seemed true.
Bring back TO fair Germania
What she has given you.
lc women, in silks OF in linen,
Offer your husbands now.
Bid them goodby, with your children
With smiles and blessing vow.
Ie all are doomed to lie seepless
Many desolate night
And dream of approaching conquests
And Of your heros might
And dream Of laurel and myrtle,
Until he shall return,
Till he, your master and shepherd,
Shall make the old joys burn.
And if he fell on the autumn heath
And fell deep into death,
He died for Germanias greatness,
He died for Germsnis's breath.
The Fatherland they shall let stand,
Upon his blood-soaked loan,
And ne'er again shall they approach
Our sacred. peaceful home.
