Ugly misunderstanding.

II repeatedly asked myself how such
ugly misunderstanding could arise be-
tween the openly well intentioned Admiral
Dewey-who- was always trying to mod
crate the rigors of the blockade for those
innocently suffering-and me who was
always sincerely endeavoring to meet all
the wisI1s of the commander of the
blockading feet up to the limit which
the honor of the flag sets. I can only
see the following explanation:
1.-THE misguided public opinion of Ma
Mia repeatedly expressed with southern
exaggeration unjusti1able hope of Ger
man assistance and thereby awakened
wide suspicion of Germany's Intentions.
MANY newspapers, particularly the
English ones on the east Chinese coast,
devoted themselves zealously to nurtur-
ing this suspicion.

THEBRAZILIANEXP

From Brazil comes a cable saying
that the Roosevelt party in the In
terror has had a disaster and lost
all its baggage in the rapids of a
remote river; but nobody bothers
even to mention that the Colonel
himself is perfectly safe. 1t is
assumed that he couldn't possibly be
anything else; and people with am
bitions to see him eliminated from
the political campaign this year will
have to console themselves as best
they can.
Wall Street expected every lion to
do its duty, but not lion did any,
thing Of the kind. The Brazilian
boas and tapirs are no more to be
relied upon. Wall Street and the
others of the Colonel's dear devoted
enemies will have to accept that he
isn't to be gotten rid Of this way.

DOG-DAY DELIGHTS.

Admiral Peary brings US visions
Of new dog-day joys. He says he is
certain not only that airships will
fly across the Atlantic, but that an
aerial cruise to the North Pole will
soon be an easy matter.
As for discomforts, he SCOTS
them. The temperature in the Polar
region in August and September, he
points out, is usually above zero, OF
much warmer than the air now en-.
countered by aviators in their high
flights.
Nothing is needed but a plane
which will fly 1900 miles without
stopping and a gasolenc station At
Cape Columbia.
Under the circumstances, can
you afford to close terms with that
seaside hotel or that Adirondack
camp? Progress in aerial things is
swift. Your friends may be hum
ming across Baffin Bay while you sit
alone on some sultry veranda.

NEW REVOLUTIONARY
HISTORY.

The French ambassador, M. Jusse-
rand, has done a real service to
students of American history in
resurrecting the diary of Baron
Chosen, an aid on the staff of Count
Rochambeau during the last drama
tic stages of the revolutionary war.
Of all the periods of that war, none
is so little known to casual students
Of our history as the campaign that
opened with the British expecting
Washington to besiege New York,
and ended with the surrender of
CORVALLIS at Yorktown. The trans
portation of Washington's army
from North to South was accom-
plished with swiftness and secrecy
which marked it as perhaps the
greatest military maneuver of the
entire conflict. Compared with tho
dashing actions on the Delaware, 50
familiar to the readers of revolu-
tionary history, this shifting of the
scene of great operations from the
Hudson to the James was a vastly
more striking achievement. 1t was
the great piece of strategy of Wash
ington's career.
Baron Chosen kept diary
throughout that campaign. He saw
much and intimately of the rela-
tions between the cooperating
French and colonial forces, and his
story gives some lights on the cam
paign that are of the keenest inter
est. NJ. Jusserand has dug up this
diary, and it's contents go far to re-
enforce the opinion that timely
French aid went long way towarG
bringing the war to a favorable enc
for the colonies.

A VICTORIAN REVIVAL7

In revolt against the excesses that
the last few years have seen
dragged into the realms of social re-
lations, sartorial styles, and the like,
there is reported to be a disposition
in England to return to early Vic
torian models. They are going to
dance the minuet again, to powder
their hair, wear bustles, and sit on
straight-backed, horse-hair furni-
ture carved in the ugliest fashions
imaginable.
Have we been SO very wicked,
these last few years of carelessness,
as to deserve this? 1t seems hardly
possible. Are we to be condemned
to read the Victorian writer's, too,
with those intermlnable stories that
get places of honor even yet on our
shelves, but that are never read by
anybody beyond the selections that
appear in the Fifth Reader? Are
we to go back to the daintiness of
Tennyson, and expect him to satisfy
the hunger for strong meat that
Kipling aroused in us? Is it pos
sible that the militant ladies Of our
clubs and suffrage organizations
and the like are to be asked to read
Jane Austen and Tennyson, and try
| IN keeD I'M their enthusiasm on that
pabulum We guess that before
the Victorian revival gets here it
will be sidetracked. The world has

1t is not sufficient to know how to
read and write, to understand the ru-

1t does not suffice to know that two

knowledge Of bookkeeping is not
sufficient unless we are taught also
how to balance our accounts daily
