THE CLOT HERS
THE REGENERATION OF ENGLAND

England presents at the present
moment a striking spectacle of Ma
ional regeneration. Until two months
ago she seemed to be plunged into
torpor from which 1t appeared impos-
sible to awaken her. Her wars in the
Sudan and in South Africa, the immi-
nent menace Of armed rebellion in
Ireland and the exasperating outrages
of the militant suffragettes were pow
erless to arouse her from her sleeping
sickness. The remainder of the world
either gloated or mourned over her
decadence.
But since the beginning OF August
there has been a marvellous change.
Englishmen have shown since they
threw down the gauntlet to Germany.
barely seven weeks ago, that all the
talk concerning the moral and physl-
cal deterioration Of their race is with
ont foundation, and that they remain
true to the original stock from which
so many of us on this side OF the At
lantic are proud to trace our descent.
II needed the call to arms to work
the miracle, call not for the purpose
of protecting or acquiring far distant
possessions, as in the case OF the
Egyptian and South African cam
paigns. but to maintain the solemnly
plighted word of the Nation. Instant
ly the men who but yesterday were
dubbed "fanneled fools" by their
favorite poet, and were thought to
have no interest in life beyond cricket
and football, sprang to their feet, fill
ed with enthusiasm, and ready to give
every drop OF their blood for the safe
ty and honor OF their native land as
their sires when a hundred years ago
they played the leading role in free
ing Europe from the military despot-
ism OF Napoleon. Peer and com.
moner, capitalist and laborer, squire
and peasant, have all focked to the
colors in response to their country's
summons, taking their place in the
ranks, not as officers, but as privates,
regardless Of birth, position, place,
private interests and family ties.
They have done this with an eager
ness that has proved a perfect reve-
lation to the Germans, who had scott
ed at the idea of any serious military
resistance on the part OF Great
Britain. From south, east and west
men are thronging to join the English
army in the field. Canada, India, Aus.
tralasia and South Africa all are hur-
rying their sons by the thousands to
France to help deliver the world once
more, as they hold, from the crushing
burden Of military terrorism.
The Englishman is a much misun.
derstood individual, and his character
Is a good deal OF n riddle to the for
eigner. He is so anxious to keep an
open mind, to weigh things impartial.
~ and to postpone the necessity Of
reaching a conviction that he has
often been looked upon as impossible

CLEANER CITY
UP TO WOMEN
Those Of Better Glass Worst
offenders.
DON'T BLAME UNTIDY MAN.
Virtue and Cleanliness Can't Be Leg
islated Into Peopie-We're Mad on
the Subject of Making Laws and
Quite Indifferent to Enforcing Them.
BY MRS. E. r. HEWITT


President of Women's Municipal league,
New York city.
The women who don't meet their
own little responsibilities are often
the very ones who are on the lookout
for bigger ones.
It's a bore to see that our own ash
cans are Of the right size, and it's so
much more interesting to hustle about
and make the public conscious of its
responsibility about something.
We women of the better class are
the worst offenders, because we know
what we ought to do, and we don't do
it. Somehow we feel outside Of the
law. The poor are made to feel its re
strictions much more sharply.
Cleanliness is an instinct with WON
en- that has survived in spite of the
fact that we are all fundamentally lazy
and many are untidy. 1t has survived.
I think, because 1t makes for health.
I don't blame the men for being IN
tidy. because it isn't their fault. We
haven't brought them up properly, and
nature didn't make them so to begin
with. We haven't been stern enough
with them. For one thing, we don't
make them ashamed to look us in the
eye when they come into the house just
after throwing Oga1' away, ir' inc
street before entering. We don't OBJ
tect to their lazy ways so long as they
don't bring the stumps In with them.
There you have the root Of the whole
matter-we don't, any OF US, feel our
own responsibility in the little things
that go to make our streets dirty, our
city bad example Of municipal santa
ton.
You can't legislate virtue and clean
illness into people, but just now we are
mad on the subject Of making laws
and quite Indifferent to enforcing
