ORDERLY Dance Halls.

New York's dance places, when suHeicu
rather extensively from the muckrakeIs
following the Eugenia Kelly case VIII De
nleased 70 learn that they are now all right
DR.. Anna Dryer, member Of the Chlcago
Morals Commission, has been inspecting
them unoficially, and renders the verdict
in their favor. She finds them orderly and
we'll regulated: altogether a good example
TO the country's second city, where the
dance halls "are rather Objectionable you
know"
Whether this recommendation will dl-
,,irieb the number of visitors from Ska
neateles. Grand Rapids and Pocatello who
come to this city and HE themselves to the
Great White Way to learn the latest thing
in naughtiness remains TO be seen. Some
cabarets and dance places have maintained
themselves on a clientele of Broadway
FOUNDERS and guileless ruralites by repu-
disseminated-that they
offered more gilded vice to the square inch
of dance space than any establishments
this side of Paris, Berlin and Vienna IN
the days before the war. Fortunately
they have not been truly representative OF
the public dancing places of the city. II
they were, there would have been real
reason to shudder at the dance craze
Thanks to the vigilance Of the police, the
licensing authorities and one or two or
carnations which keep track of such mat
ters, the average public dance hall is
tolerably we'll managed, orderly, decent
place, and the young woman or youth who
goes there won't encounter trouble with
out some amount of willingness to meet 1t.
If that fact is going to hurt this city's
standing with sportive visitors, Broadway
may lose some traffic-but there will still
remain Chicago.

Fashoda to Armageddon will undoubtedly
be the fashion in which the future will
describe contemporary European history.
The actual causes Of Delcasse's pres
ent retirement are obscure. Possibly the
failure Of Allied Balkan policy, possibly
questions Of Parliamentary politics, con-
i'll health, traceable in part to
the anxiety for his only son, German
prisoner-perhaps all these have contribu-
ted to this result. But his departure takes
from the field the man who has, on the
whole, exerted greater influence upon Eu-
ropean affairs than any man since Bis
marck If France comes from this SUI
preme test victorious and territorially

will owe much TO Delcasse. If she is de-
feated, his name may be accursed here

greatness of the part he has played.

Irish American Impostors.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | have failed TO notice any reference
70 an intention on the part of an Irish revolu-
tionary force TO "inyade" Ireland, as de-
scribed so graphically, nevertheless uncon-
vincingly by your correspondent az NJ p"
in your issue of October 7.
There can be only one opinion formed by
any educated or conscientious Irshman of
the actions of those Cets who have identi-
fed themselves with the Germanophile prop
uganda; and it is that such agitators not
only grossly misrepresent real Irish senti-
ment at home and abroad more especially
in ireland, where there is a most intense
anti German feeling that they are the
very embodiment and personifcaton of po-
litical charlatanism, and, will venture to
add. Of treachery of the basest kind. Their
brand of patriotism" connotes such an ALI
ance with the manipulators of doodle" and
graft that their sordid, selfish natures seem
incapable Of rising superior to any other
impulse than the desire to crafty their own
Machiavellan proclvities; by making the
Irish question serve as a perpetual source
of revenue for themselves, even though their
fellow countrymen at home should have TO
suffer as a result OF what | unhesitatingly
characterize as most contemplate traffic in
spurious patriotism.
When Daniel O'Connell was agitating for
Catholic emancipation he replied to the
physical force advocates in words that have
become historic, that he would not have the
regeneration of Ireland purchased at the cost
Of "even one drop of Irish blood" and when
asked what alternative he proposed he re-
piled in dramatic Ut might be almost appro-
priatey said tragic) fashion, "Agtate, ag-
tate, agitate." and he kept repeating this
sentiment expressed by one sententious word
until il had such an inspiring effect that ag-
tstion pure and simple has secured for Erin
every great measure, from Catholic emanc-
patton in 1929 to Home Rule in 1914
All this talk Of sending a force to "invade"
Ireland is the empty frothing of the dis
gruntled agitators Of the cheap variety pat
tern whose antics are likely to create as much
impression on the real Irish in Ireland (who
in the final analysis must be the people who
will shape the ends of Irish political meas
ures) as a punch and Judy" show would
produce on convocaton of rigid and de-
corous Quakers or a meeting of devout Meth
odist ministers

British Submarines in the Baltic.

1t will be disconcerting TO the German
people to learn that British submarines
are at large in the Baltic and engaged in
harassing their trade with Sweden. A
singular notion has hitherto prevailed, not
among naval men, it need hardly be said,
but among the less informed Germans,
that the U-boats are matchless and that
in submarine warfare none can rival Ger
man commanders.
There never was the slightest reason
for this patriotic presumption. When the
war began Britain was far stronger than
Germany in the submarine branch Of the
service and by now the superiority must
be overwhelming. Nor is there the slight
est ground for the belief that the German
submarine officers are more expert. They
have been without competitors in the
North Sea for the plain reason that their
enemies had nothing TO attack, German
commerce having long since been driven
from the sea and the German fleet not
daring TO venture forth from the forti-
fed harbors Submarine warfare served
Germany well enough for want Of any
thing better after the cruisers had all been
accounted for, but the cruisers as long as
they were at large did much more damage.
Only in the last few days have the
British been active in submarine warfare
on German merchant vessels. II is a sort
Of warfare that was hardly considered,
even by theorists, until Germany set the
example. The speculations of most Brit
sh naval writers before the war show
that no torpedo craft Of any sort were
taken seriously into account in discussions
relating TO commerce destruction. They
reasoned that even destroyers could not
conveniently take care Of the crews Of
large vessels and that accordingly their
activities in this way would be insignif-
cant. The alternative of leaving the crews
at sea in their boats was too cruel to be
contemplated; as to destroying them. that
was utterly unthinkable.
4 good many unthinkable things have
been realized in this war, and though it
does not appear that the example of sink
ing vessels without due warning has been
initiated by the British commanders they
are evidently forcing the crews to take
to their boats. If they succeed in carry
ing on at the present rate the result may
be telling, since Germany now depends to
so considerable degree on her commerce
with Sweden. And though it does not APP
pear that anything like an effective block
ade has been establish. yet the condition
that prevails is at least as grave a men

The Worlds Championship.

Form triumphed when Boston beat
Philadelphia in the world series. The
American League team was stronger
all around than its opponent. Phila-
delphia won in the National League
by playing steadily throughout the sea-
son. while other teams were doing well
one week and going to pieces the next
week. With one star pitcher, two star
batters and one star fielder Philadelphia
had little difficulty in besting the weak
ened teams in the older circuit.
Boston had far greater resources than
that Three star pitchers, three star
cutfielders, one phenomenal infielder,
a more vigorous offence and tighter de-
fence. The scores of the five world
series games were fair measure Of the
difference in playing strength-posslbiy
magnifying Philadelphia's a little and I'M
der-representing Boston's. a longer series
would have ended just as decisively in
Boston's favor.
The fact is that in the last four or five
years the American League has been
drawing away more and more from the
National League. The victory of the Bos-
ton Nationals last year was flash IN the
nan. Of the last five worlds series the
American League has captured four.
The clubs which gave the older organiza-
ton its prestige-the Giants. the Cubs,
the Pittsburgh Pirates-have become en-
feebled and demoraized. Old players
Lave been retained too long and dry rot
has set in.
On the other hand, the American
League has been developing new talent
end keeping the playing standard high.
As an instance, Shore, Foster and Leon
ard, Boston's pitchers, were unknown in
1912, when the Boston Americans de-
feated the Giants for the Worlds Cham
All Boston's pitchers in 1912,
except Wood, have disappeared. Yet the
Giants started out the season of 1915
on veterans of 1912 and prior
seasons. like Mathewson, Marquard and
Tesreau.
Boston beat Philadelphia four games
out of five. The Chicago Americans beat
the Chicago Nationals four games out Of
five. The St. Louis Americans beat the
St. Louis Nationals four games out Of
five. There are three other teams in the
American League besides Boston-De-
troit, Chicago and Washington-which
probably could have defeated Philadel-
phia. The lesson Of the series to the
National League is therefore unmistak-
able. Reorganization, new blood on the
diamond and a sharper standard Of play
are required to bring it up even again
with its younger, more progressive rival.

Fabre and "Other Entomologists."

1t is perfectly true that Henri Fabre's
inimitable observations in the natural
history of insects were given to the world
ir a curiously picturesque development
and that from simple statement of fact he
often passed over to sheer poetry. But IN
rebuking his obtuarists for putting
Fabre among the great men OF science
contemporary critic is less than just
when he says that "to those who know
something of how other entomologists do
their work and record its results Fabre
does not seem to have been exactly a
scientist, or even a scientist at all if those
others are scientists"
In the house Of science there are many
mansions, and why should those even
who know of other entomologists grudge
Fabre his corner? Fabre was first and
foremost an observer. He was impatient
Of theorists: he was perhaps not really
frst-rate generalizer. But II, as his
critic complains, "he ascribed to wasps
and ants emotions that they do not have"
surely it was only in fanciful way, and
the las if" was never for a moment in
doubt. He was too keen, too conscien-
tious an observer and much too clear a
thinker to fall into the sentimentalsm
CT such twaddlers about Nature as Will
lam Joseph Long.
The extraordinary delight he took in
devout study was, it is true, what he de
sired most TO convey to others, and indeed
he succeeded so well that in reading his
books Darwin found something of the
same Joy and fascination as in direct
observation. 1t is significant that in their
first encounter it was Fabre who was
standing against the imputing of human
qualities to insects, and Darwin who was
obliged to defend the belief that they
might have some tincture of reason.
