Too Noble for Everyday

According to q writer in tho Now
Republic. there Is such a thing as
making morality too abstract and too
impractical for everyday life. He says:
Being too noble is dangerous busI-
ness. 1t is the fault Of most Sabbath
moralities. and tho cause Of their ster-
ility. When you have purged and
bleached your morality into a colIec-
tion or abstract nouns. you have some
thing which Is clean and white, but
what else have you? Surely nothing
comparable to the usefulness of that
wisdom which retains the odor OF the
world, which shrinks from proclaim
Ing superlatives, Is sparing in gran
dose phrase and rich In tumbled ex-
perlence The makers OF human wis
dom put little clay into the feet OF
their gods. They soem to know that
mankind cannot live by golden aflrma-
lions. and when they come to them
selves they come to something which
is not rhetoric. but life"

Battle of the Marine

NJ CIV that the war seems to be in its latter
l stages. it is interesting TO look back on
the crisis when it was uncertain which side
would win because Of the wonderful advance
of the German army in August and the first
week in September. Looking back, we see
clearly that the battle of the Marine
marked the turning OF the war. If that en-
gagement had resulted in defeat for the
French and English it would have meant the
loss OF Paris. and possible victory for the
Gel mans. But when the German army
turned back from the gates of Paris under
the onset Of the allies, the danger OF the
conquest Of France had PASSED
The details OF the battle of the Marine have
been yelled in obscurity until the last few
days. The reasons for the German disaster
were very mperfectly known. But the pub
lication of the French account OF the battle
has added such information as to give us a
clear idea of the engagement.
1t appears from the French report that
the right wing OF the German army under
Won I\luck had reached the Marine on Sep
TENDER Is. For more than two weeks the
French and English had been driven steadily
hack by the Germans, who advanced with
wonderful rapidty in the face Of the enemy
On September g. however, Won KIuck was
relatively inferior to the opposing force. and
his command was exhausted by it's extreme
excrtions. AT this critical moment the
French were able to get around the German
flank for the first time. They assaulted Won
kiuck's right wing. forcing him TO withdraw
troops from his left to meet the attack This
gave the English. on the right side of the
allied army. the opportunity to flank the Ger
mans on the left, which they did by facing
from east to north The Germans we're
therefore, thu eatened on both wings and had
to make a hurried retreat to the Aisne where
the present deadlock began. Their defeat
on the Marine thus appears the decisive
battle of the war.

been the chief advocate Of this idea. Begin
! ming with 1907, the Interstate Commerce
Commission made serious reductions in pas
senGer and freight rates, and by 1908 the
2-cent-a-mile passenger rate was, in operation
very largely. Then the railroads began their
light against the lowered rates--a fight made
necessary by the fall in the prices of railway
securities and the passing of dividends
Since 1910 the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. the United States courts and State Cor
poration Commissions have been giving de-
cisions more favorable TO the railways. and
the situation has improved.
How much truth is there in the Charge that
railroad management is inefficient? II would
seem from survey OF statistics that our rail-
roads are as economically administered as
any other business. The cost Of operating
roads has greatly increased in the last ten
years because OF advances in wages and in
the cost OF all materials. Notwithstanding
this increase in cost and tho decrease in earn
ings resulting from rate cuts, the railroads
have maintained an excellent service, with
some exceptions. The New Haven and Hart
fords are few. In fact. freight traffic in
America is better and more cheaply managed
than on the boasted lines of France and Ger
many. Our passenger traffic is we'll handled
too, when it is taken into consideration that
the average pay Of an employee in this coun-
try is 1924, while railway workers only re-
ceive $500 in France and $500 i'll Germany.
Average railway wages have advanced in this
country from s577 in 1903 to $724 in 1911;
i'll Germany they advanced from S33S to $500
in the same period.
1t is true that. because of the very crude
third and fourth class passenger service in
France and Germany, the average cost of
passenger traffic far less than in tho
United States, and much attention has been
called to this fact: but the first-class rate in
Prussia is higher than in America, and the
accommodations in this country are ncom-
parably better than in Europe for all classes
of passenger service. Owing to long hauls
and careful management. American freight
traffic outshines the European the average
per ton mile in France is g mills; in Ger
many 1877 mills, and in the United States
7.29 mills All in ALL there exists reason
for believing that American railroads are any
less efficiently and economically managed
than any others in the world.

Moral Gravity Evolved by War

. ERHAPS the most notable feature Of the
present war is the neral gravity 1t has
brought on the whole world. This to
be expected. OF course. but war does not al
ways have this effect. The Franco Prussan
War Of 1870, the last great European struggle
before this. accompanied by no such
feeling outside Of the countries immediately

At the present time the United States Is in
the beginning Of such a religious revival as
il has not seen in half century. Billy Sun

We have become very serious minded peo-
pie for the time being, and the war is in
large measure responsible.
In England the seriousness arising from
participation In the mighty conflict has had
the result OF overthrowing the most char
acterstic school of literature Of modern
times. For the last twenty years. ever since
the days OF Oscar Wilde, there has been
brilliant group of writer's. whose method is
paradox, clever inversion of current moral
ideas To world looking out for entertain
ment this school OF writer's made a great
appeal, and its principal exponent George
Bernard Shaw, became the most famous OF
English dramatists since Goldsmith. and one
of the shining lights of world letters
Shaw very eleyerly most wittily occa-
sionally brilliantly, criticized the institutions
and tenets on which morals rest; he was
especially critical Of marriage. Al times as
III John Bulls Other Island" he ventured
10 point out the foibles of Englishmen. and
his plays were received by the satirized
classes and types with great favor. But now
England is at war. England has stopped play
ing and turned to serious matters. Shaw
who may not have realized this. ventured to
criticize the government in his pamphlet
Common Sense and the War" with the re-
suit that he aroused national resentment, and
has been ousted from his throne OF public
favor. All England has turned against him
