Fairness To National Guardsn1en.
(South Norwalk SentineD.

A different attitude toward the
militia is perceptible as the nation
begins to realize the important place
occupied by such a body in our ma
tional scheme of defense. guards
man is no longer looked upon as a
sort of crank with a harmless pen
chant for marching in uniform and
going camping. And when he asks
now, for leave of absence from his
employment in order to attend the
regular encampment or manoeuyres,
he isn't SO likely to be threatened
with the loss Of his job.
No longer ago than last year many
a Conscientious guardsman did lose
his job for taking the time off to
attend evening drill or summer camp
to prepare himself for his military
duties, The just complaints of
guardsmen, reinforced by. the spec
tacle of the European conflict and
the SOLDERING possibility of our being
drawn into it, have made employers
suddenly respectful of their citizen
soldiers, and willing to cooperate
with them. A big Boston firm has
announced its intention of encourage
ing its men in every possible way
to become members of the. national
guard. The guardsmen of Tiffin, o.,
report that without exception their
employers have expressed their plea
sure in letting the men off for the
state manoeuyres. The same dis
position is manifested all over the
country.
That's the way it should be all
the time. The national guard, the
citizen army, is the ideal defensive
force of the United States. the one
most in harmony with our ideals, and
If properly developed most suited
for the only purpose that we need
an army for.

= Every old or elderly man would do
well to take to heart this little pass
age in the news from Paris detailing
the debate in the chamber, of depu-
ties on the new French loan:
Premier Vivianai exclaimed once
upon what he called M. Ribot's suc-
eessful efforts in behalf of workmen's
pensions. To this the minister of
finance replied:
:" This Is not the hour to recall the
stages of my career. I have lived, 1
have acted, and in aging 1 try. not to
construct my ideas
Age is subject to a constant tempta-
ton to ''constrict it's ideas" It loses
not only in enthusiasm, but in self
confidence and often in the common
faith of humanity. The futility of
human endeavor becomes one of it's
watchwords. 1t looks back, not for
ward. It minimizes the scope and
value of mans possible accomplish
ment. It draws in upon itself. 1t
suffers from an improving mind and
spirit.
M. Ribot, one of the elder states
men" of France, a veteran of many
and varied campaigns, finds himself at
length confronted in his latter years
by the supreme emergency of his life
And instead of yielding to depression
and encouragement he simply says:
t'In ageing 1 try not to construct my
ideas.''

his success or failure in combating the

minister of finance has so successfully
striven.

There is plenty of evidence of de-

There has been a great expenditure or

Library Notes.
Why are the older novels, long ap-
proved by the best readers and critics,
SO often neglected for the books of the
hour? For several reasons. the
classic novels were written for
leisured class. They are too long ana
discursive. for many present-day read
ers. but chiefly we are, and should De,
intensely interested in the life of our
day and generation, for fiction is one
of its great interpretations. A lesser
reason is that the book of the day Is
constantly brought to our attention ny
advertising, reviewing, library lists
and shop windows. -
Why do not libraries spend more
time clearing the dust from celebrated
names and less in lament1ng their
neglect? Jane Austen lived the most
uneventful Of lives in period as ex-
citing as our own, but the cannon or
Trafalgar and Waterloo find no echo
in her pages.
Her keen, humorous and Wen pal
anced genius found enough for her art
in the lives of the country gentry VINO
formed her circle. Her characters are
sometimes bores, we know 1T because
they bore u.s. she never needs to label
them, but if we really care for human
beings and not merely their clothes,
furniture and muscular movements,
we can hardly help liking Jane Aus
ten. Sir Walter Scott confessed the
big bow-wow strain I can do myself
but her exquisite touch is denied me"
Macaulay said that she approached
nearest to Shakespeare as portrayer
of character and George Henry Lewes
approves the judgment. Cardinal
Newman advised yearly reading as
an aid to acquiring good style. Ii you
have read Jane Austen and do not like
her books you may bolster UP your
Judgment with that of Fitzgerald,
Charlotte Bronte, and Mark Twain.

Brilliant as the German drive
across Galicia has been, if it has no
other results than to push back the
Russian lines to a point Just be-
yond Austrian soil, the gain, SO far
as any ultimate decision in the war
is concerned, is negligible.
The present position of advantage
consists in the fact that the main
body of Russian troops now lies well

encircling movement IF they have
the power to execute it. If success

years they have been breeding a class
sense which foreign observers have
viwed as SYMPTOM of decadence
in British blood and a menace to the
future of the Empire. 1

It seems evident enough that SO far
as can be humbly foreseen the final

the east, and of England in the west.
If either fails, nothing else will
count much.
Both are being put to their de-

reasonable certainty If the Germans
are to win, or If the allies are to win.

That there is to be a great change
in the theater is the conviction of
some Of the most expert students of
the. subject. No two at present en-
gagged in discussion of the matter are
agreed as to what character the change
will assume. All seem to be united on
one point, however, that the stage set
ting, as this generation has known it,
must be superseded by something en-
tirely different, and, above all things,
by som ething better. But when this
point is reached it Is necessary to re-
trace steps and ask what will be the
nature of the theater of the future.
And until this can be satisfactorily an
swered the question of the future of
stagecraft as well remain in allegiance.
