HOW LONG Will THEY LAsT2

As the war drags on without any

good basis OF computation.
The British dead. wounded and

Servia has lost about an equal num-
Der OF men. Belgiums losses are
given as about 100000. German cas-
ualtes are estimated by careful OBJ
servers az perhaps 2,225, 600. There
can be little doubt that German and
Austrian losses together uP to the
end of May aggregate at least $780,

THE CHICAGO STRIKE.

\ few weeks ago the Chicago carpen-
building operations, involving 125,-
600 men in forced idleness, directly
affecting the livelihood OF several
hundred thousand people and check
ing the prosperity of millions.
Then $4,000 employees of the surface
and elevated transportation lines
struck, mountaineering the whole
population of the countrys second
city, and checking all its industrial
and commercial activities.
In both cases the differences were
trivial. utterly out Of proportion to the
loss and annoyance caused TO the
whole community. The street car
men have returned TO work under an
agreement to arbitrate and the same
settlement is being sought for the car
penters.
How much longer is society as a
whole going to tolerate having its
rights ignored and its needs flouted by
little groups of capitalists and work
men intent only on their own private
advantage?
Chicago as a whole is superior to
both employers and employees. 1t has
authority over the men. and over the
property they represent. 1t has au-
thority to control the transportation
lines, and to protect the right Of citi-
zens to transportation under all con-
ditions. 1t has authority to compel
the fighting groups of citizens to COM
pose their differences and buckle down
to work again in the service of the
public. Every community has such
power. But few communities use il
as did Chicago in the transportation
cases. The carpenters may be a
trifle harder to reach.
The public, in Chicago, and every
where else, is gradually waking up to
realization that it diesnt have to
stand these Industrial wars TO its own
ruin. Instead of remaining a help
less bystander, it can make the con-
tesrants behave themselves. Every
such strike is an argument for ether
compulsory arbitration or public own
eTship.

Productions Of two Of the plays Of
Euripides have recently been made
at the newly opened stadium OF New
York university. The plays given were
"Iphigenia in Tauris" and "The Tro-
jan Woman" both under the direction
of Mr. Granville Barker.
There are several rather unexpect-
ed features in connection with the
giving OF these plays Of ancient
Greece in modern Gotham. one is
that the bulk OF the comment upon
them, both by professional critics and
in the casual talk of the audiences.
treats them not in their aspect as
antiquarian curiosities, but as plays
TO be commented upon for their merits
as plays. quite as if they had been
written yesterday instead of in the
Athens of twenty-four centuries ago.
Another is that the plays. taken in this
way. have a singularly modern appeal.
The Trojan Woman" especially,
might have been written as a protest
against the present war. Its staud
against war in general, its searching,
Implying light upon the destructive
quality of war, its passionate insistence
that it is the conqueror who loses.
rather than the wronged-aH these
have a poignant meaning to present
day witnesses.
1t is curious, too. in this connection.
that when 'Iphigenia" was given in
the Yale bowl to an audience chiefly
of students supposedly familiar with
traditions of Greek drama. the cos
tuning caused roars of laughter. and
in many respects the play was taken
as a joke. But in New York, before
much more heterogeneous audiences,
it was taken with entire seriousness.
Thousands of school children were
admitted to one performance at a
trihing price. To them, as to the
grown-ups, it was real and very beau
uful.
In this last fact lies the real lesson
of these productions 1t is that the
beauty of ancient literature has too
long been locked away from public
appreciation by a silly insistencs on
the part of scholars that it could only
be appreciated in its original tongues.
1t is true that the Greek language it
self is full of beauty. But how many
American youngsters can afford the
years of study necessary to unlock its
treasures?
Greek masterpieces rendered, as
as these plays have been by Mr.. Gill
bert Murray, into fine and expressive
English, lack little of the grace of the
originals. Why should not these rich
boards of philosophy. humor, wit.
tragedy and poetic humanity be made
available for our youth?

THE ADVERTISERS CONVENTION.

annual convention in Chicago. The
purpose of the convention is to ele-

that are commendable. In view OF the
fact that advertisers, many of them,

newspapers to overlook their own coll

The Chicago convention OF the Ma
tional American Woman's Suffrage as
ISOLATION disapproyes of the attempts
Of the Congressional union 10 heckle
the president and 10 force interviews
upon him at inopportune times. It
has adopted resOlutlors which "depre-
tie this action and disclaim any re-
spOnsibility for or sympathy with the
same"
The resolutions also make it plain
that the Congressional union is in no
wise connected with the National
Woman's Suffrage association. but is
a new organization with methods and
policies diametrically opposite 10 those
Of the national association"
Delegate after delegate from one
part Of the country after another rose
to tell the convention Of the harm
done the cause in general by what
seem 10 the older society the mis-
guided methods Of the Congressional
union. Many women are members of
both. and agree with the more radical
policy OF the union, but the majority
Of those present were glad to record
themselves as approving the resoIu-
tons.
There are two sides. Those in favor
OF congressional action believe that
the suffrage being an inherent right,
women ought to have it everywhere
at once whether public opinion i'm a
given locality wants it or not. The
other side believes in the right Of each
state 10 decide as it sees fit The in
herent right of all people to share in
the government by which they are
governed cannot be questioned But
the taking over of this right is modi-
fled in given cases by considerations
of wisdom and expedicncy. Children

But giving Dreaded chops and rich
salads to small children isn't the part
OF wisdom. They can't digest them
Some OF our states are younger than
others. or at least different, in their

II they have no taste for having wo-
man suffrage thrust down their throat
before they are ready for it. the
chances are pretty good that they
would not digest and assimilate it if
they had it. Why not let them take
their time Whose believeth shall
not make haste" said the prophet.
II the suffrage comes state by state.
these states can have it whenever they
want it. Meantime, there is much
work TO be done in the states which
have it and in those which want it.
New York is campaign ground this
year. The suffrage cause could win
no greater victory than TO take the
Empire state. Scarcely less import
ant are the other three eastern 1918
campaign states. The possibilities Of
congressional action, wise or unwise.
Will not disappear before Nov. ., and
viii be strengthened by state victories
it is hard to see why any suffragists at
all should wish TO waste on federal
propaganda at this time any force
which might be applied in the four
states which will vote on the question
this fall.
