0RANDPA.IN.LAW TO PEERS

George Edwardes, Inventor of
Musical Comedy" is dead. But de-
spite his own predictions that musi-
cal comedy would "give way to
comic opera as the French know it,"
his invention whirls msrrily onward,
if not upward, to the swing of syn
copation and the swish of silk.
Edwardes, by common consent of
contemporaries in his own field, was
a man of high talent, perhaps of
genius, and thoroughly likable
withal. He made the word Gay
ety-girl" part Of the language
Being father to the musical comedy
he was grandfather to the modern
chorus girl, and, by the same
token, grandpa law to a consider
able block of the English peerage.
He was Traitor to True Art or a
Public Benefactor, according to
whether you have leanings toward
Washington square or Broadway; !;
whether you are a Serious Student
of the Drama or a. Tired Business
Man.
At any rate, he gave US Billie
Burke. Pauline CHASE, Emmy Weh-
len. Edna May, and a score more.
Furthermore, he stood for cleanli-
ness in "lines," songs and plot. Ed
wardes will be missed more than
regiments of advanced thinkers"
who scorned him and his imitators.

A REAL DEFENSE PROGRAM

President Wilson's address to the
members Of the naval advisory board
contained one note especially that
the country will be glad to have
sounded by the head of the Govern
ment. 1t was the suggestion that
a proper and adequate defense
scheme involves organization to
mobilize the whole resources of the
nation in case of need. Germany
has given the world the complete
example Of a whole nation mobil-
lied; its brains, its science, its in
dustry, finance, transportation, ag-
riculture, and finally its millions of
men under arms.
The present war has shown how
supremely important it is that a
nation should be prepared, not only
to send its manhood to the fighting
line fully equipped to fight intelli-
gently and understandingly, but
also backed by the solid strength
Of the nation in every department
of life. War is largely factory
made, nowadays. The munitionless
army, the guns without shells, are
as worthless as if they did not exist.
When a nation confronts the prob
lem of making war under modern
conditions, it must be the alien.
crossing business of the whole peo-
pie, in all their activities and walks.
They must be educated to realize
this, just as much as the men who
will carry arms must be taught to
use them rightly.
1t is in this realization, new
one to most men, that there is
greatest hope for early remedying
the national condition of menacing
unpreparedness. The American ma
tion is getting the idea; and the
President has voiced it in his most
recent utterance on this theme. He
has given assurance that he will
stand behind the most insistent ef-
forts at effective organization of all
elements of national power. There
should be no further doubt of the
adoption of program appealing to
the understanding of Americans and
impressing the rest of the world
with the fact that this nation is de-
termined to avail itself in full meas
ure of the great factors of latent
power which have too long gone un-
organized, undeveloped, unappraised,
and unrealized.

RUSSIA IN AMERICA

Alaska was once Russian America,
and regarded by Americans as more
appropriately a part of Russia, with
its boundless northern wastes, than
of the United States. But senti-
ment has changed since the north
western empire btcame a part of
our country and it's possibilities
began to be understood. Mr.. Seward
was accounted to have made a very
bad bargain when he bought Alaska
for some $7,0O0,O00; but today the
nation would not dream of selling
it for hundred times that sum. =,
Secretary of the Interior Lane, in
suggestive interview in The Times
today, talks of Alaska and points
to the striking fact that Russia is
just now building a new railroad
system and developing a new harbor
at its Arctic ocean terminal, Eka-
terina, almost precisely at the Arc
tic circle. 1t is as if the United
States should discover that a new
port, as important to North America
as any it now possesses, was prac-
ticable and necessary on the north
ern coast of Alaska. To use such
a harbor, Russia is building a thou
sand miles Of double-track railroad
almost due south. The United
States is just fairly beginning the
construction of railroad system in
Alaska, but none Of it will reach
within some hundreds of miles as
near to the Arctic circle as is this
new Russian commercial base.
Russia presses commercial, in
dustrial, and transportation develop
ment even into the Arctic zone, with
out fear or hesitation, because Rus
sia understands the far northern
lands, knows how to use them, and
realizes what they mean to her peo-
pie. Americans, favored with more
attractive territories in milder
climes, have not appreciated the
possibilities of our great northern
dominion. Yet Secretary Lane
points out that there is in fact no
comparison whatever between the
attractiveness of Alaska and the
possibilities of northern Russia. The
Russian areas are for the greater
part without mineral wealth, their
agricultural possibilities, notwith-
standing that they sustain great
population, are no greater than
those of Alaska, and there is abso-
lutely no chance that they can ever
develop the wide diversification of
industry and enterprise that is going

POPULAR MUSIC OF TO-DAY

Thousands of those who attend
band concerts in Washington during
the summer will not agree with the
writer to the Mail Bag of The Times
who pleads for more popular music
at band concerts here.
Especially will those who attend
concerts of the Marine Band object
to change in the class of programs
that organization now offers. The
esteem in which classical music, as
rendered by that band. is held, can
be shown by the applause greeting
all such compositions.
Not SO many years ago one fell
athwart the danger of being termed
a "high brow" for liking operatic
or symphonic music. That feeling is
passing because of the numerous
band concerts. Directors of symph-
ony orchestras have stated that
their audiences are swelled each sea-
son by those who have been intro
duced to good music by park con-
certs.
There is nothing mysterious or
occult about so-called classical
music. 1t simply is the music which,
like the best books, has survived.
Many of the most simple and ia
miliar airs might be termed "classi-
CAL" just as the Mother Goose
Rhymes are in that class.
The process by which the public
grows to appreciate better music is
as unconscious as that by which it
grows to like good books. The more
books one reads the more discrimi-
mating becomes ones taste. By the
same process those who listen often
10 good music like to hear more
than the good old tunes" and well
come the best in music.
There are plenty of chances every
where to hear popular" music
Few bands are so we'll equipped to
play music of higher order as the
United States Marine Band. II
would be a distinct loss to many
music lovers if that organization
should abandon the field where il
tempers the popular" with the
"classic" and tried to do only that
which most musical organizations
can do.

HORSE SHOW ARMY MOUNTS

It is fitting that the National
Horse Show Association and the
Jockey Club should work hand in
hand at this time in the endeavor to
establish a type of army horse, and
much good is bound to come from
the troopers mount competition
which will be a feature of the ap-
preaching show in New York.
The class will be open to all long
tailed saddlers and hunters in the
show not under 1872 hands and not
exceeding 1871 hands, and it is ap-
propriate that the awards should be
made by a competent military au-
,hority, as the needs of the service
re best understood by those ac-
ively engaged in it.
Such authorities as General Scott,
'hief of staff. and Gen. Leonard
Wood are enthusiastic in their
praise of the thoroughbred or three
quarter-bred horse for this purpose,
and it would not be surprising to
find a mare or gelding of pure blood
carrying off the Jockey Club Plate,
together with the lions share of the
subscription fees which give the
event real sporting flavor.
The class, which calls for post
entries, should be large and
thoroughly representative, as hunt
ers and saddlers from Virginia,
Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and New York will COM
pete with those from Michigan, In
diana, Ohio, Illinois and other West
ern States, which of late have been
breeding good horses of this type.
Then, too, there is Canada to hear
from, providing the government
there will permit show horses to
leave that country for exhibition
purposes, bond being given for their
return to the Dominion.
As the class calls for an animal
up to carrying trooper with
full equipment, approximating $50
pounds, il is going to demand a
sturdy type of animal, and breeders
should welcome the opportunity of
studying the result of the judgment

PROLOGUE.

A romping, madcap, bewitch-
ting Irish girl, as Irish as ST. Pat
rick's day in the morning, is
turned over to the care of dris-
focratic English relatives. They
are stiff and artificial, and she
is as sweet and natural as a
healthy country girl can be.
They dislike her, but Peg holds
her own with jaunfy pride and in
the end, by her generosity and
big hearfedness, wins them over,
and, What is more, wins her for
tune, and, what is still more, wins
a very gallant lover. This, in
brief is the story of a play
which by its originality, sweet
ness and charm has been one of
the most phenomenal successes
New York has seen in long
time. The author Of the play
has turned it into a novel, so
alphabetically, so brilliantly
that Peg as a heroine of fiction
is as lopabie as she was on the
stage.

CHAPTER n.
Angela Speaks Freely.

n YATHANIEL'S indignation at his
III sisters conduct was beyond
bounds when he learned who
the wounded man was. He
ordered the soldiers to take the man
and themselves away. The magistrate
interposed and begged him at least to
let O'Connell rest there until doctor
could patch him up. 1t might be dan
gerOus to take him back without medi-
cal treatment. He assured Nathaniel
that the moment they could move him
he would be lodged in the county jail
Nathaniel went back to his study
as the sorry procession passed on to
the front door. He sent Immediately
for his sister. The reply came back
that she would see him at dinner. He
commanded her to come to him at
once.
In q few minutes Angela came into
the room. She was deathly pale. Her
voice trembled as she spoke:
"What do you wantT
"why did you bring that man here%
Because he Is wounded"
"Such scoundrels are better dead"
II don't think so. Nor do think
him a scoundrel."
"He came here to attack landlords

to my house and with that rabble! It's

Without word Angela got up quiet

entirely unmoved. She had spoken
from her Utmost convictions. The fact
that they were opposed to her father
was immaterial. She loathed tyranny.

PRESIDENT WEDDING
ROMANCE At
1t Was In New Hampshire Hills
That Mr.. Wilson Took Auto
Rides With Mrs. Gait.

"HE marriage Of President Wilson
to Mrs. Norman Gait, which is
expected to occur in December,
will be the forerunner of one Of
the most brilliant social seasons the
national capital has ever experienced.
Since the death Of Mrs. Ellen Arson
Wilson, wife Of the president, four
teen months ago, the White House has
been the scene of only the most for
NAL state functions. The wedding, it
is understood, will take place just prior
to a series of large receptions and din
ners. Washington society is rejoicing.
Mrs. Gait was present at the first So
cial affair participated in by Mr.. Will
son and his daughter, Miss Margaret
Wilson, in more than year. It was
a tea given by Miss Wilson to the art
lists colony in the neighborhood Of the
summer white house at Cornish, N. II.
The romance which eliminates just
before Christmas is one of the New
Hampshire hills. Mrs. Gait was one
of the guests at the Cornish capital
last summer and took long automobile
rides with the president throughout
New Hampshire and Vermont.
Widow of JeWeler.
She is beautiful woman of a dis
