viii the End Of the War See ENGLAND
Republic:

To THE EDITOR oF THE SrN-Sir, II
the Prince OF Wales is considering the
possibility Of a republic in England after
the war, he is more progressive, not TO
say revolutionary. than most of his sub
tects. or for that matter, public opinion
In republican America.
II is almost unique TO hear Of any
one expressing the opinion that great
Internal political changes will occur in
the belliserent nations. Even the So
cialists seem to have abandoned all their
revolutionary hopes, for their apers are
NOT ever hinting at the establishment of
republics as an outcome OF the war.
Rumors from German sources tell o.
unrest in Russia and India. Italian Of
foial papers admit the danger Of revo-
luton preceding hostilities. But here in
America, who IL there with any repub-
lican ardor or hopes? Ii would almost
seem hat w had forgotten our own
political origins. and were all in SYM
patty for this or that monarchy, and
still retained our dynasty conceptions,
though Of course We all know we'll that
it is a long cry back TO the court o!
Louis XIV.
There has been already reams OF
comment on the military and financial
phases of the war. 1t remains for the
Prince ~ Wales 20 advert 10 the politi.
cal and social changes Of the war.

The Man Of War and the Man OF

Senator JAMES A.. O'GoRMAN gazes
In the crystal sphere, reads the tea

United States choosing between ROosE-
WELT and War and WILSON and Peace.
The Colonel connOtes the supreme

White House, and in hat not incon-
siderable period he plunged his coun-

In ninety months than II has In the
thirty-three months during which Mr..
WILSON has exercised constitutional
authority over their movements.
Colonel ROOSEVELT rattles the sword,
Jugs a pistol. deies the world In gen

other fellow to knock from his shoul-

ally d%ecorates himself. and he COM

Eject Of Darda nelles Retreat on
Islam.

More important, perhaps, than its
influence upon Great Britain itself is
the effect that the retirement of the
British forces from the Dardanelles
will have upon the Moslem world.
The British Under Secretary of
War announced yesterday that the
casualties in the campaign were H.
9ol. Besides there was the loss of
six war vessels and necessarily II
great amount of war material which
fell into the hands of the enemy,
There is. no doubt, little TO Justify
the Turkish reports that the British
were driven into the sea with great
loss, for the cmbarkation was eff
fected with few casualties. But
where the British must have suffered
is in prestige in the East, where they
hold sway over n Mohammedan pop
ulation numbering millions.
Islam In recent years has been I'M
fortunate in wars. The glories Of
the days when the Moslem hosts
stormed the gates Of Belgrade and
Vienna have long since passed. In
Africa wherever Christian and Mo-
hammedan have FLASHED the victory
has been with the Cross. Persia has
been shOrn OF its power by the Rus
SLAMS and the British. Turkey failed
ingloriously In the war against Rus

the Balkan peoples whom she had
once despised. Islam no doubt OK
pected the same result when the Brit,

An unfortunate tendency in college

Magazine Mr.. FRANCIS PEABODY says:

his defeats in a good sportsmanlike

that no Judge. Senator or Public Service

any case in which he Is interested either

Slop About Cltisenship.

When Senator JAMES HAMuroN
LEWIS Of Illinois addresses the New
England Society at Philadelphia al.
most anything may be expected from
the combination. Citizenship was the
Senator's subject.
The adopted citizen. the Senator
began. learns his Amerlcanism from
the native. In the last ten years the
foreign born have heard from Ameri-
cans nothing but destructive criticism
Of American institutions.
Then. by way Of supplement to his
exemplifcation Of the great American
institution Of free fault finding by
freely finding fault with It, the Sena.
tor put forth some remedial PROPOSE
tons: Make voting not n right but
a duty. and punish failure to perform
the duty by withdrawing the electoral
right. II conduct is such as to prove
unworthiness of citizenship let the
courts cancel the citizenship. leg.
islate loyalty into existence.
The Senator's logic Is entirely con
structive. 1t begins Mt the top Of the
structure Of citizenship reared with
the best of human effort and wisdom,
and with superhuman effort and logic
it builds. straight down TO the founda-
ton. a beautiful hole in the
air that citizenship breathes. Senator
LEWIS is exactly as clever and radiant
as ever.

To II EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: II
Is said that every nation is entitled 10

but there is a higher law than this. and
that Is that every child Is entitled 10
it's Christmas. be 1t no more than n
red apple and a stick Of candy. Come
what will and at whatever sacrifice,
let us see tina this ancient privilege Is
preserved ~inviolate. For a pricked bub-
bile would be no more substantial than
would Christmas be without the unre-
strained participation of children In the
spirit Of the time.
But what OF Christmas across the
ocean. where the great guns will syinbo-
lice the day and where the lurid burst
OF rockets ID the signal OF death? No
Jingle Of bells save those OF toll ana
alarpn. No laughter. no 5olltty, no JOY
Gus prattle OF little voices. and no feasts
except for vultures.
Gifts there will be a plenty. but they
will be those that are rendered unto
nature in mans final account. But OF
gifts to gladden. and make happy. how
few indeed. There will be no new
wooden shoes for little Gretchen, or
phaned and hungry. Hans instead OF
having n little tin soldier to play with
will have real ones TO o at and stand
in awe of. Var would be less intoler-
able could II but leave the children un-
touched. but they feel 1t in a
sense it invades the land OF realities
for them, and the toyland too.
with these things mirrored In the

We take pleasure In answering a.

time our great qualification that Its
faithful author is numbered among the
friends Of The SUN:
"DEAa Enron: am . years Old.

Virginia. YOU little friends are wrong.
They have been affected by the ecepti-
cign OF a sceptical age. They do not
believe except they see. They think that
nothing eau be which is not cpnprehen-
sible by their little minds. All minds.
Virginia. whether they be mems or chill
dren's, are little. In this great universe
OF ours man IS a mere Insect. all ant. In
his intellect. as compared with the
boundless world about him., as meas
ured by the intelligence capable OF
graspins the whole OF truth and knowl-
edge.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
lie exists as certainly as love and gen.
crosby and devotion ex!st and YOU
know thar they abound and give to your
life It's highest beauty and JOY. Alas .
how dreary would be the world II there
were 10 Santa Claus. l, would be a.
dreary as II there were no Nirginias.
There would he no child,ike :alth then
no poetry. no romance TO make tolerabls
this existence. We should have no en-
Joyinent, except in sense and light. The
eternal light with which childhood Nils
the world Would be eNtinguished.
Not believe In Santa Claus. You
might as we'll not believe In fairies
You might get our papa to hire men
TO watch in all the chimneys on Christ
mas eve to catch Santa Claus. but even
II they did not see santa Claus coming
down, what would that prove" Nobody
sees Santa Claus. but that Is no sign
that there Is no Santa Claus. The most
real things in the world are those that
neither children nor men can see. Did
YOU ever see fairies dancing on the
avn OF curse NOT. but that's nc
proof that they are not there. Nobody
a conceive or imagine all the wonders
there are unseen and unseeable In the
world.
You may tear apart ne baby's rattle
and see what makes the noise inside,
but there is a veil covering the unseen
world which not the strongest man. nor
even the united strength OF all the
strongest men that ever lived, could tear
apart. Only faith. fancy poetry. love,
romance, can push aside that curtain and
view n picture the supernal beauty
and glory beyond. Is Il all real: All,
Virginia, In all this world there i. moth
ing else real and abiding.
No Santa Claus, Thank God he
lives. and he lives forever. A thousand
years from now, Virginia, nay. ten times
ten thousand wears from now. he will
continue to make glad the heart OF
childhood.
