SHADOWS
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1918, by Frank Crane)

Shadows are made by light. Only
when the sun shines in the field, only
when the lamp is lit in the house, do the
shadows appear.
BE comforted. then. You would not
have those strong glooms If there were
no bright loy-Sun somewhere. You
never feel sin until the idea of right
eouSness rises in you. You would not
be cursed with fear had you no courage,
for fear is the shadow of courage, as
guilt is the shadow of integrity.
Far from proving the absence Of
light. the shadow proves within you no
bright self-eSteem.
Though shadow is east by substance.
yet We learn of substance by shadow.
This is Plato's conceit, who said that
human beings are as men in cave,
with their backs TO the light, who OBJ
tain all their knowledge of reality from
the shadows falling on the wall before
them. }
So on the souls surface float the re-
Elections of the universe, as trees and

own soul is the crystal.
What we call our opinions are but
shadows of things. And n fact falls
long and slantwise on me because my
sun is westerly, and short and dark upon
you for yours is MONDAY.
Why should we quarrel and argue
about differences OF conviction? Let us
move until we stand in the same rela-
| tive position toward the light; then
only shall we agree.
The thing stands still; the shadow
moves. II | stand erect all day in the
street my shadow will circle around me,

Let There Be a Statue In
Memory of This Grand Man

Last Thursday. Detroit seemed a lone
some town, because the noise Of the
street-earS was missing
Saturday also seemed like Sabbath TO
Thousands of Detroiters who read that
Judge phelan had passed away.
Somehow, the city seemed different: it
was as if calamity like the Lusitania
disaster had been announced, and yet that
wasn't quite the feeling.
For pervading the general sorrow was
a SENSATION of brotherhood among those
who had known the judge, a sense o.
nearness and sympathy. as if something
of the judges own spirit had entered into
the hearts of his friends.
1t was as if great orators voice had
ceased addressing throng, and the spell
of his words was vibrant in their beings
Now for man, by the simple, natural
act, or cessation of action, known as
death, to produce such an impression on a
whole community connotes greatness.
hlpilnQ wrote.
"When that great kings return to clay,
Or emperors in their pride,
Grief of day shall fill day
Because its creature died"
But Judge Phelan's greatness was not
that of an emperor great only by posi-
ton; nor is the grief that follows his
passing the wordy, compulsory grief that
spouts for the moment and is forgotten.
In fact, We scarcely realized that Judge
Phelan was great; he was too near US,
too human.
The perspective of time brings great
ness to some men; of distance, to others.
To Stanton, Lincoln was fool when
to thousands of men who had never seen
him, he was an idol; in America, Asquith
looms large, while there are many Of his
associates in England who regard him as
very ordinary.
Death has created that perspective for
US with Judge Phelan his foibles now
appear the eccentrieities Of greatness,
while his gentleness, his generosity, his
patience, his humanity are all attributes
of beauty of character which has be-
come suddenly vivid
If the Judge had a weakness, it was a
weakness for doing good.
Newspapermen Of short acquaintance
with him sometimes accused him Of seek
ing publicity.
For If the judge were charging a Jury
or sentencing criminal, he kept one eye
on the reporters; and when they ceased
taking notes of his remarks, he ceased
talking.
But those who knew him better knew
that he knew that newspapermen like
copy and it was TO give the "boys"
STORY" rather than TO gain publicity
for himself, that he delivered these
Picturesque orations from the bench.
IL he wanted advertising, there were
hundreds of deeds that he did silently,
stunning publicity and taking precaution
against it, that would have put his name
on the first page Of the papers every day
A man responsible for one-fftieth Of
the number of his benefactions could
have achieved wider fame for benevo-
lcnce than Judge Phelan had.
1t would be impossible to estimate with
any accuracy the number of people who
feel that they owe something to Judge

yields a total revenue of exactly ST.
100000 and in the stress Of these cri-
tical times will be increased $500, 900.
One would say that the landed aris-
tocracy might be fairly cOmplacent
under such a load.
And yet, in another way, these con-
ditiOns may make an enormous diff
ference, and will. Come on this side
of the English channel, to France,
for example. Tere is another idea
about finance and another situation.
Beyond aIl'doubt, France has handled
herself with marvellous skill and abil-
ity. RibOt, the French minister of
finance, is the commanding financial
genius of the war. His country will
owe as much to him as to any gen
eraI in the field, when all is over.
Up to May 1 France, the country
that at the beginning had the heav-
lest debt, had done these marvellous
things:
She had held for eight months a
battle line SAB miles long. She had
kept her vast army well fed and per-
fectly supplied. She was furnishing
from her own factories and without
difficulty practically all her munitions
of war. /
She has not GENEROUSLY increased
her taxes. She had borrowed chiefly
from her own people. She was in
easy financial conditions. She was
feeding herself.
Her people at home had undergone
no privations. Most astonishing fact
of all, the cost of living had risen but
little.
At the outbreak of the war, for
which she was UnpTepared, the Bank
of France, that wonderful institu-
ton, advanced to the government the
funds needed to start things. From
that time until May 1 there had been |
authorized the issuing of one billion |
two hundred million dollars of ma
i

In this economical way France had
conducted her gigantic operations. Il
is an extraordinary story, more in
teresting than any campaign Of fight-f
ing. will try to ten some Of it in
another chapter.
Much of the economic strength Of
France lies in this very fact that she
has borrowed at home. Her national
defense bonds are held by her own
peOple-poor people and people Of
the most modest means. AS NJ. Ri
bot said in conversation a day or two
ago, the French peasants are going
down into their stockings and on
their thrift the war is fought.
The melancholy fact about the
English situation is that it lies all the
other way. The French debt is owned
by French peasants and workers. The
English debt is held by bankers, for
eigners, financier and wealthy inves-
tors.
When the huge interest comes to
be paid on the huge war debts, in
France to a certain extent it will flow
around from the producers and back
again, and in England it will flow
from the producers to the wealthy.
Therefore, so far as one can see at
present, the net result of all this debt
piIing in Great Britain will be further
to impoverish the classes terribly i'm
pOverished now. It will be so else
where more or less. 1t will be so most
markedly in Great Britain.
Behold, then, an impending disas-
ter greater than war.
For in that case every physical and
social i'll that now afflicts the land
will be multiplied upon it. There will
be more poverty, more slums, more
misery, more disease, more darkness,
more physical decline.
Poverty and its products have al
ready worked an almost irreparable

ATTILa, KING OF THE HUNS
Warrior-earbarian Who Ravased a
Great Part Of Europe in the
Fifth Century.

Like the Huns under Attila" is a
phrase which is on everybody's lips
at the present time. Yet comparative
ly few people 'know by whom it was
first used. or understand the refer
ence.
1t was with these words that the
kaiser bid farewell to his troops when
they were dispatched to China to help
to put down the Boxer rising. Gain
reputation like the Huns under At
tila." he told them. says London Tit
Bits. The significance of the advice
will be appreciated when 1t is realized
that Attila was a barbaric chief whose
ravages in Europe about the begin
ming OF the fifth century gained for
him the name of the Scourge of God. ="
The leader of countless hordes of
Huns. who were Mongol race which
crossed the Volga and struck terror
into Europe, he was regarded by his
men with superstitious reverence and
by Christendom with superstitious
dread. Among the acts which were
committed by his direction were the
following:
Bleda, his brother and co-chieftain.
put to death
All the countries between the Black
sea and the Mediterranean devastated
and pillaged.
Thrace, Macedon and Greece over
run and 10 fiourishing cities devas-
tated.
Several cities in Italy razed to the
ground and their inhabitants put to
the sword.
Conquered peoples either killed or
forced to follow in his train as prison
ers.
Yet for all this ruthlessness Attila
was a magnificent soldier and a strik-
ing personality. He was induced to
spare Rome from destruction by the
personal mediation of Pope Leo l, who
is said to have subdued his ferocity
into awe by the apostolic majesty of
his mien. This deliverance was regard
ed as a miracle by the affrighted Ro-
mans, and old chroniclers relate that
the Apostles Peter and Paul appeared
in Attila's camp and changed his pur-
pose.
Attila died on the night of his mar
riage with the beautiful Hilda-pos-
sibly by her hand. His death spread
CONSERVATION through the host of
Huns. who cut themselves with knives.
shaved their heads and then prepared
TO celebrate the funeral rites of their
king. His body was placed in three
coffins-the first of gold, the second of
silver and the third of iron. The ca
PARSONS of his horses with his arms
and ornaments were buried with him,
while the captives employed to make
his grave were all put to death SO that
none might betray the last resting
place of Attila, king Of the Huns.
