Coming National Schools.

Sir Charles evidently accepted the
made by his friend without
question:; indeed, as a man of intellect
he could not well do otherwise, for the
historical review in all things is ac-
curate and truthful. But it set him
out upon an inquiry as TO what nations
were likely to get their turn, and the
answer that he received was that they
were Russia and Great Britain. Here
we are reminded again of an almost an
cient remark of The Tribune's music
reviewer. II was on the occasion of the

IRISH FOLKSONG's INFLUENCE.

Sir Charles Stanford is 50 thoroughly
Irish thot he finds Irish Influences in
quarters in which they have never been
suspected before. We wish &c might
follow b 20 IN hiG ylscjss oI cf elk

and German. There arc ,c-ser rivers,
many OF which have charac.eri5-ics.a
striking as the greater and broader
streams Hungarian, Tyrolean, Span
ish, scandinavian, Italian and French.
The literature of Kettle folksong is by
far the largest of all and the most
varied. 1t has many branches
land and Highland Scotch, Irish (the
largest), Welsh, Cornish, ManX and
Breton. It's origin is lost in antiquity.
DR.. George Petrie, who collected some
two thousand specimens OF Irish folk
music. believed that he had found re-
semblances between Indian and Irish
lullabies. Not to be Outdone, Sir
Charles finds a relationship between
Hungarian and Irish music in the
cadences also in the ford Ornamental
ton woven around the old Irish laments
(the keens)-and he gives an instance
Of the use of the Oriental scale, with
it's interval of an augmented second, in
the Lament of Owen Roe O'Neil."
Irish harvesters have visited England
and brought about an Intervening of
Irish and English characteristics in the
folksongs of both peoples. More than
that, the Irish have tinctured even the
songs of the black slaves of our South
land Mark, note: "A similar inter
weaving of national types may be
traced in many negro melodies in
America. Dvorak's exploration into
negro melodies when he was in New
York gives an example OF this, for many
of the tunes which he used in his COM
positions of that period are really Irish
tunes colored with a negro brush" We
are reminded of the patriotic Irish
woman who claimed the invention of
the pianoforte for her country. TITS
nothing but an Irish harp put in box
and played by machinery" said she.
Unfortunately for Sir Charles's ccnten-
ton, Dvorak didn't use single negro
tune in his American compositions.
There are only three of them which
show elements drawn from negro melo-
dies-the symphony From the New
World" quartet and a quintet-and
not a single one of their themes is bor-
rowed. There is an echo of Swing

4 So far as ne contests turned on
national issues OF nll, the congressional
election In the Twenty third district In
New York is undoubtedly the most
significant. In this district, not too
lar removed from the influence OF
Tammany. the Democratic candidate
was handsomely defeated by the Re-
publican nominee after a campaign in
which national political issues were
paramount. A Republican success,
even though Bennet's majority may
not exceed 800, In asdistrict which only
twelve months ago gave 6,762 majority
to Q Democrat cannot be accounted for
u any other way than as Indicating
q widespread dissatisfaction with the
national policies of the Wilson admin
filtration. This is plain enough, but
taken in connection with the turnover
In Massachusetts-the defeat OF Gov
ernor Walsh by reunited Republican
party, the strengthening OF the Repub-
lean hold upon the legislature In New
Jersey and the result here-these facts
must be taken as indications OF q
swing Of the political pendulum away
from the party in power in Washing
ton toward the party now in OPPOSE
ton. says the Philadelphia Ledger.

seals last year helped to support thou
sands OF needy tubercuIosis patients
and to give them q chance for life.
They provided for many visiting nurs-

visits brought instruction and cheer
to numerous patients. They helped

cities from the Atlantic .to:the PACING,
where thousands Of consumptiye pa

with which the public has been edu-
Gated about tuberculosis. They have
established more than 500 open air
schools for children who need open

These are Just few OF the ways

But was Il .. Ylictorn,

White House press agents and news
papers edited from federal Offices In
sist that President Wilson scored q
great diplomatic victory over Ger
many In the recent negotiations with
that country.
lnasmuch as the negotiations with
the German government have left open
the main question raised by the Uni
ted States, 1t Is impossible to find any
basis flor claiming a.victory over the
kaiser's diplomats. On the other hand,
reservations In AGermany's latest note
would indicate that, automatically
speaking, the Germans had outgen-
eraled President Wilson and forced
him INTO an embarrassing position. &
Ir the representations this country
made to Germany In the. william p.
Frye case, the United States contended
that Germany is prohibited by the
treaty Of 1928 from sinking unresist-
ing American ships. In It's reply, Ger
many suggested arbitration OF the
Frye claim for damages and offered,
pending negotiations, to refrain from
sinking American vessels carrying
conditional contraband. by accepting
this offer, President Wilson abandoned
his original proposition and, practi-
caliy, relieved Germany of its obliga-
Tons under the treaty OF 1928.
The official German view OF the sit
nation is that Germany has scored
against America and this, doubtless, Is
the fact. While Germany has agreed
to refrain from attacking, passenger
Eesseis without warning. It no longer
feels under obligations to consult the
convention of 1928 in yiealing with
freight vessels. Their rights under the
treaty are subject to arbitration-and
there WIFI be no arbitration until the
close of the war.

Mr.. McAdoo and the Navy,

In his recent speech at Indianapolis
Secretary McAdoo did not hesitate to
make political capital of the nations
necessity by throwing the cloak of
patriotism about HIS plea for q gov
ernment-owned merchant marine.
Last year when the administration

pressed by a declaration that eve
shall not turn America into q mill
tary camp" It was urged that the
shipping bill be passed that the gov
eminent might open the gates OF
trade. This year when national de-
Tense is the biggest and most popu-
lar question before the American peo-
pie. the ship purchase bill Is revivec
and Mr.. McAdoo urges its adoption to
provide naval auxiliaries fol. the feet
says American Industries Tor Noyem-
Der.
It is indubitably true that without
naval auxiliaries the battle efficiency
OF the United States navy is reduced
to a minimum. Hospital ships, col
liers, ammunition supply ships, ten
ders and the miscellaneous impede
menta Of the sea are an essential part
of naval Organization. They are to
the navy what the supply and ammu-
milton trains are to an army In the
field, and immediate steps should be
taken to provide them.
On this score there can be no dis
agreement with Mr.. McAdoo, but the
proposed ship purchase BILLS the yer.

Itthrows upon the fed
eral government the duty of maintains

from private interests In times Of
war, II sane navigation laws were

Is assumed by the proponents of the
scheme that the use OF the ships as
merchant vessels would be sufficient
~ profitable to maintain them when
not needed by the navy. If this is
to be the plan It necessitates an =.
tic program which will provide IL
tional ships as the needs OF the navy
grow, and as modern naval powers
utilize practically their entire mer-
chant marine in time Of war, the fed
eral government would be confronted
with q gigantic commercial under
taking.
II would supplement the evil eff
fects of the seamen,s act, since the
constantly providing new
ships for the navy must support them
in competition with private undsrtak-
ings. In such competition the fate
OF private lines is not dificult to per
ceive.
II the secretary Of the treasury Is
really so anxious to provide naval
auxiliaries why does he not resort to
success by the naval and marine COM
petitors Of the United States. With
far less expenditure OF money II
would be possible to directly subsi-
die far greater number OF ships
owned and operated by private inter-
ests. With mo expenditure OF money,
by simply removing the legal obsta-
cles to the growth OF American ship
ping, the necessary ships could be
provided. not alone for the use OF
the navy, but for use as army trans
ports as well.
