not pertain to the business Of the

A second point about 1t Is that 1t

London, Eng, Oct. 18.-The Ca
madam in England is a long, long
way from home"
Thousands of Canadian soldiers
wives have followed their husbands
to the Old Country, some boats
bringing near 1000 of them. Scores
OF these wanderers find themselves
stranded; then tiny tragedies follow.
The dominion government gives a
grant of $40 a month and soldier
must assign his wife half his pay
CSl5 month";. But when the Otta-
wa paymaster has notice of a wife's
departure for England it takes time
to transfer the allowance. Hence a
poor woman may find herself alone
and penniless in strange land.
Mary Smith, a girl wife, left Que
bee to be near her husband in Eng
land. She reached London and
promptly sought his address at Ca
madam headquarters. There officials
soon discovered the soldieT-husband
had left for France two hours before
his wife's arrival. That was the first
week of the big push" Today the
soldier is missing"
Anna Jones of Montreal mortgaged
the furniture of her little fiat to
reach London and her wounded hus-
band. Weary and weak with over

hospital, so feeble from his heavy
hurt that he is about to be invaded
out Of the service. He, as a soldier
hOnOrably discharged, will be sent
back to Canada, the government pay
ing his fare. But even the open
handed dominion is not responsible
for the passage money of his wan
deTing wife.

material furnished him by b.
con, and that after they were
written they were again turned
over to Bacon for such polishing
as he saw fit, and then to Shake
speare, who prepared them for
presentation on the stage. That
is rather complicated, though
not impossible, process.
We have long had a pet theory
based on nothing in particular
that some man whose name has
been entirely lost did the writing,
that when Shakespeare. the pro-
ducer-manager, wanted a play,
he simply ordered this unknown
genius to write it-and then
slashed it around as he pleased,
writing in some of the impossible
things" most unkindest," and
the like of that.
But we have no especial pride
in our theory, and it amounts to
nothing-just as all the rest of
them am cunt to nothing. Shake
speare is Shakespeare. Essen.
TALLY. it cannot matter even in
the smallest way what name
somebody called when summon
ing him to dinner. It is not the
mantle fiesh-and-b blood man
anyhow. The Shakespeare that
all of us know is the Shakespeare
between the covers of a book,
the Shakespeare that. after these
three hundred years, from the
other side of the footlights. can
The Parisian. (Paris, Tenn.) 1907-1962, 1916-04-28

still put it across. That is
the real identity of Shakespeare,
and no man needs to delve in
musty places or twist himself
through supertine mental mazes
to know it.
Suppose it could be established
that Bacon, or Marlowe, or a
fellow named Jones, actually did
the writing. Not a thing would
be changed. Shakespeare would
still be Shakespeare. The mad
prince, the avacicious merchant,
all the rest of them, cannot, after
three centuries, be separated
from the name they have borne.
1t may matter a little rather,
it may furnish a little morbid
gratification-to the man who
loves digging into dead things,
this search for a Shakespeare
other than Shakespeare. To the
great bulk of human beings it
never can matter at all.
Shakespeare is Shakespeare.
All of US know him and love him.
We need not bother about his
name any more than we bother
about the name of Junius.
